The AD Forex trend indicator for beginners is an easy to use trend-following Metatrader 4 indicator that delivers profitable buy/sell signals on any currency pair.
The indicator appears in a sub-trading window below the main trading chart.
The AD indicator consists of a blue and red colored trend signal line that’s based on a Moving Average and an algorithm.
Interpret the AD signal line as follows:
- A blue signal line represents a buy trend.
- A red signal line represents a sell trend.
It’s basically that simple!
It’s a good choice for beginner Forex traders but also fits seasoned traders.
- For scalping, apply the indicator on the M1 and M5 charts.
- For intraday trading, apply the indicator on the M15 and M30 charts.
- For swing trading, apply the indicator on the H1, H4 and D1 trading charts.
Tip: Combine this trend-following indicator with the Stochastic oscillator to generate quick scalping signals.
- AD indicator trend up (blue signal line): trade the oversold Stochastic indicator signals.
- AD indicator trend down (red signal line): trade the overbought Stochastic indicator signals.
