Forex Trend Indicators



What are Trend Indicators


Trend indicators in Forex reflect three tendencies in price movements:

Up moves, Down moves and Sideways price moves.

Trend indicators help defining the prevailing direction - trend - of the price moves by smoothening price data over certain period of time.

In simple words, Trend indicators allow to visualize Trends in the market.

Trend Indicators Forex

May I please ask about trend lines. Are they also belong to trend indicators. If yes, why you don't mention it here.

 

Trend lines are not exactly indicators, but rather technical tools. Trend lines are graphical analytical tools, applied by traders without any mathematical formula behind them.

However, you'll be right naming trend lines as indicators if we start speaking about automated trading systems, where even trend lines are drawn by a software.

At this point we won't be covering trend line trading, but you can always find good resources about this topic on the net. Here is the one to start with Forex trend lines.

 

Hello,

I don't have any particular e-books on these subjects, unfortunately. I'm sorry.
I think browsing through the maze of Forex websites can bring some results.

 

I'd like to know if there is an indicator out, so that it may count bars from a low or high point and project out from that low or high eg. 30 60 90 bars and so on. I'd like to be able to pick a number of these highs and lows and start counts from them. So that I may see if a cluster appears eg. 90bars 180bars 360bars 1440bars coming together from various highs and lows at some future point. This is a Gann tech , if anyone can help thanks.

Regards 4leafclover
