17. The Matrix Arrow Indicator MT4/5© is not a magical market predictor but a dependable tool that interprets current market behavior to produce 100% non-repainting entry and exit signals. These signals are highly beneficial for both manual and algorithmic traders. Unlike other popular indicators, it never repaints or removes old signals to create a false impression of accuracy.
Whenever you notice unclear or conflicting signals on a specific timeframe, try switching to another to find one that aligns better with current market conditions. For instance, in this EURUSD H1 chart, the market’s uncertainty results in contradictory signals, which are not particularly helpful:
By shifting to the M5 timeframe, the market’s movement becomes more stable, allowing the Matrix Arrow Indicator MT4/5© to generate more logical and profitable entry and exit signals. To get the best results from the Matrix Arrow Indicator MT4/5©, it’s essential to scan different symbols and timeframes to find the ones that perform optimally under current conditions. Avoid forcing trades that don’t look profitable or reasonable.
A reliable non-repainting indicator like the Matrix Arrow Indicator MT4/5© compiles data from 10/11 standard indicators to produce trend signals using arrows. Sudden market reversals caused by unexpected news releases or official updates, however, remain unpredictable.
Take this EURUSD M5 chart as an example: the red arrow within the circle represents a sell signal derived from all indicators pointing to a downward trend. Then, following the release of US NFP news, the market reverses direction sharply, causing the price to surge upwards. This kind of movement cannot be anticipated by any legitimate indicator, as no one can foresee news events in advance.
On the other hand, repainting indicators often erase earlier signals, replacing the red arrow with a blue one post-reversal. The Matrix Arrow Indicator MT4/5© avoids this deceptive practice, ensuring that all its signals remain unchanged and visible as they were initially formed.
If a timeframe shows unclear or conflicting signals, consider analyzing another one. On these GBPUSD charts, for example, the M5 and M15 timeframes are challenging because the trend changes direction every few hours.
M1 and H1 are solid timeframes with signals that aren’t overly confusing, making them viable options for trading. When trading on the M1 timeframe, you’ll likely be engaging in scalping for minor profits, while setting a wider stop loss to allow the trade some space to move and protect you from sudden market reversals.
For today’s GBPUSD charts, the 30-minute timeframe offers the best signals. By carefully analyzing all the timeframes above, you’ll realize that M30 is the optimal timeframe for trading during this period. The M30 timeframe also gives you the benefit of more time for your trading decisions, with trades lasting from a few hours to a couple of days, and with wider take profit and stop loss levels that help protect your positions from being hit by minor market shifts.
