Trend Line Indicator MetaTrader 4
The Trend Line Indicator is a key tool in MetaTrader 4, widely used for analyzing support and resistance. This indicator automatically detects and plots trend channels on price charts. Traders focusing on dynamic support and resistance can use this tool to recognize trend changes and forecast market behavior.
When the price moves within the channel, traders may enter long positions near the lower trend line and consider short positions near the upper boundary. A breakout from the channel suggests a potential trend reversal, signaling a new market direction and giving traders a chance to adapt their strategies.

Indicator Overview
The Trend Line Indicator uses trend detection algorithms to identify major price levels and automatically draws parallel yellow lines representing the upper and lower trend channel. When a new trend forms, the indicator updates its display with pink and blue lines, allowing traders to follow trend direction efficiently.
Bullish Market Conditions
On the EUR/NZD chart, after a trend emerges, the Trend Line Indicator begins plotting trend lines. When the price nears the lower channel boundary, traders place stop-loss orders just below this level and enter long positions.
Bearish Market Conditions
On the USD/JPY 15-minute chart, the price moves inside a descending trend channel. The Trend Line Indicator automatically detects and draws the channel. If the price touches the upper boundary and fails to break through, that area is seen as a strong resistance level. In such scenarios, traders may explore short positions with proper risk management in place.
