Price Border Indicator for MT4

Introduction to the Price Border Indicator

The Price Border Indicator works in a similar manner to the Bollinger Bands indicator. That forex indicator plots a three-band price envelope that is able to identify potential swing high or swing low areas of the market. It is a suitable trading tool for both beginners and more advanced forex traders.

The Price Border Indicator fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs. It is displayed directly on the main trading chart. The default settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.

Trading Rules Explanation

Signals provided by the Price Border Indicator are really intuitive and will not cause you difficulties. When the price reaches the lower band of the indicator, it means an oversold market condition. You can treat it as dynamic support of the market. Similarly, when the price hits the upper band of the indicator, the market is considered to be in an overbought state. You can treat it as the dynamic resistance of the market. The mid-line works as the trend decider. Price floating above its level reflects still an ongoing bullish trend, and an opposite scenario represents an ongoing bearish trend.
