The TTF within the TTF Indicator Metatrader 4 forex indicator stands for Trend Trigger factor, and is an indicator that is similar to the RSI indicator.
The TTF Indicator Metatrader 4 forex indicator was introduced in the December 2004 edition of the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine by M. H. Pee.
Originally, the TTF Indicator was deployed as a trend identification tool in the stock exchange and commodities market, but its scope has since widened to include the forex markets.
Basically, a buy signal is generated when the value of the TTF Indicator is above -100, while the overall sentiment thus stays bullish when the indicator line is above the zero center line.
On the other hand, a sell signal is initiated when the value of the TTF Indicator is below +100, while sustaining a general bearish sentiment when it is below the zero center line.
