Upd Sep 22 2010: The bigger time frame version is added. See below in the download section.
The indicator is a port of TrendLaboratory’s MT4 VoltyStop.2.1 indicator published at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TrendLaboratory The classic recommendation is to Buy when VoltyChannel_Stop long signal appears over SMA. Sell when VoltyChannel_Stop short signal appears under SMA. (http://www.tradingsystemforex.com/exper … op-ea.html)

Hi,
What should the SMA value be?
Anyone has any experience to share using this system?
Thanks!
boursicoton · Fri Sep 17, 2010 3:23 pm
it’s a good indicator..marvellus work ! mtf indicator is possible ? thanks nikolay…. I think that the indicators of this style are the right tools … when we have candles in range, or Renko … we will have a certain advantage Stats!

Hi Dear
thanks for the great work, this indicator is very important to me.
as you know, this indicator is very helpful, so could you give me the original code about this indicator.
I will appreciate it for your great help
best regards
PS:my English is not good, hoping you are able to understand what I am writing down.

Is it possible to make a version of this that shows different time frames and what direction the trend is in? It’d be nice to have the arrows in the top right hand corner similar to the multi time frame stochastic indicator.
Apprentice · Tue Jan 31, 2012 3:57 am
I’ll arrange something similar soon.
