Introduzione

L'articolo prosegue l’argomento dei template già pronti per l'utilizzo degli indicatori negli EA. Abbiamo già considerato i template per collegare gli oscillatori e gli indicatori di volume e Bill Williams agli EA.
In questa sede ci occuperemo della connessione agli EA e dell'utilizzo degli indicatori di trend. Come negli articoli precedenti, visualizzeremo i dati ricevuti dagli indicatori sul pannello creato nel primo articolo di questa serie.

L'articolo non differirà in alcun modo dai precedenti in termini di presentazione - una breve panoramica di ogni indicatore di trend e codici concisi per collegare e utilizzare gli indicatori negli EA.

L'articolo presenterà template già pronti da utilizzare nei programmi personalizzati per ciascun indicatore:

Variabili di input e globali.
Inizializzazione delle variabili e creazione di un handle (gestore) dell’indicatore.
Deinizializzazione.
Ricezione dei dati dell'indicatore nell’EA.
Un esempio di visualizzazione dei dati ottenuti sul pannello.

L'articolo consente di utilizzare i codici come copia-incolla.

Adaptive Moving Average

L'indicatore tecnico Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) è utilizzato per costruire una media mobile con una bassa sensibilità ai rumori della serie dei prezzi ed è caratterizzato da un ritardo minimo per il rilevamento del trend. Questo indicatore è stato sviluppato e descritto da Perry Kaufman nel suo libro "Smarter Trading".

Uno degli svantaggi dei differenti algoritmi di attenuazione per la serie di prezzi è che i salti di prezzo accidentali possono provocare l'apparizione di falsi segnali di trend. D'altra parte, l’attenuazione o smussatura conduce all'inevitabile ritardo di un segnale riguardo la fine o il cambiamento del trend. Questo indicatore è stato sviluppato per eliminare questi due svantaggi.

Parametri

La funzione iAMA() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l'handle dell'indicatore Adaptive Moving Average. Solo un buffer.

int  iAMA(
   string              symbol,             // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,             // period
   int                 ama_period,         // AMA period
   int                 fast_ma_period,     // fast Moving Average period
   int                 slow_ma_period,     // slow Moving Average period
   int                 ama_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price       // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ama_period

[in] Periodo per il calcolo del tasso di efficienza.

fast_ma_period

[in] Periodo veloce per il calcolo del tasso di attenuazione quando il mercato si muove velocemente.

slow_ma_period

[in] Periodo lento per il calcolo del tasso di attenuazione in assenza di trend.

ama_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

Restituisce l'handle dell'indicatore tecnico specificato. Se fallisce, restituisce INVALID_HANDLE. Per liberare la memoria del computer da un indicatore inutilizzato, utilizzare IndicatorRelease() a cui viene passato l'handle dell'indicatore.

L'enumerazione ENUM_LINE_STATE è stata creata per semplificare l'ottenimento dello stato di una linea dell'indicatore - ovvero la sua forma e posizione rispetto alla linea di un altro indicatore o di un qualsiasi livello.
Per ulteriori informazioni sull'enumerazione, consultare l'articolo sugli oscillatori nella sezione parametri dell'indicatore ATR.

Quando si utilizza il pannello nell'EA, dichiarare le variabili globali e includere il file della classe del pannello:

//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- create timer
   EventSetTimer(60);

//--- Indicator
//--- Set and adjust the calculation period and levels if necessary
   period=int(InpPeriod<1 ? 9 : InpPeriod);

   ind_digits=Digits()+1;
//--- Create indicator handle
   ResetLastError();
   handle=iAMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,period,period_fast,period_slow,InpShift,InpPrice);
   if(handle==INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      PrintFormat("%s: Failed to create indicator handle %s. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,ind_title,GetLastError());
      return INIT_FAILED;
     }

//--- Successful initialization
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

Se l'EA prevede l'utilizzo del pannello, crearlo qui:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {

  }

Deinizializzazione

Rilasciare l'handle dell'indicatore nel gestore OnDeinit() dell’EA:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
  }

L’oggetto dashboard creato viene rimosso quando si utilizza il pannello:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
   
//--- If the panel object exists, delete it
   if(panel!=NULL)
      delete panel;
  }

Inoltre, quando si utilizza il pannello, il gestore degli eventi del pannello viene richiamato nel gestore degli eventi dell’EA OnChartEvent(), così come vengono gestiti gli eventi per la ricezione dell'indice della barra sotto il cursore:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| ChartEvent function                                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnChartEvent(const int id,
                  const long &lparam,
                  const double &dparam,
                  const string &sparam)
  {
//--- Handling the panel
//--- Call the panel event handler
   panel.OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam);

//--- If the cursor moves or a click is made on the chart
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE || id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK)
     {
      //--- Declare the variables to record time and price coordinates in them
      datetime time=0;
      double price=0;
      int wnd=0;
      //--- If the cursor coordinates are converted to date and time
      if(ChartXYToTimePrice(ChartID(),(int)lparam,(int)dparam,wnd,time,price))
        {
         //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable
         mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time);
         //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel 
         DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time);
        }
     }

//--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal
   if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM)
     {
      //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel
      PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam);
     }
  }

Dopo aver compilato l'EA e averlo lanciato sul grafico, possiamo monitorare lo stato del valore e della linea dell'indicatore sul pannello:

È possibile visualizzare l’EA di test TestTrendAMA.mq5 nei file allegati all'articolo.

Average Directional Movement Index

Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) aiuta a determinare se esiste un trend dei prezzi. È stato sviluppato e descritto in dettaglio da Welles Wilder nel suo libro "New concepts in technical trading systems".

Il metodo di trading più semplice basato sul sistema di direzione del movimento comporta il confronto di due indicatori di direzione: quello +DI a 14 periodi e quello -DI a 14 periodi. Per fare ciò, si mette il grafico degli indicatori uno sopra l'altro, oppure +DI viene sottratto da -DI. W. Wilder raccomanda di acquistare quando +DI è superiore a -DI, e vendere quando +DI scende più in basso di -DI.

A queste semplici regole di trading, Wells Wilder aggiunse la "regola dei punti estremi". Viene utilizzato per eliminare i falsi segnali e per ridurre il numero di operazioni. Secondo il principio dei punti estremi, il "punto estremo" è il punto in cui +DI e -DI si incrociano. Se +DI aumenta più di -DI, questo punto sarà il prezzo massimo del giorno quando si incrociano. Se +DI è inferiore a -DI, questo punto sarà il prezzo minimo del giorno in cui si incrociano.

Il punto estremo viene quindi utilizzato come livello di entrata sul mercato. Quindi, dopo che si ha il segnale di buy (+DI è superiore a -DI) bisogna aspettare finché il prezzo non ha superato il punto estremo, e solo allora acquistare. Tuttavia, se il prezzo non supera il livello del punto estremo, si dovrebbe mantenere la posizione short.

Parametri

La funzione iADX() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l’handle dell'indicatore Average Directional Movement Index.

int  iADX(
   string           symbol,         // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period,         // period
   int              adx_period      // averaging period
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

adx_period

[in] Periodo di calcolo dell'indice.

Indici dei buffer: 0 — MAIN_LINE, 1 — PLUSDI_LINE, 2 — MINUSDI_LINE.

Average Directional Movement Index Wilder

Average Directional Movement Index Wilder (ADX Wilder) aiuta a determinare se esiste un trend dei prezzi. Questo indicatore tecnico è costruito come una rigorosa corrispondenza con l'algoritmo descritto da Welles Wilder nel suo libro "New concepts in technical trading systems".

Le regole di trading per questo indicatore sono descritte nella sezione Average Directional Movement Index.

Parametri

La funzione iADXWilder() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Return the handle of the Average Directional Movement Index by Welles Wilder.

int  iADXWilder(
   string           symbol,         // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period,         // period
   int              adx_period      // averaging period
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

adx_period

[in] Periodo di calcolo dell'indice.

Indici dei buffer: 0 — MAIN_LINE, 1 — PLUSDI_LINE, 2 — MINUSDI_LINE.

Bollinger Bands®

Le Bande di Bollinger (BB) sono simili alle Envelopes. L'unica differenza è che le bande di Envelopes sono tracciate a una distanza fissa (%) dalla media mobile, mentre le Bande di Bollinger sono tracciate a un certo numero di deviazioni standard da essa. La deviazione standard è una misura della volatilità, quindi le Bande di Bollinger si adattano alle condizioni di mercato. Quando i mercati diventano più volatili, le bande si allargano e si contraggono in periodi meno volatili.

Le bande di Bollinger sono solitamente disegnate sul grafico dei prezzi, ma possono anche essere aggiunte al grafico dell’indicatore. Proprio come nel caso delle Envelopes l'interpretazione delle Bande di Bollinger si basa sul fatto che i prezzi tendono a rimanere tra la linea superiore e quella inferiore delle bande. Una caratteristica distintiva delle Bande di Bollinger è la sua larghezza variabile a causa della volatilità dei prezzi. Nei periodi di variazioni di prezzo considerevoli (cioè di elevata volatilità) le bande si allargano lasciando molto spazio ai prezzi per muoversi. Durante i periodi di stallo o i periodi di scarsa volatilità, le bande contratte mantengono i prezzi entro i loro limiti.

Le seguenti caratteristiche sono peculiari della Banda di Bollinger:

i bruschi cambiamenti dei prezzi tendono ad accadere dopo che le bande si sono contratte a causa della diminuzione della volatilità;
se i prezzi passano attraverso la banda superiore, si può aspettare una continuazione dell'attuale trend;
se i picchi e gli avvallamenti al di fuori della banda sono seguiti da picchi e avvallamenti all'interno della banda, può verificarsi un'inversione di tendenza;
il movimento dei prezzi che è partito da una delle linee della banda di solito raggiunge quella opposta.

L'ultima osservazione è utile per le previsioni sui prezzi.

Parametri

La funzione iBands() viene utilizzata per creare l'handle dell'indicatore:

Double Exponential Moving Average

Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) è stata sviluppata da Patrick Mulloy e pubblicata nel febbraio 1994 sulla rivista "Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities". Viene usato per attenuare la serie dei prezzi e viene applicato direttamente su un grafico di un titolo finanziario. Inoltre, può essere utilizzato per smussare i valori di altri indicatori.

Il vantaggio di questo indicatore è che elimina i falsi segnali al movimento dei prezzi “a denti di sega” e consente di salvare una posizione ad una forte tendenza.

Parametri

La funzione iDEMA() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l'handle dell'indicatore Double Exponential Moving Average. Solo un buffer.

int  iDEMA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ma_period

[in] Periodo (numero di barre) per il calcolo dell'indicatore.

ma_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

Envelopes

L'indicatore tecnico Envelopes è formato da due medie mobili, una delle quali è spostata verso l'alto e l'altra verso il basso. La scelta del numero relativo di spostamenti dei margini della banda è determinata con la volatilità del mercato: maggiore è il valore di quest'ultimo, più forte è lo spostamento.

Envelopes definiscono i margini superiore e inferiore della fascia di prezzo. Il segnale di vendere appare quando il prezzo raggiunge il margine superiore della banda; il segnale di acquistare compare quando il prezzo raggiunge il margine inferiore.

La logica dietro Envelopes è che gli acquirenti e venditori inesperti spingono il prezzo agli estremi (cioè le bande superiori e inferiori), a quel punto i prezzi spesso si stabilizzano passando a livelli più realistici. Questo è simile all'interpretazione delle Bollinger Bands® (BB).

Parametri

La funzione iEnvelopes() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l’handle dell’indicatore Envelopes.

int  iEnvelopes(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // central line calculation period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_MA_METHOD      ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price,     // price type or handle
   double              deviation          // deviation of channel borders from the central line
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ma_period

[in] Il periodo di mediazione della linea principale dell'indicatore.

ma_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

ma_method

[in] Metodo di mediazione. Uno qualsiasi dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_MA_METHOD.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

deviazione

[in] Percentuale di deviazione dalla linea principale.

Indici dei buffer: 0 — UPPER_LINE, 1 — LOWER_LINE.

È possibile visualizzare l'EA di test TestTrendEnvelopes.mq5 nei file allegati all'articolo.

Fractal Adaptive Moving Average

Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) è stato sviluppato da John Ehlers. Questo indicatore è costruito sulla base dell'algoritmo della media mobile esponenziale, in cui il fattore di attenuazione viene calcolato in base alla dimensione frattale attuale dell'intervallo del prezzo. L'indicatore FRAMA segue i forti movimenti di trend e rallenta significativamente durante il consolidamento dei prezzi.

Tutti i tipi di analisi utilizzati per lavorare con le medie mobili possono essere applicati anche a questo indicatore.

Parametri

La funzione iFrAMA() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l'handle dell'indicatore Fractal Adaptive Moving Average. Solo un buffer.

int  iFrAMA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ma_period

[in] Periodo (numero di barre) per il calcolo dell'indicatore.

ma_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo

L'indicatore tecnico Ichimoku Kinko Hyo è predefinito per caratterizzare la tendenza del mercato, i Livelli di Supporto e Resistenza e per generare segnali di acquisto e vendita. Questo indicatore funziona meglio nei grafici settimanali e giornalieri.

Quando si definisce la dimensione dei parametri, vengono utilizzati quattro intervalli di tempo di lunghezza diversa. I valori delle singole linee che compongono questo indicatore si basano su questi intervalli:

Tenkan-sen mostra il valore medio del prezzo durante il primo intervallo di tempo definito come la somma massima e minima entro questo tempo diviso per due;
Kijun-sen mostra il valore medio del prezzo durante il secondo intervallo di tempo;
Senkou Span A mostra il centro della distanza tra le due linee precedenti spostate in avanti del valore del secondo intervallo di tempo;
Senkou Span B mostra il valore medio del prezzo durante il terzo intervallo di tempo spostato in avanti dal valore del secondo intervallo di tempo.

Chikou Span mostra il prezzo di chiusura dell'attuale candela spostato all'indietro per il valore del secondo intervallo di tempo. La distanza tra le linee Senkou è tratteggiata con un altro colore ed è chiamata "nuvola". Se il prezzo è tra queste linee, il mercato dovrebbe essere considerato come non in trend e quindi i margini della nuvola formano i livelli di supporto e resistenza.

Se il prezzo è sopra la nuvola, la sua linea superiore costituisce il primo livello di supporto e la seconda linea forma il secondo livello di supporto;
Se il prezzo è sotto la nuvola, la linea inferiore forma il primo livello di resistenza e quella superiore il secondo livello;
Se la linea Chinkou Span attraversa il grafico dei prezzi in direzione dal-basso verso l’alto, è un segnale di acquisto. Se la linea Chinkou Span attraversa il grafico dei prezzi in direzione dall'alto verso il basso, è un segnale di vendita.

Kijun-sen viene utilizzato come indicatore del movimento del mercato. Se il prezzo è più alto di questo indicatore, probabilmente i prezzi continueranno ad aumentare. Quando il prezzo attraversa questa linea è possibile un ulteriore cambiamento di trend. Un altro tipo di utilizzo del Kijun-sen è quello di dare segnali. Il segnale di acquisto viene generato quando la linea Tenkan-sen incrocia la Kijun-sen dal basso verso l'alto. La direzione dall'alto verso il basso è il segnale di vendita. Tenkan-sen viene utilizzato come indicatore della tendenza del mercato. Se questa linea aumenta o diminuisce, la tendenza esiste. Quando va orizzontalmente, significa che il mercato è entrato in un canale.

Moving Average (Media Mobile)

Moving Average (MA) mostra il valore medio del prezzo dello strumento per un determinato periodo di tempo. Quando si calcola la media mobile, si media il prezzo dello strumento per questo periodo di tempo. Quando il prezzo cambia, la sua media mobile aumenta o diminuisce.

Esistono quattro tipi diversi di medie mobili: semplice (detta anche Aritmetica), esponenziale, attenuata o smussata e ponderarta. La media mobile può essere calcolata per qualsiasi insieme di dati sequenziali, compresi i prezzi di apertura e chiusura, i prezzi massimi e minimi, il volume di trading o altri indicatori. Spesso avviene quando vengono utilizzate due medie mobili.

L'unica cosa in cui i diversi tipi di medie mobili si differenziano notevolmente l'una dall'altra, è quando i coefficienti di peso, assegnati agli ultimi dati, sono differenti. Nel caso della (Media Mobile Semplice), tutti i prezzi del periodo di tempo in questione hanno lo stesso peso. Media Mobile Esponenziale e Media Mobile Ponderata Lineare assegnano un peso maggiore ai prezzi più recenti.

Il modo più comune di interpretare la media mobile dei prezzi è quello di confrontare la sua dinamica con l'azione dei prezzi. Quando il prezzo dello strumento sale al di sopra della sua media mobile, compare un segnale di acquisto, mentre se il prezzo scende al di sotto della sua media mobile, si ha un segnale di vendita.

Questo sistema di trading, basato sulla media mobile, non è destinato a fornire l'ingresso nel mercato proprio nel suo punto più basso, e la sua uscita proprio in cima. Permette di agire secondo la seguente tendenza: acquistare subito dopo che i prezzi raggiungono il fondo e vendere subito dopo che i prezzi hanno raggiunto il loro picco.

Le medie mobili possono anche essere applicate agli indicatori. L'interpretazione delle medie mobili degli indicatori è simile a quella delle medie mobili dei prezzi: se l'indicatore sale al di sopra della sua media mobile, significa che il movimento ascendente dell'indicatore è destinato a proseguire; se l'indicatore scende al di sotto della sua media mobile, significa che è probabile che continui a scendere.

Ecco i tipi di medie mobili sul grafico:

Simple Moving Average (SMA - Media Mobile Semplice)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA - Media Mobile Esponenziale)
Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA - Media Mobile Smussata)
Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA - Media Mobile Ponderata Lineare)

Parametri

La funzione iMA() viene utilizzata per creare l'handle dell'indicatore:

Return moving average indicator handle. Only one buffer.

   ENUM_MA_METHOD       ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE   applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ma_period

[in] Periodo di mediazione per il calcolo della media mobile.

Impostazione Parabolic SAR

Parabolic SAR è stato sviluppato per analizzare i mercati in trend. L'indicatore viene costruito sul grafico dei prezzi. Questo indicatore è simile alla Media Mobile con l'unica differenza che il Parabolic SAR si muove con un'accelerazione maggiore e può cambiare la sua posizione rispetto al prezzo. L'indicatore è al di sotto dei prezzi nel mercato toro (Up Trend), mentre quando il mercato è orso (Down Trend) è al di sopra dei prezzi.

Se il prezzo attraversa la linea Parabolic SAR, l'indicatore si trasforma e i suoi ulteriori valori si trovano dall'altra parte del prezzo. Quando avviene un’inversione di tale indicatore, il prezzo massimo o minimo per il periodo precedente serve da punto di partenza. Quando l'indicatore inverte, fornisce un segnale di fine trend (fase di correzione o lateralità), o della sua inversione.

Il Parabolic SAR è un indicatore eccezionale per la fornitura di punti di uscita. Le posizioni long dovrebbero essere chiuse quando il prezzo scende al di sotto della linea SAR, le posizioni short dovrebbero essere chiuse quando il prezzo sale sopra la linea SAR. In altre parole, è necessario seguire la direzione del Parabolic SAR e tenere aperte solo le posizioni che si trovano nella stessa direzione del Parabolic SAR. L'indicatore viene spesso utilizzato come linea di trailing stop.

Se la posizione long è aperta (cioè il prezzo è al di sopra della linea SAR), la linea Parabolic SAR salirà, indipendentemente dalla direzione dei prezzi. L'entità del movimento della linea Parabolic SAR dipende dal valore del movimento del prezzo.

Parametri

La funzione iSAR() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l’handle dell’indicatore Parabolic Stop and Reverse Solo un buffer.

int  iSAR(
   string           symbol,      // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period,      // period
   double           step,        // price change step — acceleration factor
   double           maximum      // maximum step
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

step

[in] Passo di variazione del prezzo, solitamente 0,02.

maximum

[in] Passo massimo, di solito 0,2.

Dopo aver compilato l'EA e averlo lanciato sul grafico, possiamo monitorare lo stato del valore e della linea dell'indicatore sul pannello:

È possibile visualizzare l'EA di test TestTrendSAR.mq5 nei file allegati all'articolo.

Deviazione Standard

La Deviazione Standard (StdDev) misura la volatilità del mercato. Questo indicatore descrive l'intervallo di fluttuazione dei prezzi rispetto alla mediaMedia Mobile. Quindi, se il valore di questo indicatore è alto, il mercato è volatile e i prezzi delle barre sono piuttosto distanziati rispetto alla media mobile. Se il valore dell'indicatore è basso, il mercato può essere descritto come a bassa volatilità e i prezzi delle barre sono piuttosto vicini alla media mobile.

Normalmente, questo indicatore viene utilizzato come componente di altri indicatori. Ad esempio, nel calcolo delle Bollinger Bands®, il valore della deviazione standard del simbolo viene sommato alla sua media mobile.

La dinamica del mercato è rappresentata dall'interscambio di periodi di lateralità e alta attività, quindi l'approccio a questo indicatore è semplice:

se il suo valore è troppo basso, cioè il mercato è assolutamente inattivo, ha senso aspettarsi presto un picco;
altrimenti, se è estremamente elevato, molto probabilmente significa che l'attività diminuirà presto.

Parametri

La funzione iStdDev() viene utilizzata per creare l'handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l’handle dell'indicatore della deviazione standard. Solo un buffer.

int  iStdDev(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_MA_METHOD      ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ma_period

[in] Periodo di mediazione per il calcolo dell'indicatore.

ma_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

ma_method

[in] Metodo di mediazione. Può avere qualsiasi valore dell'enumerazione ENUM_MA_METHOD.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

Triple Exponential Moving Average

Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) è stata sviluppata da Patrick Mulloy e pubblicata nella rivista "Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities". I suoi principi di calcolo sono simili a quelli di DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average). Il nome "Triple Exponential Moving Average" non riflette molto correttamente il suo algoritmo. Si tratta di una miscela unica di medie mobili esponenziali singole, doppie e triple, che offre una latenza inferiore a quella di ciascuna di esse.

TEMA può essere utilizzata al posto delle medie mobili tradizionali. Può essere utilizzata per smussare i dati sui prezzi, nonché per smussare altri indicatori.

Parametri

La funzione iTEMA() viene utilizzata per creare l’handle dell'indicatore:

Restituisce l'handle dell'indicatore Triple Exponential Moving Average. Solo un buffer.

int  iTEMA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

ma_period

[in] Periodo (numero di barre) per il calcolo dell'indicatore.

ma_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

Variable Index Dynamic Average

Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) è stato sviluppato da Tushar Chande. Si tratta di un metodo originale per calcolare la Media Mobile Esponenziale (EMA) con un periodo di mediazione che cambia dinamicamente. Il periodo di mediazione dipende dalla volatilità del mercato; come misura della volatilità è stato scelto il Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO). Questo oscillatore misura il rapporto tra la somma degli incrementi positivi e la somma degli incrementi negativi per un determinato periodo (periodo di CMO). Il valore CMO viene utilizzato come rapporto con il fattore di attenuazione EMA. Pertanto, l'indicatore VIDYA ha due impostazioni: il periodo dell'oscillatore CMO e il periodo di attenuazione della media mobile esponenziale (periodo EMA).

Parametri

La funzione iVIDyA() viene utilizzata per creare la maniglia dell'indicatore:

   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Il nome del simbolo dello strumento finanziario i cui dati devono essere utilizzati per calcolare l'indicatore. NULL indica il simbolo corrente.

period

[in] Il valore del periodo, può essere uno dei valori dell'enumerazione ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 indica il timeframe corrente.

cmo_period

[in] Periodo (numero di barre) per il calcolo del Chande Momentum Oscillator.

ema_period

[in] Periodo EMA (numero di barre) per il calcolo del fattore di attenuazione.

ma_shift

[in] Scostamento dell'indicatore rispetto al grafico dei prezzi.

applied_price

[in] Prezzo applicato. Uno qualsiasi delle costanti di prezzo ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE o un altro handle di un indicatore.

Deinizializzazione

Rilasciare l'handle dell'indicatore nel gestore OnDeinit() dell’EA:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
  }

L’oggetto dashboard creato viene rimosso quando si utilizza il pannello:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
   
//--- If the panel object exists, delete it
   if(panel!=NULL)
      delete panel;
  }

Dopo aver compilato l'EA e averlo lanciato sul grafico, possiamo monitorare lo stato del valore e della linea dell'indicatore sul pannello:

È possibile visualizzare l'EA di prova TestTrendVIDYA.mq5 nei file allegati all'articolo.

Conclusioni

Abbiamo esaminato tutti i tipi di indicatori tecnici disponibili nel terminale MetaTrader 5, nonché considerato il loro collegamento con indicatori ed EA e il recupero dei dati. La questione dell'utilizzo di indicatori multi-simbolo e multi-periodo negli EA e negli indicatori rimane aperta. Il prossimo articolo sarà dedicato alla creazione di strumenti per la connessione di indicatori multi-simbolo e multi-periodo a EA e indicatori, nonché alla ricezione dei dati e segnali da questi ultimi.

Potete copiare tutti i codici sopra "così come sono" e utilizzarli nei vostri sviluppi. Tutti gli EA di prova considerati sono allegati di seguito.
