・Helpful and very well-supported indicator MA Ribbon MT5 is a very helpful tool when visually assessing trend and momentum on MT5 charts. The ribbon makes market structure easier to read at a glance, and the overall design is clean and intuitive. Recently I asked the author if it would be possible to add a Custom color option and adjustable width, and he implemented it very quickly and thoughtfully. Now I can match the ribbon to my own templates more easily, which is a big plus for usability. Both the quality of the indicator and the responsiveness of the developer are excellent. I’m happy to recommend it.
