The Forex Trend Scanner was developed for Metatrader 4 and follows the major currency trend with the help of colored candlesticks.
The indicator pops up in the main MT4 chart window as green and red colored candlesticks.
Buy & sell signal:
- A green colored candlestick is a buy signal.
- A red colored candlestick is a sell signal.
For scalping and day trading, the indicator tends to work the best during the London and American trading sessions.
The Forex Trend Scanner indicator can be used for both trade entry and exit, or as an additional confirmation filter for other strategies and systems.
The indicator works equally well on all currency pairs (majors, minors and exotic) and shows promising results if used correctly.
