Overview of the Indicator
The indicator evaluates a sequence of three consecutive candles, marking the middle candle with the lowest low as a Short-Term Low (STL). Intermediate-Term Lows (ITL) are determined based on significant price movements observed in higher timeframes.
By identifying these levels, traders can better understand price trends and optimize trade execution while minimizing risk.
Indicator in an Uptrend
In the following CAD/CHF 1-hour chart, the price moves downward after breaking Short-Term Lows (STL) and Intermediate-Term Lows (ITL), eventually reaching the Long-Term Low (LTL). At this point, a reversal to the upside takes place.
Traders looking for long entries may position their stop-loss orders below the Long-Term Low (LTL) for added security.
Indicator in a Downtrend
On the 15-minute DOGE/USD chart, after the price breached several lows and touched the Long-Term Low, a minor upward movement occurred, but the price failed to establish higher highs.
As a result, when the Long-Term Low was broken, the bearish trend continued. This indicator provides traders with opportunities to enter short positions and refine their risk assessment strategies.
