Most professional forex traders have some of the blankest trading screens.
You’ll expect to see their trading screens littered with some of the most advanced technical indicators, but you’ll be disappointed to find the opposite of this.
The Chanel MACD Scalper forex trading strategy is designed to be simple, yet effective in spotting market trends.
All you need do is add the indicators onto your trading chart and watch the magic unfold – well, let’s rather say the profits unfold.
The strategy is comprised of the MACD MT4 indicator (that helps us measure momentum, while following trend) and the chanel scalper custom indicator, a tool that can define support or resistance levels, while also spotting price exhaustion.
