Unlocking Trend Insights with the ADXCrossing_HTF_Signal Indicator for MetaTrader 5

Hey traders! Today, we’re diving into the ADXCrossing_HTF_Signal indicator, a powerful tool for identifying trend directions. This nifty indicator visualizes signals generated by the ADXCrossing indicator on your MetaTrader 5 platform. It does this by displaying arrows that indicate the trend direction, along with alerts and audio signals to keep you in the loop.

When the trend is strong at your selected bar, you’ll see a right arrow pop up, colored to match the trend direction. On the flip side, if the trend shifts, you’ll notice a diagonal arrow, reflecting both the color and direction of the new trade signal.
