Trend Candlesticks Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator

    The Trend Candlesticks MT4 forex indicator is an excellent technical tool for scalping and day trading pairs.

    The indicator displays colored buy/sell trend candlesticks on the Metatrader 4 chart.

    • A buy signal occurs when the candlestick is colored green.
    • A sell signal occurs when the candlestick is colored pink.

    In order to yield the best possible results with the Trend Candlesticks indicator, use it together with a longer period trend trading indicator.

    For instance, combine it with a 100 period simple moving average or 50 period exponential moving average.

    Trade in the direction of the overall trend.

    How it works?

    When the candlesticks are positioned above the longer term moving average, only trade the green candlesticks (buy trades).

    When the candlesticks are positioned below the longer term moving average, only trade the pink candlesticks (sell trades).
