Key Features:

  • Bullish and Bearish Bar Detection: Automatically identifies key bullish and bearish bars, offering limit order signals for research and trading.
  • Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Thresholds: Customizable IBS thresholds provide dynamic entry adjustments. Fine-tune this to match the market’s momentum and stay on top of every opportunity.
  • Entry Line Drawing: As soon as a qualifying bar is detected, the LMT Entry v1 draws buy and sell lines — buy lines just below bullish bars and sell lines just above bearish bars — guiding you on exactly where to place your limit orders.
  • Ignore Inside Bars Feature: Avoid getting caught in consolidations. The ‘Ignore Inside Bars’ switch helps filter out signals from inside bars, ensuring only the cleanest entries make the cut.
  • Customizable Settings: Control the line length, thickness, and sensitivity of inside bar detection to suit your specific trading style and the market you’re in.
