I’ve been around the block a few times with various indicators, so I didn't expect miracles here. Overall, this tool does what it promises – it’s good at identifying parabolic channels, though sometimes it can be a bit hit-or-miss, especially in volatile markets. When combined with other signals, it can be quite effective, as Devonish pointed out in his review.While Payman enjoys its symbol-specific functionality, it’s not a silver bullet. And liyanbin wasn’t wrong either; the indicator could be better at auto-identifying high and low points.
