Indicator Description

This is my first attempt at making an indicator. It's the Coral Trend Indicator and seems to work pretty well. I will try to create some more indicators later. Happy Pipping!

Comments

The indicator produces errors in the EA when compiled in MT4 . Once I remove the indicator form the strategy and replaced e with another one . The EA was running. Therefore I do not recommend the use of this indicator for EA strategies.
