The Hourly analysis provided an early indication of potential opportunities with the pairs shown above. The pairs continued to offer trading opportunities throughout the remainder of the European and US session (09/04/2010).

Traders should not blindly enter trades based on this indicator alone.
We recommend using this indicator in conjunction with the FX AlgoTrader Market Flow indicator , the FX AlgoTrader Pivots Bundle V2 and for traders looking for additional automation the FX AlgoTrader Pivots Scanner V1.
