1-2-3 Patterns Indicator for Metatrader 4

The 1-2-3 pattern is a classic trend reversal price formation that occurs in all markets and can be observed in any time frame. It has stood the test of time thanks to its reliability, which is high compared to other chart price patterns. In fact, many trading strategies today are based on this chart pattern.

However, as with all price formations, the problem is learning to spot 1-2-3 patterns on the price charts, which is not easy for beginning traders due to their lack of experience. Also, most traders don’t want to spend their hours watching price charts. I think this is one of the main reasons why pattern-based strategies don’t work for many traders.

For that reason, we include a free custom indicator for Metatrader 4, which shows 1-2-3 bullish and bearish patterns on any price chart and in any time frame. This tool saves the trader a lot of time and works as they do not have to find the patterns on their own.

Three Line Break Indicator for Metatrader 4

Line Break Chart for MT4

Three Line Break charts were invented in Japan and are similar to Renko and Point & Figure charts. One trader from Japan described Three Line Break charts as a “more subtle form of Point & Figures charts, where reversals of price direction are decided by the market and not by arbitrary rules”. One of the most notable features of these charts is that they are time-blind and only change when closing prices move by a certain number of points higher or lower.

These charts show a series of vertical lines (or “blocks”) of varying size (Renko charts uses a fixed block size). Green blocks (traditionally white) represent rising prices, while red blocks (traditionally black) portraying falling prices. The blocks continue in the same direction until a price reversal is warranted.

Free Scalping Indicator for Metatrader 4

Free scalping indicator example

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

Example of Forexoma indicator

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

Mcginley Dynamic Indicator for MT4

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

MACD Divergences Indicator

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

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.
