The Double TMA with Bands – Signals Edition v4.0 technical analysis tool is built for MetaTrader 5 combining two Triangular Moving Averages (TMA) with ATR-based reversal zones to help identify trend direction and potential turning points. It includes optional indicator visualization, multiple signal types, and flexible alerting to ensure you never miss the trade!
Notes from the Developer:
Major Features
- Seven signal types: (up from 4) continuation, reversal-zone, high-probability reversal, price/TMA crossover, full confluence, VolStop trend-flash, and TMA Fast/Slow crossover.
- VolStop trend engine: ATR-based trailing trend filter with its own signal family and confirmation bars.
Technical Improvements
- UI vs signal logic separated: TMA slope thresholds for line colors, epsilon bands for actual signal calculations.
- Slope sensitivity controls: per-line neutral-band epsilons plus optional hysteresis for enter vs exit thresholds.
- Anti-noise crossover engine: confirmation bars, minimum TMA separation, slope checks, and closed-bar-only options.
- ADX gating for confluence: ADX + DI+/DI− minimums for Type 5 high-probability signals.
- Per-type signal limiting: per-trend caps for each signal family with trend-based resets.
- Refined alerts and notifications: global and unit level toggles and limiters.
Core Concept
- Major Trend (TMA Slow): broad directional filter and main structure reference.
- Minor Trend (TMA Fast): responsive signal line for timing entries and minor trend shifts.
- ATR Reversal Zones: slow TMA bands (and optional extra bands) where price often reacts or exhausts.
- VolStop Trend Filter: ATR-based trailing line that defines active trend legs and flip points.
- Multi-Timeframe View: compact panels summarizing major and minor trend states across timeframes.
Key Features
- Seven entry signal families plus configurable exit / minor-trend-change signals.
- Optional Heikin Ashi and VolStop overlays for more comprehensive visual trend confirmation.
- Flexible slope controls with epsilon bands, hysteresis, and crossover persistence filters.
Input Parameters
TMA Slow Settings
TMA Slow | Input name | Default value | Description |
| Slow TMA Period | 200 | Major (slow) TMA period for the main trend. |
| TMA Slow Bands Smoothing Period | 300 | ATR smoothing period for slow TMA bands (higher = smoother bands, more lag). |

TMA Fast Settings
TMA Fast | Input name | Default value | Description |
| TMA Fast Period | 26 | Minor (fast) TMA period; acts as the signal line. |
