The most effective indicators for forex

The main tool with which technical analysis is carried out is the indicator; it is it that allows you to speed up this process.

The main thing is to find the most effective tool for these purposes, since you will have to choose among several thousand different scripts.

The task is quite difficult even for an experienced trader, and if you are just starting to trade Forex, it is not at all feasible.

What forex indicators can be called the most effective for technical market analysis?

Each trader has his own list of preferences, here are the indicators that I use:

Number one - Stochastic Oscillator

It just so happened that the Stochastic Oscillator was one of the first indicators I was able to use to make any money.

Its ease of use allows this tool to be applied to virtually any trading strategy, even with its default settings.

The strategy itself is strikingly simple: all you need to do is track the indicator's position and mark line intersections.

The Stochastic trading strategy is described in detail in the article: http://time-forex.com/strategy/strategiy-stohastik

Another argument in favor is that this script is already included in the MetaTrader trading platform, and it's a shame to add it there.

Number two is the VROC or Volume Rate of Change indicator

Changes in trading volumes for a given currency pair have always been one of the most convincing confirmations of an existing trend.


There are numerous indicators for measuring this indicator, including On Balance Volume or Volume, as well as their MetaTrader counterparts.

But the creators of VROC went even further, creating a script that measures the rate of change of this volume.

This means that the more noticeable the indicator line rises, the faster the trading volumes are growing, meaning there's every reason to believe the current market trend will continue.

It's difficult to predict where the trader's terminal gets its volume data, but in most cases, the script's predictions come true.

Number three – Three screen indicator

The operation of this tool is described on our website in an article on the page - http://time-forex.com/indikators/tri-ekrana

It will appeal to those who like to trade using multiple assets, including myself. It's a comprehensive tool that combines readings from four indicators for several currency pairs.

Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the standard "Triple Screen" strategy , but it's a great help, as it combines readings from several indicators at once.

The trader simply waits for all four indicators to show the same forecast for one of the currency pairs and then opens a trade.

It's quite an interesting solution, surprising in its simplicity. While you can simultaneously install all the scripts used here on the charts, that wouldn't be as convenient, and therefore less effective.

The indicators described above are the ones I use most often; in my opinion, they're quite effective for trading Forex, at least for me.
