The Gann High Low Activator Metatrader 5 forex indicator was explained in the 1998 issue of Stocks & Commodities Magazine by Robert Krausz.
The technical indicator represents a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the prior N periods’ low or highs.
The curves of the highs and the lows are adequately tracked using the Gann High Low Activator indicator.
Nevertheless, the close of the bar is what determines which of them that gets plotted.
The indicator pops up on the chart as a dual colored line (orange red & lime green), a gray dotted line (that runs somewhat in the middle of the channel), and a gainsboro shadow.
These components of the Gann High Low Activator indicator forms a sort of channel that requires being breached if the trend is going to be changed.
Use this indicator for scalping, day trading and swing trading purposes.
