Indicator «StopSell_v.3.0» belongs to a very specific group of indicators – so called anti-indicators. Their aim is not generation of trading signals, but generation of anti-signals – detection of time intervals when trading is not allowed because of a number of technical contraindications.

Despite the importance, indicators of this type are very rare. Nevertheless they are quite vital. Here are some examples:

Example 1. Sells on the bottom of downtrend before its reverse and start of the correction. Technical indicators like averages and trend indicators in this situation will generate sell signals. But sells on the bottom usually end with sufficient losses. As the result, even trading in trend can generate losses.

Example 2. Sells in the overbought zones. They look like very good trading opportunities. But in case of strong uptrend this can result significant losses.
As can be seen, strong sell signals do not necessarily mean earnings and sometimes even can lead to critical losses.

To avoid such situations anti-indicators can be used. For example indicator «StopSell_v.3.0» generates signals which forbid sell trades.

Signals from indicator «StopSell_v.3.0» are the result of analysis of information from different technical indicators trend and oscillatory nature as well as information from averages.

Indicator structure

Indicator consists of the following elements:
- green zone – signals about the absence of ban for sell trades. Is not a sell signal, so green zone shouldn’t be associated with ideal conditions for sell trades;
- red zone – shows moments when sell trades are forbidden. The most typical situations are strong overbought, presence of strong downtrend and other contraindications;
- channel lines – show price value which will not be exceeded during current time frame with probability up to 70% (this probability can be increase by adjusting «Number of deviations» parameter);
- level line (red/blue line) – shows the most likely point of price reverse. Depends on type of reverse it can be colored red (level of resistance) or blue (level of support;
- trend line (red/blue line) – shows the direction of current price dynamics using the data filtration.

Rules of trading

Rules of trading are quite easy. The presence of forbidden sign (current price is in the red zone) sell trades are not allowed. The presence of allowing sign (current price is in the green zone) is not a sell signal, this is just information that there is no ban for sell trades.
