About The Trading Indicators
The 100-pips-indikator.ex4 offers traders the ability to easily enter and exit trades.
The indicator is essentially made up of four technical studies with the ATR volatility indicator.
The 36 EMA is an exponential moving average that has its period set at 36 and reduces the lag by adding more weight to recent price.
The Momentum_Histo.ex4 is a technical indicator that applies the CCI or RSI on price in order to gauge the momentum of the currency pair’s price over a specified period of time.
