About The Forex Technical Indicators Used
The Envelopes forex indicator is a technical tool that tries to spot the upper and lower bands of a trading range.
The Jurik Moving Average (JMA) has an improved timing and smoothness, while tracking the chart’s quick up/down gapping action.
The SpearmanRankCorr custom indicator for MT4 was initially implemented from the field of statistics by Charles Spearman in 1904.
It was able to design a statistical gauge for the strength of association between two variables.
It became the basis of the rank correlation coefficient and was named after its creator (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient).
