The Chop Zone Indicator is a color-coded technical analysis tool designed to help traders visually interpret market trend strength and detect periods of choppy, sideways movement. It plots the difference between the close and its EMA, scaling it from –100 to +100, with different colors indicating bullish momentum, bearish sentiment, or market indecision.
