PFE_Overlay Indicator For MT5
The PFE_Overlay Indicator For MT5 has been designed to identifying price trends. It is based on the relationship of price with a fast and a slow Rate of Change indicator. The main Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator gets overlaid on price chart as a Teal colored line, with two Red lines of the Standard Deviation value calculated. The PFE_Overlay Indicator For MT5 can be used for intraday, swing and momentum trading of any liquid financial instrument. Basic signals generated are explained below: 1. When price closes above the upper Red line, it suggests that the immediate trend has turned bullish. Traders can initiate long positions when price breaches the high of the candlestick that closed outside the upper Red line. 2.
