introduction:i want to share with you this story. when i started trading, i learnt the scalping strategy in a volatile market. i really loved scalping especially when i see the price is moving fast. however, scalping for a long period of time is exhausting to me especially in a volatile market; volatile market requires fast analysis, actions and reactions; that is why i always reach a point that i loss concentration, focus and i start making those really stupid mistakes.
that is why i created this indicator that helped me to automatically identify these potential entries (based on the formation of candlesticks) instead of doing all the work myself. i know there are plenty of metatraders who also suffer from this and that is why i would like to share this indicator with you, hopefully it will be beneficial.
