Currencies Pairs
Selection of opportunities is made according to the following selection criteria:
-
Minimal threshold:minimal difference in points of indexes' variation, the higher it is the more accurate is the signal.
-
Search among all currencies or only opened chart
-
Period: (W)eeks/(D)ays/(H)ours/(M)inutes, default is set to 24h.
-
MA (moving average's period):0=off, to use prices' from a moving average and take benefit from smoothing rather than standard
prices.
Heat zone & signals :
-
Add in the heat zone :default is set to 5 - when a pair reaches that level of strength (whatever it is bullish or bearish), it is
signaled as being trending
-
Remove from the heat zone :default is set to 3 - when a pair falls below that level of strength (whatever it is bullish or bearish), it
is signaled as not being trending anymore
-
Clear journal : will clear the journal
Currencies pairs are listed according to a color-code (Green/Red) based on the "heat zone" values defined by the user :
-
Dark color = strong trend
-
Normal color = trending
-
Light = insignificantly trending
Scope : default is set to 5
-
The scope is a "multitimeframe zoom", a unique feature developed for CIW, since last update values it displays
aren't
no longer strengths, but forces
-
A concrete example being more talkative : "EURUSD, 24h, Scope 5", it will show EURUSD force on :
- the whole last 24 h : strong bull
- the last 19 h : bull
- the last 14 h : bull
- the last 9 h : bear
- the last 4 h : strong bear
You'll find more examples on the "Comments tab".
With such a deep analysis it's possible to
easily anticipate any upcoming consolidation/breakout etc ...
Customization & friendliness
- Default settings : any change made to CIW is registered, this button will reset the indicator to its default settings
- Beep to notify : enable/disable sound notification
Currency Index Watcher is timeframe independent and needs to be applied on one only chart but an interval of
>=24h is recommended to rely on this strategy.
