    About The Trading Indicators

    The Bands is an on-chart volatility indicator. It is made up of an upper and lower band which reacts to changes in volatility.

    The middle band is just a Simple Moving Average line with an adjustable period value.

    The stlm-histograms.ex4 is a custom indicator that shows the overall market trend and its turning point.

    The stochastic-signals-mtf.ex4 forex indicator is a momentum indicator that compares the closing price of a forex pair to its price ranges over a specified period of time.

    The sensitivity of the Stochastic Signals indicator is reduced by adjusting the “K,” “D,” and “S” variable within the inputs parameter.
