About the Curver Buy/Sell Arrows Indicator
The Curver Buy/Sell Arrows indicator for MT4 is a stop and reverse trading system designed to generate direct buy and sell signals on the price chart.
It uses colored arrows to mark potential trend changes and short-term entry opportunities.
This makes it practical for traders who prefer straightforward decision-making without complex analysis.
Blue arrows signal bullish conditions and suggest buy opportunities, while red arrows highlight bearish pressure and suggest sell trades.
In addition to arrow signals, the indicator plots two Curver bands around the price.
These bands adapt to market movement and offer natural reference points for managing exits.

Curver Arrows + Kaufman Bands Forex Scalping Strategy
This MT4 strategy uses the Curver Buy Sell Arrows Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator together with the Kaufman Bands Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator.
The Curver indicator provides clear buy (blue arrow) and sell (red arrow) signals.
The Kaufman Bands help identify the overall trend: when the bands slope upward, the market tends to be bullish; when they slope downward, bearish.
This combination offers both precise entries and trend‑direction context, reducing the risk of counter‑trend trades.
This strategy works best on low to medium time frames such as 5‑minute (M5) or 15‑minute (M15) charts.
Use during active forex sessions when volatility is moderate to high, and focus on major currency pairs for more reliable band behaviour and liquidity.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait until the Kaufman Bands are sloping upward (indicating a bullish trend).
- Then wait for a blue arrow from the Curver indicator (buy signal).
- Enter a buy trade when both conditions are met.
- Set stop loss a few pips below the recent swing low or below the lower band.
- Set take profit to 15–25 pips, or use a trailing stop as price moves in your favor.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait until the Kaufman Bands are sloping downward (indicating a bearish trend).
- Then wait for a red arrow from the Curver indicator (sell signal).
- Enter a sell trade under those conditions.
- Place a stop loss a few pips above the recent swing high or above the upper band.
- Take profit around 15–25 pips, or trail stop to ride stronger moves.
Advantages
- Combines a clear entry signal (arrows) with a trend direction filter (bands) for higher reliability.
- No complicated indicators, easy signals for beginners or scalpers.
- Adaptable to multiple time frames (M5, M15) depending on your risk appetite and trading style.
- Helps avoid trades against the main trend, reducing whipsaws and false signals.
- Allows scalping with reasonable risk‑reward when done carefully and with discipline.
Drawbacks
- May underperform during sideways or ranging markets, when the band slope is flat and signals are confusing.
- Frequent monitoring is required due to the short time frame and quick trades.
- Small profit per trade.
