Definition and Key Features¶
This group of indicators in cTrader encompasses a diverse set of technical analysis tools that do not fit neatly into the standard categories of trend, oscillator, volatility or volume indicators. These tools often combine unique methods or specialised calculations, offering insights into market conditions, price equilibrium or trend shifts from various perspectives. These indicators may analyse a combination of price, averages or specific market patterns, providing traders with a non-traditional approach to assessing market behaviour and refining entry or exit strategies.
Popular Indicators¶
Notable indicators in this group include the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, a multi-faceted tool providing trend, support and resistance information. The Alligator indicator uses multiple moving averages to indicate potential trend changes, while the Center of Gravity and Median Price indicators give insight into mean price levels. Other indicators like Fractals identify potential turning points, while tools such as the Typical Price and Weighted Close average specific price points for a balanced view of price action.
Application and Interpretation¶
Traders utilise these indicators to add unique perspectives to their analysis, often combining them with other standard indicators for a more comprehensive view. These indicators provide alternative ways to view price movements, volatility or support/resistance levels, allowing traders to refine their strategies and adapt to varying market conditions with additional tools tailored for specific insights.
