Trading Strategy
The indicator operates on a Trend Following strategy with two core components:

Trend Filter (SuperTrend):
The SuperTrend line acts as a compass to determine the market's primary direction.
UPTREND: Confirmed when the price is above the SuperTrend line (blue).
DOWNTREND: Confirmed when the price is below the SuperTrend line (red). -
Trading Signals (Heiken Ashi Logic):
The indicator uses a hidden Heiken Ashi algorithm to calculate and detect shifts in price momentum (the algorithm can be customized via the 'period for EMA smoothing' input).
The result is visually displayed as BUY (blue) and SELL (orange) arrows on the chart.
Core Strategy: Trade in the direction of the main trend identified by the SuperTrend. Only enter a trade when the buy/sell signal from the Heiken Ashi logic aligns with the trend direction.
