    About The Forex Technical Indicators Used

    The Reference Slow Trend Line or RSTL is a “slow” response trend line.

    The indicator is similar to the simple moving averages because of their delay “lag” in relation to the current prices.

    The i-AMMA is by default a 25-day Average Modified Moving Average that is deployed as a price filter.

    The Commodity Channel Index or CCI is a momentum based indicator that falls under the oscillator classification.

    Regardless of its name, the CCI is not exclusively designed for the commodity market, but can be used in the forex market to gauge overbought/oversold conditions, as well as spot trends.
