The Forex scanner pro trend MT4 indicator mainly uses the 200 period simple moving average to calculate the forex price trend. However, it applies a complex calculation to add a shift to the moving average. It uses two different shift values and provides bullish and bearish forex trading signals based on their crossover.
Features of Forex Scanner Pro Trend MT4 Indicator
The indicator plots a histogram with green bars. A histogram below zero line shows a bearish market trend, while histogram above indicates a bullish price trend.
The indicator works similarly to the classic moving averages. However, the main difference between the classic moving averages and this indicator lies in the moving average shift. Classic moving averages uses a shift value of 0; hence they use the price of current candle for calculation.
However, this indicator automatically calculates a shift value according to price changes. Moreover, it calculates two different shift values and the crossover of these two indicator values provide the trading signal. The signals are then displayed in the form of a histogram in a separate indicator window.
Traders can use the histogram to buy and sell once the histogram crosses the zero line.
