Reflex + Trendflex mit Signalen

ndicator Description: Reflex + Trendflex with SignalsName / Short Title: R+Tflex Signals
Type: Cycle & Trend Oscillator with Integrated Entry Signals
Basis: John Ehlers (Reflex & Trendflex concept ~2020)
Display: Two separate histograms + visual buy/sell signalsWhat makes this indicator special?This indicator combines two very modern, low-lag components developed by John Ehlers:Reflex → shows the cyclical (short-term) component of the market
Trendflex → shows the trend-based (medium-term) component

Both are calculated in such a way that they have significantly less lag than classic oscillators (MACD, RSI, Stochastic, CCI, etc.).Visual Appearance on the ChartReflex Histogram (usually light green/turquoise → red)
Trendflex Histogram (usually cyan/turquoise → purple/dark red)
Both bars are dynamically colored: lighter = decreasing momentum, stronger = increasing momentum
Buy/Sell signals as labels + arrows:
• BUY (green) → when Reflex crosses Trendflex from below to above
• SELL (red) → when Reflex crosses Trendflex from above to below
Horizontal reference lines at ±1.5 and ±3 (red & purple) as orientation for overbought/oversold zones

Typical Interpretation & Trading ApproachSituation
Interpretation
Typical Trading Reaction
Reflex crosses Trendflex ↑ & both > 0
Start of bullish cycle in a positive trend
Very strong buy signal
Reflex crosses Trendflex ↓ & both < 0
Start of bearish cycle in a negative trend
Very strong sell signal
Reflex extremely low (< -2…-4) → turns upward
Cyclical exhaustion (strongly oversold) → reversal chance
Often very good long opportunity (with caution)
Reflex extremely high (> +2…+4) → turns downward
Cyclical exhaustion (strongly overbought) → pullback
Often good short or profit-taking opportunity
Both indicators flat near 0 (±0.5…±1)
Sideways market / lack of direction
Usually no good setups → wait
Trendflex stays long above/below 0
Very strong persistent trend
Prefer trend-following trades

Strengths of this IndicatorVery low lag → signals arrive earlier than most classic oscillators
Excellent separation between short-term cycle (Reflex) and medium-term trend (Trendflex)
Very intuitive visual presentation through histograms + color gradient
Immediately usable entry signals (crossover)
Very good divergence signals (especially when Reflex diverges but Trendflex still holds)

Important Practical Usage NotesScaling factor (default = 6.0) must be adjusted!
→ Crypto & small timeframes often 8–15
→ DAX/Indices 1H+ often 4–8 sufficient
Filters are very important!
Pure crossover signals produce many false signals in strong trending markets.
Very popular filter combinations: Buy only when Trendflex > 0
Sell only when Trendflex < 0
Signal only after extreme zone (e.g. Reflex previously < -1.5 or > +1.5)
Additional trend filter (e.g. price above EMA 50/200, Supertrend, VWAP etc.)

Short version for daily use:“When Reflex crosses Trendflex and both are pointing in the same direction – especially after an extreme zone – the probability of a good trade is significantly increased.”Good luck with your trading!
