Release Notes
Candle Speed and Acceleration + MA FilterThis indicator expands on the original Candle Speed and Acceleration by adding new filtering options and flexibility for different markets.
🔹 What it does
Calculates candle speed (price movement per minute) and acceleration (change in speed over time).
Displays values in a real-time table.
Shows crosshair labels with speed & acceleration when hovering candles.
Prints permanent labels on candles when speed exceeds a user-defined threshold.
Supports alerts when speed breaks the threshold.
🔹 New Features (compared to the original)
Custom Speed Units
Choose between:
Points → for futures traders.
Pips → for Forex traders (auto-detects pip size: 0.0001 for most pairs, 0.01 for JPY pairs).
Dollars → for stock traders.
All labels, tables, and alerts now show the selected unit.
Moving Average Filter (Optional)
Add a customizable MA filter (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, VWMA).
Signals can be filtered so that:
Long signal → Candle exceeds threshold and closes above MA.
Short signal → Candle exceeds threshold and closes below MA.
MA is used internally for filtering; it is not plotted on the chart to reduce clutter.
Signals on Chart
Triangle markers show filtered long/short signals.
Works together with the permanent labels for easier visual confirmation.
Streamlined Settings
Removed unused tick size inputs.
Pip size is auto-detected → no extra inputs needed.
Cleaner settings panel.
🔹 How to use
Set your Speed Unit (Points / Pips / Dollars).
Define your Speed Threshold (e.g., 10 points, 15 pips, or 2 dollars).
(Optional) Enable the MA Filter and choose MA type and length.
Watch for:
Permanent Up/Down labels → unfiltered speed breakouts.
Triangle Long/Short signals → threshold + MA filter confirmation.
Alerts → can be enabled for automated notifications.
✅ This version keeps the original behavior for permanent labels (they always show when the threshold is exceeded), while adding extra filters and unit flexibility for more precise use in different markets.
