Description & Settings
Length
(default = 10) — the period of the indicator. The higher is the value the more it lags but less false signals appear.
AppliedPrice
(default = PRICE_CLOSE) — price type to use in calculations.
Filter
(default = 0) — particularly useful parameter to filter out spikes without adding lag.
Deviation
(default = 0) — shifts indicator display vertically.
Shift
(default = 0) — shifts indicator display horizontally. The recommended strategy is to wait for 2 dots of the same color and enter the trade with the trend. Unfortunately, it sometimes fails. Using one dot signal with Filter parameter set to something like the currency pair's spread x 3 could be a better idea.
