MACD Squeeze Indicator MT5

The MACD Squeeze Indicator MT5 (MetaTrader 5) is an oscillator that shares similarities with the ‘Trade The Markets Squeeze’ technique, but it relies on the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). Its core concept revolves around executing trades exclusively when the Bollinger Bands constrict within the Keltner Bands, creating distinct trading zones. The gauge is visualized through a histogram representation of the MACD, with signal labels aligned along the center line. This forex MT5 indicator is available for free download.

MACD Squeeze Indicator MT5: Introduction

MT5 Indicator Overview

The download link of the MACD Squeeze MT5 indicator is placed at the bottom of this post – once you’re done, your Metatrader 5 trading chart should look similar to the example below.

The MACD Squeeze indicator utilizes color-coded signal labels to highlight the formation of trading zones. As mentioned earlier, these signal labels serve as reference points for executing trades on the MACD, in conjunction with other directional indicators like moving averages or instances of price crossing (e.g., Bollinger Bands).

Integrating this indicator into your scalping, day trading, and swing trading forex strategies will enhance your potential for successful trades. Let’s take a look at simplified trading rules.

Buy Signal

Initiate a long position when both the green and red histograms of the MACD Squeeze indicator break out and remain above the zero center line. Close all buy orders when a bullish trend is in progress, and the blue signal label appears on the zero center line.

Sell Signal

Initiate a short position when both the green and red histograms of the MACD Squeeze indicator break out and remain below the zero center line. Close all sell orders when a bearish trend is in progress, and the blue signal label appears on the zero center line.
