About the Multi-Timeframe Triple Moving Average Indicator
The Multi-Timeframe Triple Moving Average indicator for MT4 provides buy and sell signals based on a triple moving average crossover system.
It uses a fast, middle, and slow moving average to identify trend direction and potential entry points.
Traders can activate the indicator on multiple timeframes, including 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, 1-day, and 1-month charts.

Buy signals occur when the fast MA crosses above the middle and slow MAs, and the middle MA is above the slow MA.
Sell signals occur when the fast MA crosses below the middle and slow MAs, and the middle MA is below the slow MA. Trades can be closed at opposite signals or using your preferred exit method.
