Fundur - Trend Trader

Fundur - Trend Trader: Complete Trading Indicator Guide

Indicator Overview

The Fundur - Trend Trader is a comprehensive dual-timeframe analysis indicator that combines fair value structure analysis, risk-reward calculations, and dynamic trend identification into one powerful trading tool. This indicator is designed to provide traders with precise entry and exit points while offering complete risk management insights.

What Makes Trend Trader Unique?

The Trend Trader goes beyond traditional pivot point indicators by introducing Fair Value Structure Analysis - a methodology that analyzes the relationship between two timeframes to determine market bias and optimal trading opportunities. Unlike static indicators, Trend Trader provides dynamic analysis that adapts to market conditions in real-time.

Core Methodology

The indicator operates on the principle that markets oscillate between Premium (overvalued) and Discount (undervalued) zones relative to fair value levels. By analyzing these zones across multiple timeframes, traders can identify high-probability trade setups with clearly defined risk-reward parameters.

Basic Trading Guide

Understanding Fair Value Structure

The indicator's foundation is the Fair Value Structure - the relationship between higher and lower timeframe fair value levels:

Bullish Structure (🔵)

• Condition: Lower timeframe FV above higher timeframe FV
  
• Bias: Look for LONG opportunities
  
• Focus: Fair Value Structure for entries (continuation strategy)
  
• Strategy: Enter long positions at Fair Value, take profits at Premium levels (P1, P2, P3)
  

Bearish Structure (🟠)

• Condition: Lower timeframe FV below higher timeframe FV
  
• Bias: Look for SHORT opportunities
  
• Focus: Fair Value Structure for entries (continuation strategy)
  
• Strategy: Enter short positions at Fair Value, take profits at Discount levels (D1, D2, D3)
  

Entry Strategies

Primary Strategy: Fair Value Continuation Entries

• Setup: Price approaches fair value level with established structure bias
  
• Entry: In Fair Value Structure (in between the lower timeframe and higher timeframe fair value)
  
• Direction: Follow the structure bias (long in bullish structure, short in bearish structure)
  

Stop Loss: Two approaches available:

• Advanced Method: Place stop shy of liquidation point to avoid liquidation
  
• Hassle-Free Method: Previous high/low OR just beyond higher timeframe Fair Value
  
• For Long Positions: Stop below higher timeframe Fair Value
  
• For Short Positions: Stop above higher timeframe Fair Value
  

Profit Taking Strategy:

For Long Positions (Bullish Structure):

• 75% profits at Premium 1 (P1) - highest probability target
  
• 50% of remaining position at Premium 2 (P2)
  
• Close entire position at Premium 3 (P3)
  
• Move stop loss to break even after first profits
  

For Short Positions (Bearish Structure):

• 75% profits at Discount 1 (D1) - highest probability target
  
• 50% of remaining position at Discount 2 (D2)
  
• Close entire position at Discount 3 (D3)
  
• Move stop loss to break even after first profits
  

Alternative Strategy: Structure Transition Entries

• Setup: Structure changes from bearish to bullish (or vice versa)
  
• Entry: At new fair value level after structure confirmation
  
• Risk Management: Tight stops during structure transition periods
  
• Targets: Follow primary profit-taking methodology above
