Overbought & Oversold Forex Indicator (MT4)

The Overbought & Oversold Forex indicator for MT4 identifies overbought and oversold market conditions for any currency pair.

The indicator appears as a red colored line that oscillates between 0 and 70 in a bottom chart window.

Key points:

  • The 0 indicator reading is considered oversold.
  • The 70 indicator reading is considered overbought.

The indicator can be used in various ways. I will present you an example below:

Buy & sell trade idea:

  • A buy trade should be executed as soon as the indicator reaches the 0 oversold territory and the underlying trend is upwards.
  • A sell trade should be executed as soon as the indicator reaches the 70 overbought territory and the underlying trend is downwards.

The indicator works equally well on all currency pairs (majors, minors and exotic) and shows promising results if used correctly.
