The Ahoora Oscillator MT4 forex indicator is a colored buy and sell technical oscillator indicator.
It deploys two extreme values, 0 and 100.
Oversold markets are found near the extreme 0 value while overbought markets are found near the extreme 100.
The Ahoora Oscillator draws a colored signal line:
- A green line suggests the oscillator trend is upward and price is bullish
- A red line suggests the oscillator trend is downward and price is bearish
This indicators needs to traded in agreement with a trend trading indicator.
For instance, the 100 period MA or 89 period EMA would work.
Trade Ahoora oscillator signals in the direction of the overall trend.
Price trades above the trend trading indicator? Trade the green oscillator lines and ignore the red ones.
Price trades below the trend trading indicator? Trade the red oscillator lines and ignore the green ones.
This approach works great for scalping and day trading during the London and New York trading sessions.
The default Ahoora oscillator “lookback” period is set to 25, I prefer to set it to 100, this reduces the number of false signals significantly.
You can change this value from the indicator’s inputs tab.
