The 3 MTF moving average Forex indicator with full alerts generates awesome buy/sell signals based on the relative position of 3 moving averages.
This is a very complete moving average crossover system indicator with a lot of customizable options.
One of the most important option is MTF (multi time frame).
By default, MTF is set to the current time frame, however, you can set it to any time frame that you want to visualize on the open chart.
For instance, you can load the 3 MTF moving average indicator on the 5-minute chart and set the MTF function to the hourly chart.
Basically, now you will be receiving signals that normally occur on the hourly chart on the open 5-minute chart.
Some traders really like this function and trade very well with it.
Another interesting option includes the moving average mode.
With this option, you can choose from simple, exponential, smoothed and linear weighted moving averages.
