Indicator signals
The DKX Arrows Alerts indicator is very easy to use, not only due to convenient visualization but also due to the presence of notifications when signals are received. Thus, to open a certain trade, both the current values of the indicator and its signals should be taken into account. The direction of the current trend should be taken into account,, whichis determined taking into account the intersection of the indicator lines and their direction. To open a trade during this period, the color and direction of the arrow are taken into account. If the current market trend is upward, long positions are opened, if the trend is downward, short positions are opened. At the moment of a trend change, in both cases, trades are closed.
Signal for Buy trades:
- The indicator lines are directed upwards and intersect so that the fast one is higher than the slow one. An upward arrow is formed under the lines.
Upon receipt of such conditions on a signal candle, confirmed by the presence of an uptrend and an indicator signal, a buy trade can be opened. Upon receiving the opposite conditions from the indicator, that is, at the moment the current trend changes, the trade should be closed and the opening of new ones should be considered.
Signal for Sell trades:
- The slow line intersects with the fast one and is located above it. An arrow is formed above the lines, pointing down.
A sell trade can be opened immediately upon receipt of such conditions on a signal candle. At this moment, a downtrend is determined in the market. At the moment of its change, namely upon receipt of the reverse conditions, the current trade should be closed and a new one should be considered.
Conclusion
The DKX Arrows Alerts indicator is a fairly powerful trading algorithm that is used to trade with the trend. The indicator is very easy to use thanks to its visualization and signals, but it is recommended to practice on a demo account before using it on a real deposit.
