The indicator is best used to confirm Awesome Oscillator signals when the Awesome Oscillator changes color; from Red to Green is suggesting to go long, or from Green to Red suggesting shorting. Confirming suspected trends with other indicators increases the probability of success and the robustness of your trading strategy. This indicator can also be used to determine when to exit a trade. It spots a change in trends relatively early and hence can prepare you to close open positions before the Awesome Oscillator would.
