The Absolute Strength Histogram MT4 forex indicator draws buy/sell colored histogram bars in a separate Metatrader 4 window.
The histogram bars are based on a mix of trend strength and a moving average.
Green absolute histogram price bars indicate the trend is bullish and currency traders look for buy trade opportunities.
Red absolute histogram price bars indicate the trend is bearish and currency traders look for sell trade opportunities.
For more reliable trading signals, combine the Absolute Strength Histogram with a trend following indicator, for example the 100 simple moving average would be a good choice.
Trade in the direction of the underlying trend and avoid trading against the trend.
Works for scalping, day trading and swing trading purposes.
Feel free to experiment with the default indicator settings.
