STIX Indicator – Momentum Oscillator with Noise Reduction
The STIX Indicator for MetaTrader 4 is a powerful oscillator designed to provide traders with a refined view of market momentum. Inspired by the Stochastic and RSI indicators, it uses dual-line plotting and smoothing techniques to reduce market noise, making trend shifts and momentum changes easier to identify. Its customizable settings allow traders to adapt it to different timeframes and trading strategies.
How It Works

When the main STIX line crosses above the smoothed line → bullish momentum (buy signal)
When the main STIX line crosses below the smoothed line → bearish momentum (sell signal)
Overbought/Oversold Zones:
Levels around 70 suggest overbought conditions
