Signal for Buy trades:
- The indicator line moves up and has a color with a growth value. An arrow appears under the signal candle, which has a color with a growth value and points up.
After the appearance of such a combination of conditions, a long position can be opened on the candle on which the arrow appears, due to the presence of an uptrend in the market. Such a trade should be closed by placing a stop loss order under the formed arrow, after the appearance of reverse conditions from the indicator, namely after changing the color line or after the formation of the next candle. This may indicate a possible change in the current trend, which will allow considering opening new positions.
Signal for Sell trades:
- The indicator line, colored with the fall value, is moving down. An arrow with the fall value should appear on the signal candle, pointing down.
A sell trade can be opened on a signal candle, upon receipt of such conditions that characterize a downtrend in the market. Stop loss is set above the formed arrow. Such a trade should be closed after receiving the opposite conditions from the indicator, which will indicate a change in the current trend. After that, it will be possible to consider opening new trades.
