Description

This indicator is a refined implementation of the Higher High, Higher Close / Lower Low, Lower Close (HHHC–LLLC) concept—a foundational price action principle that identifies when markets are trending, pulling back, or consolidating. Instead of relying on oscillators or moving averages, it uses raw candle data to determine and visualize the dominant structure of the market.

The chart is divided into four visual zones:

  • Buy Zones (Blue) – The market is forming higher highs and closes
  • Sell Zones (Red) – The market is forming lower lows and closes
  • Pullback Zones (Pink) – Temporary moves against the prevailing trend
  • Trending Zones (Green) – Stable, strong directional momentum

This setup allows traders to quickly confirm trends, spot reversal opportunities, and recognize pullbacks worth fading or waiting out. It's particularly effective when combined with other strategies that rely on structure—such as breakout systems, price patterns, or Fibonacci retracements.

A key feature is its use of historical level lines, which mark past zones and provide a visual reference for support/resistance and trend changes. These lines remain static, allowing you to study how price reacted historically—a valuable tool for discretionary traders.

It’s also designed with alerts built in, notifying you of transitions between zones or structural shifts. Whether you’re day trading, swing trading, or building confluence into your setups, this tool gives you a non-subjective read on trend strength and integrity. 

Best of all, the indicator is non-repainting. Once a zone or structure is established, it does not change, providing reliable backtesting and forward decision-making.

What To Expect
