Market Scanner will then display signals of various strengths depending on the bias of the indicators selected.
The more indicators that have a bias in the same direction, the stronger the signal will appear on the Scanner.
If indicators contrast with each other, this will result in a weaker signal or no signal.
Finally, Market Scanner will display the strongest 5 signals generated by the scan. If there are more than 5
products that have signals with the same strength, they will be displayed according to their popularity with
FXCM clients.
By clicking the “Details” button, the user can see which indicators signaled buy or sell individually.
