CHiLo — Custom HiLo (SMA/EMA, Activator, Shading, Auto-Decimals)CHiLo is a clean Hi/Lo trend read with SMA/EMA options, a HiLo vs. HiLo Activator mode, optional band shading , and a right-side HiLo marker with automatic decimals based on the symbol. Optional Buy/Sell labels mark state flips. Inspired by the broader trend-following literature and practitioners; in Brazil, educator Hulisses “Tio Huli” Dias is a notable voice popularizing trend following.
What it does
CHiLo plots a Hi/Lo state with two modes:
HiLo (classic high/low bands)
HiLo Activator (activator-style behavior)
It includes:
SMA/EMA selection
Optional shading between Hi/Lo bands
Optional Buy/Sell labels on state flips
HiLo marker (auto-decimals from the symbol’s tick size)
Goal: deliver a fast, visual trend context that you can pair with your own risk rules and confirmations.
How to use
Add the indicator and choose Mode (HiLo / Activator) and MA type (SMA/EMA).
Tune Period (and Offset if needed). Higher = smoother (fewer flips); lower = more responsive.
Toggle Shading to emphasize the envelope.

Use the HiLo marker on the right to read the current level (auto-formatted).
