Trend Strength Indicator (MT5) - Free Download - Best Forex Indicators

Introduction to the Trend Strength Indicator

The Trend Strength indicator uses custom calculations based on the Relative Strength Index to determine the direction of the trend.

The indicator is displayed in a separate window placed just below the main trading chart.

You will find three lines: gray Smoothed RSI, blue UpTrend line, and red DnTrend line.

Obviously, when the Smoothed RSI is above the blue UpTrend – there is an upward trend. Similarly, when the Smoothed RSI is below the red DnTrend – there is a downward trend.

It fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs.

The default indicator settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.

Bottom Line

The Trend Strength indicator is well worth adding to your trading collection but remember about having realistic expectations.

Its performance will vary significantly depending on market conditions. Feel free to develop your own trading system based around it.
