MT4’s 1-2-3 pattern indicator represents the three-point pattern at the bottom of the trend. The indicator plots a three-point herringbone pattern. These lines or dots are the high/low, entry and fibo points. It is also known as the 1-2-3 pattern.
These five Fibonacci levels are combined with the herringbone of the non-drawing pattern to highlight the five Fibonacci degrees.
These Fibonacci levels are used to detect price action along with the non-repainted pattern of three lines. The indicator’s ability to show price action trends makes it very useful for price action strategies.
You can use the five Fibonacci levels as support or resistance to help you decide how to position yourself. 1-2-3 pattern indicators can be used in any time frame. However, it is best to use it between the 5-minute and 30-minute periods.
How do you trade the 1-2-3 indicator?
The 1-2-3 pattern indicator indicates price action at the bottom of a trend. The indicator provides entry and exit signals with non-replotted Fibonacci levels and herringbone lines.
When the market is in an uptrend, the indicator will draw a green line to indicate a buy signal. Conversely, when the market is in a downtrend, the indicator will draw a red line. This indicates a sell signal.
Support and resistance are provided by the five Fibonacci levels. The lower Fibonacci level acts as support and the higher Boone as resistance.
When the trend changes, the color of the indicator changes. It can change from green to red, or vice versa. You can also exit the trade. You can exit the trade if the price moves below the line or rises above it.
