One of the best trading indicators for monitoring market volatility is MetaTrader’s Bollinger Bands Color indicator. It is a priceless tool for evaluating market patterns, breakouts, and rebounds.

To gauge market volatility, the indicator bars are shown against the standard deviation. As price volatility rises and falls, they enlarge and contract.

This color-coded MT5 indication, which includes an upper and lower band in addition to a moving average, is shown in the main chart window. Standard moving averages are used to determine the values of the upper and lower bands.

The indicator displays a range of market circumstances that are either avoidable or tradeable. For instance, an exponential expansion of the upper and lower bands is indicative of strong market volatility.

In contrast, a tight band indicates less market volatility. As a result, you will be aware of when to begin searching for exit or BUY/SELL possibilities.

Based on the data shown, the Bollinger Bands Color Indicator for MT5 assists you in determining profitable trading opportunities and exits.
