FAQ
What do the two red lines represent?
The red lines are a specific combination of weighted moving averages that track the short-term and medium-term trend.
When the lines are tight together and the price is crossing them, the market is likely ranging.
When they fan out and price stays on one side, it indicates a high-momentum trend is in progress.
These lines act as the “backbone” of the Sidus system.
Can I use this indicator for scalping on M1 charts?
Yes, the Sidus Forex System is quite popular for M1 and M5 scalping.
Because the arrows react to momentum shifts, it can help you catch quick bursts of price movement during the London and New York session opens.
Just be aware that on very low timeframes, you should look for arrows that align with the higher timeframe trend (like the 1-hour chart) to avoid false signals.
Does this indicator repaint the arrows?
The Sidus system is designed to lock the arrows once the candle has officially closed.
This makes it a reliable tool for backtesting.
Always wait for the current candle to finish its period before entering a trade to ensure the arrow remains on the chart and the signal is fully confirmed.

The Sidus Forex System for mt4 is an effective technical tool that assists in determining the appropriate timing for market entries.
