GHLA SuperTrend CCI High-Low Activator Oscillator
A multi-layered trend and momentum indicator that combines Gann-inspired high/low levels, a SuperTrend mechanism, and a custom CCI oscillator. It provides dynamic entry and exit signals, confirming bullish or bearish trends while filtering out market noise. The accompanying oscillator visually represents trend strength and direction, allowing traders to quickly identify opportunities and avoid indecision zones.

Wow. Great job on this one! I tried to duplicate the SR-type lines for the upper. It works, yours is better. Would you add the code for that as well. Thanks again.
