The Cross Dot Metatrader 4 forex indicator is a simple trend following buy and sell signals technical MT4 indicator.
The indicator uses a slow moving average and fast moving average to generate its signals.
For scalping and day trading I highly suggest to change its default indicator setting to period 50 or up for the SlowPeriod (found in the indicator’s inputs tab).
Signals will come slower but will be more profitable, less false signals will be generated.
This is important when trading of the smaller timeframe’s (M1, M5, M15).
Experiment with this setting to fit your needs.
Another option is to use the default Cross Dot forex indicator together with other indicators or analysis tools.
