Example

At first glance, the Traders Dynamic Index indicator is not too easy to use, but you will get accustomed to it:

  • For forex scalping, enter long when the green color line is above the red color line and enter short when the red color line is above the green line.
  • For short-term trading, enter long when the green color is above the red and the yellow color lines; enter short when the red one is above the green color and the yellow ones.
  • For medium-term trading, go entry long under the same conditions as short-term trading but only when all color lines are below 50; to go short entry — the same but above 50.

Mind the blue color volatility band, as it points to the long-term trend strength and volatility when wide. A vertical green line also changes signal short-term market volatility.
