Overview 🔍
The Cumulative Price Change Alert indicator analyzes the percentage change between the current and previous open prices and sums these changes over a user-defined number of bars. It then generates visual buy and sell signals using arrows and labels on the chart, helping traders spot cumulative price momentum and potential trading opportunities.
