About The Trading Indicators

The HalfTrend-1.02 custom indicator defines reversal within the market, and it does so by combining an upward dodgerblue upward facing arrow along with a downward spiked line place below price bars to signal a buy, while a downward pointing red arrow with an upward spiked line aligned above price signals a sell.

The buysell5secret custom indicator deploys a triple alert system to confirm a signal i.e. an arrow in the chart window, color change on the indicator line and another arrow attached to the line indicator within the indicator window.
