Indicators Analysis

Most technical indicators are typically displayed separately from the main chart, usually positioned below it, as they often employ a distinct scale that diverges from that of the price chart.

Other analysis indicators are displayed & shown on the trading chart itself, such as Moving Averages indicator & Bollinger Band these are known as price overlays.

Some of the top tools for trading analysis are:

Moving Average (MA) - Using a variety of analysis studies, different types of signals can be generated from the currency charts using the moving averages. The Moving Average shows buy trade signals when prices rise above the MA lines. Sell signals occur when the price falls and drops below the MA lines. Another method to trade with MAs is using the MA crossover signals.

MACD is one of the trend following indicators, MACD has got a signal line that is used to generate a buy signal (above MACD center line) or a sell trade signal (below MACD centerline).

Indicators that analyze the market based on volume are used to understand the strength of market trends. A lot of volume, especially when the market is low, can mean a new trend is starting, while low volume might mean the market is moving sideways.

Bollinger Band show potential points where market movements are likely to change. Technical analysis setups of this indicator that show sharp movements in the price action tend to happen when the bands tighten (Bollinger band squeeze). While prices which touch one of the outer band/channel tends to go and move all the way to the other band. Bollinger Bands move in a given direction up or down when there is a market trend.

These technical indicators are some of the most often used trading indicators when it comes to daily analysis. To learn more about how to combine these analysis indicators to form a strategy you can go to strategies section and learn how to create an indicator based system.
