Signal Logic and Functionality

1. The indicator detects breakouts using box formations at high and low price levels.
2. If the price breaks the upper boundary of the box, a blue arrow is shown, signaling a potential buy entry.
3. If the price breaks the lower boundary, a pink arrow is displayed, indicating a sell signal.
4. These visual cues make the tool effective for identifying trend direction and potential trade entries.

Example: Buy Signal

In a USD/JPY chart scenario, price breaks above the predefined range and moves sharply upward. The indicator then displays a blue arrow, offering a confirmation for a long trade.

Example: Sell Signal

On the USD/CAD pair in the 1-hour timeframe, the price drops below the lower box boundary and closes outside the range. The indicator identifies this move and places a pink arrow, suggesting a sell opportunity.
