## Description of the trading strategy

### Theory

Where the mobility of applications is carried out (some kind of struggle) that's where the significant level is located. If one side of the BID or ASK significantly prevails over the other side, then this is the place of either a rebound or a breakdown (these data can be estimated by the indicator of the AIx module - which way the volume rose).

### Idea

In a place where the spike on the indicator has a significant value exceeding the neighboring values of the indicator, there is a level on this candle - the price subsequently retests or bounces off these levels.

## Entry points to the deal

1. At the beginning, it is necessary to find a level - a place where we will make a decision about entering a deal. To do this, select an extreme spike according to the "Module Ix" indicator.

2. With an extreme spike, we mark the level where the candle was closed.

3. When the price approaches the level, it is necessary to determine whether there will be a rebound from the level or a breakdown of this level. To do this, pay attention to the "AIx Module" indicator:

If the price approaches the level from the bottom up, then for a rebound, the indicator should show the opposite dominance (i.e. a red histogram), and at a breakdown, the indicator should show dominance in the direction of movement (i.e. a green histogram).

If the price approaches the level from top to bottom, then for a rebound, the indicator should show the opposite dominance (i.e. a green histogram), and at a breakdown, the indicator should show dominance in the direction of movement (i.e. a red histogram).

4. After the above steps, we enter the appropriate position.
