NN8D Points is one of the indicators included into NN8D (Nikolsky's Nesting Doll) trading system.

NN8D Points is an indicator containing multiple tools for analyzing Forex market: candle analysis and area system.

Rather than simply averaging by Open, Close, High and Low prices, NN8D Points performs a complex analysis of the current and previous bars by various parameters: bar color; bar body size; bar wicks; bar core (average value between Open and Close, as well as between Lows and Highs); analyzing bar volumes by a certain unique formula that defines the strongest movement within each bar - bullish or bearish; analyzing the relationships of the current bar's parameters mentioned above with the same parameters of the previous ones - after that, NN8D Points provides signals in the form of dots having a certain color and type. They show the presence of a trend and its strength.

NN8D Points has a built-in Area System module, which represents an alternative for the levels. This module analyzes charts finding accumulations of quotes (rather than levels), i.e. places on the chart where the price spent most time. The period of the area system can be changed in the indicator settings. The longer the period, the stronger the detected areas but the less sensitive the indicator is for sharp price reversals. Therefore, you can choose the indicator period at your own discretion or apply the default one (which is tested on all timeframes and six major currency pairs, and proved to be optimal).
