Automatic Trendlines Histogram Indicator

The Automatic Trendlines Histogram Indicator works in two fields simultaneously. It draws automatic trendlines and displays trend histogram bars at the same time. The auto trendline is your dynamic support and resistance levels, while trend oscillator (histogram) comes in handy as a trend direction filter.

The Automatic Trendlines Histogram Indicator fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs. It is displayed directly on the main trading chart. The default settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.
