Recommended trading strategy

·         Apply the indicator to D1 or H4 chart for any product.

·         Look at the past few block and the current trend block to determine the trend

·         When trend is confirmed, place pending order at the TrendClose price and place stop loss at TrendOpen price of the current block or the suggest stop loss, which is shown as yellow dot. If the order is triggered, you may move the stop loss to the TrendOpen price of the newest block.
