About The Trading Indicators
The Vidya_zone.ex4 or Variable Index Dynamic Average Zone indicator uses the high, low and median prices for its calculation. The indicator relies on exponential smoothing as a foundation for changes in the rate trend.
The dsl_-_rsi.ex4 custom indicator on the other hand combines levels and signal line in defining overbought (sell signal) and oversold (buy signal) levels in the market.
