In this chapter you may download the MetaTrader4 (MT4 hereafter) indicators and templates I
personally use for my trading.

I recommend the MIG MT4 feed for your charting needs for the following reasons:

They feed all the crosses between the eight major currencies I trade (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF,
JPY, CAD, AUD and NZD). That's 28 crosses in total.
Their data is pretty reliable and without false price spikes.
You can renew the demo account as many times as you wish, so you virtually have a free
charting platform as many times as you wish.

Now please watch the following video where I explain how to download the MetaTrader4 platform
and how to install my custom indicators and templates so you can apply them into your own charts. It
will clear up all your questions :)

I use two sets of templates:

My normal trading template [ FINAL2.CT.HectorTrading.tpl ]

This is the one I use for my normal trading routine and it's the one you can see me using in all the
videos in my blog.

My 3 SMA Trend Filter Dashboard template [ FINAL2.CT.3SMATrendFilterDashboard.tpl ]

You only need to apply this template into one chart and with one quick look you will know which
currency pairs and time frames are presenting a healthy trending outlook. Please note that:

A) you need to apply this template to a 5 minute chart so it refreshes itself often, and
B) your MT4 broker must offer all currency pairs for the Dashboard to feed from it. Like I said above,
MIG fulfills this requirement.

I regularly use the following custom indicators:

Grid indicator [ FINAL3.CustomIndicators1.Grid.ex4 ]

It draws a horizontal dotted line at the Round Number level. It's very useful because as you guys have
studied throughout this course I use them as level of psychological support and resistance for the
intraday price action.

Average Daily Range indicator [ FINAL3.CustomIndicators2.Average.Daily.Range.ex4 ]

I use a currency's Average Daily Range in a number of fashions as explained in chapters 4, 6 and 7.

Time Zones indicator [ FINAL3.CustomIndicators3.TimeZones.ex4 ]

It colors each day's worth of price action in a different rectangular fashion, which I find specially
useful when it comes to trade the London Open Breakout type of trades (chapter 7) for identifying with
a quick look the intra-week overall market sentiment.

The 3 SMA Trend Filter indicator [ FINAL3.CustomIndicators4.3SMATrendFilterPro.ex4 ]

This indicator labels a currency pair as "tradable" or "non-tradable" as per the 3 SMA Trend Filter
conditions on different time frames: red circles mean tradable to the short side, green circles mean
tradable to the long side and gray circles mean not tradable as per my 3SMA filtering conditions..
Moreover, the Average Daily Range indicator has been included so you don't need to load up extra
indicators on your charts.

One quick comment though: just because the indicator labels a currency pair and time frame as
"tradable" it doesn't mean I will indeed take entries. It simply means that the 3SMAs plot in the chart
as they should. Your own personal analysis and discretion is still needed to validate the setup.

Trendline Alert Indicator [ FINAL3.CustomIndicators5.TrendlineAlerter.ex4 ]

This indicator rings an alarm when price comes close to our pre-defined trendline, which is very useful
when you're waiting for a triangle breakout or a retrace-trendline breakout. Just place the indicator in
the chart and draw a trendline. Now, under that trendline's "description" text field (right click on
trendline and select "trendline properties") type the following: Alert_# , where the # is the number of
pips of distance in advance you want the indicator to warn you. For example, if you want the indicator
to ring off when price touches the trendline, simply type Alert_0. If you want to be alerted when price
closes in within 5 pips to the trendline, type Alert_5. Easy, isn't it? :)

The 3 SMA Trend Filter Dashboard [ FINAL3.CustomIndicators6.3SMADashboard.ex4 ]

This MT4 platform indicator plots all the different currency pairs on the Y-axis and the different time
frames on the X-axis. If the square brightens up in green, that currency pair is tradable for a long entry
on that precise time frame. If it brightens up in red, it's tradable to the short side. If it remains gray, it's
not trending at this precise time. Moreover, if a little bell pops up next to the colored squared it means
that it's tradable and price is at this precise time within the Area of Dynamic of Support/Resistance
between the 30 and the 50 SMA. Moreover, it plots the Current Day's Range and the Average Daily
Range.

With this indicator there's no need to load up dozens of minicharts on your screen. Just one chart and
one indicator. That's all you need to know what's happening across the board as far as the 3SMA trendfilter goes.

Finally, please mind that this indicator is powerful and complex, so it may take few moments to load
up on your chart.
