Overview: What is StartTrend Indicator V1.0 MT4?

The StartTrend Indicator V1.0 is a lightweight trend-detection tool built for the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform. Its core function is simple yet powerful—it identifies the beginning of new market trends and gives clear visual cues (arrows) so traders know when to buy or sell.

It doesn’t overload your chart with unnecessary lines or lagging oscillators. Instead, it uses a smart combination of price action logic and trend filtering to help traders make better entry decisions. Whether you're swing trading, scalping, or position trading, this indicator adjusts to your strategy with ease.
