This represents a closing above the high or below the low of the previous bar. Typically, a series of 3-5 external closings indicates a potential flat or price reversal.

This occurs when a bar closes in the same direction as the previous bar, suggesting the end of a short-term trend.
Line Values:
Each line's value represents the number of bars in its respective series.

- Utilize this indicator on older timeframes alongside other indicators for comprehensive analysis.
- Consider closing or defending positions when a series of 3-4 external closings occur.
- When a series of 4 or more closings appear, it may be prudent to close or defend the deal.
Note: External and single-direction bar series do not signal reversals but indicate the termination of the current short-term trend.
