The Currency Strength Lines (CSL) Indicator is a very useful tool for both beginner and experienced traders. This indicator is able to calculate the strength of single currencies and show them in a graph so that you can see the trend and spot trading opportunities.
This DEMO only shows AUD, NZD, CAD and CHF, for full version please check https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/22398
How does it work?
The CSL Indicator gives you the possibility to choose from different methods, once the method is selected the Indicator will run calculations on all the 28 pairs, resulting in the overall strength across the market of individual currencies at any given moment. You can use this data to spot currencies that are strong, getting stronger, weak, getting weaker.
How to Read the Indicator
- A line going upwards means that the currency is gaining strength.
- A line pointing downwards means that the currency is becoming weak.
- A line above another one means that one currency is stronger than the other.
- Flat lines, or almost flat, represent currencies that are maintaining the current strength.
- A line above zero is likely to have a bullish trend against currencies below zero and vice versa.
If the option is enabled, the indicator will draw arrows for possible BUY or SELL signals in the current symbol. Notifications are available only in the paid version.
How to Trade with the CSL Indicator
Depending on your trading style you can use the CSL Indicator for long term and or scalping, better to confirm the entry signals with another indicator or price action.
Following the basic rules above to read the indicator you should always trade the strong against the weak so:
- Diverging lines, that is where a currency is gaining strength and the other is losing strength.
- Better when a line above zero and one below.
- BUY the STRONG and SELL the WEAK.
Why you should use the CSL Indicator?
The Currency Strength Lines Indicator is a very useful tool to:
- spot trend continuation.
- spot possible trend reversal.
- filter the pairs to trade, showing which currencies are strong and which are weak.
How to Test and Backtest
MetaTrader 4 has known limitations when it comes to backtest indicators and expert advisors involving multiple currencies so if you are trying to try the demo or backtest the indicator follow these steps:
- Open all the 28 pairs containing the 8 major currencies and the timeframe that you want to test, allow some time to download the historical data.
- Load the indicator in the strategy tester and choose your preferred parameters.
- Select a period to test that is quite recent to make sure that the historical data for all the 28 pairs is available.
