Trend Strength Index (TSI) – FX Replay Guide

The Trend Strength Index (TSI) in FX Replay is a momentum oscillator designed to confirm trend quality and support trade management decisions. It’s best used to track the health of a move rather than to trigger entries on its own.

How to Add It:

• Open the Indicators panel in FX Replay
• Search for “Trend Strength Index” or “TSI”
• Apply it to your chart and adjust the smoothing settings based on your trading style (e.g., short-term vs swing trading)

How to Use TSI in FX Replay:

Trend Confirmation:

• In an uptrend, rising TSI supports trend continuation
• In a downtrend, falling TSI supports bearish continuation
• Use this to hold positions longer or avoid early exits during trends

Zero-Line Crossovers:

• Above 0 = bullish momentum bias → manage or add to long trades
• Below 0 = bearish momentum bias → manage or add to short trades
• Use crossovers to filter trades when aligned with price action or session timing

Combining with Other Tools:

• Pair with SMMA or RSI for bias validation
• Combine with volume spikes or FVG zones to improve entry/exit timing
• Use TSI as a confirmation layer during session setups like Silver Bullet or liquidity breaks

Adjusting to Volatility:

• In fast-moving markets, increase TSI’s lookback to smooth out noise
• Backtest various settings to better match the volatility profile of your asset

Pro Tip:

In FX Replay, use TSI as your trend health monitor. If you’re already in a trade:

• TSI rising while price makes higher highs → consider holding or scaling in
• TSI flattening or falling → look for exit triggers or tighten stops

Use TSI for journaling failed setups where momentum didn’t confirm to analyze whether it impacted trade outcome.
