About The Trading Indicators
The Forex-breakout-box acts like a zone that defines price direction, as such if price breaks out of the box downward or upward, then trend is said to be bearish or bullish respectively.
The Forex-mt4-trend-indicator is a custom indicator that combines an arrow and candlestick like bars in delivering buy or sell trading alerts.
The Forex-mt4-trend-indicator can also be used as a gauge for measuring reversals.
The ForexCloud resembles a cloud the way it sits itself above or below price bars, offering an overall market direction.
When the cloud is red and sits above price bars, it denotes a bearish trend, while it denotes a bullish trend when it is green and sits below price bars.
