Indicator signals
The PA Adaptive Market Mode indicator is very easy to use. To open a certain trade, it should be used to determine the current trend, namely its direction and strength. To do this, take into account the direction, color and location of its line relative to the signal level. If the current trend is strong upward, long positions can be opened, if the trend is strong downward - short positions. When the current trend changes, in both cases trades are closed.
Signal for Buy trades:
- The indicator line has a color with a growth value and goes from bottom to top, crossing level 0.
Upon receipt of such conditions, a buy trade can be opened on the signal candle, due to the presence of an uptrend in the current market. It should be closed when the trend changes, namely when a reverse signal is received from the indicator. At this moment, it should be considered opening new trades.
Signal for Sell trades:
- The indicator is located below the signal level and its line has a color with a falling value and moves down.
A sell trade can be opened immediately upon receipt of such conditions on a signal candle. At this moment, an uptrend is determined in the market. The trade should be closed when the trend changes, namely, when the opposite conditions are received. At this moment, the indicator gives a signal about the possible opening of new trades.
Conclusion
The PA Adaptive Market Mode indicator is very easy to use, while it is also very accurate in signals, which in turn allows for efficient trading. Before using the indicator on a real deposit, it is recommended to use a demo account in order to use indicator correctly and improve trading skills.
