Hey fellow traders! Today, let’s dive into a fascinating tool that can give your trading strategy a serious boost: the ParMA indicator. This moving average indicator is built on a parabolic approximation of price, utilizing a pretty remarkable algorithm that smooths out price data effectively.
The heart of this indicator is the CParMA class from the SmoothAlgorithms.mqh library. If you're interested in the nitty-gritty, you can check out more details in the article "Averaging Price Series for Intermediate Calculations Without Using Additional Buffers".

- First, drop the smoothalgorithms.mqh library into your terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Include directory.
- Next, place the parma.mq5 indicator file into the terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Indicators folder.

Once you've done that, you'll be all set to take advantage of what ParMA has to offer. Happy trading!
