The main objective of the Momentum Indicator is to alert traders to changes in market sentiment. It works in all time frames and supports stock charts as well as forex.
How to use the Momentum Indicator in MT4 to identify buy-sell signals
This indicator uses a 14-period moving average system to check price momentum. If the indicator’s value is above 100, it may indicate a bullish trend in price. Conversely, if it falls below 100, it may signal a bearish move.
The chart above shows that the hourly candlestick chart for GBPUSD ended with a low below the 100 level. The indicator level fell below 100, confirming a bullish divergence. The indicator value then bounces above 100, signalling bullish momentum. If the indicator value reaches 100, we can trigger a buy or sell order.
If you are looking for a selling opportunity in the market, ensure that the indicator line stays below 100. If the indicator is showing bearish momentum, look out for price action signals that may signal a short entry. To confirm a sell order, you may be looking for a bearish convergence. A bearish divergence is when the price reaches a lower level while the indicator level reaches a new high.
Summing up
