Trading Halt Detector
This is an indicator that plots RED square above or below the last candle before a trading halt occurs. It calculates the time between every candle. If there's more than 1 minutes from a candle to the next one, a red square is going to show.
For exemple, if you trade on the 1min time frame and a Halt up happens, it usualy takes 5 minutes for the market to resume. Since the resuming candle open 5 minutes later, a RED square is going to appear below the last candle before the HALT.
- When a RED Square appears below the candle, it means that a HALT up occured.
- When a RED Square appears above the candle, it means that a HALT down occured.
You may use this indicator on multiple time frames but it's been built for 1 to 4 minutes time frame. It' s possible to adjust the time tolerance that you consider being a halt. The default setting is 1 minutes more than the chosen time frame.
