What is TMA MTF?
TMA MTF is an MT4 band indicator supplied with daily and four-hour context. Its TimeFrame input is shown as H4 in the source settings, while TMAPeriod is 50.
The overlay combines a center line with ATR-based band width. ATRMultiplier 2.5, ATRPeriod 500, TrendThreshold 0.4, and the optional ShowCenterLine configure the display.
