For instructions on how to install an indicator in MT4, see the article “Metatrader 4 Cheat sheet”. It is displayed on the chart as a channel formed by several lines:

To experiment with
the parameters, you need to know what they mean.Parameter PeriodsATR allows you to set the period of oscillator ATR. The degree of smoothness of the curves will depend on its value
on the chart.With the MA_Periods parameter, you can specify the period of the main
moving average (green).For choosing the type of averaging
the MA_type variable is used.Mult_Factor1, Mult_Factor2, and Mult_Factor3 parameters are used to set up the internal (blue lines), middle (blue lines), and outer (red lines) channels.Indicator, which is going on today
