🔍 What the Indicator Detects
- 📊 Price crossing a custom trendline (drawn manually using NinjaTrader’s Line tool)
- 📈 Auto-extension of arrows to show cross direction and strength
- 🔄 Visualization of retests and possible reversals after the cross
🔁 The 2-Push Pullback Concept
In a bullish trend, after a key upward movement (Push1), price may temporarily break below support. Instead of reversing immediately, it often follows a 2-push correction:
- 🔹 p1: First weak rally attempt
- 🔹 p2: Second failed attempt
After these two pushes, price may retest the high of Push1. If successful, it often results in a trend continuation or reversal confirmation.
