The Forex Breakout Channel indicator for MT4 identifies and draws the best channel breakout levels for both buy and short trades.
The indicator draws two colored trend lines on the chart that act as support and resistance.
In essence, buy a break above the resistance channel line and sell a break below the support channel line.
It’s recommended to trade price breakouts in the direction of the overall trend.
Buy & sell signal:
- Open a buy trade when the candlestick closes above the blue resistance channel line.
- Open a sell trade when the candlestick closes below the red support channel line.
From our testings, the indicator does not repaint and works for any currency pair and time frame without slowing down the trading platform.
It can be used as a standalone technical tool or it can be combined with other technical indicators and trading strategies.
