This indicator is very good and opens up many possibilities. It is not an indicator that gives you direct entry signals, but it shows you context and direction. It has many uses, from higher timeframes and opening with signals from lower timeframes in the same direction of the indicator, to, for example, using the 5-minute timeframe and opening when the range breaks in some direction. In short, very good and useful as a complement to many strategies.
