What is Sidus?
Sidus overlays two EMA and two LWMA calculations on an MT5 chart. Colored arrow marks also appear around the calculated line relationships.
The lines and marks are based on the four selected moving-average periods and price source. They should be compared with completed candles and wider chart structure rather than treated as guaranteed instructions.
How to use Sidus
Review the fast and slow moving averages as separate calculations, then compare their spacing and slope with price. The chart marks should be read as part of that display rather than in isolation.
Fast and slow EMA periods, fast and slow LWMA periods, and Applied price make up the available Inputs.
Where it helps
Two EMA and two LWMA periods are available together.
Each moving-average type has independent fast and slow periods.
Applied price selects the calculation input.
