How It Works
The Symmetrical Triangle Pattern indicator analyzes market price movements to identify periods of consolidation.

When the price breaks above or below these lines, it signals a potential breakout, allowing traders to take action.
Signal Logic
BUY Signal: Triggered when the price surpasses the upper trendline, indicating potential upward momentum.
SELL Signal: Activated when the price falls below the lower trendline, suggesting a potential downward trend.
Color-coded arrows appear on the chart to indicate buy (green) and sell (red) signals, complemented by optional alerts for immediate notification.
