    About The Trading Indicators

    The Buysellarrowscalper custom indicator is a trend following indicator that changes its color between a red downward pointing arrow (with upward spikes place on its red line) aligned above price bars to depict a bears market, and a dodger blue upward pointing arrow (with downward spikes place on its dodger blue line) aligned below price bars to trigger a buy market.

    The Bollinger Bands consist of three bands with the outer bands being plotted as standard deviations away from the middle simple moving average band. The indicator offers good clues on the state of volatility in the market.

    The Bollinger_Squeeze_v3 custom indicator uses histograms to measure price volatility.
