Awesome + Accelerator Histo (MTF) (MT4)
Awesome + Accelerator Histo (MTF) combines Bill Williams’ Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerator/Decelerator (AC) into a clean, color‑coded histogram, with multi‑timeframe (MTF) options and optional alerts. Read momentum vs acceleration, time zero‑line flips, pullbacks and trend continuations in MetaTrader 4.
What it shows
- AO (momentum relative to the 34‑period baseline) and AC (change in momentum) in one histogram panel.
- Zero line context, saucer/twin‑peaks style hooks, and color by slope/sign.
- (Optional) MTF overlay — plot higher‑TF AO/AC while trading lower TF.
- (Optional) arrows/alerts — zero‑crosses, slope flips, MTF alignment, and pattern triggers.
Trade ideas
- Flip + first pullback: after an AO zero‑line flip, take the first pullback where AC supports the direction (same‑color bars).
- MTF alignment: require HTF AO > 0 for longs (or < 0 for shorts), then use LTF AC green/red sequences to trigger.
- Saucer/twin‑peaks: classic AO patterns; confirm with AC acceleration and price structure (HH/HL or LL/LH).
- (Optional) Range reversion: when AO is flat around zero, fade exhausted pushes back to the mean; exit on fresh flip.
Inputs that matter
- AO/AC periods and smoothing — responsiveness vs stability.
- MTF timeframe — H1/H4/D1 overlay for regime filter.
- Alert set — zero crosses, slope flips, MTF alignment, pattern events.
- Colors/widths — fast visual read.
Suggested usage
- M5–M15: flip→pullback entries; AC as trigger.
- M30–H4: swing continuations with MTF confirmation.
- Daily+: bias/regime read and risk tilt.
