The iMACD Histogram indicator for Metatrader 4 shows you exactly where to buy and sell currency pairs based on MACD.
IMACD appears underneath the main MT4 trading window in the form of a dual colored buy/sell signals histogram.
- A blue iMACD histogram indicates that the trend is bullish.
- A red iMACD histogram indicates that the trend is bearish.
The iMACD Forex indicator can be deployed on any time frame on any currency pair and MT4 symbol.
It can be used as a stand-alone trading indicator for day trading and scalping purposes (M1, M5, M15) or together with other technical indicators or price action for better trading performance on the larger time frames (M30, H1, H4, D1).
Feel free to experiment with the different iMACD indicator’s inputs settings to suit your needs and preferences.
