Pinbar Detector MetaTrader Indicator | FREE Forex Trading Indicator

Pinbar Detector is a MetaTrader indicator that attempts to detect and mark Pinbars (also known as “Pin-bars” or “Pin bars”) by placing a “smiling face” symbol below bullish Pinbars and above bearish Pinbars. It is a price action indicator that does not make use of any standard technical indicators in its code. Pinbar detection can be configured using the indicator’s input parameters. On detection, Pinbar Detector can send platform and email alerts. The indicator is available for both the MT4 and MT5 trading platforms.

As you can see from the chart above, neither the indicator nor the Pinbar pattern are perfect. It is recommended that you experiment with different detection settings to filter patterns based on your own image of a perfect Pinbar. Depending on the aggressiveness of your overall Forex trading style, you can use our basic strategy for trading Pinbars or try developing your own. Attaching this indicator to long-term timeframes (from H1 to W1) on all currency pairs you are comfortable trading in is a good idea. Then, alerts would notify you when a trading opportunity arises.
