About the FX5 Self Adjusting RSI
The FX5 Self Adjusting RSI for MT4 is a refined momentum indicator designed to improve traditional RSI performance in live market conditions.
Instead of using fixed parameters, this indicator adapts dynamically to price behavior.
This adjustment helps reduce lag and improves signal timing, especially during changing volatility.
The indicator is built around three lines.
A blue signal line reacts to price movement, while red and green trigger lines define overbought and oversold zones.
When price momentum shifts, the signal line crosses these trigger levels and produces trade signals. This makes the FX5 Self Adjusting RSI practical and easy to read.
One of its main advantages is flexibility.
While classic RSI tools struggle during strong trends, this version adjusts its sensitivity to better align with current conditions.
It works best when combined with a trend indicator, allowing traders to filter signals and avoid counter-trend entries.

FX5 RSI + Gann Trend Oscillator MTF Scalping Strategy for MT4
This scalping system combines the power of the FX5 Self Adjusting RSI Indicator for MT and the Gann Trend Oscillator MTF Indicator for MT4.
It is designed for short-term traders who want clear, rule-based entries and exits without complex analysis.
By blending RSI’s adaptive momentum signals with Gann’s multi-timeframe trend confirmation, traders can identify high-probability scalping opportunities across volatile forex pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, or XAUUSD.

Combining these two signals allows scalpers to filter out false entries and stay aligned with the underlying market flow.
