Input Parameters:
L
(default = 50) — Indicator period. A higher value results in fewer signals but with improved quality.
PriceType
(default = 1) — The type of price used in the calculation. The closing price is generally more suitable for daily/weekly periods, while high/low prices are better for short-term periods. (0 — Close price, 1 — High/Low).
Recommendations:
The indicator displays two lines. When the green line reaches the zero point moving upwards, it signifies a bullish breakthrough of a local maximum. When the red line reaches the zero point moving downwards, it signals a bearish breakthrough of a local minimum. A larger distance from the zero level indicates a lower probability of a false breakthrough.
