The Flat trend SMC MT4 indicator provides neutral, bullish and bearish forex trading signals. It combines a slow, medium and fast moving average to identify these different stages of trend.
Features of Flat Trend SMC MT4 Indicator
The indicator plots the price trend as a multi colored histogram bar. Red indicates a bearish market, Green is bullish and gold shows a neutral or flat trend.
Generally, moving average based forex trading indicators use one or two moving averages to identify the trend direction. However, they tend to provide either a bullish or bearish trend direction based on the location of the price in relation to the moving average value. On the other hand, moving average cross over based trading systems also provide similar output.
The period of the three moving averages in the input settings influence the output trading signals. A higher period generates long term trend signals, however lower values provide frequent trades.
Traders can enter a buy trade if the green histogram bar appears and place a stop loss below the previous swing high. The best profit booking point will be at the opposite trading signal. A similar trading strategy is suitable to open a sell trade if the histogram bar turns red.
Benefits of Flat Trend SMC MT4 Indicator
It is interesting to note that the traditional moving average trading indicators and systems do not identify a neutral or flat market condition. However, this indicator classifies the trend in three different stages. It helps forex traders to stay in the sidelines during a neutral trend where most trend based forex traders tend to lose money.
Furthermore, this indicator is simple to use and is suitable for all types of forex traders and accommodates all trading styles.
