recommendations:
unfortunately, this indicator redraws on the current bar, so it can not be used to enter the position at the current bar. the previous bars are not redrawn and can be used as signals for entry. although this is a fairly accurate indicator, it also generates a lot of false signals, but with the help of moderate levels of stop loss it is possible to avoid serious losses. it is also important to exit the position immediately after the trend ends.
