The Flat Market indicator is a useful tool for traders seeking to identify market trends after price exits range-bound territory.

This indicator is designed specifically for the MetaTrader 5 platform and uses two oscillating lines to determine range areas. When the histogram moves between these lines, it indicates that the market is range-bound.

If the histogram exits this area, it indicates the beginning of a new trend. Traders can combine this indicator with technical analysis to identify buying or selling opportunities when the histogram breaks out of the range area.
