Introdução

Este artigo é uma continuação do tópico sobre modelos prontos para usar indicadores em Expert Advisors. Já analisamos modelos para integrar indicadores osciladores e indicadores de volume e de Bill Williams aos Expert Advisors.
Hoje, vamos dar uma olhada na integração com EAs e no uso de indicadores de tendência. Os dados recuperados dos indicadores serão exibidos, como exemplo, no painel informativo, que criamos no primeiro artigo desta série.

A apresentação das informações neste artigo não será diferente da dos artigos anteriores: ele conterá uma breve visão geral de referência de cada indicador de tendência e códigos concisos para integrar e usar indicadores em Expert Advisors.

Para cada indicador, o artigo apresentará modelos prontos para serem usados em seus próprios programas:

Variáveis de entrada e globais.
Inicialização das variáveis e criação do handle do indicador.
Desinicialização.
Recuperação de dados no EA a partir do indicador.
Exemplo de exibição dos dados obtidos no painel informativo.

O artigo é de uso prático, pois permite copiar os códigos e colar em nossos próprios projetos.

Adaptive Moving Average

O indicador técnico média móvel adaptativa (Adaptive Moving Average, AMA) é usado para construir uma média móvel com baixa sensibilidade aos ruídos nas séries de preços e é caracterizado por um mínimo de atraso na deteçã da tendência. Este indicador foi desenvolvido e descrito por Perry Kaufman em seu livro "Smarter Trading".

Um dos defeitos de vários dos algoritmos de suavização de séries de preços é que picos aleatórios de preço podem resultar no aparecimento de sinais falsos de uma nova tendência. Por outro lado, a suavização leva a um inevitável atraso no sinal de parada ou reversão da tendência. Este indicador foi desenvolvido para superar esses dois defeitos.

Parâmetros

Para criar um handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iAMA():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Adaptive Moving Average. Apenas um buffer.

int  iAMA(
   string              symbol,             // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,             // period
   int                 ama_period,         // AMA period
   int                 fast_ma_period,     // fast Moving Average period
   int                 slow_ma_period,     // slow Moving Average period
   int                 ama_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price       // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ama_period

[in] Período de cálculo durante o qual o fator de eficiência é calculado.

fast_ma_period

[in] Período rápido para calcular o coeficiente de suavização em momentos de mercado rápido.

slow_ma_period

[in] Período lento para calcular o coeficiente de suavização na ausência de uma tendência.

ama_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Retorna o handle do indicador técnico especificado, em caso de falha retorna INVALID_HANDLE. A função IndicatorRelease() é usada para liberar a memória do computador do indicador que não é mais usado; o handle desse indicador é passado para ela.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

A enumeração ENUM_LINE_STATE foi criada para facilitar a obtenção do estado da linha do indicador — sua forma (figura) e localização em relação à linha de outro indicador, ou a algum nível.
Você pode ler mais sobre enumeração no na seção de parâmetros do indicador ATR incluída no artigo sobre indicadores osciladores.

Ao usar o painel informativo em um EA, também é necessário declarar variáveis globais e incluir o arquivo de classes do painel:

Inicialização

Configuramos os valores das variáveis globais para o indicador e criamos seu handle:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- create timer
   EventSetTimer(60);

//--- Indicator
//--- Set and adjust the calculation period and levels if necessary
   period=int(InpPeriod<1 ? 9 : InpPeriod);
   period_fast=int(InpPeriodFast<1 ? 2 : InpPeriodFast);
   period_slow=int(InpPeriodSlow<1 ? 30 : InpPeriodSlow);
//--- Set the indicator name and the number of decimal places
   ind_title=StringFormat("AMA(%lu,%lu,%lu)",period,period_fast,period_slow);
   ind_digits=Digits()+1;
//--- Create indicator handle
   ResetLastError();
   handle=iAMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,period,period_fast,period_slow,InpShift,InpPrice);
   if(handle==INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      PrintFormat("%s: Failed to create indicator handle %s. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,ind_title,GetLastError());
      return INIT_FAILED;
     }

//--- Successful initialization
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

Ao usar o painel informativo no EA, criamos o painel:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- create timer
   EventSetTimer(60);

//--- Indicator
//--- Set and adjust the calculation period and levels if necessary
   period=int(InpPeriod<1 ? 9 : InpPeriod);
   period_fast=int(InpPeriodFast<1 ? 2 : InpPeriodFast);
   period_slow=int(InpPeriodSlow<1 ? 30 : InpPeriodSlow);
//--- Set the indicator name and the number of decimal places
   ind_title=StringFormat("AMA(%lu,%lu,%lu)",period,period_fast,period_slow);
   ind_digits=Digits()+1;
//--- Create indicator handle
   ResetLastError();
   handle=iAMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,period,period_fast,period_slow,InpShift,InpPrice);
   if(handle==INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      PrintFormat("%s: Failed to create indicator handle %s. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,ind_title,GetLastError());
      return INIT_FAILED;
     }

//--- Dashboard
//--- Create the panel
   panel=new CDashboard(1,20,20,197,225);
   if(panel==NULL)
     {
      Print("Error. Failed to create panel object");
      return INIT_FAILED;
     }
//--- Set font parameters
   panel.SetFontParams("Calibri",9);
//--- Display the panel with the "Symbol, Timeframe description" header text
   panel.View(Symbol()+", "+StringSubstr(EnumToString(Period()),7));
//--- Create a table with ID 0 to display bar data in it
   panel.CreateNewTable(0);
//--- Draw a table with ID 0 on the panel background
   panel.DrawGrid(0,2,20,6,2,18,96);

//--- Create a table with ID 1 to display indicator data in it
   panel.CreateNewTable(1);
//--- Get the Y2 table coordinate with ID 0 and
//--- set the Y1 coordinate for the table with ID 1
   int y1=panel.TableY2(0)+22;
//--- Draw a table with ID 1 on the panel background
   panel.DrawGrid(1,2,y1,3,2,18,96);
   
//--- Display tabular data in the journal
   panel.GridPrint(0,2);
   panel.GridPrint(1,2);
//--- Initialize the variable with the index of the mouse cursor bar
   mouse_bar_index=0;
//--- Display the data of the current bar on the panel
   DrawData(mouse_bar_index,TimeCurrent());

//--- Successful initialization
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

Desinicialização

No manipulador OnDeinit() do EA, liberamos o handle do indicador:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
  }

Ao usar o painel informativo, removemos o objeto do painel criado:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
   
//--- If the panel object exists, delete it
   if(panel!=NULL)
      delete panel;
  }

        {
         //--- write the bar index where the cursor is located to a global variable
         mouse_bar_index=iBarShift(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,time);
         //--- Display the bar data under the cursor on the panel 
         DrawData(mouse_bar_index,time);
        }
     }

//--- If we received a custom event, display the appropriate message in the journal
   if(id>CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM)
     {
      //--- Here we can implement handling a click on the close button on the panel
      PrintFormat("%s: Event id=%ld, object id (lparam): %lu, event message (sparam): %s",__FUNCTION__,id,lparam,sparam);
     }
  }

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

O arquivo do EA de teste "TestVolumeAD.mq5" pode ser consultado nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.

Average Directional Movement Index

O indicador técnico índice médio de movimento direcional (Average Directional Movement Index, ADX) ajuda a determinar a presença de uma tendência de preços. Ele foi desenvolvido e descrito em detalhes por Welles Wilder em seu livro "New concepts in technical trading systems".

O método mais simples de negociação com base no sistema de movimento direcional implica na comparação de dois indicadores de direção: o +DI de período 14 e o -DI de período 14. Para isso, ou os gráficos dos indicadores são sobrepostos, ou o +DI é subtraído do -DI. W. Wilder recomenda comprar quando o +DI é superior ao -DI, e vender quando +DI é inferior ao -DI.

W. Wilder também complementa estas simples regras de negociação com o "princípio de pontos extremos". Ela é usada para eliminar sinais falsos e diminuir o número de transações realizadas. De acordo com o princípio de pontos extremow, o "ponto extremo" é o ponto quando +DI e -DI se cruzam. Se o +DI é maior que o -DI, este ponto será o preço máximo do dia, quando eles se cruzarem. Se o +DI é inferior ao -DI, este ponto será o preço mínimo do dia quando eles se cruzarem.

O ponto de extremo é usado então como referência de entrada no mercado. Assim, após o sinal de compra (+DI é maior do que -DI), deve-se esperar até o preço exceder o ponto extremo antes de comprar. No entanto, se o preço não ultrapassar o nível do ponto de extremo, deve-se manter a posição curta.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iADX():

Desinicialização

No manipulador OnDeinit() do EA, liberamos o handle do indicador:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer

Average Directional Movement Index Wilder

O indicador técnico índice médio de movimento direcional Wilder (Average Directional Movement Index Wilder, ADX Wilder) ajuda a determinar a presença de uma tendência de preços. Este indicador técnico é construído com uma rígida correspondência com o algoritmo descrito por Welles Wilder em seu livro "New concepts in technical trading systems".

As regras de negociação para esse indicador estão descritas na seção Average Directional Movement Index".

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iADXWilder():

Return the handle of the Average Directional Movement Index by Welles Wilder.

int  iADXWilder(
   string           symbol,         // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period,         // period
   int              adx_period      // averaging period
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

adx_period

[in] Período para cálculo do índice.

Números dos buffers: 0 — MAIN_LINE, 1 — PLUSDI_LINE, 2 — MINUSDI_LINE.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Bollinger Bands®

Bandas de Bollinger (Bollinger Bands, BB) são semelhantes aos Envelopes. A diferença entre elas reside no fato de que os limites dos Envelopes estão localizadas acima e abaixo da curva da média móvel a uma distância fixa, expressa em porcentagem, enquanto os limites das Bandas de Bollinger são construídos a distâncias iguais a um certo número de desvios padrão. Como o valor do desvio padrão depende da volatilidade, as bandas ajustam sua largura: ela aumenta quando o mercado é instável e diminui em períodos mais estáveis.

As Bandas de Bollinger são geralmente aplicadas ao gráfico de preços, mas também podem ser aplicadas ao gráfico de um indicador. Assim como com os Envelopes, a interpretação das Bandas de Bollinger é baseada na tendência de os preços permanecerem dentro dos limites das bandas superior e inferior. Uma característica distintiva das Bandas de Bollinger é sua largura variável, que é determinada pela volatilidade dos preços. Em períodos de mudanças significativas de preços (ou seja, alta volatilidade), as bandas se expandem, dando espaço aos preços. Em períodos de estagnação (ou seja, baixa volatilidade), as bandas se estreitam, mantendo os preços dentro de seus limites.

Entre as características deste indicador, podemos incluir:

mudanças abruptas nos preços, que geralmente ocorrem após o estreitamento da banda, correspondendo a uma diminuição da volatilidade;
se os preços ultrapassarem os limites da banda, espera-se a continuação da tendência atual;
se picos e vales fora das bandas são seguidos por picos e vales dentro das bandas, pode-se prever uma reversão da tendência;
o movimento dos preços, que começa de um dos limites da banda, geralmente atinge o limite oposto.

Essa última observação é útil para prever metas de preço.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é usada a função iBands():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Bollinger Bands®.

int  iBands(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 bands_period,      // central line calculation period
   int                 bands_shift,       // horizontal shift of the indicator
   double              deviation,         // number of standard deviations
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

bands_period

[in] Período de média da linha principal do indicador.

bands_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

deviation

[in] Desvio da linha principal.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Números dos buffers: 0 — BASE_LINE, 1 — UPPER_BAND, 2 — LOWER_BAND

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

Double Exponential Moving Average

O indicador técnico média móvel exponencial dupla (Double Exponential Moving Average, DEMA) foi desenvolvido por Patrick Mulloy, e foi publicado em Fevereiro de 1994 na revista "Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities". Ele é usado para suavizar uma série de preços, e é inserido diretamente no gráfico de preços do ativo. Além disso, ele pode ser usado para suavizar os valores de outros indicadores.

A vantagem deste indicador é que ele elimina sinais falsos no movimento de preços que parecem dentes de serra, alem de permitir manter uma posição em uma forte tendência.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iDEMA():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Double Exponential Moving Average. Apenas um buffer.

int  iDEMA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ma_period

[in] Período (número de barras) para o cálculo do indicador.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Envelopes

O indicador técnico Envelopes é formado por duas médias móveis, uma das quais é deslocada para cima, e a outra é deslocada para baixo. A escolha do tamanho ideal do deslocamento relativo das bordas da banda é determinada pela volatilidade do mercado: quanto maior ela for, maior será o deslocamento.

Um sinal de venda aparece quando o preço atinge o limite superior da banda; um sinal de compra aparece quando o preço atinge o limite inferior. O sinal de venda ocorre quando o preço atinge o limite superior da banda, e o sinal de compra ocorre quando ele atinge o limite inferior.

A lógica por trás dos envelopes é que os compradores e vendedores com excesso de zelo empurram o preço para os extremos (ou seja, os limites superior e inferior), altura em que os preços muitas vezes estabilizam, movendo-se para níveis mais realistas. O mesmo princípio é usado na interpretação do Bollinger Bands® (BB).

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iEnvelopes():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Envelopes.

int  iEnvelopes(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // central line calculation period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_MA_METHOD      ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price,     // price type or handle
   double              deviation          // deviation of channel borders from the central line
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ma_period

[in] Período de média da linha principal do indicador.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

ma_method

[in] Método de média. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_MA_METHOD.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

deviation

[in] Desvio da linha principal em porcentagem.

Números dos buffers: 0 — UPPER_LINE, 1 — LOWER_LINE.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

Fractal Adaptive Moving Average

O Indicador Técnico Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) foi desenvolvido por John Ehlers. Este indicador é construído baseado no algoritmo do Exponential Moving Average, em que o fator de suavização é calculado com base na dimensão fractal atual da série de preços. A vantagem do indicador FRAMA é sua capacidade de acompanhar movimentos de tendências fortes e de desacelerar muito fortemente em momentos de consolidação de preços.

Todos os tipos de análises usados para médias são aplicáveis a esse indicador.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iFrAMA():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Fractal Adaptive Moving Average. Apenas um buffer.

int  iFrAMA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ma_period

[in] Período (número de barras) para o cálculo do indicador.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

O arquivo do EA de teste "TestTrendFRAMA.mq5" pode ser consultado nos arquivos anexados ao artigo.

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo

O indicador técnico Ichimoku Kinko Hyo é pré-definido para caracterizar a tendência do mercado, os níveis de resistência e suporte, e para gerar sinais de compra e venda. Este indicador funciona melhor em gráficos semanais e diários.

Quatro intervalos de tempo de diferentes durações são usados para determinar a dimensionalidade dos parâmetros. Os valores das linhas individuais que compõem este indicador são baseados nestes intervalos:

Tenkan-sen mostra o valor médio do preço durante o primeiro intervalo de tempo, definido como a soma do máximo e do mínimo dentro deste intervalo, dividido por dois;
Kijun-sen mostra o valor médio do preço durante o segundo intervalo de tempo;
Senkou Span A mostra a média da distância entre as duas linhas anteriores, deslocado para a frente pelo valor do segundo intervalo de tempo;
Senkou Span B mostra o valor médio do preço durante o terceiro intervalo de tempo, deslocado para a frente com base no valor do segundo intervalo de tempo.

Chikou Span mostra o preço de fechamento da vela atual deslocado para trás com base no valor do segundo intervalo de tempo. A distância entre as linhas Senkou é tracejada com uma outra cor, e esta distância é chamada de "nuvem" ("cloud"). Se o preço estiver entre estas linhas, o mercado deve ser considerado como fora de tendência, e assim as margens da nuvem formam os níveis de suporte e resistência.

Se o preço estiver acima da nuvem, a sua linha superior forma o primeiro nível de suporte, e a segunda linha forma o segundo nível de suporte;
Se o preço estiver abaixo da nuvem, a sua linha inferior forma o primeiro nível de resistência, e a segunda linha forma o segundo nível de resistência;
Se a linha de Chikou Span atravessa o gráfico de preços no sentido de baixo para cima, significa um sinal de compra. Se a linha de Chikou Span atravessa o gráfico de preços no sentido de cima para baixo, significa um sinal de venda.

Kijun-sen é utilizado como um indicador do movimento do mercado. Se o preço for superior a este indicador, os preços provavelmente continuarão a subir. Quando os preços atravessam esta linha, é possível acontecer uma mudança adiante na tendência. Kijun-sen também é usado para dar sinais. Um sinal de compra é gerado quando as linhas de Tenkan-sen atravessam o Kijun-sen no sentido de baixo para cima. O cruzamento de cima para baixo é um sinal de venda. Tenkan-sen é utilizado como um indicador da tendência do mercado. Se essa linha aumenta ou diminui, então, existe uma tendência. Quando segue horizontalmente, significa que o mercado entrou no canal.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iIchimoku():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.

int  iIchimoku(
   string           symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period,            // period
   int              tenkan_sen,        // Tenkan-sen period
   int              kijun_sen,         // Kijun-sen period
   int              senkou_span_b      // Senkou Span B period
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

tenkan_sen

[in] Período médio Tenkan Sen.

kijun_sen

[in] Período médio de Kijun Sen.

senkou_span_b

[in] Período médio Senkou Span B.

Números dos buffers: 0 — TENKANSEN_LINE, 1 — KIJUNSEN_LINE, 2 — SENKOUSPANA_LINE, 3 — SENKOUSPANB_LINE, 4 — CHIKOUSPAN_LINE.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Moving Average

O indicador técnico média móvel (Moving Average, MA) mostra o valor médio do preço de um instrumento por um determinado período de tempo. Ao calcular a média móvel, é realizada a média matemática do preço do instrumento em um determinado período. À medida que o preço muda, seu valor médio pode aumentar ou diminuir.

Existem vários tipos de médias móveis: simples (também chamada de aritmética), exponencial, suavizada e ponderada. A média móvel pode ser calculada para qualquer conjunto sequencial de dados, incluindo preços de abertura e fechamento, preços máximos e mínimos, volume de negociação ou valores de outros indicadores. Muitas vezes, são utilizadas médias móveis das próprias médias móveis.

A única diferença significativa entre os diferentes tipos de média móvel é a atribuição de diferentes coeficientes de peso aos dados mais recentes. No caso da média móvel simples (Simple Moving Average), todos os preços do período considerado têm o mesmo peso. As médias móveis exponencial e ponderada (Exponential Moving Average e Linear Weighted Moving Average) dão mais importância aos preços mais recentes.

A forma mais comum de interpretar a média móvel de preços consiste em comparar sua dinâmica com a dinâmica do próprio preço. Quando o preço de um instrumento sobe acima do valor da média móvel, surge um sinal de compra; quando cai abaixo da linha do indicador, um sinal de venda.

Este sistema de negociação com a média móvel não visa garantir a entrada no mercado exatamente no seu ponto mais baixo e a saída no ponto mais alto. Ele permite agir de acordo com a tendência atual: comprar logo após os preços atingirem o fundo e vender logo após a formação do pico.

As médias móveis também podem ser aplicadas aos indicadores. Neste caso, a interpretação das médias móveis dos indicadores é semelhante à interpretação das médias móveis dos preços: se um indicador sobe acima de sua média móvel, isso significa que a tendência ascendente do indicador continuará; se cai abaixo da média móvel, indica a continuação de sua tendência de queda.

Aqui estão os tipos de médias móveis:

Simple Moving Average (SMA) — média móvel simples
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) — média móvel exponencial
Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA) — média móvel suavizada
Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA) — média móvel ponderada linear

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iMA():

Return moving average indicator handle. Only one buffer.

int  iMA(
   string               symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES      period,            // period
   int                  ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                  ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_MA_METHOD       ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE   applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ma_period

[in] Período de cálculo da média para calcular a média móvel.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

ma_method

[in] Método de média. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores de ENUM_MA_METHOD.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Parabolic SAR Setting

O indicador técnico sistema parabólico SAR (Parabolic SAR) foi desenvolvido para analisar mercados em tendência. O indicador é construído no gráfico de preços. Em sua essência, este indicador é semelhante à média móvel, com a diferença de que o Parabolic SAR se move com maior aceleração e pode mudar sua posição em relação ao preço. Em uma "tendência de alta" (Up Trend), o indicador se situa abaixo dos preços; em uma "tendência de baixa" (Down Trend), fica acima.

Se o preço cruzar a linha do Parabolic SAR, ocorre uma reversão do indicador, e seus valores subsequentes são posicionados do outro lado do preço. Nessa "reversão" do indicador, o ponto de partida será o preço máximo ou mínimo do período anterior. A reversão do indicador é um sinal de que a tendência pode estar terminando (entrando em correção ou lateralização) ou se revertendo.

O Parabolic SAR é excelente para determinar pontos de saída do mercado. Posições longas devem ser fechadas quando o preço cai abaixo da linha do indicador técnico, e posições curtas, quando o preço sobe acima da linha do Parabolic SAR. Ou seja, é necessário acompanhar a direção do movimento do Parabolic SAR e manter posições abertas no mercado apenas na direção desse movimento. Este indicador é frequentemente usado como uma linha de stop móvel (trailing stop).

Se uma posição longa está aberta (ou seja, o preço está acima da linha do Parabolic SAR), a linha do indicador moverá para cima, independentemente da direção em que os preços estão se movendo. A magnitude do movimento da linha do Parabolic SAR depende da magnitude do movimento do preço.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iSAR():

Retorna o identificador do indicador do sistema Parabolic Stop and Reverse. Apenas um buffer.

int  iSAR(
   string           symbol,      // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES  period,      // period
   double           step,        // price change step — acceleration factor
   double           maximum      // maximum step
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

step

[in] Passo da mudança de preço, geralmente 0,02.

maximum

[in] Passo máximo, geralmente 0,2.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Standard Deviation

O indicador técnico desvio padrão (Standard Deviation, StdDev) mede a volatilidade do mercado. Este indicador caracteriza o tamanho das flutuações do preço em relação à média móvel. Assim, se o valor do indicador é grande, então o mercado é volátil e os preços das barras estão bastante dispersos em relação à média móvel. Se o valor do indicador é pequeno, o mercado é caracterizado por baixa volatilidade e os preços das barras estão bastante próximos à média móvel.

Normalmente, este indicador é usado como parte de outros indicadores. Por exemplo, no cálculo das Bandas de Bollinger, o valor do desvio padrão do instrumento é adicionado à sua média móvel.

A dinâmica do mercado consiste na alternância sequencial de períodos de calma e surtos de atividade, por isso a abordagem a este indicador é simples:

se o valor do indicador é muito baixo, ou seja, o mercado está completamente em repouso, então faz sentido esperar por um próximo surto de atividade;
por outro lado, se o indicador é extremamente alto, significa que, provavelmente, essa atividade em breve diminuirá.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iStdDev():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Standard Deviation. Apenas um buffer.

int  iStdDev(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_MA_METHOD      ma_method,         // smoothing type
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ma_period

[in] Período de média para calcular o indicador.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

ma_method

[in] Método de média. Pode ser qualquer um dos valores de ENUM_MA_METHOD.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Após a compilação e execução do EA no gráfico, podemos monitorar o valor e o estado da linha do indicador no painel informativo:

Triple Exponential Moving Average

O indicador técnico média móvel exponencial tripla (TEMA) foi desenvolvido por Patrick Mulloy e publicado na revista Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities. O princípio do seu cálculo é o mesmo do indicador DEMA (média móvel exponencial dupla). O nome "suavização exponencial tripla" não reflete inteiramente o algoritmo embutido nela. É uma combinação única de uma, dupla e tripla média móvel exponencial, proporcionando menos atraso do que cada uma delas individualmente.

O indicador TEMA pode ser usado no lugar das médias móveis tradicionais. Ele pode ser utilizado para suavizar os dados de preços e também para suavizar outros indicadores.

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iTEMA():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Triple Exponential Moving Average. Apenas um buffer.

int  iTEMA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 ma_period,         // averaging period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

ma_period

[in] Período (número de barras) para o cálculo do indicador.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Variable Index Dynamic Average

O indicador técnico média móvel com período de média dinâmica variável (Variable Index Dynamic Average, VIDYA) foi desenvolvido por Tushar Chande e representa uma metodologia original de cálculo da média móvel exponencial (EMA) com um período de média que muda dinamicamente. O período de média depende da volatilidade do mercado, usando o oscilador Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) como medida de volatilidade. Este oscilador mede a relação entre a soma dos incrementos positivos e a soma dos incrementos negativos por um determinado período (período do CMO). O valor do CMO é usado como um coeficiente para o fator de suavização da EMA. Assim, o indicador VIDYA tem dois parâmetros de ajuste: o período do oscilador CMO e o período de suavização da média móvel exponencial (período EMA).

Parâmetros

Para criar o handle do indicador, é utilizada a função iVIDyA():

Retorna o identificador do indicador Variable Index Dynamic Average. Apenas um buffer.

int  iVIDyA(
   string              symbol,            // symbol name
   ENUM_TIMEFRAMES     period,            // period
   int                 cmo_period,        // Chande Momentum period
   int                 ema_period,        // smoothing factor period
   int                 ma_shift,          // horizontal shift of the indicator
   ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE  applied_price      // price type or handle
   );

symbol

[in] Nome simbólico do instrumento cujos dados serão usados para calcular o indicador. NULL representa o símbolo atual.

period

[in] O valor do período pode ser um dos valores da enumeração ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, 0 representa o timeframe atual.

cmo_period

[in] Período (número de barras) para o cálculo do oscilador Chande Momentum.

ema_period

[in] Período (número de barras) da EMA para calcular o fator de suavização.

ma_shift

[in] Deslocamento do indicador em relação ao gráfico de preços.

applied_price

[in] Preço aplicado. Pode ser qualquer uma das constantes de preço de ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE ou o identificador de outro indicador.

Para criar o indicador em um EA, declararemos variáveis de entrada e variáveis globais:

Desinicialização

No manipulador OnDeinit() do EA, liberamos o handle do indicador:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert deinitialization function                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
//--- destroy timer
   EventKillTimer();
   
//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
  }

Ao usar o painel informativo, removemos o objeto do painel criado:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//--- Release handle of the indicator
   ResetLastError();
   if(!IndicatorRelease(handle))
      PrintFormat("%s: IndicatorRelease failed. Error %ld",__FUNCTION__,GetLastError());
//--- Clear all comments on the chart
   Comment("");
   
//--- If the panel object exists, delete it
   if(panel!=NULL)
      delete panel;

Considerações finais

Examinamos todos os tipos de indicadores técnicos disponíveis no terminal MetaTrader 5, sua integração com indicadores e Expert Advisors, bem como a recuperação de dados. Resta entrar na questão de como usar indicadores com vários símbolos/períodos em Expert Advisors e indicadores. Dedicaremos o próximo artigo à criação de um conjunto de ferramentas para integrar indicadores multissímbolos e multiperíodos a Expert Advisors e indicadores, recebendo dados e sinais deles.

Todos os códigos apresentados acima podem ser simplesmente copiados por você mesmo "como estão" diretamente do artigo e usados em seus próprios projetos. Você pode encontrar todos os Expert Advisors de teste apresentados nos arquivos anexos.

Rede neural na prática: Reta Secante

Como foi explicado na parte teórica. Precisamos usar regressões lineares e derivadas, quando o assunto é rede neural. Mas por que ?!?! O motivo disto, é que a regressão linear é uma das fórmulas mais simples que existe. Basicamente uma regressão linear, é apenas uma função afim. Porém quando falamos em rede neural, não estamos interessados na reta, que a regressão linear cria. Estamos interessados é na equação que gera tal reta. A reta gerada pouco importa. Mas você sabe qual é a equação principal a ser compreendida ?!?! Se não veja este artigo para começar a entender.
