Higher Highs and Lower Lows Indicator

The Higher Highs and Lower Lows Indicator for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is a powerful forex trading tool that automatically detects higher highs (HH) and lower lows (LL) on your chart. It also plots a Zigzag line that helps traders easily identify the trend direction and potential reversal zones.

This indicator is ideal for traders who want to buy from lows and sell from highs, improving entry accuracy and profit potential. It works effectively across all chart timeframes but delivers the best performance on higher timeframes such as H4, Daily, and Weekly charts.

How the Higher Highs and Lower Lows Indicator Works

The indicator automatically analyzes the market structure and highlights swing points with clear labels:

LH (Lower High) – Indicates potential resistance or sell zones.

LL (Lower Low) – Indicates potential support or buy zones.

It also plots a red Zigzag line that connects these key swing points, visually displaying the ongoing market trend. This makes it easier for traders to understand whether the market is trending upward or downward without manually drawing trendlines.

Trading Setup Using the Higher Highs and Lower Lows Indicator

 Buy Setup (Long Trade)

Wait for the Zigzag to plot a Lower Low (LL).

Enter a BUY trade when the price starts moving upward after confirming the low.

Place a Stop Loss just below the recent swing low to manage risk.

Take profit near the next Higher High (HH) or use a favorable Risk-Reward ratio.

 Sell Setup (Short Trade)

Wait for the Zigzag to plot a Higher High (HH).

Enter a SELL trade once the price shows signs of rejection or reversal from the high.

Place a Stop Loss above the previous swing high.

Exit at the next Lower Low (LL) or according to your profit target.

This strategy allows traders to take advantage of both trend continuation and reversal opportunities while maintaining solid risk management.

Important Notes

While the Higher Highs and Lower Lows Indicator is highly effective, traders should be aware that:

The Zigzag line may redraw when the price breaks above or below previous highs or lows.

This feature helps update the chart with new market structure levels, ensuring traders stay focused on the most current data.

Always use price action confirmation or supporting indicators (such as RSI or Moving Averages) before entering trades.
