About the Indicator
The Forex Array Signal indicator is a profitable trend system indicator that works similarly to a moving averages crossover system.
The Array indicator is composed of two simple signal lines that cross each other whenever the trend changes in the opposite direction.
Key Features
- A buy signal occurs whenever the yellow line crosses the red line upwards.
- A sell signal occurs whenever the red line crosses the yellow line upwards.
For scalpers, the most profit can be made during the London and American trading sessions.

Forex Array + EMA Signal Oscillator Strategy for MT4
This strategy merges two powerful tools: the Forex Array Signal Indicator, known for detecting trend direction across multiple signal sources, and the EMA Signal Oscillator Indicator, which excels at timing entries using smoothed momentum and EMA-based signal confirmation.
When combined, these indicators create a reliable system for trend-following and momentum-based trades.
What Is This Strategy About?
The strategy focuses on aligning directional bias from the Forex Array Signal with timely momentum entries from the EMA Signal Oscillator.
The Array provides overall trend strength and direction using a composite of internal signals, while the oscillator highlights short-term shifts in momentum for precise entry points.
The dual confirmation allows traders to avoid weak signals and trade with both structure and momentum in their favor.
Buy Rules
- Wait for the Forex Array Signal Indicator to display a bullish bias.
- Confirm that the EMA Signal Oscillator is showing a green bar and crossing upward from below the zero line or midline.
- Enter a buy trade at the next candle open after both confirmations.
- Set stop loss below the recent swing low or support level.
- Set a take profit using a 1:2 risk/reward ratio or exit when the oscillator begins to weaken or cross downward.
Sell Rules
- Wait for the Forex Array Signal to show a bearish structure.
- Confirm that the EMA Signal Oscillator is showing a red bar and crossing below the zero or midline level.
- Enter a sell trade at the next candle open after both indicators align.
- Set stop loss above the recent swing high or resistance area.
- Take profit at a 1:2 risk/reward level or exit when the oscillator weakens or reverses direction.
Advantages
- Trend and momentum fusion: The system combines structure (Array) with timing (Oscillator).
- Multi-signal filtering: The Array uses internal logic that increases the quality of each setup.
- Clear visual cues: Color-coded oscillator bars and array alignment make trading decisions easier.
- Ideal for intraday trading: Performs well on M15, M30, and H1 timeframes.
Drawbacks
- Requires alignment: Both indicators must agree, which may reduce trade frequency.
- Lag in sideways markets: Less effective in choppy conditions or tight ranges.
- Best used during active sessions: Needs volume and volatility to perform optimally.
Final Thoughts
The combination of the Forex Array Signal Indicator and the EMA Signal Oscillator forms a disciplined, confirmation-based strategy that aligns trend and entry with precision.
It works best when applied in active forex sessions and trending conditions.
Traders seeking a structured and visual approach to trading momentum and direction will benefit greatly from this combination.
Examples, Back‑Tests, Pros & Cons

It’s efficient in trending conditions but may struggle during deep consolidation.
- Pros: Clear visuals, easy interpretation, solid win rate in trending markets
- Cons: False signals during sideways action, no built‑in trailing stop
