About The Trading Indicators

The RainbowMMA_05 and the RainbowMMA_08 custom indicators are the fifth and eighth GMMA forex series of eleven technical indicators largely dependent on the Guppy multi moving average.

The SpearmanRankCorr.ex4 custom indicator for MT4 was initially implemented from the field of statistics.

Charles Spearman, in 1904 was able to design a statistical gauge for the strength of association between two variables, which obviously became the basis of the rank correlation coefficient, and was named after its creator (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient).
