True Strength Index (TSI) Forex Trading Technical Analysis & TSI Signals

Trend Strength Indicator - TSI Indicator - True Trend Indicator

Developed by William Blau

True Strength Index is a momentum indicator. The TSI is plotted by using a momentum calculation that reacts faster and is more responsive to price changes, making it a leading indicator that follows price action direction closely in the forex market.

The True Strength Index is plotted as a blue line, the indicator also plots a signal line which is plotted as a red line, and these two lines are used to generate crossover signals.

True Strength Index also plots a histogram which shows the difference between the TSI Line and the Signal line. This histogram crosses above or below the center lines, histogram levels above the center line shows a bullish crossover signal, while center line levels below the center line shows a bearish crossover signal.
