Indicator signals

In order to determine the trend, it is needed to take into account the direction of the line, that is, if the line moves up and at the same time is colored with a growth value, then the trend is up, and if vice versa, then it is down. Then its strength should be determined, since trades made during a strong trend are more profitable. If during the ascending signal line with the growth value turned out to be higher than the line with the fall value, the current uptrend is strong, the conditions are opposite for the downtrend. And only then, if such conditions coincide on the current candle, then a trade can be opened.

- The main line of the indicator moves from bottom to top, while having a color with a growth value. This indicates the beginning of an uptrend.
- The signal lines of the indicator crossed so that the line with the value of the increase was higher than the line with the value of the fall. Thus, the strength of the uptrend is determined.
After receiving such conditions, a long position can be opened on a certain candle. It should be closed after the uptrend weakens, that is, the signal lines of the indicator cross in the opposite direction. This will mean the end of the uptrend and the beginning of the downtrend, which opens up the possibility of opening new trades.
Signal for Sell trades:
- An uptrend is determined on the market, that is, the main line of the indicator starts moving down, while turning into a color with a fall value.
- Its signal lines intersect so that the line with the value of the fall is higher than the one with the value of the growth.
After the formation of such conditions on the current candle, a sell trade can be opened, which should be closed when the signal lines cross back, that is, when the current uptrend weakens. In this case, it should be ready to open new trades.
