Such companies usually offer the industry’s most competitive trading conditions along with innovative solution and constant improvement.
ActivTrades, a major UK-based Forex broker, is one of such companies. It is not accidental that awarded it with the “Best UK Forex Broker 2012” title last year. Obviously, the broking company is a TOP member of ’s unbiased rating of Forex brokers .

SmartForecast
This module is one of the most advanced technical analysis tools available in MetaTrader4. Bringing together chart retracements and market trend analysis, this indicator offers a simple overview of markets.
SmartForecast automatically calculates both short and long-term resistance and support. It also indicates volatility levels and market trends. Particularly important, however, is that it gives you a price evolution scenario with three targets which change in real time.

This tool uses some of the SmartTemplate technology and is already an essential indicator for the MetaTrader 4 platform.
The SmartForecast interface
Market Strength – This measures current market volatility while taking into account average volatility.
Daily Market Trend – This examines the strength of the daily market trend.
Average Line (yellow) – This line represents average values calculated on the basis of the last 100 values in the graph (long-term average line) and the last 50 values in the chart (short-term average line).
Support Line (blue) – This line is calculated from the average values in the chart and represents the lower line, the support price. The long-term line is calculated on the basis of the last 100 values in the chart. The short-term support line is calculated using the last 50 values in the chart.
Resistance Line (red) – This line is calculated from the average values in the chart and represents the upper line, the resistance price. The long-term line is calculated on the basis of the last 100 values in the chart. The short-term resistance line is calculated using the last 50 values in the chart.

Functions
The SmartForecast gives you three consecutive target prices. Please note that their places on the chart are not indicative of the time that those prices will be reached and can be reached at any time.
Price 1 is calculated using the short-term resistance and support lines. Price 2 is calculated using the long-term resistance and support lines and Price 3 is calculated based on the assumption that Price 2 has been confirmed.
Although SmartForecast gives the best investment scenarios when looking at the long term, you can also use it for short-term forecasts.
SmartForecast is available only to ActivTrades clients. If you are not one of our clients yet, you can open a 30-day demo account and test SmartForecast.
