Tired of entries that look perfect on the M15 chart… then flip the other way when the H4 candle closes? You’re not alone. Lower-timeframe noise can wreck great ideas. That’s exactly why H4 H1 Trend Indicator MT4 exists: it checks the higher-timeframe direction (H4 and H1) and gives you a clean, visual confirmation on your working chart. No repainting tricks, no messy dashboards—just a straight “are H4 and H1 aligned or not?” signal so you avoid fighting the flow.


This tool is hosted 100% free on ForexFactory.cc and powered by YoForex. Our team has back-tested it, run it live, and tuned the alerts so you can catch strong continuations and skip choppy traps. You’ll still trade your plan, of course, but with a clear higher-timeframe bias baked in. The result is simple: fewer fakeouts, more confidence, and better trade filtering across majors, gold, and even indices—coz when H4 and H1 move together, momentum tends to follow.


Whether you swing trade or intraday scalp, the H4 H1 Trend Indicator MT4 helps you filter entries and time the “obvious” pullbacks that align with the big picture. It’s light on resources and plays nicely with other tools like moving averages, RSI, or supply/demand zones. You can add it to any chart and timeframe—even if you trade M5, the indicator can still read H1/H4 and tell you what the tide is doing before you dip your toes.

Backtest Proof & Live Performance


We didn’t want to just say it “feels” accurate. So we ran structured tests where the H4 H1 Trend Indicator MT4 acted as the primary filter for direction. Over a 24-month mixed-market period, we tagged entry signals only when both H4 and H1 aligned and price pulled back to a reasonable trigger (like a 20–50 EMA zone or a prior structure level). The result: fewer trades overall, but a notably higher win-rate and better risk-adjusted returns compared to trading without higher-timeframe confirmation.


When the indicator signaled alignment, trade management improved too. Stop losses placed beyond structure held more often, and partial profits on the first key levels got hit sooner. Live, the YoForex team applied the same logic across multiple assets—EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, US100, and XAUUSD. What we saw matched the backtest’s spirit: not every week is fireworks, but the “wrong side of trend” mistakes dropped sharply. That alone can change an equity curve from sawtooth to a steadier climb.

Pro setup hint: Trade your execution timeframe as usual (M5, M15, or H1), but display H4/H1 trend from the indicator. Only take longs when both are bullish; only take shorts when both are bearish. If they disagree, skip or reduce risk.


How It Works (Quick Logic)



  • Reads H4 and H1 trend states using a robust directional filter

  • Flags Bullish when both H4 and H1 align up

  • Flags Bearish when both H4 and H1 align down

  • Flags Neutral/Mixed when there’s no alignment

  • Optional alerts fire when the state changes, so you don’t miss shifts

Practical Playbook (Use Cases)



  • Pullback Warrior: Use the indicator to confirm the trend, then buy pullbacks in uptrends or short rallies in downtrends. Add your favorite trigger (pin bars, engulfing candles, or moving average bounces).

  • Swing Confirmation: Already have an H4 idea? The H1 alignment keeps you honest on timing. If H1 flips, wait for re-alignment before adding.

  • News Avoider: If alignment breaks around news windows, dodge those trades. Re-enter when the higher-timeframe bias settles.

  • Multi-Asset Scanner: Keep it on watchlists for EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and XAUUSD. When the state flips to agreement across several charts, you’ve likely got momentum days.
