The KOT (Keep On Trading) indicator shows time for holding a position. For example, if we have an open buy position, the indicator draws a line below the price, which means you can keep the position open. As soon as the line begins to disappear, you can apply your preferable trailing method to move the stop order to the open price of the previous candlestick or to the price of the indicator line.
