The Idea Trend Metatrader 5 forex indicator is designed to define the trend direction threshold using histograms within the indicator window.
To do this the indicator has three input parameters:
Period – defines the period of calculation;
Method – defines the method of calculation;
Threshold – defines the threshold of the trend direction.
The formula that explains the IdeaTrend MT5 forex indicator is as follows:
Idea = (MAH – MAC) / (MAC – MAL)
where:
MAH = MA(High, Period, Method)
MAL = MA(Low, Period, Method)
MAC = MA(Close, Period, Method)
