Half Trend HeikinAshi [BigBeluga]This indicator is a cool combo of the half-trend methodology and Heikin Ashi candles. The main idea is to help spot where the market is trending and where it might be reversing by using a mix of moving averages and the highest and lowest price data values. What’s nice is that it doesn’t just give you trend lines but also converts them into Heikin Ashi candles, so you can visually gauge the strength of a trend based on candle sizes.

🔵 IDEA
The thinking behind this Half Trend HeikinAshi indicator is pretty straightforward: it’s designed to give you a flexible way to detect trends and trend reversals, but with an added bonus—measuring trend strength via Heikin Ashi candles. The core idea is based on the classic half-trend strategy, where it adjusts to the highest and lowest price values within a certain period. The Heikin Ashi transformation smooths out half-trend line, making it easier to spot solid trends and potential reversals.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Half Trend Calculation with Reversal Signals:
The main feature here is spotting trends based on a moving average of the close price and the highest/lowest price data.
//#region ———————————————————— Calculations
// Calculate moving average of close prices
series float closeMA = ta.sma(close, amplitude)
// Calculate highest high and lowest low
series float highestHigh = ta.highest(amplitude)
series float lowestLow = ta.lowest(amplitude)
// Initialize hl_t on the first bar
if barstate.isfirst
hl_t := close
// Update hl_t based on conditions
switch
closeMA < hl_t and highestHigh < hl_t => hl_t := highestHigh
closeMA > hl_t and lowestLow > hl_t => hl_t := lowestLow
=> hl_t := hl_t
When the trend flips, you’ll see arrows on your chart—either pointing up or down—marking the exact price where that reversal occurred. This makes it easy to see where the market might turn, which is helpful for timing entries and exits.
◉ Heikin Ashi Candlestick Transformation:
There’s a Heikin Ashi mode that transforms the half-trend line into Heikin Ashi candles.
These smooth out market noise and make the overall trend much clearer.
◉ Trend Strength Calculation:
The indicator doesn’t just stop at showing trends. It also calculates trend strength based on the size of the Heikin Ashi candles. Bigger candles mean stronger trends, and smaller ones indicate weaker momentum. You can see this displayed on the dashboard, so you know exactly how strong the current trend is at any moment.
◉ Graphical Dashboard Display:
You’ve got a small dashboard right on the chart that shows key info like the ticker, timeframe, and whether the trend is up or down. If you’re in Heikin Ashi mode, it shows trend strength instead. So, no need to dig through the data—you can just glance at the dashboard for a quick market read.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Amplitude Input: You can tweak the amplitude to control how sensitive the half-trend line is. A lower setting makes it more reactive to small price moves, while a higher setting smooths it out for longer-term trends.
Heikin Ashi Toggle: You can easily switch between standard half-trend lines and Heikin Ashi candle mode, depending on how you prefer to see the market.
Trend Colors: You’ve got control over the colors for up and down trends, so you can adjust the appearance to fit your charting style.
Signal Labels size: Change Labels signal sizes for your preference
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Half Trend HeikinAshi indicator is a solid tool for tracking trends and measuring their strength. By combining the usual half-trend signals with Heikin Ashi candles, you get a clearer picture of what’s happening in the market. Whether you're looking to spot potential reversals or just want to measure the strength of a current trend, this indicator gives you plenty of flexibility to do both.
Trend Following Parabolic Buy Sell Strategy [TradeDots]The Trend Following Parabolic Buy-Sell Strategy leverages the Parabolic SAR in combination with moving average crossovers to deliver buy and sell signals within a trend-following framework.
This strategy synthesizes proven methodologies sourced from various trading tutorials available on platforms such as YouTube and blogs, enabling traders to conduct robust backtesting on their selected trading pairs to assess the strategy's effectiveness.
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy employs four key indicators to orchestrate its trading signals:
1. Trend Alignment: It first assesses the relationship between the price and the predominant trendline to determine the directional stance—taking long positions only when the price trends above the moving average, signaling an upward market trajectory.
2. Momentum Confirmation: Subsequent to trend alignment, the strategy looks for moving average crossovers as a confirmation that the price is gaining momentum in the direction of the intended trades.
3. Signal Finalization: Finally, buy or sell signals are validated using the Parabolic SAR indicator. A long order is validated when the closing price is above the Parabolic SAR dots, and similarly, conditions are reversed for short orders.
4. Risk Management: The strategy institutes a fixed stop-loss at the moving average trendline and a take-profit level determinable by a prefixed risk-reward ratio calculated from the moving average trendline. These parameters are customizable by the users within the strategy settings.
APPLICATION
Designed for assets exhibiting pronounced directional momentum, this strategy aims to capitalize on clear trend movements conducive to achieving set take-profit targets.
As a lagging strategy that waits for multiple confirmatory signals, entry into trades might occasionally lag beyond optimal timing.
Furthermore, in periods of consolidation or sideways movement, the strategy may generate several false signals, suggesting the potential need for additional market condition filters to enhance signal accuracy during volatile phases.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 70%
Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and style.

ATR TrendTL;DR - An average true range (ATR) based trend
ATR trend uses a (customizable) ATR calculation and highest high & lowest low prices to calculate the actual trend. Basically it determines the trend direction by using highest high & lowest low and calculates (depending on the determined direction) the ATR trend by using a ATR based calculation and comparison method.
The indicator will draw one trendline by default. It is also possible to draw a second trendline which shows a 'negative trend'. This trendline is calculated the same way the primary trendline is calculated but uses a negative (-1 by default) value for the ATR calculation. This trendline can be used to detect early trend changes and/or micro trends.
How to use:
Due to its ATR nature the ATR trend will show trend changes by changing the trendline direction. This means that when the price crosses the trendline it does not automatically mean a trend change. However using the 'negative trend' option ATR trend can show early trend changes and therefore good entry points.
Some notes:
- A (confirmed) trend change is shown by a changing color and/or moving trendline (up/down)
- Unlike other indicators the 'time period' value is not the primary adjustment setting. This value is only used to calculate highest high & lowest low values and has medium impact on trend calculation. The primary adjustment setting is 'ATR weight'
- Every settings has a tooltip with further explanation
- I added additional color coding which uses a different color when the trend attempts to change but the trend change isn't confirmed (yet)
- Default values work fine (at least in my back testing) but the recommendation is to adjust the settings (especially ATR weight) to your trading style
- You can further finetune this indicator by using custom moving average types for the ATR calculation (like linear regression or Hull moving average)
- Both trendlines can be used to determine future support and resistance zones
- ATR trend can be used as a stop loss finder
- Alerts are using buy/sell signals
- You can use fancy color filling ;)
Happy trading!

TrendLine CrossThis indicator "TrendLine Cross", is designed to plot trend lines so you can spot potential trend reversal points on the charts. The main function is to draw several lines on the chart and identify the crossings between these lines, which can be significant indicators for trading. The lines are based on different periods which can be changed in the settings tabs.
Let's see the characteristics of the trend lines:
_Low Line Color(Green Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible short-term support level on the chart.
_Liquidity Up Line Color (Golden Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the same period. It represents a liquidity zone and an important resistance in the chart.
_Lower Line Color (Blue Line): This horizontal line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "LowerLine_period" with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible long-term support level.
_Upper Line Colorr: This line represents a connection between the highest points of the "high_time" period and the lowest point of the "LowerLine_period". Indicates a possible long-term resistance level.
_Up Line Color (Red Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of high prices in the "LowerLine_period". It represents a possible long-term resistance level.
_Liquidity Down Line Color(Golden Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the "low_time" period. It represents a liquidity point and an important support zone.
The indicator becomes particularly interesting when the lines make crossings. These crossovers could suggest a potential trend change in the market. For example:
Change from Bearish to Bullish: If the "long-term" line (black) crosses the "short- or long-term" line (green or blue) from top to bottom, it could indicate a shift from a bearish to a bullish market , suggesting the opportunity for long positions.
_Changing from Bullish to Bearish: If the "long-term" line (blue) crosses the "short-term" line (red or black) from bottom to top, it could indicate a shift from a bullish to a bearish market, suggesting the opportunity for short positions.
Generally speaking, crossings between these lines can be key points of interest for traders, as they can signal significant changes in price direction.
Predictive Trend and Structure (Expo)█ Overview
The Predictive Trend and Structure indicator is designed for traders seeking to identify future trend directions and interruptions in trend continuation. This indicator is unique because it employs standard deviation to predict upcoming trend directions and potential trend continuation levels. This enables traders to stay ahead of the market.
█ How It Works
This indicator primarily functions based on the calculated standard deviation of the trend over a specified period. It evaluates the trend direction by comparing the current trend value to its previous one and scales the standard deviation, allowing for adjustments in sensitivity to price fluctuations.
█ How to Use
Trend
You can easily identify when a future trend begins by observing where the trend level is displayed. If the price breaks above and remains above the trend, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if the price breaks below and stays below, it signifies a bearish trend.
Support and Resistance
With the Predictive Structure enabled, the indicator aids in identifying potential support and resistance levels.
Trend Continuation Break
Trend continuation breaks occur when prices breaks support or resistance, indicating the existing trend may persist. The indicator plots these levels in advance, allowing traders to quickly identify where trend continuation might occur.
█ Settings
Period for Std Dev: Determines the number of periods used for the standard deviation calculation, impacting the indicator's sensitivity to price changes.
Standard Deviation Scaler: Scales the computed standard deviation, affecting the deviations needed to confirm trends and the indicator's focus on significant trend changes.
Predictive Structure: Enables or disables the prediction of market structures like potential levels of structure breaks/trend continuation breaks.

Dynamic Trendlines Multi-TimeframeThe Dynamic Trendlines indicator is a useful tool for traders to identify potential support and resistance levels in the market. By analyzing price volatility and drawing trendlines based on high volatility candles, it helps traders visualize key price levels that may influence future price action. This indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of price volatility to determine the threshold for high volatility candles. This indicator can be used on multiple time frames, so just choose which one works best for you!
The underlying concept of this indicator revolves around the calculation of the True Range and Average True Range. The True Range is the maximum value among the difference between the current high and low, the absolute value of the difference between the current high and previous close, and the absolute value of the difference between the current low and previous close. The ATR is then calculated as the simple moving average of the True Range over a user-defined period (default is 14). The threshold for high volatility candles is determined by multiplying the ATR by a user-defined multiplier (default is 1.5).
The indicator identifies high volatility candles when the closing price is greater than the previous closing price plus the threshold. Based on the price action, trendlines are drawn connecting the high or low of high volatility candles. The initial color and style of the trendline are determined by whether the price is moving up or down. Green solid lines represent upward price movement, while red solid lines represent downward price movement.
As the price crosses the trendlines, the indicator tracks the number of crosses and updates the line's style accordingly. If the price crosses a trendline twice, the line style is changed to dashed, indicating the potential weakening of the support or resistance level.
This indicator works best with trading methods that focus on capturing price breakouts or reversals. Traders can use the trendlines to identify potential entry or exit points, stop-loss levels, or take-profit targets. It's important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and an understanding of the overall market context to make informed trading decisions.
When using the Dynamic Trendlines indicator on TradingView, users can customize the ATR length, threshold multiplier, and the number of recent trendlines displayed on the chart. Additionally, small triangles are plotted below high volatility candles, with their color based on the trendline it starts, providing a quick visual reference for traders.
In summary, the Dynamic Trendlines indicator is a valuable tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels in the market by analyzing price volatility and drawing trendlines based on high volatility candles. It is best suited for breakout and reversal trading strategies and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for optimal results.
Immediate Trend - VHXIMMEDIATE TREND - VULNERABLE_HUMAN_X
This indicator is used to identify the immediate trend in the market.
When a Short Term High (STH) is engulfed and closed above, we consider that as a bullish trend.
And Similarly, when a Short Term Low (STL) is engulfed and closed below, we consider that as a bullish trend.
STH - A candle that is higher than the one candle towards it's left and one candle towards it's right.
STL - A candle that is lower than the one candle towards it's left and one candle towards it's right.
HOW TO USE:
1. Do not take trades purely based on the immediate trend showcased by the indicator. Rather, use them as confluence with your trading strategy.
2. When you are expecting price to reverse at your point of interest (Denamd/Supply zone), this indicator can help you predict the reversal by showcasing the current trend.
3. Using this indicator you can travel the trend as long as there is a change of trend predicted by this indicator.
Rate Of Change Trend Strategy (ROC)This is very simple trend following or momentum strategy. If the price change over the past number of bars is positive, we buy. If the price change over the past number of bars is negative, we sell. This is surprisingly robust, simple, and effective especially on trendy markets such as cryptos.
Works for many markets such as:
INDEX:BTCUSD
INDEX:ETHUSD
SP:SPX
NASDAQ:NDX
NASDAQ:TSLA
MTF Trend WidgetThis indicator identifies trends in multiple higher timeframes (D, W, M) and shows them in a widget off to the right of the chart.
It's meant to be used as an alternative filter for "trading with the trend." Typically people use moving averages of varying lengths for this (i.e. if over 200 MA it's an uptrend, etc.), but I wanted to see if it might be more effective to see if the higher timeframes were actually trending or not in a certain direction.
For the purposes of this indicator, an uptrend is defined as higher highs and higher lows. So if currently in a downtrend and the highs are broken, the indicator will flip to an uptrend because now we have a higher high. Vice versa for downtrends.
The user can choose the lookback period for defining these highs/lows (the pivot points). A smaller lookback number will give you more frequent pivot points.
The user can toggle on visibility of all historical pivot points to make sure the frequency and placement of the swing highs/lows is to their liking.
The user can show the support/resistance lines of those most recent swing high/low points on the multiple timeframes as well.
When these lines are breached, that is when the trends change, so you can see if you are close to changing any longer term trends.
My hope is that this gives people a quick glance at the overall trend without having to cycle through different timeframes.
SMA MAD Trend [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend identification system that combines Simple Moving Average with Mean Absolute Deviation methodology to create adaptive Super Trend-style bands with advanced strength filtering and gradient visualization. Utilizing ADX-based trend strength validation and slope analysis for signal quality enhancement, this indicator delivers institutional-grade trend detection with dynamic ATR-based ribbon visualization and comprehensive strength measurement. The system's dual-filter architecture eliminates false signals during weak or choppy market conditions while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend establishment and reversal events.
🔶 Advanced SMA-MAD Band Construction
Implements innovative Mean Absolute Deviation calculation around Simple Moving Average baseline to create volatility-adaptive bands with ratcheting logic for trend persistence. The system calculates MAD by measuring absolute price deviations from the mean, then applies configurable multipliers to generate upper and lower bands that adjust to changing market conditions while preventing premature band violations.
// Core SMA-MAD Framework
SMA_Value = ta.sma(close, SMA_Length)
Mean = ta.sma(close, MAD_Length)
Abs_Deviation = abs(close - Mean)
MAD_Value = ta.sma(Abs_Deviation, MAD_Length)
// Adaptive Bands
Upper_Band = SMA_Value + MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
Lower_Band = SMA_Value - MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
🔶 Intelligent Dual-Filter System
Features comprehensive trend validation using ADX strength measurement and slope analysis to eliminate low-conviction signals during ranging or consolidating markets. The system calculates normalized slope strength using ATR scaling and combines with ADX threshold analysis, generating filtered trend states that distinguish genuine trends from temporary price fluctuations.
🔶 Dynamic Trend Strength Engine
Implements sophisticated strength calculation combining slope intensity and ADX readings to produce normalized 0-100% strength scores with gradient colour intensity modulation. The system normalizes slope by minimum threshold and ADX by configurable level, multiplying factors to create composite strength measurement that drives visual feedback intensity across all indicator elements.
🔶 Super Trend-Style Direction Logic
Utilizes classic Super Trend methodology adapted for SMA-MAD bands, where trend direction flips occur on opposite band violations with persistent state maintenance. The system tracks previous band levels with ratcheting behaviour that adjusts bands only when price movement or new calculations warrant changes, preventing oscillation during normal volatility.
🔶 ATR-Based Ribbon Visualization
Provides dynamic ribbon overlay using ATR-scaled width around the trend line with opacity modulation based on trend strength for intuitive conviction assessment. The system creates upper and lower ribbon bounds at configurable ATR multiples, filling the channel with gradient-adjusted transparency that increases during strong trends and fades during weak conditions.
🔶 Multi-Dimensional Visual Architecture
Provides complete chart integration through trend line overlay, ATR ribbon fills, candle colouring, background glow, and transition signal labels with configurable visibility toggles. The system enables traders to customize display density from minimal (trend line only) to comprehensive (all visual elements) while maintaining consistent colour scheme and strength-based intensity across components.
🔶 Slope Strength Validation
Calculates ATR-normalized slope over configurable lookback periods to measure trend line momentum and filter sideways price action. The system compares absolute slope against minimum threshold requirements, preventing trend signals when price movement relative to the trend line lacks sufficient directional conviction regardless of band position.
🔶 Signal Generation Framework
Generates trend change signals when filtered direction state transitions from bearish to bullish or vice versa, with label placement and alert integration. The system implements state persistence that maintains previous trend until both ADX and slope filters confirm directional change, reducing whipsaw signals while capturing genuine reversals with minimal lag.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient calculation methods with optimized variable management and configurable parameters for balance between responsiveness and stability. The system includes intelligent state tracking with NA handling for initial bars and smooth gradient calculations that maintain performance across extended historical periods and real-time updates.
This indicator delivers sophisticated trend identification through Mean Absolute Deviation methodology combined with dual-strength filtering for superior signal quality. Unlike traditional Super Trend indicators that rely solely on ATR bands, the SMA-MAD approach uses statistical deviation measurement while incorporating ADX strength and slope validation to eliminate false signals during choppy conditions. The system's gradient-based visual feedback, ATR ribbon visualization, comprehensive dashboard, and multi-dimensional filtering make it essential for traders seeking reliable trend-following approaches with clear conviction measurement across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The combination of adaptive bands, strength-based transparency, and intelligent filtering creates an institutional-grade trend system suitable for systematic trading strategies.
Precision Trendlines - Relevant Current TFPrecision Structural Trendlines (Current TF)
Overview
The Precision Structural Trendlines indicator is a high-performance price action tool designed for traders who rely on market structure and trend convergence. Unlike standard trendline scripts that clutter the chart with every possible connection, this indicator strictly follows professional structural rules—connecting Lower Highs for resistance and Higher Lows for support.
Key Features
Structural Integrity: The engine ensures that resistance lines are only drawn during bearish sequences (Lower Highs) and support lines during bullish sequences (Higher Lows), aligning with core Price Action principles.
Dynamic Relevance Filter: Solve the "web of lines" problem. By default, the script only shows trendlines that are currently relevant to price. As price moves away from old trends, they fade out, keeping your workspace clean.
Zero Drift Synchronization: Built using absolute time-anchoring (xloc.bar_time), ensuring that trendlines stay perfectly "glued" to the candle wicks regardless of how much you scroll or zoom.
Customizable Aesthetics: Choose between Random Dark Colors to easily distinguish overlapping trends or a Static Color for a unified look. Global width controls allow for instant visibility adjustments.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Use the Minimum Points setting. Set it to 2 for aggressive, early trend detection, or 3 to only see lines that have been validated by multiple touches.
Major vs. Minor Swings: Adjust the Pivot Strength. A value of 30 (default) captures significant intraday turns, while 20+ is ideal for identifying major swing structure.
Relevance Buffer: Tune the Price Buffer % to determine how close price must be to a historical trendline before it reappears on your chart.
Settings Breakdown
Minimum Points: Number of pivot points required to anchor a line.
Pivot Strength: The "look-left/look-right" requirement to confirm a peak or valley.
Validation Tolerance: The vertical buffer allowed for a 3rd point to "hit" the trendline.
Show Relevant Only: Toggles the visibility filter (highly recommended for high-volume traders).
Trend Tracer [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool builds a two-stage trend model that reacts to structure shifts while also showing how strong or weak the move is. It uses a mid-price band (from the highest high and lowest low over a lookback) and applies two Supertrend passes on top of it. The first pass smoothens the basis. The second pass refines that direction and produces the final trail used for signals. A gradient fill between the two trails uses RSI of price-to-trail distance to show when price is stretched or cooling off. The aim is to give traders a simple way to read trend alignment, pressure, and early turns without guessing.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script starts with a mid-range basis. This is the average of the rolling highest high and lowest low. It acts as a stable structure reference instead of raw close or typical price. From there, two Supertrend layers are applied:
• The first Supertrend uses a shorter ATR period and lower factor. It reacts faster and sets the main regime.
• The second Supertrend uses a slightly longer ATR and higher factor. It filters noise, waits for confirmed continuation, and generates the signal line.
The interaction between these trails matters. The outer Supertrend provides context by defining the broader regime. The inner Supertrend provides timing by flipping earlier and marking possible shifts. The gradient fill uses RSI of (close − supertrend value) to display when price stretches away from the trail. This shows strength, exhaustion, or compression within the trend.
🟠 FEATURES
Bullish and bearish flip markers placed at recent highs/lows
Rejection signals off the trend tracer line
Alerts for bullish and bearish trend changes
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. Timeframe is flexible; lower timeframes show more flips while higher ones give cleaner swings. Adjust Length to change how wide the basis range is. Use the two ATR settings and factors to match the volatility of the market you trade.
Read the chart : When the refined trail (stv_) sits above price the regime is bearish; when below, it is bullish. The wide trail (stv) confirms the larger move. Watch the gradient fill: darker colors appear when price is stretched from the trail and lighter colors appear when the move is weakening. Flip markers ▲ or ▼ highlight the first clean shift of the refined trail.
Settings that matter : Increasing the Main Factor slows main-trend flips and filters chop. Increasing the Signal Factor delays the timing trail but reduces noise. Shortening Length makes the basis more reactive. ATR periods change how sensitive each Supertrend pass is to volatility.
APEX TREND: Macro & Hard Stop SystemAPEX TREND: Macro & Hard Stop System
The APEX TREND System is a composite trend-following strategy engineered to solve the "Whipsaw" problem inherent in standard breakout systems. It orchestrates four distinct technical theories—Macro Trend Filtering, Volatility Squeeze, Momentum, and Volatility Stop-Loss—into a single, hierarchical decision-making engine.
This script is not merely a collection of indicators; it is a rules-based trading system designed for Swing Traders (Day/Week timeframes) who aim to capture major trend extensions while strictly managing downside risk through a "Hard Stop" mechanism.
🧠 Underlying Concepts & Originality
Many trend indicators fail because they treat all price movements equally. The APEX TREND differentiates itself by applying an "Institutional Filter" logic derived from classic Dow Theory and Modern Volatility Analysis.
1. The Macro Hard Stop (The 200 EMA Logic)
Origin: Based on the institutional mandate that “Nothing good happens below the 200-day moving average.”
Function: Unlike standard super trends that flip constantly in sideways markets, this system integrates a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a non-negotiable "Hard Stop."
Synergy: This acts as the primary gatekeeper. Even if the volatility engine signals a "Buy," the system suppresses the signal if the price is below the Macro Baseline, effectively filtering out counter-trend traps.
2. The Volatility Engine (Squeeze Theory)
Origin: Derived from John Carter’s TTM Squeeze concept.
Function: The script identifies periods where Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) contract inside Keltner Channels (ATR). This indicates a period of potential energy build-up.
Synergy: The system only triggers an entry when this energy is released (Breakout) AND coincides with Linear Regression Momentum, ensuring the breakout is genuine.
3. Anti-Chop Filter (ADX Integration)
Origin: J. Welles Wilder’s Directional Movement Theory.
Function: A common failure point for trend systems is low-volatility chop. This script utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Synergy: If the ADX is below the threshold (Default: 20), the market is deemed "Choppy." The script visually represents this by painting candles GRAY, signaling a "No-Trade Zone" regardless of price action.
4. The "Run Trend" Stop Loss (Factor 4.0 ATR)
Origin: Adapted from the Turtle Trading rules regarding volatility-based stops.
Function: Standard Trailing Stops (usually Factor 3.0) are too tight for crypto or volatile equities on daily timeframes.
Optimization: This system employs a wider ATR Multiplier of 4.0. This allows the asset to fluctuate naturally within a trend without triggering a premature exit, maximizing the "Run Trend" potential.
🛠 How It Works (The Algorithm)
The script processes data in a specific order to generate a signal:
Check Macro Trend: Is Price > EMA 200? (If No, Longs are disabled).
Check Volatility: Is ADX > 20? (If No, all signals are disabled).
Check Volume: Is Current Volume > 1.2x Average Volume? (Confirmation of institutional participation).
Trigger: Has a Volatility Breakout occurred in the direction of the Macro Trend?
Execution: If ALL above are true -> Generate Signal.
🎯 Strategy Guide
1. Long Setup (Bullish)
Signal: Look for the Green "APEX LONG" Label.
Condition: The price must be ABOVE the White Line (EMA 200).
Execution: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Initial stop at the Green Trailing Line.
2. Short Setup (Bearish)
Signal: Look for the Red "APEX SHORT" Label.
Condition: The price must be BELOW the White Line (EMA 200).
Execution: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Initial stop at the Red Trailing Line.
3. Exit Rules (Crucial)
This system employs a Dual-Exit Mechanism:
Soft Exit (Profit Taking): Close the position if the price crosses the Trailing Stop Line (Green/Red line). This locks in profits during a trend reversal.
Hard Exit (Emergency): Close the position IMMEDIATELY if the price crosses the White EMA 200 Line against your trade. This prevents holding a position during a major market regime change.
⚙️ Settings
Momentum Engine: Adjust Bollinger Band/Keltner Channel lengths to tune breakout sensitivity.
Apex Filters: Toggle the EMA 200 or ADX filters on/off to adapt to different asset classes.
Risk Management: The ATR Multiplier (Default 4.0) controls the width of the trailing stop. Lower values = Tighter stops (Scalping); Higher values = Looser stops (Swing).
Disclaimer: This script is designed for trend-following on higher timeframes (4H, 1D, 1W). Please backtest on your specific asset before live trading.
50% Fib Trend Cloud + ATR BandsThis indicator plots two structural 50% fibonacci midpoints from recent confirmed 'left/right' swings that form a *cloud* of equilibrium, then adds a rolling 50% fibonacci range midpoint based on a lookback window that's wrapped in ATR bands. Importantly, it solves a specific trading problem:
Structural midpoints (macro context) are powerful but can lag when price escapes prior ranges. Enter rolling 50% fib + ATR ➡️ which restores real-time balance & tolerance (micro context). Together they show where price is balanced structurally, where it’s balanced right now, and how much volatility to tolerate before acting.
➖➖➖
🔑 Why this is different
Most tools either draw a single midpoint (ex., daily 50%) or ATR bands around a moving average. This script fuses dual swing-based 50% midpoints (structure) + a rolling 50% with ATR (flow), so you don’t lose context when price escapes prior ranges. The cloud tells you who’s in control (fast vs. slow structure). The rolling 50% + ATR tells you how far is “too far” now.
➖➖➖
🧠 What it does (at a glance)
🔸Structural Equilibrium × 2 (Fib1/Fib2)
Two independent 50% midpoints formed from swing pivots (configurable Left/Right bars + optional smoothing). Their gap is the Midpoint Cloud = structural “fair value” zone.
🔸Rolling 50% + ATR Bands
A rolling highest/lowest window computes an always-current 50% rolling midpoint plot; ±ATR × length envelopes define a soft value area and over-stretch boundaries.
🔸Actionable Visuals
Optional fill between Fib1/Fib2, labels, and candle-overlay modes to instantly read regime (above both / below both / between).
🔸Smart Defaults
Timeframe-aware presets for L/R pivots & smoothing; full manual overrides available.
➖➖➖
⚙️ Calculations (plain-English)
🔸Pivot midpoints (Fib1 & Fib2):
1) Detect a swing using `Left/Right` bars
2) Take the swing’s high/low → compute 50%
3) (Optional) Smooth the line (SMA) to stabilize on noisy TFs
4) Repeat with a different sensitivity to get two distinct midpoints
🔸Rolling midpoint:
Highest High / Lowest Low over the last *N* bars → (HH + LL) / 2
🔸ATR levels:
`Upper = Rolling50 + ATR × Mult`, `Lower = Rolling50 − ATR × Mult`
(Typical: ATR length 14–21; Multipliers 2.236 for L1, 5.382 for L2)
➖➖➖
🤖 Auto-Configured Presets (with Manual Override)
💡Goal: make the midpoints “just work” on common timeframes while still letting you dial them in.
💡How Auto Presets work
When Auto Presets = ON, the script picks sensible L/R/S (Left bars / Right bars / Smoothing) for Fib Trend 1 and Fib Trend 2 based on chart timeframe.
🔸Fib 1 (fast) emphasizes *micro-structure* for quicker bias shifts.
🔸Fib 2 (slow) emphasizes *macro-structure* for anchor/bias context.
These defaults keep Fib 1 responsive without jitter and Fib 2 stable without lag.
➡️ Turn Auto Presets = OFF to take full control with the manual inputs described below.
➖➖➖
🛠 Manual Fib Midpoint Settings (when Auto = OFF)
💡Each midpoint uses three knobs:
🔸Pivot Left (L): bars to the left that must be lower/higher to qualify a swing
🔸Pivot Right (R): bars to the right that must be lower/higher to confirm the swing
🔸Smoothing (S): SMA period applied to the raw 50% midpoint (stabilizes noise)
5-Minute optimized defaults
🔸Fib Trend 1: `L21 / R5 / S55` → responsive local structure (entries/exits, re-balancing zones)
🔸Fib Trend 2: `L55 / R13 / S89` → broader structure (trend context, anchors/stops)
Timeframe guidance
🔸1m–3m: may feel a touch laggy → consider ~`L13 / R3 / S34`
🔸15m–1h: defaults remain strong → optionally ~`L34 / R8 / S89`
🔸4h+ : increase span for stability → `L89–144 / R13–21 / S144–233`
➡️ Rule of thumb: shorter L/R = faster detection, longer S = smoother line. Tune until Fib 1 captures the “active swing” and Fib 2 captures the “dominant swing” without whipsaw.
➖➖➖
🎛 Inputs (quick reference)
🔸Fib Trend 1/2: Source (High/Low/Close), Left/Right bars, Smoothing length, Show/Hide, Cloud fill toggle
🔸Rolling 50%: Lookback length, Price basis (Wicks/Close/HLC3/OHLC4), Plot scope (Full / Last N / None)
🔸ATR Bands: ATR length, Multipliers (L1/L2), Plot scope, Line width/colors
🔸Overlay & Labels: Candle overlay mode, Label padding/size, 50% centerline toggle, Plot widths
➖➖➖
🖍️ Candle Coloring & Overlay Modes
💡Purpose: make trend instantly visible on the candles and ATR levels.
1) Color Logic (dropdown)
🔸 Fib Midpoints — Colors by position of price vs. Fib 1 & Fib 2
🔸ATR Zones — Colors by which ATR zone price is in relative to the Rolling 50%
➡️ Price Reference: Choose the input used for the decision (Close, HL2, OHLC3, OHLC4).
➡️Tip: Close is crisp; HL2/OHLC variants are smoother.
2) Overlay Style (dropdown)
🔸 None — No visual change to candles
🔸 Bar Color — Uses `barcolor()` to tint built-in candles (this takes into account your Trading View settings, for instance if you have wicks set to white, they will show up as white with this setting)
🔸 PlotCandles — Draws unified custom candles (body, wick, border) with the same color for maximum clarity
💡Practical use
🔸 Pick Fib Midpoints to read structural bias at a glance (above/below/between the cloud).
🔸 Pick ATR Zones to read value vs. stretch around the Rolling 50% (mean-reversion vs. trend extension).
➖➖➖
📘 How to use
A) Trend confirmation
- Strong bullish bias when price holds above both structural mids; strong bearish when below both.
- Use the Rolling 50% + ATR as a dynamic re-entry zone: pullbacks that respect ATR(L1) often continue the prevailing trend.
B) Transition / mean reversion
- Inside the Cloud (between Fib1 & Fib2) treat behavior as neutralization/re-balancing; range tactics tend to outperform momentum plays.
- In ranges, fades near ±ATR around the rolling 50% can mark short-term edges.
C) Breakout context
- When price leaves the Cloud, the Rolling 50% keeps you anchored so price never feels “floating.” A clean hold outside ATR(L1/L2) suggests regime strength; quick re-entries hint at traps.
➖➖➖
🖼 Chart examples
➡️ Each snapshot shows how the Cloud (structure) and the Rolling 50% + ATR (flow) work together.
1) 1-Minute Downtrend – Cloud as Dynamic Ceiling
- The Cloud slopes down; pullbacks repeatedly fail under the Cloud’s underside.
- Rolling 50% (dashed mid) + ATR(L1) act as a reversion band: rallies stall near upper ATR and rotate lower.
2) 15-Minute Persistent Drift – Structure Guides, Flow Times Entries
- Long drift lower with Cloud overhead.
- Consolidations near the rolling mid resolve in the trend direction; ATR bands frame risk on each attempt.
3) 15-Minute Uptrend (BTC) – From Cloud Escape to Value Stair-Step
- After escaping the prior Cloud, rolling 50% + ATR establish a new higher value area.
- Pullbacks into ATR(L1) produce orderly stair-steps; Cloud remains supportive on deeper dips
4) 5-Minute BTC – Pullback to Value then Rotate
- Strong leg up; retrace tags lower ATR band and rotates back toward the rolling mid.
- Labels (Fib1/Fib2) make the structural context explicit for decision-making.
➖➖➖
🧪 Starter presets
- Intraday (5–15m): Fib1 ~ L21/R5 (smooth 5), Fib2 ~ L55/R13 (smooth 9) • Rolling = 55 • ATR = 14 • L1 = 2.5x, L2 = 5.0x
- Scalping: Shorten lookbacks & smoothing; keep ATR multipliers similar, or tighten L1.
- Swing: Lengthen all lookbacks; consider ATR length 21–28.

Trend Pivots Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Trend Pivots Profile is a dynamic volume profile tool that builds profiles around pivot points to reveal where liquidity accumulates during trend shifts. When the market is in an uptrend , the indicator generates profiles at low pivots . In a downtrend , it builds them at high pivots . Each profile is constructed using lower timeframe volume data for higher resolution, making it highly precise even in limited space. A colored trendline helps traders instantly recognize the prevailing trend and anticipate which type of profile (bullish or bearish) will form.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Driven Profiles : Profiles are only created when a new pivot forms, aligning liquidity analysis with market structure shifts.
Trend-Contextual : Profiles form at low pivots in uptrends and at high pivots in downtrends.
Lower Timeframe Data : Volume and close values are pulled from smaller timeframes to provide detailed, high-resolution profiles inside larger pivot windows.
Adaptive Bin Sizing : Bin size is automatically calculated relative to ATR, ensuring consistent precision across different markets and volatility conditions.
Point of Control (PoC) : The highest-volume level within each profile is marked with a PoC line that extends until the next pivot forms.
Trendline Visualization : A wide, semi-transparent line follows the rolling average of highs and lows, colored blue in uptrends and orange in downtrends.
🔵 FEATURES
Pivot Length Control : Adjust how far back the script looks to detect pivots (e.g., length 5 → profiles cover 10 bars after pivot).
Pivot Profile toggle :
On → draw the filled pivot profile + PoC + pivot label.
Off → hide profiles; show only PoC level (clean S/R mode).
Trend Length Filter : Smooths trendline detection to ensure reliable up/down bias.
Precise Volume Distribution : Volume is aggregated into bins, creating a smooth volume curve around the pivot range.
PoC Extension : Automatically extends the most active price level until a new pivot is confirmed.
Profile Visualization : Profiles appear as filled shapes anchored at the pivot candle, colored based on trend.
Trendline Overlay : Thick, semi-transparent trendline provides visual guidance on directional bias.
Automatic Cleanup : Old profiles are deleted once they exceed the chart’s capacity (default 25 stored profiles).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spotting Trend Liquidity : In an uptrend, monitor profiles at low pivots to see where buyers concentrated. In downtrends, use high-pivot profiles to spot sell-side pressure.
Watch the PoC : The PoC line highlights the strongest traded level of the pivot structure—expect reactions when price retests it.
Anticipate Trend Continuation/Reversal : Use the trendline (blue = bullish, orange = bearish) together with pivot profiles to forecast directional momentum.
Combine with HTF Context : Overlay with higher timeframe structure (order blocks, liquidity zones, or FVGs) for confluence.
Fine-Tune with Inputs : Adjust Pivot Length for sensitivity and Trend Length for smoother or faster trend shifts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Trend Pivots Profile blends pivot-based structure with precise volume profiling. By dynamically plotting profiles on pivots aligned with the prevailing trend, highlighting PoCs, and overlaying a directional trendline, it equips traders with a clear view of liquidity clusters and directional momentum—ideal for anticipating reactions, pullbacks, or breakouts.
Trendline Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant] Description
A single, rule-based system that builds two trendlines from confirmed swing pivots and trades their breakouts, with optional retest, trend-regime gates (EMA / HTF EMA), and ATR-based risk. All parts serve one decision flow: structure → breakout → gated entry → managed risk.
What it does (for traders)
Draws Up line (teal) through the last two Higher Lows and Down line (red) through the last two Lower Highs, then extends them forward.
Long when price breaks above red; Short when price breaks below teal.
Optional Retest entry: after a break, wait for a pullback toward the broken line within an ATR-scaled buffer.
Uses ATR stop and R-multiple target so risk is consistent across symbols/timeframes.
Labels HL1/HL2/LH1/LH2 so non-coders can verify which pivots built each line.
Why these components are combined
Pure breakout systems on trendlines suffer from three practical issues:
False breaks in chop → solved by trend-regime gates (EMA / HTF EMA) that only allow trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
Uneven volatility across markets/timeframes → solved by ATR-based stop/target, normalizing distance so R-multiples are comparable.
First break whipsaws near wedge apices → mitigated by the optional retest rule that demands a pullback/hold before entry.
These modules are not separate indicators with their own signals. They are support roles inside one method.
The pivot engine defines structure, the breakout detector defines signal, the regime gates decide if we’re allowed to take that signal, and the ATR module sizes risk.
Together they make the trendline breakout usable, testable, and explainable.
How it works (mechanism; each component explained)
1) Pivot engine (structure, non-repainting)
Swings are confirmed with ta.pivotlow/high(L, R). A pivot only exists after R bars (no look-ahead), so once plotted, the line built from those pivots will not repaint.
2) Trendline builder (geometry)
Teal line updates when two consecutive pivot lows satisfy HL2.price > HL1.price (and HL2 occurs after HL1).
Red line updates when two consecutive pivot highs satisfy LH2.price < LH1.price.
Lines are extended right and their current value is read every bar via line.get_price().
3) Breakout detector (signal)
On every bar, compute:
crossover(close, redLine) ⇒ Long breakout
crossunder(close, tealLine) ⇒ Short breakdown
4) Regime gates (trend filters, not separate signals)
EMA gate: allow longs only if close > EMA(len), shorts only if close < EMA(len).
HTF EMA gate (optional): same rule on a higher timeframe to avoid fighting the larger trend.
These do not create entries; they simply permit or block the breakout signal.
5) Retest module (optional confirmation)
After a breakout, record the line price. A valid retest occurs if price pulls back within an ATR-scaled buffer toward that broken line and then closes back in the breakout direction.
This reduces first-tick fakeouts.
6) Risk module (position exit)
Initial stop = ATR(len) × atrMult from entry.
Target = tpR × (ATR × atrMult) (e.g., 2R).
This keeps results consistent across instruments/timeframes.
Entries & exits
Long entry
Base: close breaks above red and passes EMA/HTF gates.
Retest (if enabled): after the break, price pulls back near the broken red line (within the ATR buffer) and holds; then enter.
Short entry
Mirror logic with teal (break below & gates), optionally with a retest.
Exit
strategy.exit places ATR stop & R-multiple target automatically.
Optional “flip”: close if the opposite base signal triggers.
How to use it (step-by-step)
Timeframe: 1–15m for intraday, 1–4h for swing.
Start defaults: Pivot L/R = 5, EMA len = 200, ATR len = 14, ATR mult = 2, TP = 2R, Retest = ON.
Tune sensitivity:
Faster lines (more trades): set L/R = 3–4.
Fewer counter-trend trades: enable HTF EMA (e.g., 60-min or Daily).
Visual audit: labels HL1/HL2 & LH1/LH2 show which pivots built each line—verify by eye.
Alerts: use Long breakout, Short breakdown, and Retest alerts to automate.
Originality (why it merits publication)
Trades the visualization: many “auto-trendline” tools only draw lines; this one turns them into testable, alertable rules.
Integrated design: each component has a defined role in the same pipeline—no unrelated indicators bolted together.
Transparent & non-repainting: pivot confirmation removes look-ahead; labels let non-coders understand the setup that produced each signal.
Notes & limitations
Lines update only after pivot confirmation; that lag is intentional to avoid repainting.
Breakouts near an apex can whipsaw; prefer Retest and/or HTF gate in choppy regimes.
Backtests are idealized; forward-test and size risk appropriately.

TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICEDraws dynamic trendlines on price by connecting the two most recent confirmed swing points (highs to highs for resistance, lows to lows for support). Swings are defined with a symmetric left/right pivot window. Old anchors are ignored so lines stay attached to current structure. Optional break alerts are included.
How it works (plain language)
Pivots: A bar is a swing high (or low) only if it’s the most extreme point compared with a set number of bars on the left and the right.
Lines:
Support connects the last two confirmed swing lows.
Resistance connects the last two confirmed swing highs.
Lines can be extended right only or both left & right (toggle).
Recency filter: Only swings within the last N bars are kept. This avoids anchoring to very old pivots far from current price.
Alerts: Optional alerts fire when price closes above resistance or below support.
Inputs
Auto Settings
Auto pivot size by chart timeframe: When ON, the script picks a pivot size suitable for the current timeframe (you can scale it with Auto pivot multiplier). When OFF, the manual left/right inputs are used.
Auto pivot multiplier: Scales the auto pivot size (e.g., 1.5 makes pivots stricter).
Manual Pivots
Pivot Left / Pivot Right: Bars to the left/right required to confirm a swing. Example: Left=50 & Right=50 keeps only major swings.
Recency Filter
Use last N bars for pivots: Swings older than this window are discarded so trendlines stay relevant to current price.
Style
Support/Resistance color: Line colors.
Extend Left & Right: When ON, both endpoints extend; when OFF, lines extend to the right only.
Alerts
Enable Break Alerts: When ON, alert conditions are exposed:
Price: Break Up — close above resistance.
Price: Break Down — close below support.
Suggested settings
Higher timeframes (4H / 1D / 1W):
Manual: Pivot Left = 50, Pivot Right = 50, Use last N bars = 400–800.
Or enable Auto with Auto pivot multiplier = 1.0–1.5.
Intraday (15m / 30m / 1H):
Manual: Pivot Left = 30, Pivot Right = 30, Use last N bars = 300–500.
Or enable Auto with multiplier ≈ 1.0–1.2.
Pairing with RSI for confluence/divergence
This tool is designed to pair with a companion TRAPPER TRENDLINES — RSI (or any RSI trendline script):
To mirror swings, set RSI Pivot Lookback equal to the price Pivot Left/Right you use here.
Example: Price = 50/50 → RSI Pivot Lookback = 50.
Keep RSI at Length 14 with 70/30 channel for clarity.
Confluence: Price holds/rejects at a trendline while RSI trendline agrees.
Divergence: Price prints a higher high (resistance line rising) while RSI prints a lower high (RSI resistance line falling), or vice-versa for lows. Matching pivot windows makes these relationships clear and reduces false signals.
Reading the signals
Trendline touch/hold: Potential reaction area; wait for follow-through.
Break Up / Break Down (alerts): Close beyond the line. Consider retest behavior, higher-timeframe context, and volume/RSI confirmation.
Notes & limitations
Pivots require future bars to confirm (by design). Lines update as pivots confirm.
“Use last N bars” purposely ignores very old swings. Increase this value if you need legacy structure.
Lines are based on two most recent confirmed pivots per side; rapidly changing markets can replace anchors as new swings confirm.
This is a visual/analytical tool. No strategy entries/exits or performance claims are provided.
Compliance
This script is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves risk. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. No promises of profit, accuracy, or performance are made.
Alerts (titles/messages)
Price: Break Up — “Price broke above resistance trendline.”
Price: Break Down — “Price broke below support trendline.”
Quick start
Add the indicator to your chart.
Choose Auto or set Pivot Left/Right manually.
Set Use last N bars for how far back to consider swings.
Toggle Extend Left & Right to your preference.
(Optional) Add your RSI trendline indicator and match Pivot Lookback with your price pivot size for clean confluence/divergence.
Enable alerts if you want notifications on breaks.
Trend Flow Trail [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script overlays a custom hybrid indicator called the Money Flow Trail which combines a volatility-based trend-following trail with a volume-weighted momentum oscillator. It’s built around two core components: the AlphaTrail—a dynamic band system influenced by Hull MA and volatility—and a smoothed Money Flow Index (MFI) that provides insights into buying or selling pressure. Together, these tools are used to color bars, generate potential reversal markers, and assist traders in identifying trend continuation or exhaustion phases in any market or timeframe.
CONCEPTS
The AlphaTrail calculates a volatility-adjusted channel around price using the Hull Moving Average as the base and an EMA of range as the spread. It adaptively shifts based on price interaction to capture trend reversals while avoiding whipsaws. The direction (bullish or bearish) determines both the band being tracked and how the trail locks in. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is derived from hlc3 and volume, measuring buying vs selling pressure, and is further smoothed with a short Hull MA to reduce noise while preserving structure. These two systems work in tandem: AlphaTrail governs directional context, while MFI refines the timing.
FEATURES
Dynamic AlphaTrail line with regime switching logic that controls directional bias and bar coloring.
Smoothed MFI with gradient coloring to visually communicate pressure and exhaustion levels.
Overbought/oversold thresholds (80/20), mid-level (50), and custom extreme zones (90/10) for deeper signal granularity.
Built-in take-profit signal logic: crossover of MFI into overbought with bullish AlphaTrail, or into oversold with bearish AlphaTrail.
Visual fills between price and AlphaTrail for clearer confirmation during trend phases.
Alerts for regime shifts, MFI crossovers, trail interactions, and bar color regime changes.
USAGE
Add the indicator to any chart. Use the AlphaTrail plot to define trend context: bullish (trailing below price) or bearish (trailing above). MFI values give supporting confirmation—favor long setups when MFI is rising and above 50 in a bullish regime, and shorts when MFI is falling and below 50 in a bearish regime. The colored fills help visually track strength; sharp changes in MFI crossing 80/20 or 90/10 zones often precede pullbacks or reversals. Use the plotted circles as optional take-profit signals when MFI and trend are extended. Adjust AlphaTrail length/multiplier and MFI smoothing to better match the asset’s volatility profile.
Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman) is a precision-engineered trend-following system that visualizes discrete trend progression using volatility-scaled step logic. It replaces traditional slope-based tracking with clearly defined “trend steps,” capturing directional momentum only when price action decisively confirms a shift through an ATR-based trigger.
This tool is ideal for traders who prefer structured, stair-step progression over fluid curves, and value the clarity of momentum-based bands that reveal breakout conviction, pullback retests, and consolidation zones. The channel width adapts automatically to market volatility, while the step logic filters out noise and false flips.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
This indicator is built on a core market structure observation:
After each strong trend impulse, the market typically enters a “cooling-off” phase as profit-taking occurs and counter-trend participants enter. This often results in a shallow pullback or stall, creating a slight negative slope in an uptrend (or a positive slope in a downtrend).
These “cooling-off” phases don’t reverse the trend — they signal temporary pressure before the next leg continues. By tracking trend steps discretely and filtering for this behavior, Trend Impulse Channels helps traders align with the rhythm of impulse → pause → impulse.
█ How It Works
⚪ Step-Based Trend Engine
At the heart of this tool is a dynamic step engine that progresses only when price crosses a predefined ATR-scaled trigger level:
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) – Defines how far price must break beyond the current trend state to register a new trend step.
Step Size (Volatility-Guided) – Each trend continuation moves the trend line in discrete units, scaling with ATR and trend persistence.
Trend Direction State – Maintains a +1/-1 internal bias to support directional filters and step tracking.
⚪ Volatility-Adaptive Channel
Each step is wrapped inside a dynamic envelope scaled to current volatility:
Upper and Lower Bands – Derived from ATR and band multipliers to expand/contract as volatility changes.
⚪ Retest Signal System
Optional signal markers show when price re-tests the upper or lower band:
Upper Retest → Pullback into resistance during a bearish trend.
Lower Retest → Pullback into support during a bullish trend.
⚪ Trend Step Signals
Circular markers can be shown to mark each time the trend steps forward, making it easy to identify structurally significant moments of continuation within a larger trend.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Alignment
Use the Trend Line and Step Markers to visually confirm the direction of momentum. If multiple trend steps occur in sequence without reversal, this typically signals strong conviction and trend persistence.
⚪ Retest-Based Entries
Wait for pullbacks into the channel and monitor for triangle retest signals. When used in confluence with trend direction, these offer high-quality continuation setups.
⚪ Breakouts
Look for breakouts beyond the upper or lower band after a longer period of pause. For higher likelihood of success, look for breakouts in the direction of the trend.
█ Settings
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) - Defines how far price must move to register a new trend step. Controls sensitivity to trend flips.
Max Step Size (× ATR) - Caps how far each trend step can extend. Prevents runaway step expansion in high volatility.
Band Multiplier (× ATR) - Expands the upper and lower channels. Controls how much breathing room the bands allow.
Trend Hold (bars) - Minimum number of bars the trend must remain active before allowing a flip. Helps reduce noise.
Filter by Trend - Restrict retest signals to those aligned with the current trend direction.

Machine Learning Trendlines Cluster [LuxAlgo]The ML Trendlines Cluster indicator allows traders to automatically identify trendlines using a machine learning algorithm based on k-means clustering and linear regression, highlighting trendlines from clustered prices.
For trader's convenience, trendlines can be filtered based on their slope, allowing them to filter out trendlines that are too horizontal, or instead keep them depending on the user-selected settings.
🔶 USAGE
Traders only need to set the number of trendlines (clusters) they want the tool to detect and the algorithm will do the rest.
By default the tool is set to detect 4 clusters over the last 500 bars, in the image above it is set to detect 10 clusters over the same period.
This approach only focuses on drawing trendlines from prices that share a common trading range, offering a unique perspective to traditional trendlines. Trendlines with a significant slope can highlight higher dispersion within its cluster.
🔹 Trendline Slope Filtering
Traders can filter trendlines by their slope to display only steep or flat trendlines relative to a user-defined threshold.
The image above shows the three different configurations of this feature:
Filtering disabled
Filter slopes above threshold
Filter slopes below threshold
🔶 DETAILS
K-means clustering is a popular machine-learning algorithm that finds observations in a data set that are similar to each other and places them in a group.
The process starts by randomly assigning each data point to an initial group and calculating the centroid for each. A centroid is the center of the group. K-means clustering forms the groups in such a way that the variances between the data points and the centroid of the cluster are minimized.
The trendlines are displayed according to the linear regression function calculated for each cluster.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window Size: Maximum number of bars to get data from
Clusters: Maximum number of clusters (trendlines) to detect
🔹 Optimization
Maximum Iteration Steps: Maximum loop iterations for cluster computation
🔹 Slope Filter
Threshold Multiplier: Multiplier applied to a volatility measure, higher multiplier equals higher threshold
Filter Slopes: Enable/Disable Trendline Slope Filtering, select to filter trendlines with slopes ABOVE or BELOW the threshold
🔹 Style
Upper Zone: Color to display in the top zone
Lower Zone: Color to display in the bottom zone
Lines: Style for the lines

HTF Trend Tracker [BigBeluga]HTF Trend Tracker is a higher timeframe (HTF) trend tracking indicator designed to help traders identify significant trends, key levels, and market sentiment. The indicator dynamically adapts to the current price action, using HTF highs and lows to display trend direction and strength with detailed visuals.
🔵 Key Features:
Dynamic Trend Detection:
Uptrend is identified when the price closes above the HTF high.
Downtrend is detected when the price closes below the HTF low.
Midline changes color dynamically based on the trend direction:
Bullish Green: Indicates an uptrend.
Bearish Red: Indicates a downtrend.
Historical and Active HTF Levels:
Historic HTF highs and lows are displayed as dotted lines.
Current active HTF high and low levels are shown as solid lines.
Timeframe labels (e.g., "1D High" or "1D Low") mark the active levels for clarity.
Trend Change Signals:
A green checkmark (✓) is plotted when an uptrend starts.
A red cross (✕) appears when a downtrend begins.
Trend-Based Candle Coloring:
Candle colors change dynamically based on the trend and the price's distance from the midline:
Intense Bullish Green: Price is far above the midline during an uptrend.
Intense Bearish Red: Price is far below the midline during a downtrend.
Neutral Gray: Price is near the midline.
Users can customize the colors to suit their preferences.
🔵 Usage:
Identify uptrends and downtrends using the midline's color and the position of the close relative to the HTF levels.
Use solid lines and timeframe labels to track current HTF high and low levels.
Observe dotted lines for historical HTF levels to understand past price behavior.
Watch for checkmark (✓) and cross (✕) signals to spot trend changes and key market shifts.
Monitor candle colors to gauge trend intensity and proximity to the midline:
Intense colors signal strong trends, while neutral gray indicates consolidation near the midline.
HTF Trend Tracker is an essential tool for traders aiming to follow higher timeframe trends, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions based on price dynamics and trend strength. Its customizable features allow for flexible integration into any trading strategy.
Market Trend Levels Detector [BigBeluga]Market Trend Levels Detector is an trend-following tool that utilizes moving average crossovers to identify key market trend levels. By detecting local highs and lows after EMA crossovers, the indicator helps traders track significant price zones and trend strength.
🔵 Key Features:
EMA Crossover-Based Trend Levels Detection:
Uses a fast and slow EMA to detect market flow shifts.
When the fast EMA crosses under the slow EMA, the indicator searches for the most recent local top and marks it with a label and horizontal level.
When the fast EMA crosses over the slow EMA, it searches for the most recent local low and marks it accordingly.
Dynamic Zone Levels:
Each detected high or low is plotted as a horizontal level, highlighting important price zones.
Traders can extend these levels to observe how price interacts with them over time.
If price crosses a level, its extension stops. Uncrossed levels continue expanding.
Gradient Trend Band Visualization:
