About The Trading Indicators
The Correlation-mt4-indicator is an oscillator that delivers buy and sell signals based on the cross-over of two lines.
The Custom Moving Average shows the mean price value of the asset over a period of time.
The Parabolic SAR doesn’t use lines but dots as seen above and is designed to deliver entry and exit alerts.
