    About The Forex Technical Indicators Used

    TMA or Triangular Moving Average defines the main weight that goes into the average part of the price series.

    The TMA forex indicator is simply a double smoothed simple Moving Average.

    The length of the simple Moving Averages is dependent on the oddness or evenness of the selected number of periods

    Developed by Richard Donchian, the Donchian Bands custom indicator is as a tool to spot market price volatility.

    The Donchian Bands gets narrow when there’s no noise in the market, but rapid movements in price will see the bands widens.

    The Relative Strength Index is a momentum indicator that gauges the magnitude of recent price changes to determine overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a forex pair.
