About IX Power
Before you trade an index, a metal or a crypto, you want one clear answer: is it genuinely strong right now, or genuinely weak? IX Power reads the strength of whatever instrument is on your chart and gives you that answer as a single number on a standardized -50 to +50 scale, measured against the instrument's own recent behavior: the same calculation engine that powers FX Power, applied to everything outside the forex majors.
Key Features
- Strength scale of -50 to +50, consistent across every supported instrument type
- Auto-detection of instrument type: attach it to any index, metal or crypto chart and it identifies the category on its own
- The same calculation engine as FX Power: the same strength methodology, applied to non-forex instruments
- Panel showing the current power value in a clean numeric and visual readout
- Heatmap background for fast directional reading at a glance
- Power alerts for strength and weakness thresholds: get notified when an instrument crosses into or out of meaningful territory
- Custom alias support for instruments with broker-specific naming
- Runs on MetaTrader 5 as a self-contained indicator, attach it and it works
How traders use it
A trader who monitors DAX and gold alongside their forex book opens IX Power on each relevant chart. When gold posts a strength reading above +30, they start looking for long setups; when it sits below -20, short setups get the attention. The strength number sets the directional bias before the trader has drawn a single line on the chart.
For index traders, IX Power separates the days worth trading from the days worth watching. A flat strength reading near zero on a major index is the signal to save your risk for a market that is actually moving.
Supported markets
Stock indices, metals, crypto, and other non-forex instruments such as oil and single-stock CFDs. MT5 only. Analysis periods run from 10 minutes to 3 years, plus custom configurations, the same range as FX Power.
Getting started
Attach IX Power to a chart of any supported instrument and it detects the instrument category automatically. Set your strength and weakness alert thresholds to match the readings you treat as actionable. The walkthrough at https://youtu.be/UuvfKoazuq8 covers setup and how to read the strength scale for entry timing.

Three instances of FX Power NG on different timeframes reveal when short-term pullbacks are ending within a strong long-term trend. The 1-week trend sets direction, the 1-day and 4-hour trends act like dogs on a leash - they deviate, but always return. Entry comes when the short-term line snaps back toward the long-term baseline.

Wait for the 1-week trend to establish direction, then watch the 4-hour instance for a counter-move into extreme territory. When the short-term line crosses back over zero, the long-term trend is resuming - that is your entry.

Works great with
FX Power runs alongside IX Power when you trade both forex and non-forex instruments, and the two share the same engine, so the readings are methodologically consistent. Power Candles uses the same IX Power logic to color candlesticks on index, metal and crypto charts, putting the strength reading directly onto the price chart. And once IX Power has flagged an instrument worth trading, Premium Trade Manager is where you place and manage it. Fast, precise execution that stays in your hands.
