- Failed breakout. The price has crossed the indicator downwards (the Open price of the analyzed bar is above the indicator and the Close price is below the indicator) but the indicator rises (weak indicator line roll-back signal).

- Moving Average crossover. The price has crossed the indicator upwards (the Open price of the analyzed bar is below the indicator and the Close price is above the indicator) and the indicator rises (strong signal).

- True breakout. The lower shadow of the bar has crossed the indicator (the Open and Close prices of the analyzed bar is above the indicator, and the Low price is below the indicator) and the indicator rises (indicator line roll-back signal).
