Forex Trading Strategies: Trade with The Relative Strength Index (RSI)

               The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one the most popular indicators used for trading in the financial markets.Traders use the RSI to measure the market's strength or weakness. If I can know when the market is about to post sharp gains or deep declines it will definitely assist me in my trades, whether it is forex or commodities such as gold and silver.

                 Most of the Forex traders are speculators. It means the trader that bought/sold a currency does not really wish to receive it. The speculative transaction is made in order to profit of the currency's strength or weakness. In the Forex market you can profit both from gains as well as declines. This is where the candlestick is a useful tool in providing a visual overview of the movement of a currency over the course of time.
