MA Parabolic + Supply and Demand Intraday Strategy for MT4
This strategy combines the MA Parabolic Forex Indicator for MT4 with the Supply and Demand Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator to create a precise intraday trading method.
The MA Parabolic indicator generates a buy signal when the candlestick closes above both parabolic moving average lines and a sell signal when it closes below them.
The Supply and Demand indicator highlights key support and resistance zones with green horizontal blocks for demand and red blocks for supply.
Combining trend confirmation with key price levels increases the probability of successful intraday trades.
Why this strategy works
