About The Trading Indicators
The chandelier-exit indicator was created by Charles Le Beau and was originally featured in Alexander Elder’s books, the Chandelier Exit.
It is broadly used for setting stop-losses during a trend, however, the ChandelierExit can also be used as a trend tool.
The trsi-indicator is an oscillator that gauges overbought/oversold market conditions but can also reveal trend direction.
