How it works

The algorithm begins by calculating a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a selected period of 5, 10, or 20 candles. It then identifies positive and negative price zones by comparing the current closing price to the SMA, determining whether the price is above or below the moving average.

When transitioning between these zones, the algorithm detects potential turning points by tracking the lowest highs in positive zones and highest lows in negative zones. These turning points are then connected with lines, creating a visual representation of price trend dynamics and potential support and resistance levels.

Why it may be useful

This signal provides traders with a systematic approach to understanding price movements and trend reversals. By dynamically tracking price zones relative to the SMA, it offers insights into potential market sentiment shifts and momentum changes.

The algorithm's ability to connect turning points helps traders visualize price trends more effectively, making it easier to identify entry and exit points. Its flexible SMA period selection allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading styles.

When to explore it

The signal is most effective in markets with clear trend movements and moderate volatility. It works particularly well in short-term trading scenarios where quick identification of trend changes can provide a competitive advantage.

Traders should consider using this signal during periods of consistent price action, such as during trending markets or when trading instruments with relatively stable price characteristics. It is especially useful for technical analysts seeking a dynamic tool to complement other trend-following strategies.
