How the GBP Strength Index Indicator Works

The indicator plots the GBP index as a line in a separate window, representing the overall strength of the currency:

The slope and angle of the line indicate the trend direction. Traders can use the index in combination with other currency indexes to determine potential trading setups.

3. Enter Trades:
   • Buy GBPUSD when GBP shows strength and the counter currency shows weakness.
