Center of Gravity Extended Indicator for MT5

 

The Center of Gravity Extended Metatrader 5 forex indicator is an extended version of the default Center of Gravity indicator, hence its name.

This version adopts a correction in its calculation that allows the use of a significant price level.

As a result of this modification, 3 color schemes are added within the inputs parameter:

• Change color on signal / trigger line cross (the default)
• Change color on zero line cross
• Change color on slope change

Depending on your trading preference (via tweaking of the color change method), the use of the color change as an alert trigger can be adopted.
