The Beginner Metatrader 5 forex indicator is a unique custom indicator that is deployed in showing the native highs and lows on the activity chart using magenta and dodger blue dots next to them.
The indicator analyzes the maximums and the minimums on a defined period and compares them with the range in which the forex pair has been traded.
If the pair experiences a relatively significant peak/trough, such a point gets marked.
The indicator utilizes just two variables within its inputs parameter:
Shift: set at a default value of 30, this variable represents the number of percentage that is taken off from the range before comparing the minimums and maximums to define their significance. The points will occur more frequently when higher values gets used.
Period: set at a default value of 9, this variable defines the calculation period of the maximum and minimums within a specified time frame. A higher value will imply less frequency of the points.
