Break Lines

Break Lines

The indicator draws lines the the price highs and lows. Break through the high or low usually indicates trend change (or continuation). Once the price moves through a line, and the candlestick closes, the indicator draws an appropriate arrow (also, you can enable alerts). A deal should be conducted in the breakthrough direction immediately or after a slight rollback. It is best to trade following the trend on a larger timeframe. This indicator is easy to use, but nevertheless, there are many trading strategies, which are based on a breakthrough of the trading range.

The number of candlesticks used to determine the high and low of the trading range can be adjusted.
