- If the silver histograms of the MACD Metatrader 4 indicator break and stay above the 0.00 horizontal level as seen on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be driving price higher, therefore a signal to go long on the currency pair of interest.

Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:
- If while a bullish trend is ongoingand the magenta line of the triangulatMA indicator intersects the Triggerlines indicator lines (red lines segment) as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, it is pointing to diminishing bulls power, hence a trigger to exit or take profit at once.
- If the MACD forex indicator pops up a silver histogram below the 0.00 reference level during the course of a bullish trend, more and more bulls are said to be closing their positions, as such an exit or take profit stance is recommended.

- If the magenta triangulatMA forex indicator line crosses above the red lines segment of the Triggerlines custom indicator lines in a top downward fashion as depicted on Fig. 1.1, the overall market sentiment is said to be bearish i.e. a trigger to sell the selected currency pair.
- If the silver histograms of the MACD forex indicator align below the 0.00 reference level as shown on Fig. 1.1, more and more bears are said to be taking up market orders, hence a signal to go short on the designated currency pair.
