How to read it
- Trailing stopFollows price at a distance set by recent volatility, and only moves with the trend. A close through it flips the trend.
- Pullback zoneThe band between the ribbon's first two lines, in front of the stop: where a pullback in the trend comes back to.
- HeatThe ribbon glows brighter where price has traded through its levels more over the last 50 bars. Levels price only passed through stay dark.
- Trend flipA dot marks the bar where the trend turned. The ribbon moves to the other side of price: green below it in an uptrend, red above it in a downtrend.
