This software component for MetaTrader 5 is built to enhance the capabilities of your trading environment. This technical indicator acts as a specialized analysis tool designed to visualize market data. It helps traders identify emerging trends, momentum shifts, and key support or resistance levels by plotting statistical calculations directly onto price charts.

Description & Settings
Corrected velocity indicator.
If the period of the "correction" is set to <0, then the calculated value is the same as the velocity.
Even though the velocity already does a good job of filtering a lot of false signals out, the "corrected" method moves that one further step forward. With a combination of floating levels, the choice of a "significant change" is not limited to zero crosses only, and the response (or the "expected lag") can be easily controlled.
Alerts are included already. Depending on color choice the alerts are triggered too. Possible color /alert choices are:
on outer level cross
on middle level cross
on slope change
on original velocity value cross (when "corrected" value is used as a kind of a signal line compared to original value)
Velocity is an indicator from momentum family, but with all the changes, "trending" usage should be considered too (the above example as a "larger picture" example).
