This indicator is based on Linda Bradford Rashkes First Cross system.
Normally trend based systems follow the trend from beginning to end, but this indicator instead selects a piece of the trend. This approach can be a very reliable alternative way of trading a trend.
It waits for the 1st move to become exhausted then enters in anticipation of a sudden surge. The trend if found using a faster momentum indicator. When we get a cross on the 2nd oscillation we get our signal. Hence we capture a piece of the trend.

I am still working with this indicator. It has not been a "bread winner" so to speak, but the concept is good. The Vendor has tried to solve a few issues and I appreciate that. He immediately addressed a bug. The indicator is not very flexible in terms of changing colors. Most people I know have traditionally used blue for demand and red for supply. Not a game changer, and I try to change the colors but they change back to the default. I would like to come back with a revised review in the future if things change. The indicator does not put out alot of signals which is good, but it misses quite a few as well. The indicator did not break the bank and I always appreciate a fair price.
