Example and Strategy
Although the usage of this indicator is straightforward, it is recommended to buy or sell only when all indicators signal the same direction on your chosen timeframe and both neighboring timeframes. For example, go long on the M30 timeframe only if all indicators signal BUY on M30 and in both M15 and H1 timeframes.
