Mrtoolz... this Waddah Attar Trend indicator is it just a MACD combined with Bollinger Bands in a Histogram forms? Because lookling at the original source code it seems to be just a MACD in Histogram form using a Bollinger Bands!! Or is there more to it?

I guess I would hope more detail about it....... because even the author would not bother to disclose what it's based on!!!

I notice this in the source code to the very bottom

                iMACD(NULL, 0, 20, 40, 9, PRICE_CLOSE, MODE_MAIN, i + 1)) / Point;

Yes it's a macd slope multiplied by the slope of the difference between the upper and lower Bollinger bands.
With this version added the averages,prices,and the extra stuff. The code is very similiar to the WAE just the histogram is different and without the extra lines. It's a very simple idea from
Mr Waddah Attar that seems like it could be profitable.

Dear Kvak! Is it possible to add a signal arrow when the green or red line cross the yellow line. I think the indicator will be more effective and really give a sign when the price moving significantly. Would be a good development. Thanks in advance
