MT4 Trend Master + Forex Trend Filter Strategy
This strategy combines the Trend Master MT4 Forex Indicator with the Forex Trend Filter MT4 Indicator.
The Trend Master indicator provides clear buy and sell arrows: blue for bullish signals and red for bearish signals.
The Forex Trend Filter uses histogram bars to indicate the overall market trend: blue bars show a bullish trend, while red bars show a bearish trend.
By using the histogram as a filter, trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend, reducing false signals.
This strategy works well on M5 and M15 charts and is suitable for day traders and scalpers who want clear entries and trend confirmation.
Buy Entry Rules
- Forex Trend Filter histogram must be blue, indicating a bullish trend.
- Trend Master must display a blue arrow.
- Enter long at the open of the next candle after the blue arrow appears while the histogram remains blue.
- Place a stop loss a few pips below the recent swing low or support area.
- Set take profit at twice the stop loss distance, or exit if the histogram turns red or a red arrow appears.
Sell Entry Rules
- Forex Trend Filter histogram must be red, indicating a bearish trend.
- Trend Master must display a red arrow.
- Enter short at the open of the next candle after the red arrow appears while the histogram remains red.
- Place a stop loss a few pips above the recent swing high or resistance area.
- Set take profit at twice the stop loss distance, or exit if the histogram turns blue or a blue arrow appears.
Advantages
- Helps filter trades in the direction of the main trend, reducing the number of low-probability trades.
- Provides clear entry and exit signals, making it easier to follow and less subjective.
- Can be applied to multiple timeframes depending on trading style (scalping or intraday).
