Momentum (MOM) Indicator – FX Replay Guide

The Momentum (MOM) Indicator on FX Replay helps you quickly assess the speed and strength of price movements over time. It's a leading indicator that compares current price to a previous price n periods ago and is great for spotting trends, potential reversals, and confirming breakouts.

How to Use It in FX Replay:

1. Read the Indicator:
