H Stop State 1 - Sideways
When you have: 1 Black H above the bar And 1 Blue H below the bar

H Stop State 2 = UpTrend
When you have 2 Blue H Stops below the bars Look for a long entry point after a sideways state and 3 green diamonds

Adjusting your H Stop Tool
• Default setting is: 2.5 Far & 2.5 Near
• Higher numbers = higher volatility required to move the stops to identify a trade entry
• Lower numbers = lower volatility required to move the stop to identify a trade entry
