FX Technical Analysis & How to Generate Signals

This MT5 indicator provides excellent exit points.

Exit FX Trading Signal for Buy trades

Traders should close long trade positions when price falls below the technical indicator.

If you are forex trading long i.e. The forex price is above the stop and reversal, the SAR will move up every day, regardless of the direction that forex price action is moving. The movement of the indicator depends on the number of pips that prices move. When the SAR changes the direction then the market forex trend also changes to down. This generates the exit signal for long trades.
