Seems nice, but many MAs look good and function very bad.
Have you backtested this trading strategy?

I haven't backtested it, because I've never created an EA out of it. But this is not a traditional MA. It's entirely custom indicator that resembles MAs somehow.

Hi,
I like very much this indicator, I encounter some troubles when it changeds the candle I have to refresh always the view to have the right representation.
Is there anything I can change in the code to ask for refresh at new period?

Should you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you

It refreshes with each new candle, not tick. There is no point for it to refresh with each new tick, since you'll get so many different values during one candle.

Hi Enivid,
thank you for your answer but unfortunately doesn't resolve my problem.
I haven't mentioned of refreshing at every tick, it would be useless for this indicator to do so, I have no refresh at period change, have a look at 1234.png that is the situation before period change and 1235.png is after the period change without manual refresh, and finally the 1236.png is after refresh on the current period (which is the correct representation).

This happens on all timeframes.

Can this help to understand?

There is any possibility to tell the indicator code to refresh at period change?

Let me know
Thank you
Have a nice day

Just remove this line from the code:
if (prevbars==Bars) return(0);

Hi Enivid,
this applies certainly to mq4, I haven't tried yet. What about mq5? I could not find it in the code.

Remove this line in mq5:
if (prev_calculated == rates_total) return(rates_total);
