About The Trading Indicators
The Envelopes MT4 indicator is built on two Moving Averages, one shifted upward and the other downward. Once prices reaches the upper or lower margin of the band it signals a buy or sell respectively.
The 100pips Trend.ex4 indicator draws blue and red arrows in two rows within its indicator window to depict a buy or sell signal respectively.
The Parabolic SAR is a trend indicator, which gives traders important information on the direction of trend as well as price stop-and-reverse points on the chart.
