        TD Sequential is an indicator that helps identify uptrend/downtrend exhaustion or potential reversal price points. The indicator comprises two price sequences – TD Setup (the first one) which is a prerequisite for the TD Countdown (the second sequence). The TD Setup sequence is calculated as the difference between the current Close and the corresponding Close four bars earlier. TD Setup is considered completed after it takes 9 consecutive bars in a row, that means the reversal is about to take place. Then, the TD Countdown sequence starts. It is calculated as the difference between the current Close with the low/high two bars earlier. The TD Countdown sequence is considered completed after it takes 13 consecutive bars in a row, that also may indicate an upcoming price reversal.

        TD Setup = Closen - Closen-4
        TD Countdown = Closen - Low/Highn-2
