The video explains the Bollinger Squeeze Basic Indicator available for free download on the TradingFinder website for MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms. This indicator combines traditional Bollinger Bands, momentum indicators, and the Keltner Channel to generate clear buy and sell signals based on market momentum and volatility squeeze conditions.
Main Financial Strategies and Market Analyses:

- This breakout is used as a trigger for entering trades.
- Momentum Analysis:
- The oscillator histogram shows market momentum relative to zero.
- Positive momentum (above zero, often green) suggests an upward trend; negative momentum (below zero, red) suggests a downward trend.
