The Chaikin Oscillator indicator provides a flexible approach to trend analysis by incorporating a selection of ten distinct smoothing algorithms. This allows traders to customize the indicator's responsiveness and behavior to suit various market conditions and trading strategies. The available smoothing methods include:Also recommended: stochastic oscillator indicator for metatrader 5 - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
- Simple Moving Average
- Exponential Moving Average
- Smoothed Moving Average
- Linear Weighted Moving Average
- JMA Adaptive Average
- Ultralinear Smoothing
- Parabolic Smoothing
- Tillson's Multiple Exponential Smoothing
- Tushar Chande's Smoothing Algorithm
- Perry Kaufman's Smoothing Algorithm
It is important to note that the 'phase' parameter's interpretation varies significantly across these smoothing algorithms. For JMA, the phase is an external variable ranging from -100 to +100. For T3, the phase represents a smoothing ratio multiplied by 100 for enhanced visualization. For Vidya, it refers to the CMO period, and for AMA, it denotes the slow EMA period. The fast EMA period for AMA is a fixed value of 2 by default, and the ratio of raising to the power is also set to 2 for AMA.
This indicator utilizes classes from the SmoothAlgorithms.mqh library. Ensure this library is copied to your terminal's MQL5 include directory (terminal_data_folder\mql5\include) for the indicator to function correctly.
