Cafe 5 Forex Indicator (MT4)

About the Cafe 5 Forex Indicator for MT4

The Cafe 5 Forex Indicator for Metatrader 4 is a beginner-friendly crossover system that delivers clear buy/sell signals using two optimized moving average lines.

This simple yet effective tool is ideal for traders who prefer clean charts and reliable trend-following logic without unnecessary clutter.

The indicator plots two colored signal lines (blue and red) on the main chart and alerts you when they cross.

These crossover moments represent potential trade entries based on shifting momentum.

Whether you’re a scalper or a swing trader, the Cafe 5 helps you identify high-probability setups with visual confirmation.

Key Features

• Simple crossover strategy based on two custom moving averages
• Clear blue and red lines for fast visual confirmation
• Non-repainting signals – what you see is what you get
• Works on all currency pairs and all timeframes
• Great for trend trading or as a confirmation tool in multi-indicator setups

How It Works

The system works by identifying the crossover between two moving average lines:

• Blue Line: Faster moving average
• Red Line: Slower moving average

When the blue line crosses above the red line, the indicator suggests upward momentum is building – signaling a potential buy.

Conversely, when the red line crosses above the blue, a sell signal is generated due to downward momentum.

Benefits of Using the Indicator

Chart Example (EUR/USD H4)

In the EUR/USD H4 chart below, the crossover signals offer timely entries during trend shifts. Notice how the blue and red lines provide clean, actionable moments to get into the market.

How To Trade Using This Indicator

Use the crossover logic to enter trades and add your preferred stop loss/take profit logic.

Here’s how to apply it:

• Open a buy trade as soon as the blue line crosses above the red line on your chart.
• Open a sell trade as soon as the red line crosses above the blue line.

Stop Loss and Take Profit Rules

• Stop Loss: Set the stop loss just below the recent swing low for buy trades, or just above the recent swing high for sell trades.
• Take Profit: Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2. For example, if your stop loss is 20 pips, target a 40 pip profit.
• Alternatively, you can exit the trade when the opposite crossover signal appears on the chart.

To avoid false signals, use higher timeframes or confirm setups with trend direction on a larger chart (e.g., H1 for entries, H4 for trend).
