About The Trading Indicators
The 3MAFan.ex4 is also known as the 3 Moving Average Fan indicator and is built upon the 5, 21, 55 MAs, offering traders the ability to determine trend on all timeframes.
The Aroon-oscillator.ex4 is a trend finder that I calculated as the difference between the Aroon Up and Aroon Down.
A strong bullish trend is depicted when the indicator exceeds 50 to 100, while -50 to -100 defines a strong bearish trend.
The Force Index.ex4 was developed by Alexander Elder, as an indicator that deploys price and volume as tools to measure the strength behind a move or pinpoint the likely turning points.
