Float
Float MetaTrader indicator — a sophisticated indicator that analyzes the previous chart history for the
given currency pair and then tries to analyze the trends in the current situation. It shows where trends start
and end in a separate chart window and Fibonacci retracement levels combined with DiNapoli levels on the
main chart. It also displays how long ago the local high and low were detected. This indicator is available
for MT4 and MT5.
The indicator repaints its levels based on all the bars it analyzes (200 by default). This means that you
cannot use its detections of new peaks or troughs as trading signals as they will be revised based on how
market situation develops further. This indicator should be used only for the analysis of trend swing
durations and important chart levels.
Input parameters
Float (default = 200) — the number of bars to process for trend analysis. The lower is the number
means more up-to-date data but less accurate analysis.
ObjectPrefix (default = "FI-") — prefix for chart objects for compatibility with other indicators.
DisableDinapoli (default = false) — if true, then DiNapoli levels won't be drawn in the main chart
window.
DisableFibonacci (default = false) — if true, then Fibonacci levels won't be drawn in the main chart
window.
DrawVerticalLinesAsBackground (default = false) — if true, vertical lines for trend start and end will be
set as chart background to avoid concealing the chart itself.
