What is an indicator

A technical indicator is created by applying a certain formula to the price data of a currency or other financial security. This data can include any combination of the open, high, low, and close over a period of time.

Technical indicators provide traders with a different perspective from which to analyze price action. Technical indicators can be derived from both simple formulas such as moving averages, while others can be more complex such as stochastics. The good news is that you do not need to know how these formulas are applied since the majority of indicators are shown in a graphical format allowing the trader to easily compare it with the corresponding price chart of the currency or security they are analyzing. All forex indicators are presented below:
