Master/Last Candle

Master/Followers: Master candle is defined as the start of a trend (bullish/bearish) and followed by a series of candles in the same direction (bullish/bearish) called followers.
Last/Reversals: Last candle is defined as the end of a trend (bullish/bearish) and followed by a series of candles in the opposite direction (bearish/bullish) called reversals.
This indicator marks master/last candle, whether it is master or last depending on the breakout direction of the next candle. Next, we have to look for support (medium/low) and resistance (medium/high) to determine the target, which is not covered here. Remember that, target must cover sell-buy spread or commission offered by broker. When the two points are taken into considered, it is that time to decide making a trade (buy/sell) or not.
Detailed prices at entry and stop loss are included in alerts.

• Minor change in condition to be a Cx master/last candle.
• Important note added to the original description: There is sometime when the market is in ranging mode, the buy/sell zone has only one bar. We have two options when falling into this situation.

• o One, use the stop loss suggested in the alert to exit the trade, life is still wonderful and we absolutely have no problem with a trade of very little loss.
  
• o Two, however, in my own observation so far, we will not regret if following this popup one-time signal as there would be profitable time after that, at least within the same timeframe of the signal. Strictly follow the market, do not leave the screen and exit the trade at the profitable time with low profit expectation, we would be safe and have a comfortable day amidst the ever-changing market.

Add Status Table 4x3: Volatility measures (Average True Range ATR, Standard Deviation STD, Max True Range MaxTR) for stop price and limit price.

Phát hành các Ghi chú:

Add super-type X master candle. A super-type master candle only depends on the very basic condition of price changes between itself and the benchmark candle, i.e., it does not depend on other conditions such as volume or BHR/height of the benchmark candle. When a super-type master candle appears, no matter what we choose the channel calculation (ML/MLPP1/MLPP2), only ML is applied.

Phát hành các Ghi chú:

• Add super-type Y master candle. While a super-type X master candle requires a lower high for absolutely bearish and a higher low for absolutely bullish, a super-type Y master candle only requires a strongly lower low for bearish and a strongly higher high for bullish.
• When a super-type master candle (X, Y) appears, Min Price Breakout % also does not affect the calculation of the buy/sell zone.
• Change the default value of Stop Price from 2 to 1 (ATR).

Add information ‘Strong Candle When TR > ATR’ (Volatility), shown in Status Table 4x3.
