Trend Striker Extreme Explanation
Trend Striker uses a very simple technique to demonstrate the trend signals of the market. It plots colored vertical lines in order to signal the market trends. The color of the lines turns blue when the trend is bullish and turns red in case of the bearish trend.
Whenever the indicator signals a change in the market trend, you’ll need to look for a candlestick bar that matches the trend signal for the confirmation of opening a position. For trade exits, either you can wait for an opposite trend signal to your entry or you can exit when your desired risk to reward ratio is achieved.
Trend Striker: Buy Conditions

A bullish candle closes in line with the bullish trend signal
Buy triggers at the break of the respective bullish bar’s high
Set stop loss below the current market low
Exit long/take profit whenever your trade hits your desired target or the indicator signals for the bearish trend
