123 PATTERN DAY TRADER REVIEW

Day signal ultra – is a moving average based indicator that helps smooth out price action data and determine the market trend.
If the price is above the day signal ultra , the color of this band will change to white, and if the price is below the day signal ultra , the color of this indicator will turn red.
The slope of the day signal ultra is very important for determining the strength of the trend. If the price is above this indicator and the slope is up, then only traders should look for long trades, and if the price is below the day signal ultra and the slope of this indicator is down, then traders should look for short trades.

Day look – is another trend-following indicator that plots a histogram higher or lower depending on the difference between long-term and short-term moving averages.

• If the histogram is below the zero line, prices are in a downtrend, and if the histogram is above the zero lines, then the price is moving in an uptrend.
• If the price is above the daily ultra Day look signal and the Day Exp indicators form a red histogram, it means that prices are in the retracement zone after the uptrend.
• If the price is below the daily ultra Day look signal and the Day Exp indicators form a white histogram, this means that prices are in the retracement zone after the downtrend.

Support and resistance levels are used to enter a trend. If this trading system generates a buy signal and the price is trading near support, it is possible to buy with a stop loss below the support zone.
