thanks for taking the time to read. any suggestions if you know any are appreciated.
to reiterate the main idea " Does anyone know any indicators or indicator combinations for market phase identification ?" either accumulation/distribution or what i was orginally going for flat/cycle range/ trending etc thanks again.
