Phoenix Moving Average Meter
- Indicators
- Jaamal Anthony Victor Black
- Version: 1.10
- Updated: 21 September 2026
This is an actively maintained release, rebuilt and expanded for current MT5 builds.
A widening or narrowing moving-average cloud carries real information about trend strength and possible exhaustion; judging cloud width and slope consistently, bar after bar, by eye alone is hard to do reliably.
Phoenix Moving Average Meter reads the angle and width of your fast/slow MA cloud and classifies both against their own recent average, so you can see whether the current trend is accelerating, flattening, or stretched, at a glance.
How it reads the trend for you
- The Slope Gauge, showing MA angle from -90° (falling) to +90° (rising)
- The Width Gauge, classified into five zones (very tight to very wide) relative to its own recent average
- Configurable fast/slow MA periods, method and applied price
- A combined bullish/bearish status readout
Alerts
Configurable alerts for crossovers, steep trend moves, trend weakening, and extended (stretched) trends, each with an independent cooldown.
Use Phoenix Moving Average Meter to:
- Spot a trend accelerating before it's obvious on the raw MA lines
- Catch early signs of a trend weakening or running out of room
- Confirm a crossover signal with the width and slope context around it
How to use it
1. Attach to any chart and set your usual fast/slow MA periods.
2. Watch the Slope Gauge for early signs of acceleration or flattening.
3. Watch the Width Gauge for a cloud that's unusually tight (possible breakout setup) or unusually wide (possible exhaustion).
4. Enable the alerts that match what you're watching for (crossover, steep, weakening, extended).
Installation
Download from the MQL5 Market and attach to any chart. Set the fast and slow MA periods to match your usual setup.
Requirements
MetaTrader 5 build 3280 or higher. Works on any symbol and timeframe.
Important Notes
Slope and width classification are based on historical price data. They do not predict future trend behaviour.
