How it Works
Layer 1 – Individual Indicator Triggers
When an indicator shifts to a bullish state (rising or above zero), its trigger is set to the high of that candle. Conversely, when it turns bearish (falling or below zero), its trigger is set to the low of that candle.
An indicator's state is confirmed as BUY or SELL only when a candle closes beyond its trigger, provided the condition remains valid. If an indicator flips to the opposite state, its pending trigger is canceled, and a new one is created upon its subsequent flip. A neutral reading (e.g., Chop Zone without a color indication) maintains the current state.
Layer 2 – General Trigger
When all enabled indicators are in a BUY state (or all in a SELL state), the high (or low) of that candle is stored as the general trigger.
The signal is activated only when a candle closes above that high (or below that low) AND all enabled indicators maintain their BUY (or SELL) state on the same candle. Candles are then painted green for buys or red for sells until an opposite signal is confirmed.
The general trigger is discarded solely when all indicators confirm the opposite trend.
All calculations are performed on closed candles exclusively, ensuring no repainting. Entry and exit levels are visualized as dotted lines, and an on-chart panel displays the vote count, current state, and trigger for each indicator.
This indicator is particularly effective during the initial two hours after the market open for Nikkei 225, DAX, and S&P 500, as well as during prolonged volatility events.
