This guide explains exactly how to apply the 100 Pips Indicator in MT4 and how to interpret its buy/sell signals.

How the Pips Indicator Works

The indicator uses two moving averages:

Fast Moving Average (Blue)

Slow Moving Average (Red)

The interaction between these two MAs—specifically their crossovers—forms the core of the trading strategy.

Bullish Crossover

The blue MA crosses above the red MA

Signals upward momentum and a potential Trend Reversal

Bearish Crossover

The blue MA crosses below the red MA

Indicates downward pressure and potential sell opportunities

Because the indicator smooths out market noise, these crossovers help traders catch the early stages of major price movements.

How to Trade With the Pips Indicator in MT4

 Buy Strategy

A buy signal occurs when:

The fast MA (blue) crosses above the slow MA (red).

The crossover appears near the bottom of a market range, or during a bullish breakout.

Price action supports the move (e.g., bullish candles, breakout patterns, or a higher low formation).

Entry:
Place a buy trade immediately after the bullish crossover.

Stop Loss:

Below the most recent swing low

Or below a key support level

Take Profit:

When the indicator plots a bearish crossover, signaling a possible trend reversal

Or at a predefined reward-to-risk target (1:2 or higher)

 Sell Strategy

A sell signal occurs when:

The blue MA drops below the red MA.

The crossover forms at the top of a market range or during a bearish breakout.

Price confirms the move with bearish structure.

Entry:
Enter short immediately after the bearish crossover.

Stop Loss:

Above the recent swing high

Or above a resistance level

Take Profit:

When a bullish crossover forms

Or at your target profit level

Exit Strategy

One of the advantages of the 100 Pips Indicator is its built-in exit logic.
Simply exit your trade when:

The indicator plots an opposite crossover to your entry direction, signaling a trend shift.

This keeps you aligned with the dominant market direction at all times.
