Description
The histogram is based on the difference between the highest and lowest moving average out of the 3. The line is a level based on ATR that filters trading during sideways markets.
This indicator is a modified version of the one coded by kaneida84: https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/2717
The original indicator was coded in MQL4 by Robert Hill after attending a workshop that traded the 15 minutes timeframe.
