This tool features a straightforward visual design, categorizing false breakouts as either Internal or External. Moreover, newly formed highs are labeled as "HH" and lows as "LL," with green lines connecting these key points. These green lines act similarly to a ZigZag pattern, assisting in trend visualization.
