The SHI Channel True Indicator for MT4 is a powerful tool that employs a fractal-based strategy to create dynamic price channels. The indicator generates three lines — upper, lower, and dotted middle lines — to help traders visualize support, resistance, and trend direction. By analyzing these channels, traders can identify potential trend reversals, breakout points, and prevailing market trends.
How It Works
Fractal-Based Channel Construction:
The upper and lower lines are determined by connecting significant peaks and valleys (fractals) in the price data. Fractals represent local extremes, where a high is surrounded by lower highs or a low is surrounded by higher lows.
Middle Line:
The dotted middle line serves as a reference point for Trend Strength and potential reversal areas.
Trend Identification:
Upward-sloping channel → Uptrend
Downward-sloping channel → Downtrend
Breakout Signals:
Price breaking above the upper line may signal a continuation of an uptrend or a bullish breakout.
Price breaking below the lower line may signal a downtrend continuation or a bearish breakout.
Trading Applications
Trend Following: Use the slope and direction of the channel to determine the prevailing trend.
Reversal Points: The middle line can highlight potential areas of price retracement or reversal.
Breakout Trading: Enter trades when price moves beyond the upper or lower channel line, confirmed by other technical indicators.
Support And Resistance: Upper and lower lines visually represent key levels that price tends to respect.
Note: For best results, use the SHI Channel True Indicator in combination with other technical tools and indicators to confirm trading signals.
