Best Combination of Technical Indicators

To create the best xauusd indicator combination for your xauusd trading strategy you will need to know about the various different types of indicators and know how you can combine these indicators to come up with a xauusd trading strategy.

Indicators are used identify xauusd price trends, analyze momentum of price trends so as to try and predict the next likely xauusd market price movement direction.

Because each xauusd indicator calculates and interprets xauusd price moves differently using different methods of calculation xauusd traders will usually combine two or three xauusd technical indicators so as to come up with a xauusd trading strategy that uses a number of different calculation techniques from different xauusd technical indicators so as to generate xauusd trading signals not from only one xauusd technical indicator but from 2 or 3 indicators and using this strategy a trader will only open a xauusd trade once all the indicators give a xauusd signal in the same direction.

A good xauusd technical indicator combination should include different xauusd indicators based on the following types of indicators:

Trend Following Trading Indicators

Trend indicators are used to determine if a xauusd instrument is moving within a xauusd trend or not & also to determine the direction of the trend.

Trend Following Indicators XAUUSD Indicator Examples: Trend Lines, Moving Averages, Bollinger Band indicators

Momentum Technical Indicators

XAUUSD momentum indicators are used to determine momentum of the current xauusd trend - these momentum xauusd indicators are used by traders to analyze the strength of the current xauusd trend so as to determine if a xauusd trader should open a xauusd trade or not based on the momentum of the current xauusd trend.

Momentum Indicators XAUUSD Indicator Examples: RSI, ADX, MACD indicators

Based on these two indicator categories a trader can come up with a xauusd indicator based xauusd trading strategy that will have the following indicators:

Moving Averages XAUUSD TradingIndicator RSI MACD

By using different xauusd indicators xauusd traders will get different information about the price movement and thus xauusd trading signals generated using this method will have better information about xauusd price trading signals because the indicators used do not analyze xauusd price in the same manner and instead the technical indicators used analyze xauusd price information differently and therefore using this xauusd trading strategy generates xauusd trading signals using a combination of different xauusd indicators that use different xauusd price information to generate signals.

For the above xauusd indicator based xauusd trading strategy the Moving averages will be used to define and identify the trend while the RSI and MACD indicators will be used to determine the strength of the current xauusd trend.

If all the three xauusd indicators give a xauusd trading signal in the same direction then a trader can open a xauusd trade base on the direction of the trend and the momentum of the trend.

For example a buy signal & a sell trading signal can be generated when

Buy Trading Signal

MA indicator is heading upward
RSI indicator value is above 50 centerline mark
MACD indicator is above the zero center line mark

Sell Trading Signal

Moving Average indicator is heading downward
RSI indicator value is below 50 centerline mark
MACD indicator is below the zero center line mark
