One of the most popular custom technical indicators used by forex traders is the Traders Dynamic Index (TDI). This indicator combines a lot of information in one indicator.
It features a Bollinger Band-like feature that allows traders to identify overbought or oversold market conditions on a dynamically moving linear line. This line also acts as support or resistance. It is plotted on fixed ranges, so it can be used to identify an overbought/oversold market condition.
It has an RSI line that mirrors price movements and a signal line derived form an MA that acts as a crossover sign. These features make the TDI a complete technical indicator for forex traders.
Advanced TDI Breakout Trading Strategy works well with all currency pairs and timeframes.
