			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>IS the momentum logic functional?</p></blockquote></div><p>Yes, it is. Momentum is one of the simplest technical indicators and it is included in the core of the program since 2005. </p><p>Momentum calculates the difference between current price and a price n bars ago. It may smooth the calculated line if you provide an additional smoothing period.</p><p><a href="http://postimg.org/image/kt3g2hy2x/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://s28.postimg.org/kt3g2hy2x/screenshot_4.jpg" alt="http://s28.postimg.org/kt3g2hy2x/screenshot_4.jpg" /></span></a></p><p>You strategy doesn&#039;t open trades because the Momentum indicator never reaches 100 on your data chart.</p><p>On the other hand the Momentum implementation of MT is not standard. It oscillates around 100 instead of 0.<br />Forex Strategy Builder Professional provides this functionality with the Momentum MT indicator. It is practically the same, but its values are shifted with 100 units upwards.</p><p>If you want matching same visual expression in MT and in FSB, you can use Momentum MT indicator instead of Momentum.</p><p><a href="http://postimg.org/image/j2kf10gjt/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://s28.postimg.org/j2kf10gjt/screenshot_5.jpg" alt="http://s28.postimg.org/j2kf10gjt/screenshot_5.jpg" /></span></a></p><p>Momentum MT with Level = 100 may work as you expected. </p><p>Momentum MT with Level = 100 is equal to Momentum with Level = 0.</p><p>There is no explanation why MetaTrader desn&#039;t provide the standard Momentum indicator. </p><p>Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum_(technical_analysis)">Momentum (technical analysis)</a> <br />Formula: Mometum(t) = Close(t) - Close(t-n); </p><p>MetaTrader: <a href="http://ta.mql4.com/indicators/oscillators/momentum">Momentum</a><br />Formula: Mometum(t) = 100*Close(t)/Close(t-n);</p>]]></content>
