Thus, if the trend is upward, long positions are opened, while if the trend is downward, short positions are opened. In both cases, trades are closed at the moment of a trend change.

- The indicator lines move up and the current candle closes above the middle line, while crossing the upper border of the channel. A point with a growth value should appear above the candles.
When a full combination of such conditions is received on a candle, confirmed by the indicator signal, a buy trade can be opened. At this moment, an uptrend is determined in the market. It should be closed the trade when the current trend changes, at the moment they change direction. At this moment, it should be prepared to open new trades.
Signal Sell trades:
- The indicator lines are directed from top to bottom. The current candle should be below the middle line of the indicator, touching the lower line of the indicator. At this moment, a color point with a falling value should form.
A sell trade can be opened when such conditions are received on a candle with a signal. At this moment, a downtrend is detected in the market. The trade should be closed at the moment the direction of the indicator lines changes. At this moment, the current trend is expected to change, which will allow considering the opening new trades.
