RMA

Daniel Bloch's Relative Moving Average framework, ported into a complete MetaTrader 5 system.

Companion code for the MQL5 article: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/23693

What it does

RMA measures a moving average against price relative to its own recent range, rather than reading a raw crossover. That normalisation is what lets the same thresholds mean the same thing across symbols and across volatility levels.

The port is a full system rather than a single indicator. The engine computes the curves, a regime detector reads them, a signal engine turns regimes into four distinct strategies, and a trade manager and adverse-move monitor sit between the signals and the account.

RMA_Engine.mq5 and RMA_Panel.mq5 are the chart side. RMA.mq5 is the Expert Advisor. The article reports Strategy Tester results for the four strategies.

Include/RMA/AdverseMonitor.mqh  adverse-move monitoring
Include/RMA/RmaDisplay.mqh      drawing helpers

Attach RMA_Engine.mq5 before the panel, since the panel reads its buffers.
