How the advisor works.
For the convenience of users, this EA has created graphical elements in the form of rectangles that are dynamic in height. The rectangles count the fluctuations (blue for buy, red for sell) blue rectangle at the Ask price, red at the Bid price .
Red rectangle - when the price moves down, the lower (thin) border of the red rectangle moves behind it. When the price moves up, the red rectangle remains stationary. When the price breaks through the upper border of the red rectangle, the EA starts waiting for a signal for a possible trend reversal to open an order.
Blue rectangle - for opening Buy orders. Here, on the contrary, the upper border (thin), when the price goes up, then the rectangle moves after the price higher, when the price drops below, then the rectangle does not move, if the lower border of the blue rectangle is broken, the EA will wait for the signal to complete the correction and open an order.
The size of the rectangle in points can be fixed, or it can be determined by the current volatility. If "Use ATR for StepLevel" = "true", then the advisor will determine the size of the necessary correction to open orders based on the ATR indicator readings. The minimum size of the correction (limit for the minimum value) in this case will be determined by the variable " Minimal StepLevel for entry".
If trend filtering is enabled, the EA determines the current trend direction using the AW Trend Predictor indicator. When trend filtering is disabled, the EA works in two directions at once, analyzing fluctuations from the current price.
That is, the advisor determines the direction of the current trend, then after the onset of the correction, the advisor waits for a signal from the custom candlestick indicator and when the correction is completed (the correction is a rebound to the sub-edge of the rectangle), the advisor opens an order, after which the trend continues again. Thus: the EA works on reversible movements after the correction. When there is a correction, the advisor analyzes with the help of a candle filter that there is an opportunity for a reversal, when such a moment comes, the advisor will open an order.
When an order is opened, the rectangle is deleted, after the order is closed, a new rectangle is created with a thin border near the current price.
The candlestick filter, which determines that the correction is completed, works according to the current timeframe. The EA opens only one order per candlestick.

SIGNAL
- Minimal StepLevel for entry - The minimum size of the rectangle in points. May be equal to "0", then if the variable "Use ATR for StepLevel" the option "True" is selected, then the rectangles will change only in accordance with the ATR. In the case when "Use ATR for StepLevel" = "true" this variable defines the minimum size for the rectangle identifying the minimum required correction.
- Use ATR for StepLevel - Use ATP to define the size of the rectangle.
- True - If you use "True", the rectangle will change in accordance with the current readings of the ATR indicator. That is, depending on the volatility, the rectangles will either increase or decrease. " Minimal StepLevel for entry "in such a case means the minimum threshold for the size of the rectangle.
- False - If you select the "False" option, then the size of the rectangle will be fixed and equal to the value specified in the "Minimal StepLevel for entry" variable.
