The amber band: sideways made visible
A faint amber background marks every bar where the read is mixed: the averages are tangled, or the averages and Supertrend disagree. In sideways markets, price keeps crossing back over the averages and trend tools flip again and again. This background shows you those stretches at a glance, and the panel header switches to Mixed and counts how many closed bars it has lasted.
Mixed is not a failure to find a trend. It is often the most honest read on the chart. The stretch ends only when the averages and Supertrend line up again on a closed bar.
