Flat Trend Metatrader 5 Forex Indicator

    The Flat Trend Metatrader 5 forex indicator is a custom tool that is based on two technical indicators i.e. Parabolic SAR and ADX.

    The indicator depicts market state within the indicator window via the use of color marks, based on the completeness of data delivered by both the ADX and Parabolic SAR.

    The indicator is quite able to quantify trend strength and also the direction of the trend.

    With a color scheme that well explains this, the Flat Trend indicator displays a green (DMI up, SAR up), yellow green (DMI up SAR down), orange (DMI down, SAR up), and red (DMI down, SAR down) colored marks to define the aforementioned attributes.
