MT4 "DaysOfWeek" Indicator

MT4

Indicators that are directly linked to trades such as RSI and Stochastics are very popular. However, it is a good idea to also use utility indicators in addition to these indicators.

Trading can be done more comfortably with utility indicators. The MT4 indicator, called "DaysOfWeek", introduced here is one such utility indicator.

Example of displaying this indicator on the Eurodollar 1-hour chart

As you can see from the image, this indicator shows the day of the week on the chart. MT4 does not display the day of the week by default, so this indicator should be very useful.

If you know the day of the week clearly, it will be easier to trade according to the characteristics of each day of the week. Of course, it is also useful when analyzing historical charts. The text color and text position can be set with parameters.

About the characteristics of each day of the week

In the FX market, price movements may change depending on the day of the week. The following is an example of such characteristics. The following characteristics may not apply to every currency pair, and these characteristics change over time, but should be helpful in finding price behavior patterns.

Monday

The price movement on Monday may prescribe the price movement for the week. For example, if Monday is a positive line, other days are likely to be positive. This is related to the fact that major financial institutions tend to build positions on Monday and close on Friday.

Tuesdays

Tuesdays often inherit the flow of Monday.

Wednesday

Wednesday is the same as Tuesday. It is also a day when it is easy to sag.

Thursday

What I want to pay attention to is Thursdays. Often the flow of the week changes completely on Thursday. For example, it may happen that the price drops all at once on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but with a positive line. For this reason, it may be a recommended day of the week for those who want to aim for picking reversals and contrarian trading.

Friday

Friday is often the most notable day of the week. On Fridays, price movements tend to be intense, and price movements occur as the position is organized. Also, it is easy to have many economic indicators, such as US employment statistics, all jam-packed on a Friday. For this reason, if you are a beginner, you may even want to avoid trading on some Fridays.
