MP Candle + SuperTrend NRP Forex Indicator MT4 Strategy
This strategy combines the MP Candle Forex Indicator MT4 and the SuperTrend NRP Forex Indicator MT4 to create a simple and visual trading method for identifying trend reversals and riding intraday swings.
The MP Candle indicator shows hollow candles for bullish sentiment and white filled candles for bearish conditions.
The SuperTrend NRP provides a reliable dynamic trend line: green for bullish and orange for bearish. By combining both, traders can confirm entries visually and avoid trading against the trend.
This system works best on 15-minute to 1-hour charts and can be applied to most major currency pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY.
It’s ideal for intraday and swing traders who prefer to follow market structure rather than rely on complex indicators.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for the SuperTrend NRP line to turn green, confirming that the overall trend is bullish.
- Observe the MP Candle chart and wait for the first hollow candle to appear after the green SuperTrend line appears.
- Enter a buy trade at the close of that first hollow candle.
- Set your stop loss a few pips below the nearest swing low or below the SuperTrend line (for example, 20–30 pips depending on volatility).
- Take profit can be set 1.5 to 2 times your stop loss distance, or when a white filled candle appears, signaling a possible reversal.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for the SuperTrend NRP line to turn orange, indicating a bearish trend.
- Observe the MP Candle chart and wait for the first white-filled candle to appear after the orange SuperTrend line appears.
- Enter a sell trade at the close of that first white filled candle.
- Set a stop loss above the nearest swing high or slightly above the SuperTrend line (around 20–30 pips depending on the pair).
- Take profit can be set at a 1.5 to 2 reward-to-risk ratio, or when a hollow candle appears, indicating a reversal signal.
Advantages
- Visually clear entry points with hollow and filled candles make decision-making easy.
- The SuperTrend filter prevents counter-trend trades, improving consistency.
- Simple rules suitable for both beginners and experienced traders.
- Works well on higher timeframes, reducing noise and false signals.
- It can be combined with other tools, such as moving averages or volume filters, for extra confirmation.
Drawbacks
- False signals may occur when the market is ranging or consolidating tightly.
- During high-impact news events, sudden reversals can cause the SuperTrend to repaint temporarily.
- Late entries may happen since confirmation requires waiting for the candle to close.
- Traders must monitor charts actively to catch the first reversal candle promptly.
