How to Trade:

Best way to use this indicator is with Support and Resistance or TDI Indicator. Or any other indicator which validates strong trend and price is not near an SR Zone.

In general, set Stop-Loss near the Blue Kijun Sen (Base Line). Or use NRTR Support/Resistance for StopLoss.

Set Take Profit near SR line. Or wait for Stochastic to show that signal is oversold/overbought and possibly reversing.

You can also use TK cross in opposite direction as a Closing Trade signal.
