About the Trend Trigger Forex Signal Indicator
The Trend Trigger Forex Signal Indicator is a crossover-based trading tool designed for MetaTrader 4 traders who focus on short-term momentum and trending price action.
It is built to identify directional shifts early, allowing traders to enter trades with the trend rather than chasing late moves.
The indicator plots colored signal lines directly on the main MT4 chart.
When trend conditions align, the lines change color to reflect bullish or bearish momentum.
Green line combinations indicate upward pressure, while red line combinations highlight bearish strength.
The Trend Trigger indicator performs particularly well during active market sessions such as London and New York, where liquidity and volatility support scalping strategies.
It is commonly used by intraday traders who prefer fast decision-making and frequent opportunities, while still maintaining a structured approach.

Trend Trigger & Pips Hunter Forex Scalping Strategy for MT4
This MT4 scalping strategy combines the Trend Trigger Forex Signal Indicator and the Pips Hunter Indicator to catch quick intraday moves.
The Trend Trigger indicator provides trend direction through two colored lines (green for buy, red for sell), while the Pips Hunter confirms precise entry points with light-blue and light-red arrows.
This strategy is designed for short-term scalps of 5–10 pips on M1 or M5 charts, ideal for highly liquid pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY.
The strategy works by entering trades only when both indicators align: the trend must be confirmed by the Trend Trigger lines, and the Pips Hunter arrow signals the exact entry moment.
This combination reduces false entries and increases the probability of quick, profitable scalps.
Buy Entry Rules
- Confirm that both Trend Trigger lines are green, indicating a bullish trend.
- Wait for a light-blue arrow from the Pips Hunter Indicator.
- Enter a buy trade immediately once the arrow appears while the trend lines remain green.
- Place a stop loss 3–5 pips below the recent swing low or below the Pips Hunter entry candle.

Sell Entry Rules
