Velocity_v2 Indicator For MT5
The Velocity_v2 Indicator For MT5 is one of the most advanced momentum indicators that work based on the triple averaging method. When you spot the histogram bars on the negative side of the reference line you can expect a downtrend. On the contrary, if the histogram bars are formed on the positive side of the reference line, you can expect an uptrend. Pay special attention to the purple color signal curve since it allows you to find the overbought and oversold region. If the histogram bars trades above the purple color signal line on the positive side of the reference line, the market is in the overbought region. Similarly, if the histogram bars trades below the purple color line on the negative side of the reference line the market is in the oversold region. Based on the state of the market, you should place your trade with a low-risk profile so that you can embrace a few losing trades while using the reading of this indicator.
