Thread: The Best Technical Indicators for Forex

Foreign exchange, or forex, is a decentralized, worldwide market that facilitates the swapping of one country's currency for another. Forex currencies are priced in relation to other currencies as pairs. For example, the USD/EUR currency pair represents the price of the dollar in Euros. Many forex traders use technical analysis to help them anticipate the future direction of various currency pairs. Technical analysis is a method of analyzing prices using price charts and technical indicators. Indicators are tools created by formulas using various combinations of price and trading volume. Modern price charts offer many different indicators. There are, however, a few indicators that are widely used because they provide clear buy and sell signals.

Moving averages (MA's) are one of the most popular technical analysis tools used when trading forex. Moving averages lag price, in other words, if price starts to move sharply upward or downward, it will take some time for the new data to filter into the moving average calculation and for it to react or "catch up".

MACD is the best since I have been using it on a FreshForex broker for a long time and have made some smart money. However, other indicators are considered the best for forex trading, including Bollinger Bands, Relative Strength Index (RSI), VWAP, Stochastic Oscillator, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, Average Directional Index, and Fibonacci Retracements.

I personally feel comfortable using Tickmill as my broker because I can trade with maximum efficiency thanks to the educational resources they provide. This allows me to deepen my understanding and knowledge of the forex market and benefit from it at Tickmill.
