And consolidation or flat - can you define it yourself?
Yes, I can. You have to understand when a consolidation turns into a flat. Well, it is clear when. We need to understand the beginning of this transition.

If a trader knows how to identify the beginning of a trend/flat, then he is a millionaire!
Can you tell me the best flat indicator in your opinion? If you don't mind, you can post it here or in person.
I may say from personal experience that the algorithm for determining the flat is not an easy thing. The mechanism is quite complex and cannot be mastered by beginners. If we do something simple, we get nonsense that does not work properly. But you should try it))
I've never heard of a flat indicator.
I'm in the process of developing a similar indicator. I'll show you what I've got as soon as I get the results.

Prototype:
Not bad, but it looks more like a sideways flop. And how did you formulate the criteria for a flat? Can you describe it in words?
So far, it's simple. Specific height (no more than 100pp) and specific length (no less than 35 candles).
I see. I would suggest narrowing the range for the flat and checking the candle volume. It has to be low too, otherwise it's already consolidation.

Low in relation to what?
For volume, I think it would be difficult to write a criterion... In any case, the volume filter is not the primary concern at the moment.
