Summary of "🚀 Braid Filter Indicator in MetaTrader 4/5 - Free Download [TradingFinder]"
Braid Filter Indicator Overview
The video introduces the Braid Filter Indicator (also called the “Brit filter indicator”), which is available for MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms. It can be downloaded for free from the TradingFinder website. This technical tool helps traders analyze market trends and momentum using a histogram based on three moving averages.
Key Features and Methodology
- The indicator utilizes three moving averages (short-term, medium-term, and long-term) to create a histogram that reflects price momentum and trend direction.
- The histogram is displayed in a separate window below the price chart.
- Buy and sell signals are generated based on the histogram bars crossing a defined filter line:
- Bars below the filter line appear gray, indicating a neutral or no signal.
- Bars above the filter line in green indicate a buy signal.
- Bars above the filter line in red indicate a sell signal.
- An ATR (Average True Range) length input is included to adjust signal sensitivity:
- Higher ATR values result in fewer but more accurate signals.
- Lower ATR values produce more frequent but less accurate signals.
