Rate Of Change Indicator For MT5 Trading Signals
The USDJPY H4 chart above shows the ROC – Rate of change indicator for MT5 in action. The indicator displays values in Seagreen color in a separate indicator window as an oscillator with a zero line without an upper or lower limit.
The main method of searching for trading signals is crossing the zero line of the indicator. If the oscillator crosses the zero line from below, it indicates a BULLISH price trend.
Thus, forex traders can place a BUY trade with a stop loss below the previous swing low. The best take profit strategy is to follow the oscillator and stay in position as long as the indicator stays above the zero line. On the other hand, if the oscillator falls below the zero line, it indicates a BEAR market trend. Traders can enter a SELL position with a stop above the previous swing high.
If the oscillator rises sharply from the zero line, this indicates a strong BULLISH trend, similarly, a sharp drop from the zero line indicates a stronger BEAR market trend.
The next important method is to identify the divergence and convergence of the price and the indicator. Divergence or convergence shows a discrepancy between the values of the price and the Rate Of Change indicator. Thus, forex traders can use a BULL or BEAR divergence trading strategy to BUY and SELL respectively.
The third method is to plot support and resistance levels, the basis of technical analysis. Forex traders can plot support and resistance lines and draw channels on the indicator. Forex technical traders can trade breakouts in line with price action.
