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.
