About the RSI Monitor Forex Indicator
The RSI Monitor Forex Indicator for MT4 is a practical dashboard that takes the hard work out of multi-timeframe analysis.

RSI Monitor is a free Metatrader 4 indicator that monitors the overbought/oversold RSI values for 9 different time frames.
It works like an early-warning system, telling you exactly when a pair has reached an extreme price level on anything from a 1-minute to a monthly chart.
This is a massive advantage for traders who want to ensure they aren’t buying into a “top” on a higher timeframe.

RSI Monitor + Trend Predictor V1.0 Forex Day Trading Strategy
This MT4 day trading strategy combines two effective tools — the RSI Monitor Forex Indicator and the Trend Predictor V1.0 Forex Indicator.
Together, they help traders identify intraday opportunities by merging strength analysis with visual trend confirmation.
The RSI Monitor displays live RSI values across multiple timeframes, allowing traders to spot when markets are overbought or oversold.
The Trend Predictor V1.0 adds clarity by plotting blue and red arrows directly on the chart to signal trend direction changes.
This setup is well-suited for day traders who prefer clean, fast, and reliable signals.
It performs best on the M15 to H1 charts, where intraday price swings offer frequent setups without excessive noise.
By combining momentum data with directional arrows, traders can align entries with high-probability market reversals and trend continuations.
Buy Entry Rules
- Check the RSI Monitor dashboard for RSI values below 30, showing an oversold condition.
- Wait for the Trend Predictor V1.0 to print a blue arrow on your chart.
- Confirm the general trend is bullish or recovering from a recent dip.
- Enter a buy trade once both indicators align.
- Set a stop loss 20–25 pips below the latest swing low.
- Target 40–60 pips or exit when a red arrow appears.
Sell Entry Rules
- Look at the RSI Monitor and confirm RSI values are above 70, signaling an overbought condition.
- Wait for the Trend Predictor V1.0 to show a red arrow on the chart.
- Ensure the market is in a bearish phase or forming a lower high.
- Enter a sell trade when both conditions occur together.
- Place a stop loss 20–25 pips above the last swing high.
- Take profit after 40–60 pips or when a blue arrow appears.
Advantages
- Combines strength analysis and visual trend confirmation for high-accuracy trades.
- RSI Monitor helps filter weak setups by showing multiple time frame alignment.
- Arrows from Trend Predictor make decision-making simple and quick.
- Ideal for day traders seeking 1–3 solid setups per session.

Drawbacks
- Can miss early entries if the RSI condition and arrow confirmation occur with a delay.
- Performance drops in ranging markets where price frequently whipsaws.
- Arrows may appear late during high volatility or during major news events.
- Requires monitoring several pairs and timeframes, which can be demanding for beginners.
- Not suitable for long-term trading since signals are short-lived and designed for day setups.
Example Case Study 1
On the EUR/USD M30 chart during the London session, RSI readings on the Monitor dashboard dropped below 25, signaling heavy oversold conditions.
Shortly afterward, the Trend Predictor V1.0 displayed a blue arrow at 1.0730.
A buy trade at 1.0732 with a 25-pip stop loss was opened.
The price climbed steadily to 1.0788 within two hours, producing a gain of 56 pips before a red arrow appeared, signaling exit.
Example Case Study 2
On GBP/USD H1, the RSI Monitor showed RSI values above 75 across several timeframes, suggesting an overbought scenario.
The Trend Predictor then printed a red arrow at 1.2835.
A sell entry at 1.2832 with a 25-pip stop loss was placed.
The price dropped to 1.2780 before stabilizing, yielding 52 pips in profit as RSI values normalized near 50, indicating the end of the downward move.
Strategy Tips
- Use this method during active sessions like London or New York for stronger price action.
- Focus on major pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY for consistent liquidity.
- Wait for both signals — RSI condition first, then arrow confirmation — before entering.
- Avoid overlapping trades across correlated pairs to reduce exposure.
- Secure partial profits once the trade moves 30 pips in your favor.
- Stay out of the market during major news announcements that can distort RSI readings.

FAQ
Why is multi-timeframe monitoring important?
Trading in only one timeframe is like looking through a keyhole. Multi-timeframe monitoring allows you to see the “big picture.”
If the 5-minute chart looks like a buy, but the 4-hour chart is heavily overbought, the trade is much riskier.
The RSI Monitor helps you avoid these traps by showing you the status of all timeframes at once.
Does the indicator send mobile alerts?
Depending on your MT4 settings, you can configure the RSI Monitor to send notifications to your smartphone or email.
This is incredibly helpful for traders who cannot sit in front of the computer all day but want to be alerted when a high-probability reversal is setting up.
What do the “bullets” represent?
The bullets are visual triggers. They appear when the RSI calculation for that specific timeframe crosses into the extreme zones (usually above 70 or below 30).
They stay visible as long as the market remains in that extreme state, acting as a constant reminder of potential exhaustion.
Summary
The RSI Monitor for mt4 is an effective technical tool that helps traders stay on the right side of market momentum across the board.
It offers a clear visual representation of when a trend is gaining strength or starting to fade on multiple horizons.
This indicator assists in maintaining a professional edge by identifying high-probability entry points that signal trend transitions.
Using it consistently helps in building a more disciplined approach to entries and exits.
