BB MACD v6 + HMA Mega Trend Arrows Strategy for MT4

This powerful trend-following strategy blends the momentum-based signals from the BB MACD v6 Forex Indicator with the smooth trend direction and entry signals from the HMA Mega Trend Arrows Indicator.

When used together, these indicators provide traders with a visually clear, momentum-backed trading system optimized for M15 to H1 timeframes.

Ideal for swing and intraday trading, the strategy seeks to capture extended trend moves with reduced whipsaws.

What Is This Strategy About?

The BB MACD v6 indicator combines Bollinger Bands and MACD logic to create a color-coded histogram and signal line system that shows trend momentum and strength.

The HMA Mega Trend Arrows indicator uses the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to detect shifts in trend direction and plots buy/sell arrows when momentum aligns.

The synergy between these tools helps confirm strong trend entries and reduces the chances of trading against the prevailing momentum.
