StartTrend Indicator V1.0 MT4

Sick of jumping in too late and missing the trend? Or worse, entering just as it’s reversing? We've all been there. That's exactly why the StartTrend Indicator V1.0 MT4 was created—to help traders catch the beginning of a trend, not the tail end.

Available 100% free on ForexFactory.cc, this MetaTrader 4 indicator is powered by the trusted team at YoForex, known for offering battle-tested tools with real results. Whether you’re new to the market or just tired of repainting messes and late entries, this is one tool you’ll definitely want in your toolbox.

Let’s dig into how this sleek indicator works, what makes it special, and how to install it quickly on your MT4 chart.

Overview: What is StartTrend Indicator V1.0 MT4?

The StartTrend Indicator V1.0 MT4 is a simple yet powerful arrow-based indicator designed to identify the earliest phase of a trend—before it gains major momentum.

It doesn’t repaint. It doesn’t lag. And it doesn’t clutter your screen with 20 squiggly lines. Instead, it gives you clear buy/sell arrows based on a combination of moving average alignment, volume strength, and volatility breakout logic.

This indicator is especially useful for scalpers and intraday traders who want confirmation before entering a position.
