Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is my indicator not showing? A: Verify the file is in the MQL/Indicators folder, or try right-clicking the "Indicators" tree in the Navigator and clicking "Refresh."
Q: Do custom indicators slow down the platform? A: Too many complex indicators can impact performance; remove unused ones via the "Indicator List" (Ctrl+I).
Q: Can I use MT4 indicators on MT5? A: No, MQL4 and MQL5 are distinct languages; ensure the indicator is compiled specifically for your platform version.

Ergodic DTI-Oscillator by William Blau
Calculation:
The Ergodic DTI-Oscillator is defined as follows:
where:
Ergodic_DTI() - Ergodic Line - Directional Trend Index DTI(q,r,s,u);
SignalLine() - Signal Line - EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic Line;
ul - smoothing period of a Signal Line.
Input parameters
:
graphic plot #0 - Ergodic Line (Directional Trend Index тренда):
q - number of bars, used in calculation of DTI (by default q=2);
r - period of the 1st EMA, applied to DTI (by default r=20);
s - period of the 2nd EMA, applied to result of the 1st smoothing (by default s=5);
u - period of the 3rd EMA, applied to result of the 2nd smoothing (by default u=3);
graphic plot #1 - Signal Line:
ul - smoothing period of a Signal Line - EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic (by default ul=3);
Notes:
q>0;
r>0, s>0, u>0. If r, s or u are equal to 1, smoothing is not used;
ul>0. If ul=1, the Signal Line and Ergodic Line are the same;
Min. rates = (q-1+r+s+u+ul-4+1).
