Trade signals on the Market Facilitation Index indicator

If you had orders set in the direction of the movement, then it is worth to think about exiting the market.

3. If. Market Facilitation Index grew upand the market volume at the same time droppedThe price changes only due to the speculation of intermediaries (brokersThe traders do not support the instrument. In the absence of interest from the main market participants it is hardly worth trading the selected asset.
