For example, if the indicator shows that the daily high level is at 1.2000 and the daily low level is at 1.1900, a trader can use these levels to set a stop-loss at 1.1900 and a take-profit at 1.2000 for a long position. Similarly, if the indicator shows that the weekly high level is at 1.2200 and the weekly low level is at 1.1900, a trader can use these levels to identify potential entry and exit points for a swing trade.
Another effective way to use this custom High Low Indicator is with breakout trading strategies. Breakout traders look for price movements that break through key support or resistance levels, signaling a potential trend reversal or continuation. If the current price is approaching a key resistance level identified by the indicator, the trader may choose to enter a long position in anticipation of a breakout. Conversely, if the price is approaching a key support level, the trader may choose to enter a short position in anticipation of a breakdown.
