    About The Trading Indicators

    The ZeroLag_MACD.ex4 is a leading indicator and an improved version of the traditional MACD indicator.

    It tries to reduce the lagging effect witnessed on the original MACD indicator.

    The ASCTrend1i price pressure custom indicator is used to deliver trading signals via the use of its yellow upward pointing arrow (bullish signal) and magenta colored downward pointing arrow (bearish signal).
