The METRO_HTF_Signal indicator is your go-to tool for identifying trend directions and trade signals right within MetaTrader 5. This handy indicator presents signals as graphic objects with color-coded indicators, making it easy to spot potential trading opportunities. Plus, it sends alerts and sound notifications when there are trade signals to consider.
When the trend is on the rise at your selected bar, the indicator will show a round steering wheel graphic that matches the trend's color. Conversely, if the trend shifts, a diagonal arrow will appear, indicating the new trade direction.
