BMA indicator is a custom version of the standard MT4 moving average indicator. The indicator consists of 3 lines: the central line is a regular moving average (it can be simple, exponential, smoothed or weighted), the upper line is shifted up by 2%, the bottom line is shifted down by 2%. These two additional lines serve as support and resistance levels. The indicator is available for both MT4 and MT5.
Input parameters
MA_Period (default = 49) - the period of the standard moving average (center line).
MA_Shift (default = 0) - horizontal shift for all lines on the chart.
MA_Method (default = Simple) - center line drawing type.
Percentage (default = 2) - upper and bottom lines vertical offset percentage.
How to trade with BMA indicator
The best way to use this indicator is to attach it to EUR/USD H4 chart (example shown above) and to sell when the price reaches upper band and to buy when the price reaches lower band. Moderate stop-loss level is advised in both cases as the price can sometimes break those levels or the lines may change directions suddenly.
