Indicator at a Glance
The Velocity Arrows indicator is designed as an oscillator that displays the market trend using fast and slow lines. Traders can assess the acceleration of the market trend and use the cross between the fast and slow lines as a buy or sell entry signal.
This indicator is effectively used to identify trend changes and the optimal entry points for trading.
Uptrend
On the 15-minute chart of Gold (XAUUSD), in the Velocity Arrows oscillator, the fast line (green) crosses above the slow line (orange), signaling an uptrend.
Traders can enter a buy trade by observing this line cross. Additionally, by assessing the amount and slope of the lines moving upwards, traders can evaluate the price acceleration and conduct more detailed analysis for managing the trade.

Downtrend
On the 30-minute chart of the AUD/USD pair, traders can use the Velocity Arrows indicator to identify the market trend. When the fast line (green) moves downward and crosses below the slow line (orange), a sell signal is generated.
Upon the occurrence of this downward cross, traders can enter a sell trade. Furthermore, the greater the slope and movement of these two lines downward, the higher the acceleration of the price in the downtrend, confirming the market's momentum.
