The Power Trend Metatrader 5 forex indicator is a technical tool that is deployed in determining trend power and its direction.
The trend direction is determined by the histograms’ location relative to the zero signal level, while the color of the histogram bars depicts the trend power.
A black colored histogram represents a very weak trend or the absence of it, while a red colored histogram implies the emergence of a new trend.
In addition to this, a blue colored histogram bar shows a moderate trend, while a strong accomplished trend is denoted by green color.
