Primal Edge is a momentum-based trend indicator designed to show when the market’s energy shifts from buying to selling and back again. It combines moving-average logic, pip tracking, and an on-chart statistics dashboard that gives instant performance feedback in real time.
How it works
The indicator uses trend calculations and momentum
When the histogram turns blue to show bullish pressure. When it moves below, the histogram turns gold to show bearish pressure.
The system tracks every signal’s pip performance — how far it moved, whether it hit the target, and the overall win and loss count.
