    MT5 Trading Indicators Used For This Strategy

    The nonlagdot indicator is a supply and demand technical tool that calculates the likely trend, taking into account the dominant market forces.

    The Awesome Oscillator indicator is a histogram-type indicator that is used in gauging market momentum and was first introduced by Bill Williams.

    Traders can use this tool to confirm trends and determine probable reversal points.

    The OBOS forex indicator is short for OverBought OverSold, and it represents an oscillator that shows the direction of the market movement via the use of colored histograms within a separate indicator window.
