The 4 MA Candles Metatrader 5 forex indicator is simply a 25-period exponential moving average that is designed to use candles as a means of displaying bullish and bearish market sentiments.
The candles are colored differently on the activity chart, with the lime green candles representing bullish sentiment, while the sandy brown candles are indicative of bearish price action.
The displayed candles are put up based on the 4 averages i.e. average of open, close, high and low.
Forex Traders can also select from any of the four basic types of averages (simple, smoothed, linear-weighted, and exponential) that are included within the inputs parameter.
Despite its simplistic design, the 4 MA Candles MT4 indicator is quite successful at predicting when price is being pushed higher or dragged lower.
Just pay attention to the color of the candles in display.
Feel free to experiment with the 4 MA indicator’s settings to suit your needs.
