When a candle meets the predetermined ratio condition, the script triggers a visual marker on the chart.
The indicator works across multiple trading pairs including Forex and cryptocurrency assets like XAUUSD, BTCUSD, EURUSD, and GBPUSD. By focusing on 5-minute timeframes, the script provides rapid insights into potential market movements, enabling traders to quickly assess and respond to emerging patterns.
