Example and strategy

If you are familiar with the pivot points and support and resistance lines, using this indicator will be easy for you. The central pivot line bears a very high chance of reversal. The support and resistance lines become less strong the farther they are from the central pivot line. The weaker is the line, the easier it is to break.
