The Haos Visual Signal Generator indicator for Metatrader 4 is an advanced forex trading oscillator with great signals that work for any currency pair.
The Haos oscillator deploys two extreme values, -50 and 50.
- Above the zero line level, the trend is bullish
- Below the zero line level, the trend is bearish
The Haos Visual Signal Generator deploys different price histogram bar colors: blue, orange and green.
It also has a light brown signal line that fluctuates between the two extreme values.
The signal line can be used to buy on dips in an uptrend or to sell on rallies in a downtrend.
How it works?
For buy on dips: First and foremost, the price histogram bar has to be bullish (above the zero line). Then the light brown signal line crosses back above -50 from below. This creates a buy on dips signal.
For sell on dips: First and foremost, the price histogram bar has to be bearish (below the zero line). Then the light brown signal line crosses back below 50 from above. This creates a sell on rallies signal.
This indicator fits all trading styles including scalping, day trading and swing trading.

HAOS Visual Signal Generator + Brain Trend MT4 Scalping Strategy
This scalping strategy combines the HAOS Visual Signal Generator for MT4 and the Brain Trend Indicator for MT4.
The HAOS Visual Signal Generator provides clear short-term signals: initiate a buy trade when the histogram bars align above the zero line, and initiate a sell trade when the bars align below zero.
The Brain Trend Indicator confirms trend direction: a buy trend occurs when the price crosses and closes above red resistance dots, while a sell trend occurs when the price crosses and closes below blue support dots.
Using both indicators together ensures that trades are taken in the direction of short-term momentum while reducing false entries.
This strategy is best used on M1 and M5 charts, making it ideal for scalping during high-liquidity sessions.
By combining histogram-based momentum signals with trend confirmation, scalpers can identify high-probability entry points and capture small, consistent profits.
Buy Entry Rules
- HAOS Visual Signal histogram bars align above the zero line, indicating bullish momentum.
- Brain Trend price closes above the red resistance dots, confirming an upward trend.
- Enter a buy trade immediately after the confirming candle closes.
- Place a stop loss a few pips below the recent swing low or below the low of the entry candle.
- Take profit after a small fixed pip gain, typically 5–15 pips, or when either indicator signals a trend reversal.
Sell Entry Rules
- HAOS Visual Signal histogram bars align below the zero line, indicating bearish momentum.
- Brain Trend price closes below the blue support dots, confirming a downward trend.
- Enter a sell trade immediately after the confirming candle closes.
- Place a stop loss a few pips above the recent swing high or above the high of the entry candle.
- Take profit after a small fixed pip drop, typically 5–15 pips, or when either indicator signals a trend reversal.
Advantages
