The concept of using the Fibo S indicator is very simple, since the method of its application, despite the way the calculations are reproduced, is absolutely identical to other histogram indicators. That is, the current market trend, taking into account which a trade is opened, is determined using some indicator factors. Namely, using color and the location of the histogram bars relative to level 0, while their size will indicate the strength of the current trend. And thus, if the trend is up, long positions are opened, if the trend is down, short positions are opened.
Signal for Buy trades:
- At least three columns of the histogram have a color with a growth value and are located above level 0. At the same time, with each column, their size increases.
Upon receipt of such conditions, a buy trade can be opened on a signal bullish candle, due to the presence of an uptrend in the market. Such a trade should be closed after at least one indicator bar drops below the 0 level, and before that the histogram acquires a different color. At this moment it should be prepared for a change in the current trend and the opening of new trades, respectively.
Signal for Sell trades:
- At least three bars of the histogram must be below level 0 and have a color with a falling value. In addition, each new bar must be lower than the previous one.
Upon receipt of such a combination of conditions, a sell trade can be opened on a signal bearish candle with a strong downtrend. It is recommended to close the trade after at least one bar of the histogram rises above the 0 level, before that, the histogram will change its color. At this point, it should be considered opening of new trades, caused by a change in the current trend.
