Fast Trend Line Momentum (FTLM) and Slow Trend Line Momentum (STLM) indicators show the rate of price change. FATL and SATL are calculated in a similar way to the indicator. The main components are: - FATL(bar) - FATL digital filter - RFTL(bar) - RFTL digital filter - SATL(bar) - SATL digital filter - RSTL(bar) - RSTL digital filter The coefficients of FATL and RFTL digital filters are used, as well as the coefficients of SATL and RSTL digital filters. The main difference between FTLM and the classic indicator is that it uses close prices processed by digital filters instead of close prices themselves. As a result, FTLM looks smoothed and regular, in contrast to the classic momentum technical indicator.Also recommended: Quantora Moving Average Dashboard MT5 - Professional EMA SMA Trend Analysis - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
