FAQ
What does a 90% reading on the dashboard signify?
A reading of 90% or higher indicates an extreme imbalance in the market.
It means that one side of the market is significantly more aggressive than the other, which often leads to a strong directional move.
These are the most reliable signals provided by the Buyers versus Sellers Signals Indicator, as they represent peak market conviction.
How do I use the multi-timeframe dashboard effectively?
The most effective way to use the dashboard is to look for confluence.
If the M15, H1, and H4 timeframes all show green numbers above 90%, it indicates a very strong bullish trend across different market participants.
Trading in the direction of this alignment significantly increases the probability of a successful outcome.
Is this indicator suitable for all currency pairs?
Yes, the Buyers versus Sellers Signals Indicator works on any symbol available in your MT4 platform.
It is particularly effective on major pairs like EUR/USD or GBP/USD, where the volume and participation levels are high enough to produce clear sentiment extremes.
Summary
The Buyers versus Sellers Signals Indicator is an excellent utility for traders who want to understand the “why” behind price movements.
By quantifying market sentiment into clear percentages, it removes much of the guesswork from technical analysis.
Its primary benefit is the ability to show you exactly where the big money is moving across multiple time horizons simultaneously.
While the tool is incredibly powerful at identifying extremes, its effectiveness is highest when combined with traditional price action or trend filters.
Staying disciplined and waiting for those 90% readings will help you avoid choppy markets and focus on the most profitable opportunities.
