MT4 Indicator Mass Index:

  • The mass index serves for finding turns in trends
  • It is based on changes between maximum and minimum prices
  • When the amplitude gets wider, the mass index grows; when it gets narrower, the index gets smaller
  • The mass index was created by Donald Dorcy
  • According to Dorcy the most important mass index signal is a special model which is formed by the indicator
  • It is called "reversal bulge". It is formed if a 25-period mass index at first rises above 27 and then falls below 26,5
  • In this case a turn of price can take place, independently of the general trend (the price can move up or down or fluctuate within a trade corridor)

  • It is often the case if double moving averages are used
  • The only thing where moving averages of different types diverge considerably from each other, is if weight coefficients, that are assigned to the latest data, are different
