What Is the Extreme Spike MTF Indicator?

The Extreme Spike MTF (Multi-Timeframe) indicator detects extreme price movements, known as spikes, that often lead to trend reversals or breakout opportunities. These spikes represent moments of market imbalance, where strong buying or selling pressure drives price far from its average range.

The indicator displays colored dots and bars on your chart:

  • Blue bars/dots indicate bullish spikes or upward momentum.
  • Red bars/dots highlight bearish spikes or potential reversals.

Its multi-timeframe feature allows you to view higher timeframe data (like H1 or H4) even when trading lower timeframes (such as M15 or M30), improving trade confirmation and reducing false signals.

How the Extreme Spike MTF Works

This indicator analyzes volatility and recent price behavior to detect when markets are overextended or preparing for a reversal. When a spike forms, the indicator marks it visually, enabling traders to enter early on confirmed breakouts or reversals.

Buy Signal Steps:

  1. Wait for blue bars or dots to form near the market low.
  2. Confirm a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., pin bar or engulfing).
  3. Enter a buy trade when the price rebounds from the low.
  4. Place a stop loss below the recent swing low.
  5. Exit when red bars appear, signaling fading momentum.

Sell Signal Steps:

  1. Look for red bars or dots near the market high.
  2. Confirm bearish reversal patterns or rejection at resistance.
  3. Enter a sell trade when price breaks below the trigger candle.
  4. Set a stop loss above the recent high.
  5. Exit once blue bars emerge, indicating potential bullish recovery.

Real Chart Example

On an EUR/USD 1H chart, after a sharp drop, the Extreme Spike MTF plotted blue bars at the bottom. A bullish engulfing candle confirmed a reversal, and the pair surged over 80 pips. Later, red bars at the top signaled exhaustion, leading to another profitable short entry. This dual confirmation helps traders capture both sides of the move effectively.
