Support and resistance lines are great… but what if you could catch trend breakouts automatically, with minimal lag and maximum clarity? Enter the HMA Breakout Indicator MT4 by YoForex—a free, lightweight tool that uses the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to spot clean breakouts and help you lock in profits sooner. No fuzzy signals, no repainting—just crisp entries you can trust. Ready to up your trend game? Let’s dive in.

Overview

The HMA Breakout Indicator MT4 leverages the Hull Moving Average’s superior smoothing to identify trend shifts faster than traditional moving averages. When price pierces the HMA line decisively and holds, it plots a breakout signal—arrows on your chart plus optional alerts—so you’ll never miss a momentum move.

Built and rigorously back-tested by YoForex’s dev squad, this indicator:

  • Computes an HMA (default period 21) in real time
  • Detects definitive price crossings and breakout confirmations
  • Auto-draws arrows: green for bullish, red for bearish
  • Offers pop-up, email, and push notifications on signal

Ideal for scalpers on M5/M15 or swing traders on H1/H4, the HMA Breakout Indicator MT4 gives you a clean edge without repainting or laggy noise. Plus, it’s 100% free on MQL5.software.

Key Features

• Fast HMA Calculation (period configurable: 9–50)
• Breakout Detection: arrows on cross & close beyond HMA
• Multi-Timeframe Support: apply on any TF (M1–D1)
• Custom Alerts: pop-up / email / push notifications
• Adjustable Signal Sensitivity: filter false breakouts
• No Repainting: signals stay where they appear
• Low CPU Footprint: runs smoothly even on low-end PCs
• Built-in Trend Filter: optional EMA or ADX confirmation
• Chart Annotations: configurable arrow size & color
• Free Updates: quarterly improvements from YoForex
