The EMA Trend Catcher indicator for Metatrader 5 consists of two moving averages and delivers a buy or sell signal when the trend reverses its direction.
It is displayed on the chart as a blue and red colored signal line.
The basics explained:
- Essentially, when the shorter MA crosses above the longer MA, this creates a buying opportunity (blue-colored arrow).
- Vice versa, when the short MA crosses below the longer MA, this creates a selling opportunity (red-colored arrow).
The indicator includes several inputs and parameters, such as MA short period, MA long period, alerts ON, mobile notification, and more.
Becoming familiar with this technical indicator and thoroughly testing it on a demo account for an extended period is advisable.
