Its main goal is to identify the optimal moment to enter the current market, in which the dominant movement has already been determined at that time. That is, the indicators included in its composition, they give a signal to open positions simultaneously on a certain candle, which in turn is a signal one, and thus, taking into account the values ​​of all indicators, a position can be opened in a certain direction already on a new formed candle.

• CCI - technical trend strength indicator with period 12 and Typical price.

• ATR - indicator of the volatility of the current asset. Its period is set to 14 and the level 0.002 is added.

• Williams Percent Range - indicator that determines whether the market is overbought or oversold, and also provides an opportunity to learn about current trend reversals. Its period is 11, but additional signal levels -15, -40, -60, -85 have been added.

Conditions for Sell trades:

• The current price is lower than the Smoothed Moving Average indicator.

• The CCI indicator is below the 100 level.

• The ATR indicator line, as in the case of buy trades, should remain above its level of 0.002.

• Williams Percent Range indicator line should move down to its level -85.

After these conditions match on a certain candle, a sell trade can be opened on the candle formed after it. Stop loss should be set at the local maximum point, in the amount of at least 100 points. The trade should be closed if the Moving Average will begin to show opposite signs.
