Diamond Pattern Indicator for MetaTrader4 Download - free - [Trading Finder]

The Diamond Pattern Indicator is an indicator in MetaTrader 4 that automatically identifies one of the most commonly used technical analysis patterns, the Diamond Pattern, on price charts.

The diamond pattern consists of four trendlines: two upper lines that act as resistance and two lower lines that act as support.

Overview

The Diamond Pattern Indicator identifies one of the most widely used and recurring patterns on price charts, which is very similar to the Head & Shoulders pattern and can provide suitable Entry-Exit points. It is also beneficial for optimizing risk management and trading in line with solid trends in various markets. This indicator automatically identifies patterns where price compression has occurred, forming a diamond shape, and presents them to traders.

Buy Signal Conditions

The chart below shows the EUR to USD (EURUSD) currency pair in a 15-minute timeframe. The Bullish Diamond Pattern forms at the end of a downtrend, indicating a reversal of that trend. The formation of the diamond pattern indicates price compression and trading between buyers and sellers. A trend reversal can be expected after breaking above the resistance level (upper trendline). For confirmation, this breakout must be accompanied by increased trading volume. After confirming the breakout, you can enter a Buy trade. The entry point is usually at the breakout level of the pattern's upper trendline.

Take Profit and Stop Loss for the Cup and Handle Pattern

You can set your stop loss slightly below the last low to manage risk. To determine the take profit, calculate the distance between the diamond's lowest point and the pattern's upper trendline (the diamond's depth) and add this distance to the breakout level.

Sell Signal Conditions

The chart below shows the EUR to JPY (EURJPY) currency pair in a 5-minute timeframe. The Bearish Diamond Pattern forms at the end of an uptrend, indicating a reversal of that trend. The formation of the diamond pattern indicates price compression and trading between buyers and sellers. A trend reversal can be expected after breaking the support level (lower trendline) below. For confirmation, this breakout must be accompanied by increased trading volume. After confirming the breakout, you can enter a Sell trade. The entry point is usually at the breakout level of the lower trendline of the pattern.

Take Profit and Stop Loss for the Reversal Cup and Handle Pattern

To manage risk, you can set your stop loss slightly above the last high of the pattern. To determine the take profit, calculate the distance between the diamond's highest point and the pattern's lower trendline (the diamond's depth) and add this distance to the breakout level.
