The Highway Channel indicator is a MetaTrader (MT4) trend analysis tool that identifies and draws price channel lines. The plotted channel lines are refined support and resistance zones for trade entries/exits. The upper zone of the channel acts as the resistance level, while the lower zone is the potential support level.
The indicator’s algorithms are sensitive to price change, which enables it to detect and draw the price channel with great precision. Besides, it is also dynamic and automatically adjusts to the flow of the market trend.
Furthermore, this technical indicator works on multiple time frames, which makes it a recommended trading system for scalper, day/intraday, and swing forex traders.
Features of the Indicator
The indicator is well-optimized to adapt to the dynamics of different market conditions, thereby flowing with the market’s trend. Besides, it works on multiple time frames, making it a suitable system for a top-down analysis on the MT4 platform.
Furthermore, the Highway Channel indicator displays the channel lines and zones in different colors for easy visualization. In addition, it also plots a future projection of the price, which makes it possible for traders to anticipate and plan for the potential direction of the market.
Finally, the indicator allows users to customize the inbuilt parameters to suit their trading style. For instance, a forex trader may adjust the retrogression degree to make it more/less sensitive to price changes.
