How to use the Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator 📊
The Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator uses fractal geometry to check the efficiency of price movements, helping traders identify trends and potential reversals.
📈 A PFE value above zero indicates efficient upward movement, suggesting a potential bullish price action.
📉 A PFE value below zero indicates efficient downward movement, hinting at a potential bearish trend.
👉 When looking for a good trade, look for divergences between PFE and the price. If the price is making new highs and the PFE is not, it may signal weakening momentum and a potential reversal, and vice versa.
✔️ Use PFE with other indicators to confirm trends. Higher absolute PFE values suggest stronger trends, while lower values indicate weaker trends or sideways movements.
