About The Forex Technical Indicators Used
The Bollinger Bands indicator is a tool that gauges volatility in the forex market, alongside other vital information like sessions of market consolidation, direction of trend, possible tops and bottoms along with price targets.
The Bollinger Bands are actually plotted two standard deviations away from a simple moving average.
The SEFC05 custom indicator is a Buy and Sell forex indicator.
The SEFC05 is designed around two moving averages, thus allowing the indicator to smooth price, thereby forming a trend following indicator.
The eWAVES indicator deploys colored histograms that are derived from Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator.
The histogram data calculates Elliot Waves 3, 4, and 5 and plots the count on the histogram window and the activity chart.
