FFI - Forex Fundamental Indicator

Hi traders,

I´m here to ask you, trader, if actually you are using some kind of fundamental indicator. I know that there´s tons of technical indicators out there, but i never see any type of electronic fundamental indicator.

If you think that could be a good thing to have an fundamental indicator, please let me know. But if you think it´s not necessary, tell me too. I would appreciate your opinion.

Regards
Ash

Fundamental information is stored in your head during economics education my friend.

Fundamental information is stored in your head ? What about the release of news ? Can you handle and search for patterns between tons of news ? Maybe, but don´t you think that with an indicator it could be more easily ? Fundamental Knowlodgement is stored in your head, but the information are up to date each and every so could´n be good if we get an indicator to help us to track the impact of the news on the market ?

I´m not talking about understand the market, it´s should be done by the trader. And i´m not saying that the indicator should take decisions, the trader does.

I´m talking about visual indicators, for example, the news are good for the euro today and bad to the dollar the indicators says, so maybe the dollar could go up against the euro.

What about ... the news of the entire year says that the dollar maybe should rise ... and thinks like that.

Like i said, i see a lot of technical information, but i don´t see much fundamental information, only the economic calendar. Actually we can read the fundamental information, but can we make calculations with what we read, like we do with MACD for example ?

I could be very wrong.

Thanks for commenting

If I understand you correctly, FF's calendar has already implement a fancy "indicator" for you.

Hi, i have got the fundamental data on a CSV file, and i have brought this data into an indicator, and the indicator is working well in the real time. However when i want to use this indicator in a simple expert and test it in previous time, it gives an error that the indicator can’t open the file [ERR_CANNOT_OPEN_FILE (4103)]. Although the indicator is working properly in my real time I can’t use it in optimization.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me solve this problem and I could use my fundamental indicator in Expert Advisor.
tnx

I am not sure if we are thinking along the same lines as you are not specific. However it is possible to make a visual representation of economic (fundamental) data and apply technical analysis methods on them. You can apply for example, moving averages on jobs reports, GDP numbers etc. and make "predictions" about them. This kind of analysis are not readily available but it is easy to do them yourself on excel.

edit : just realized this is a very old thread. lol
