Introduction to the Gann High Low Activator SSL Alert Indicator

The Gann High Low Activator SSL Alert indicator is based on the original Gann Hi-Lo Activator SSL, but this one was rewritten in MQL5. Another change is that the original indicator was single color, that is why for the more visual definition of the trend direction it was necessary to make it color.

The signal of the indicator must be considered only after closed bars. As for a time when a candlestick is not closed, its results may be changed.

As it is with other trend indicators, it is inclined to trigger false signals in the flat market.

There are many advantages of the Gann High Low Activator SSL Alert indicator, including following usages:

dynamic short term support and resistance line;
signal for scalping in the breakthrough price of the indicator line;
an additional filtering of signals for your trading system.

The indicator is displayed directly on the main trading chart.

It fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs.

The default indicator settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.
