The Guppy Double Smoothed Forex trend indicator for MT5 uses double smoothing and works in a similar fashion to the classic Guppy indicator.
Similar to the classic version, the Guppy Double Smoothed indicator is comprised of two sets of moving averages:
One set consists of short-term exponential moving averages (EMAs), and the other set consists of long-term EMAs.
To trade Forex using the Guppy indicator, you can follow these guidelines:
- Buy Trend: A buy trend occurs when the short-term smoothed EMAs cross above the long-term smoothed EMAs.
- Sell Trend: A sell trend occurs when the short-term smoothed EMAs cross below the long-term smoothed EMAs.
The following indicator inputs and variables can be modified: price to use (close), starting color for MAs, and ending color for MAs.
Before implementing the Guppy Double Smoothed indicator in real trading, familiarize yourself with its workings and conduct thorough testing on a demo account.
