{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:$info;">Selecting a higher timeframe than the current chart provides a broader, longer-term trend perspective with reducing a noise from the bands and clearly see the trends and momentum shifts, while choosing a lower timeframe shows more immediate, short-term market shifts.</mark>

## How to use

### **Trend Identification**:&#x20;

<mark style="color:$info;">The primary purpose of the indicator is to identify the direction of a trend using the adaptive bands that react to volatility. As long as the price remains on one side of the band, the trend is intact.</mark>
