Markets & Products

Here is the watchlist of markets and products that the signals cover:

For the signals, I usually include the name and ticker of the product when posting a chart, however for the real-time alerts usually only the ticker symbol is posted, so to find out what the product is, you can simply key it into the search bar of TradingView.

These are the different combinations of the main currencies: EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, USD, CHF, CAD, JPY, SGD.
