Multi-Indicator

Multiple instruments, multiple time-frames and multiple indicators! The Multi-Indicator generates a one-page matrix of miniature charts (“mini-charts”) for multiple instruments, time-frames and technical indicators. This is an ideal way to display key technical information about a wide-range of instruments and time-frames on a single chart.

The multiple instruments can be selected from some pre-defined groups (e.g. forex majors, equity indices, USD forex pairs, etc.) or a custom selection list can be created.

The instruments are displayed in separate rows. Each row is then divided into several columns. Each column defines a time-frame (e.g. m5, m30, H1, D1, etc.), and one of a selection of standard technical indicators.

Currently the following list of standard technical indicators is supported: Simple Moving Average (MVA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), Stochastics Fast (SFK), Stochastics Slow (SSD), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Average True Range (ATR) and Directional Movement Index (DMI).

In addition price history can be displayed, either as a line chart (of close prices) or a bar chart (of high/low/close prices).

Parameters 

The following inputs are available in the indicator’s parameters window and can be defined by the app user:
