This indicator is about Dow’s theory, it detects the highs and lows of a trend to clearly identify trends or periods when the market is in range.
It has major points (based on a long-term calculation) and minor points (calculated on a short term). These periods are of course adjustable, it also includes a moving average of type and adjustable period to match your style of ‘swing trader’.

Converted from an MQL4 code, by a request in the Italian trading indicator’s forum.
