- If the buysell5secret.ex4 custom indicator forms a blue upward pointing arrow on a blue line within its indicator window and a corresponding one that is aligned below price bars on the chart window, it denotes a bullish trend.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry

- If the Relative Strength Index (RSI) MT4 indicator moves below the 50 level, an exit or take profit is confirmed. If the RSI is above the 70 level and dips, breaking below the 70 level, some traders tend to use this limit as an exit or take profit trigger.

About The Trading Indicators
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that was developed by J. Welles Wilder to gauge the speed and change of price actions.
The RSI indicator oscillates between zero and 100.
When the indicator is above 70, it is tagged overbought and when it is below 30, it is said to be oversold.
Designed by a German by name Karl Dittmann, the buysell5secret custom indicator deploys a triple alert system to confirm a signal i.e. an arrow in the chart window, color change on the indicator line and another arrow attached to the line indicator within the indicator window.
