    About The Trading Indicators

    The RSItv.ex4 is a custom indicator for MetaTrader4, a smoothed Relative Strength Index that comes with a sound alert upon crossing the 50.0 level (up or down).

    The smoothed RSI value is just a Simple Moving Average drawn over a longer timeframe, with a preferred value of 50.

    The reducedlagma.ex4 custom indicator is an advanced moving average indicator that eliminates lag, thereby reacting faster to price actions in the market.
