BB Support Up + Higher Time Frame Forex Trend Indicator Strategy for MT4

This strategy combines the dynamic support zones from the BB Support Up Forex Indicator with the powerful multi-timeframe trend confirmation of the Higher Time Frame Forex Trend Indicator.

Together, these tools help traders pinpoint strong buying opportunities within solid support areas confirmed by the broader market trend, making it suitable for swing and intraday trading on M15 to H1 charts.

What Is This Strategy About?

The BB Support Up indicator identifies key support zones using Bollinger Bands and price action, signaling potential areas where price may bounce higher.

The Higher Time Frame Forex Trend Indicator displays the prevailing trend direction from a higher timeframe, helping traders align their trades with the overall market momentum.

By combining these indicators, traders can enter long positions with confidence at strong support levels, only when the higher timeframe trend confirms bullish conditions.

How the Indicators Work Together

1. BB Support Up Forex Indicator

This indicator highlights support zones based on Bollinger Bands and price action, showing areas where buyers are likely to step in and push the price higher.

2. Higher Time Frame Forex Trend Indicator

This tool shows trend direction and strength from a higher timeframe (e.g., H4 or Daily) directly on your current chart, enabling traders to filter trades and avoid counter-trend entries.

Buy Rules

• Price should be within or near the BB Support Up zone.
• The Higher Time Frame Trend Indicator must show a bullish trend (green or upward arrow/indicator).
• Look for bullish price action confirmation, such as bullish engulfing, pin bar, or strong bullish candle within the support zone.
• Enter long at the close of the confirming candle.
• Place a stop loss below the BB Support Up zone or recent swing low.
• Set the take profit near the next resistance level or use a trailing stop aligned with the higher timeframe trend.

Sell Rules

• This strategy focuses primarily on long entries; however, traders can use the inverse logic for shorts by identifying resistance zones and bearish higher timeframe trends.
• If applying short trades, wait for the price near resistance zones, and the Higher Time Frame Indicator should confirm bearish momentum.
