Free Scalping Indicator for Metatrader 4

Introduction

Scalping is a very popular trading style because it allows obtaining multiple profits with short-term trades and can be used in practically any asset and financial instrument. Likewise, it does not require a deep knowledge of fundamental analysis (although it is always convenient to take these events into account) or technical analysis. In fact, many scalping trading systems are based on relatively simple approaches.

Scalping is applied in short-term time frames in which micro trends are formed that last a few minutes and require fast entries and exits. For this reason, scalping is not for traders who prefer to perform long-term trades that generate hundreds and even thousands of pips of profit, which in fact appear only a few times a month.

Modified Indicator Forexorama – MACD For MT4

by rcanessa

The Forexoma-MACD is a modified indicator designed for the Metatrader 4 platform which is based on the MACD technical indicator. It was designed to be easier to read for the trader, as standard MACD signals can be somewhat complex for the beginner trader. In addition, it is designed to detect trend changes earlier as we will see later. It is a color-coded indicator which changes its color as soon as the analyzed asset changes trend.

This allows traders to detect the market trend much earlier than they could with the conventional MACD on the MT4 platform. The Forexoma-MACD actually works as a histogram whose bars change their color according to the current trend. Using the conventional MACD indicator on some occasions can cause traders to open their positions in the market when most of the price momentum is diminishing. This causes the trader to lose valuable pips of profit that could be obtained if he opens his positions earlier.

Mcginley Dynamic Indicator For Metatrader 4

by rcanessa

The Mcginley Dynamic Forex indicator for the Metatrader 4 platform is an indicator based on moving averages that have a smoothing factor to reduce false signals.

Its trading signals are very simple:

If the price action is above the Mcginley indicator: look for possible buy signals.
If the price action is below the Mcginley indicator: look for possible sell signals

The indicator settings (period, smoothing factor) can be changed directly from the indicator settings tab.

As with any technical analysis tool, it is not recommended to use this moving average as the sole criterion for analyzing and opening positions in the market. Use it in conjunction with an oscillator type indicator (such as the MACD, or the stochastic oscillator) to build a complete trading system.

MACD Divergence Indicator for Metatrader 4

by rcanessa

In this article, we are going to present another technical indicator designed for the Metatrader 4 platform, which shows divergences between the price and the MACD indicator both in the price chart and in the indicator window. That is, it signals the times when the price is moving in one direction and the MACD is moving in the opposite direction. Trading with divergences between price and indicator is a popular way to use the MACD and other oscillator-type indicators, such as RSI, CCI, and Stochastic Oscillator.

Basically, divergences occur when the price moves in one direction and the indicator moves in another, that is, they start to diverge. In the case of the MACD, which is an indicator of price momentum, a divergence may indicate that market momentum is starting to change and therefore the price may start to move in the opposite direction at any time. We can distinguish two basic types of divergences between price and MACD:

FRAMA Moving Average Indicator For Metatrader 4

by rcanessa

The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) is a technical indicator developed by John Eulers. It is not as well known as the simple moving average (SMA) and other common types of moving averages, but it does have some interesting features.

This moving average is constructed based on the EMA (Exponential Moving Average) algorithm, in such a way that the smoothing factor is calculated based on the current fractal dimension of the price series. The advantage of FRAMA over other moving averages is that it can follow strong trend movements but at the same time is able to react more slowly in periods of market consolidation.

All types of analysis with moving averages can be used with this indicator. Additionally, the FRAMA moving average can be used in the same trading strategies that traditional moving averages are normally used, including strategies based on moving average crossovers.
