How Nebula Range Filter Pro works
The indicator builds a baseline moving average and surrounds it with a dynamic channel. As long as price stays inside the channel, the trend remains unchanged.
Once price breaks out of the channel, the indicator flips direction and changes its color:
- Green line = Bullish phase (long bias)
- Red line = Bearish phase (short bias)
Additionally, you can color candlesticks according to the trend — making charts visually cleaner and easier to read.
Result: a clear chart with reliable trend signals and fewer false alerts.
