Many traders faced challenges using the standard Braintrend1 (BT1), as it often produced false signals. To address this, filters and additional indicators were employed. This indicator resolves the issue by utilizing JMA smoothing of the price time series in its calculation.
The indicator's stability has improved significantly. JMA smoothing effectively reduces false signals, treating such intervals as flat. The system's sensitivity to market volatility can be adjusted using the "length_" parameter. Compared to the traditional BT1, this enhanced indicator is a more dependable system, even qualifying as a trend-tracking system.
Ensure the JMA.mq5 indicator compiled file is placed in the MQL5\indicators directory.
