Discussion of article "Implementing the Janus factor in MQL5"

 

New article Implementing the Janus factor in MQL5 has been published:

Gary Anderson developed a method of market analysis based on a theory he dubbed the Janus Factor. The theory describes a set of indicators that can be used to reveal trends and assess market risk. In this article we will implement these tools in mql5.

Every trader knows that market prices follow one of two broad patterns. Prices either form trends or they move horizontally. As a result  of this, market participants' strategies can largely be reduced  to being either trend following  or contrarian to one extent or another. The Janus factor is a theory of market behaviour that captures this duality. In this article we will unpack its foundations and also demonstrate the implementation of indicators that facilitate this method of analysis.
