The AMA Bands Forex indicator was built for Metatrader 4 and follows the trend with the help of a colored arrow bands system.
It looks a bit similar to the Bollinger Bands indicator but this indicator uses the AMA formula.
Key Points:
- A blue colored AMA arrow represents a buy signal.
- A red colored AMA arrow represents a sell signal.
Overall, the indicator works very well in a trending environment.
The indicator works on a wide range of trading instruments (Forex, CFD stocks, Indices, Cryptocurrencies, Commodities,..).
