Trading Logic
The indicator identifies entry points by combining:

• Price position relative to PAC
  
• RSI position relative to signal lines
  
• Candle direction (bull/bear)
  
• Optional MACD confirmation
  

Best Practices

• Trade in direction of main trend
  
• Best signals occur near MACD zero line crossings
  
• Avoid trading during ranging markets (flat MACD)
  
• Avoid wide PAC spreads (high volatility/choppy markets)
  
• Works best on 5min+ timeframes
  
• Recommended for forex pairs and commodities
  

This is a comprehensive trend-following system that combines multiple technical analysis elements for trade signal generation.
