The indicator is one of those hidden gems that does exactly what it promises—identify turning points in the market with clarity and flexibility. I love that it offers three different detection modes, which gives you the freedom to adapt the tool to your own strategy and timeframe. Yes, it does repaint (like most tools of this nature), but that’s not a dealbreaker—you’re not meant to trade it blindly. Used smartly, especially alongside other confirmation tools, it becomes a powerful filter to spot potential reversals, swing highs/lows, or wave structure formations. Setup is super easy, and the visual arrows make chart analysis clean and intuitive. For a free indicator, the value is outstanding. And if you’re into fractal-wave or price action pattern trading, this tool makes life so much easier. Whether you're a beginner trying to understand market swings, or a more advanced trader looking to fine-tune entries and exits, this indicator deserves a place in your toolbox. Simple, smart, and highly practical.
