Cauchy Difference Forex Indicator (MT4)

About the Indicator

The Cauchy Difference Forex Indicator for MetaTrader 4 is a technical tool based on advanced mathematical principles, specifically the concept of Cauchy sequences.

It measures the difference between prices over a defined interval to detect price acceleration and trend strength.

This results in early identification of trend reversals or momentum buildup, ideal for scalpers and swing traders alike.

Designed for simplicity and effectiveness, this indicator displays a purple histogram that rises and falls based on the speed of price change.

Traders can visually assess potential buy or sell opportunities as the histogram crosses certain thresholds or changes direction.

Key Features

  • Visual histogram-based interface for easier signal interpretation
  • Works across all timeframes and currency pairs
