What is T3MA_ALARM?
T3MA_ALARM is an MT4 signal tool that calculates a moving average of a moving average to smooth the trend reading. The double smoothing delays the arrow slightly while reducing noise in the reading.
How to use T3MA_ALARM
Up and down arrows appear when the T3MA value on the current bar rises above the previous bar while that previous bar was below the one before it. Arrows update in real time, and past bars also carry filled-in arrows added to tidy the display.
