Trend Candles
Trend Candles
Overview
The Trend Candles indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed to help traders visually identify the prevailing market trend. By combining candle coloring with a trend-based Exponential Moving Average (EMA), it enhances chart readability and makes trend-following strategies easier to apply.
Concepts
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA is a moving average that places more weight on recent price data. It reacts faster to price changes compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA), making it well-suited for trend detection.
Trend Determination:
- If the EMA is rising (current EMA > previous EMA), the market is considered bullish.
- If the EMA is falling (current EMA < previous EMA), the market is considered bearish.
- If the EMA is flat (no significant change), no trend color is applied.
Candle Coloring:
- Green candles = Uptrend
- Purple candles = Downtrend
- Default candles = Sideways/Flat EMA
Features
- Trend Visualization: Candles automatically change color based on EMA slope, making it easy to spot bullish and bearish phases.
- Customizable EMA Length: The trader can set the EMA period (default is 50), allowing flexibility for short-term or long-term trend analysis.
- Overlay EMA Line: An orange EMA line is plotted on the chart for additional confirmation of the trend.
- Clean & Minimalist: Focuses on trend clarity without cluttering the chart with unnecessary signals.
How to Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the EMA Length as per your trading style (shorter = faster signals, longer = smoother trend).
3. Follow the candle color:
- Green = Favor long entries.
- Purple = Favor short entries.
- No color = Stay cautious, as trend is unclear.
4. Use with other confirmation tools (support/resistance, volume, or oscillators).
5. Users are encouraged to experiment with different EMA lengths. The default length is 50, but you can explore other values based on your needs. In particular, try Fibonacci numbers such as 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and 233 to observe how trends behave differently.
