The absolute strength signal Forex indicator works similar to its histogram version.
Instead of using an histogram, this absolute strength signal MT4 version uses 2 technical lines, a green and red one.
The indicator appears underneath the main MT4 activity chart.
It uses two methods to achieve this: the RSI method and Stochastic method.
Trade with it as follows:
- Open a buy trade if the green absolute strength indicator line crosses the red line upward. The trend is now bullish.
- Open a short trade if the red absolute strength indicator line crosses the green line upward. The trend is now bearish.
Use this indicator for short-term trading purposes.
It’s recommended to combine it with a longer-term trend following Forex indicator and then only open trades in the overall trend direction.
This will increase trading performance.
Feel free to play with the input parameters.
