I'm using this platform from sometime and I carry out trading on Gold, using a kind of scalping strategy.
Scalping is not an easy task to do. Personally I found a lot of problems while detecting the trend direction.
So I decided to develop an indicator that is capable, in a discrete way, to give an instant-view on the market that is interesting.
This indicator can summarize in a small table all interesting figures related to gold scalping trading and is useful while joined with technical and fundamental analysis.
In this way it is possible to easy take under control all important aspects related to gold trading that I summarize here and you can find inside the table:
1) Gold / USD current direction
2) USD dollar strength (instant DXY) indicator take under consideration the DXY value every each tick and measures the increase or decrease in percentage. If there is a decrease the indicator displays a red low arrow, if there is an increase the indicator displays a green high arrow
also Gold friends are important so it is possible to find also:
3) NZDUSD (that is a Gold friend) variation percentage. If there is a decrease the indicator displays a red low arrow, if there is an increase the indicator displays a green high arrow
4) AUDUSD (that is a Gold friend) variation percentage. If there is a decrease the indicator displays a red low arrow, if there is an increase the indicator displays a green high arrow
then it is possible to find DXY USD dollar strength calculated between previous period (e.g. in timeframe M5 last 5 minutes) and current period (current 5 minutes). This indication is represented by an high arrow if there has been an increase, or by an low arrow if there has been a decrease.
Last but not least the information about the Gold trend itself with the possible forecast for the current period. This information must be carefully interpreted together with other instruments for technical analysis like Fibonacci lines.
