Trendline Breakout Navigator [LuxAlgo]The Trendline Breakout Navigator indicator shows three trendlines, representing trends of different significance between Swing Points.
Dots highlight a Higher Low (HL) or Lower High (LH) that pierces through the Trendline without the closing price breaking the Trendline.
A bar color and background color option is included, which offers insights into the price against the trendlines.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines (TL) are drawn, starting as a horizontal line from a Swing Point.
When an HL (in the case of a bullish TL) or an LH (bearish TL) is found, this Swing Point is connected to the first Swing Point. In both cases, the TL can be optimized when one or more historical close prices breach the TL (see DETAILS).
A solid-styled long-term trendline represents the overall market direction, while a dashed-styled medium-term trendline captures medium-term movements within the long-term trend. Finally, a dotted-styled short-term trendline tracks short-term fluctuations.
🔹 Swing Points vs. Trend
A "Higher High" (HH) or "Lower Low" (LL) will initialize a new trendline, respectively, starting from the previous "Swing Low" or Swing High".
To spot the trend shift, "HH/LL" labels and an optional background color are included. They can be enabled/disabled or set at "Long, Medium, or Short" term TL (Settings—"MS", "HH/LL" and "Background Color").
These features are linked to one Trendline of choice only.
Where the "HH/LL" labels can show a potential trend shift, the background color is:
Green from the moment the close price breaks above a bearish trendline or when an HH occurs
Red from the moment the close price breaks below a bullish trendline or when an LL occurs
🔹 Bar Color
The bar color will depend on the location of the closing price against the three trendlines. When a trendline is unavailable (for example, if the close price breaks the TL and there is no HH/LL), the last known trendline value will be considered.
All three trendlines influence the bar color.
If the close price is above the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of green, darker when the close price is below the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
On the other hand, when the close price is below the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of red, which becomes darker when the close price is above the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
To keep the above example simple, only the "Long Term" TL is considered. The white line (not included in the script) resembles the actual value of the TL at each bar, where you can see the effect on the bar color.
Combined with the trendlines and dots, the bar color can provide extra depth and insights into the underlying trends.
🔹 Tested Trendlines
If a new HL/LH pierces the Trendline without the close price breaking the Trendline, the Trendline will be updated.
The exact location where the price exceeded the Trendline is visualized by a dot, colored blue on a bullish trendline and orange when bearish.
These dots can be indicative of a potential trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Higher TimeFrame Option
The "Period" setting enables users to visualize higher-timeframe trendlines as long as the line length doesn't exceed 5000 bars.
🔶 DETAILS
When a new trendline is drawn, the script first draws a preliminary line and then checks whether a historical close price exceeded this line above (in the case of a bearish TL) or below (in a bullish case).
Subsequently, the most valid point in between is chosen as the starting point of the Trendline.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Choose "chart" for trendlines from the current chart timeframe, or choose a higher timeframe
🔹 Swing Length
Toggle and Swing Length for three trendlines: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Style
Trendline: color for bullish/bearish Trendline
Wick Dot: color for bullish/bearish trendline test
Term: Long-, medium- or short-term
HH/LL: Show HH/LL labels (with or without previous Swing High/Low) of chosen Term
Background Color: Green when the closing price is above the trendline of choice, red otherwise

Trendline Pivots [QuantVue]Trendline Pivots
The Trend Line Pivot Indicator works by automatically drawing and recognizing downward trendlines originating from and connecting pivot highs or upward trendlines originating from and connecting pivot lows.
These trendlines serve as reference points of potential resistance and support within the market.
Once identified, the trend line will continue to be drawn and progress with price until one of two conditions is met: either the price closes(default setting) above or below the trend line, or the line reaches a user-defined maximum length.
If the price closes(default setting) above a down trend line or below an up trend line, an "x" is displayed, indicating the resistance or support has been broken. At the same time, the trend line transforms into a dashed format, enabling clear differentiation from active non-breached trend lines.
This indicator is fully customizable from line colors, pivot length, the number lines you wish to see on your chart and works on any time frame and any market.
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!
Cheers.

Trendline Breakouts With Volume Strength [TradeDots]Trendline Breakouts With Volume Strength is an innovative indicator designed to identify potential market turning points using pivot-based trendline detection and volume confirmation. By merging dynamic trendline analysis with multi-tiered volume filters, this tool helps traders quickly spot breakouts or breakdowns that may signal significant shifts in price action.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Pivot-Based Trendline Detection
The script automatically scans for recent pivot highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period.
When it finds higher pivot lows, it plots green uptrend lines; when it finds lower pivot highs, it plots red downtrend lines.
These dynamic lines update as new pivots form, providing continuously refreshed trend guidance.
2. Volume Ratio Analysis
A moving average of volume is compared against the current bar’s volume to calculate a ratio (e.g., 1.5×, 2×).
Higher ratios suggest above-average volume, often interpreted as stronger participation.
The script applies color-coded cues to highlight the intensity of volume surges.
3. Breakout & Breakdown Detection
Each trendline is monitored for a defined “break threshold,” which helps avoid minor penetrations that can trigger premature signals.
When price closes beyond a threshold below an uptrend line, the indicator labels it a “BREAKDOWN.” If it closes above a threshold on a downtrend line, it labels it a “BREAKOUT.”
Volume surges accompanying these breaks are highlighted with contextual emojis and distinct color gradients for quick visual reference.
4. Trend Direction Table
A small on-chart table provides a snapshot of the current market trend—Uptrend, Downtrend, or Sideways—based on a simple moving average slope and the number of active uptrend or downtrend lines.
This table also displays quick stats on how many lines are actively tracked, helping traders assess the broader market posture at a glance.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
1. Choose a Timeframe
This script works on multiple timeframes. Intraday traders can monitor minute or hourly charts for frequent pivot updates, while swing and position traders may prefer daily or weekly intervals to reduce noise.
2. Observe Trendlines & Labels
Watch for newly drawn green/red lines connecting pivots.
When you see a “BREAKOUT” or “BREAKDOWN” label, confirm whether volume was abnormally high based on the ratio or color-coded bars.
3. Consult the Trend Table
Use the table in the bottom-right corner to quickly check if the market is trending or range-bound.
Look at the count of active uptrend vs. downtrend lines to gauge broader sentiment.
4. Employ Additional Analysis
Combine these signals with other tools (e.g., candlestick patterns, oscillators, or fundamental analysis).
Validate potential breakouts using standard techniques like retests or support/resistance checks.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Delayed Pivots: Trendlines only adjust once new pivot highs or lows form, which can introduce a slight lag in highly volatile environments.
Choppy Markets: Rapid, back-and-forth price moves may produce conflicting trendline signals and frequent breakouts/breakdowns.
Volume Data Reliability: Gaps in volume data or unusual market conditions (holidays, low-liquidity sessions) can skew ratio readings.
RISK DISCLAIMER

Trend Strength Over TimeThe script serves as an indicator designed to assess and visualize trend strength and Volume strength over time. It employs a variety of calculations and conditions to offer insights into both bullish and bearish market trends. Let's explore the key conceptual elements of the code.
Trend Strength Conditions:
The script defines conditions to assess trend strength based on a comparison between each calculated percentile value and the highest high (bullish) or lowest low (bearish). Separate conditions are established for each percentile length, allowing for a nuanced understanding of trend dynamics across different timeframes.
Counting Bull and Bear Trends:
To quantify the strength of bullish and bearish trends, the script maintains counts for the number of conditions that are true for each. This count-based approach provides a quantitative measure of trend strength.
Weak Bull and Bear Counts:
Recognizing that trends are not always clear-cut, the script introduces the concept of weak trends. It counts instances where the percentiles fall between the highest high and lowest low, indicating a potential weakening of the prevailing trend.
Bull and Bear Strength:
Bull and bear strengths are calculated based on the counts, with adjustments made for weak trends. This step provides a more nuanced and comprehensive assessment of trend strength by considering both strong and weak signals.
Current Trend Value:
The culmination of these calculations is the determination of the current trend value. This value represents the balance between bullish and bearish forces, offering a dynamic indicator of the market's prevailing sentiment.
Volume Strength Calculation:
In addition to price-based indicators, the script incorporates volume strength as a crucial element. This is calculated using the simple moving averages (SMAs) of volume over different lengths, normalized relative to the SMA over a length of 144. Volume strength adds a layer of confirmation or divergence to the price-based trend analysis.
Color Change:
To facilitate quick and intuitive interpretation, the script dynamically changes the color of the plotted line on the chart based on the current trend value. Green indicates a bullish trend, red indicates a bearish trend, and blue suggests a neutral or indecisive market.
Plotting:
The script uses the plot function to visually present the calculated trend strength and volume strength on the chart. This visual representation aids traders in making informed decisions based on the identified trends and their strengths.
Volume Strength: A Detailed Explanation
In the context of the provided script, volume strength is a critical component used to assess the strength of a market trend. It provides insights into the level of participation and commitment of market participants, offering a complementary perspective to traditional price-based indicators. Let's delve into the concept and practical applications of volume strength.
Calculation of Volume Strength:
The script calculates volume strength by considering the simple moving averages (SMAs) of volume over different time periods (13, 21, 34, 55, 89). These individual SMAs are then normalized relative to the SMA over a more extended period of 144. The weights assigned to each SMA in the calculation are defined in the variable VCF (Volume Correction Factor).
Calculation of Volume Strength with Weights: The weights assigned to each SMA in this calculation are crucial for emphasizing the significance of shorter-term volume movements relative to a longer-term baseline.
Interpretation of Weights:
The choice of weights reflects the relative importance of shorter-term volume movements compared to longer-term trends. In this script, shorter-term SMAs (13, 21, 34, 55, 89) are assigned decreasing weights, while the longer-term SMA (144) serves as the baseline.
Shorter-term SMAs with higher weights may have a more immediate impact on the volume strength calculation. This implies that recent changes in volume carry more weight in assessing the current market conditions.
The decreasing weights for shorter-term SMAs might indicate that, as the timeframe lengthens, the significance of recent volume movements diminishes in relation to the longer-term trend. This approach allows for a focus on both short-term volatility and longer-term stability in volume patterns.
The purpose of normalization is to emphasize the current volume's significance in comparison to its historical context. This can help identify abnormal volume spikes or sustained increases in trading activity, which may indicate the strength or weakness of a trend.
Interpretation and Practical Use:
Confirmation of Trend:
Rising volume during an uptrend can validate the strength of the upward movement, suggesting that a significant number of market participants are actively buying. Conversely, decreasing volume during an uptrend might indicate weakening interest and a potential reversal.
In a downtrend, increasing volume on downward price movements reinforces the strength of the trend. A decrease in volume during a downtrend may suggest a potential weakening or exhaustion of the downward momentum.
Divergence Analysis:
Divergence occurs when there is a disagreement between the price movement and the corresponding volume. For example, if prices are rising but volume is declining, it could signal a lack of conviction in the upward movement, and a reversal might be imminent.
Conversely, if prices are falling, but volume is decreasing as well, it might suggest that the downward momentum is losing steam, and a potential reversal or consolidation could be on the horizon.
In conclusion, volume strength analysis provides traders with a powerful tool to gauge the conviction behind price movements. By incorporating volume data into the technical analysis, one can make more informed decisions, enhance trend identification, and improve risk management strategies.
Trend Exhaustion IndicatorThe Trend Exhaustion Indicator is a custom indicator of mine that is loosely based on the Trend Exhaustion Index created by Clifford L. Creel Ph.D. (Stocks & Commodities V. 9:1 (9-11))
This indicator will let you know the trend reversal points and when it falls below the signal line then the trend is ending vice versa. Buy when the indicator crosses above the signal line and sell when it falls below the signal line.

Trendlines Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines Oscillator helps traders identify trends and momentum based on the normalized distances between the current price and the most recently detected bullish and bearish trend lines.
The indicator features bullish and bearish momentum, a signal line with crossings, and multiple smoothing options.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator displays three lines: two for momentum and one for the signal. When one of the momentum lines (bullish or bearish) crosses the signal line, the tool displays a dot to indicate which momentum is gaining strength.
As a general rule, when the green bullish momentum line is above the red bearish momentum line, it indicates buyer strength. This means that the actual prices are farther from the support trend lines than the resistance trend lines. The opposite is true for seller strength.
To calculate bullish momentum, the tool first identifies bullish trend lines acting as support below the price. Then, it measures the delta between the price and those trend lines and normalizes the reading into the displayed momentum values.
The same process is used for bearish momentum, but with bearish trendlines acting as resistance above the price.
🔹 Length & Memory
Modifying the Length and Memory values will cause the tool to display different momentum values.
Traders can adjust the length to detect larger trendlines and adjust the memory to indicate how many trendlines the tool should consider.
As the chart above shows, smaller values make the tool more responsive, while larger values are useful for detecting larger trends.
🔹 Smoothing
By default, the data is not smoothed, and the signal uses a triangular moving average with a length of 10. Traders can smooth both the data and the signal line.
Traders can choose from up to ten different methods, or none. Some examples are shown on the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
The steps for the calculations are as follows:
1. Gather the pivots, highs, and lows.
ph = fixnan(ta.pivothigh(lengthInput, lengthInput))
pl = fixnan(ta.pivotlow(lengthInput, lengthInput))
2. Calculate the slope and y-intercept for each trendline between contiguous lower highs (resistance) or higher lows (support).
if ph < ph
slope = (ph - ph )/(n-lengthInput - phx1)
res.unshift(l.new(ph - slope * phx1, slope))
if pl > pl
slope = (pl - pl )/(n-lengthInput - plx1)
sup.unshift(l.new(pl - slope * plx1, slope))
3. Calculate the value of each trendline on the current bar, then calculate the difference with the current price (delta). To calculate the relative sum of deltas, only consider trendlines below the price for support or above the price for resistance.
method get_point(l id, x)=>
id.slope * x + id.intercept
for element in sup
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput > point
sup_sum += sourceInput - point
sup_den += math.abs(sourceInput - point)
for element in res
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput < point
res_sum += point - sourceInput
res_den += math.abs(point - sourceInput)
4. Normalize the value from 0 to 100 by taking the sum of the relative values of the deltas divided by the sum of the absolute values of the deltas.
float supportLine = sup_sum / sup_den * 100
float resistanceLine = res_sum / res_den * 100
5. Smooth both values, then calculate the signal line as the difference between them.
float smoothSupport = smooth(supportLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float smoothResistance = smooth(resistanceLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float signal = math.abs(smoothSupport - smoothResistance)
float signalLine = smooth(signal,smoothingInput,smoothingLengthInput)
6. Calculate the crossing signals against the signal line, using only the first signal from each series of bullish or bearish crossings.
bullSignal = smoothSupport > signalLine and smoothSupport < signalLine
bearSignal = smoothResistance > signalLine and smoothResistance < signalLine
lastSignal := bullSignal and lastSignal == BEAR ? BULL : bearSignal and lastSignal == BULL ? BEAR : lastSignal
firstBull = ta.change(lastSignal) > 0
firstBear = ta.change(lastSignal) < 0
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: The size of the market structure used for trendline detection.
Memory: The number of trendlines used in calculations.
Source: The source for the calculations is closing prices by default.
🔹 Smoothing

Trend Line Trendlines are easily recognizable lines that traders draw on charts to connect a series of prices together or show some data's best fit. The resulting line is then used to give the trader a good idea of the direction in which an investment's value might move.
A trendline is a line drawn over pivot highs or under pivot lows to show the prevailing direction of price. Trendlines are a visual representation of support and resistance in any time frame. They show direction and speed of price, and also describe patterns during periods of price contraction.
Key Takeaways
Trendlines indicate the best fit of some data using a single line.
A single trendline can be applied to a chart to give a clearer picture of the trend.
The time period being analyzed and the exact points used to create a trendline vary from trader to trader.
The trendline is among the most important tools used by technical analysts. Instead of looking at past business performance or other fundamentals, technical analysts look for trends in price action. A trendline helps technical analysts determine the current direction in market prices. Technical analysts believe the trend is your friend, and identifying this trend is the first step in the process of making a good trade.
To create a trendline, an analyst must have at least two points on a price chart. Some analysts like to use different time frames such as one minute or five minutes. Others look at daily charts or weekly charts. Some analysts put aside time altogether, choosing to view trends based on tick intervals rather than intervals of time. What makes trendlines so universal in usage and appeal is they can be used to help identify trends regardless of the time period, time frame or interval used.
Trend Friendly RSITrend Friendly RSI
Unlike the standard RSI, "Trend Friendly RSI" adapts to the trend. RSI and other momentum-based oscillators cannot give a buy signal in uptrends and a sell signal in downtrends because they do not take into account the momentum of the trend and behave as if the price is in a constant sideways trend. "Trend Friendly RSI", on the other hand, takes into account the momentum of the trend of your chosen length and subtracts it from the current momentum, thus giving more realistic buy and sell signals.
use it to identify your long-term investments and trading entry points for hodl. It would be wise to use this indicator for assets that you have done fundamental analysis and are sure of the trend direction. it doesn't know what the price will do, it just shows the points that are suitable for you.
remember this indicator will fail in horizontal trends.
Trendlines with Breaks [LuxAlgo]The trendlines with breaks indicator return pivot point based trendlines with highlighted breakouts. Users can control the steepness of the trendlines as well as their slope calculation method.
Trendline breakouts occur in real-time and are not subject to backpainting. Trendlines can however be subject to repainting unless turned off from the user settings.
The indicator includes integrated alerts for trendline breakouts.
🔶 USAGE
Any valid trendlines methodology can be used with the indicator, users can identify breakouts in order to infer future price movements.
The calculation method of the slope greatly affects the trendline's behaviors. By default, an average true range is used, returning a more constant slope amongst trendlines. Other methods might return trendlines with significantly different slopes.
Stdev makes use of the standard deviation for the slope calculation, while Linreg makes use of the slope of a linear regression.
The above chart shows the indicator using "Stdev" as a slope calculation method. The chart below makes use of the "Linreg" method.
By default trendlines are subject to backpainting, and as such are offset by length bars in the past. Disabling backpainting will not offset the trendlines.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Pivot points period
Slope: Slope steepness, values greater than 1 return a steeper slope. Using a slope of 0 would be equivalent to obtaining levels.
Slope Calculation Method: Determines how the slope is calculated.
Backpaint: Determine whether trendlines are backpainted, that is offset to past.
Trend Following or Mean RevertingThe strategy checks nature of the instruments. It Buys if the close is greater than yesterday's high, reverse the position if the close is lower than yesterday's low and repeat the process.
1. If it is trend following then the equity curve will be in uptrend
2. If it is mean reverting then the equity curve will be downtrend

Trend CandlesTrend 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.
Disclaimer
The information provided by the Trend Candles indicator is for educational purposes only. It should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Always do your own research and use risk management practices.
Trend Strength Index [Alpha Extract]The Trend Strength Index leverages Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and Average True Range (ATR) to quantify trend intensity in cryptocurrency markets, particularly Bitcoin. The combination of VWMA and ATR is particularly powerful because VWMA provides a more accurate representation of the market's true average price by weighting periods of higher trading volume more heavily—capturing genuine momentum driven by increased participation rather than treating all price action equally, which is crucial in volatile assets like Bitcoin where volume spikes often signal institutional interest or market shifts.
Meanwhile, ATR normalizes this measurement for volatility, ensuring that trend strength readings remain comparable across different market conditions; without ATR's adjustment, raw price deviations from the mean could appear artificially inflated during high-volatility periods (like during news events or liquidations) or understated in low-volatility sideways markets, leading to misleading signals. Together, they create a volatility-adjusted, volume-sensitive metric that reliably distinguishes between meaningful trend developments and noise.
This indicator measures the normalized distance between price and its volume-weighted mean, providing a clear visualization of trend strength while accounting for market volatility. It helps traders identify periods of strong directional movement versus consolidation, with color-coded gradients for intuitive interpretation.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes price data through these analytical stages:
Volume Weighted Moving Average: Computes a smoothed average weighted by trading volume
Volatility Normalization: Uses ATR to account for market volatility
Distance Measurement: Calculates absolute deviation between current price and VWMA
Strength Normalization: Divides price deviation by ATR for a volatility-adjusted metric
Formula:
VWMA = Volume-Weighted Moving Average of Close over specified length
ATR = Average True Range over specified length
Price Distance = |Close - VWMA|
Trend Strength = Price Distance / ATR
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
VWMA Line: Blue line overlay on the price chart representing the volume-weighted mean
Trend Strength Area: Histogram-style area plot with dynamic color gradient (red for weak trends, transitioning through orange and yellow to green for strong trends)
Threshold Line: Horizontal red line at the customizable Trend Enter level
Background Highlight: Subtle green background when trend strength exceeds the enter threshold for strong trend visualization
Alert System: Triggers notifications for strong trend detection
Interpretation:
0-Weak (Red): Minimal trend strength, potential consolidation or ranging market
Mid-Range (Orange/Yellow): Building momentum, watch for breakout potential
At/Above Enter Threshold (Green): Strong trend conditions, potential for continued directional moves
Threshold Crossing: Trend strength crossing above the enter level signals increasing conviction in the current direction
Color Transitions: Gradual shifts from warm (red/orange) to cool (green) tones indicate strengthening trends
🔶 EXAMPLES
Strong Trend Entry: When trend strength crosses above the enter threshold (e.g., 1.2), it identifies the onset of a powerful move where price deviates significantly from the mean.
Example: During a rally, trend strength rising from yellow (around 1.0) to green (1.2+) often precedes sustained upward momentum, providing entry opportunities for trend followers.
Consolidation Detection: Low trend strength values in red shades (below 0.5) highlight periods of low volatility and mean reversion potential.
Example: After a sharp sell-off, persistent red values signal a likely sideways phase, allowing traders to avoid whipsaws and wait for orange/yellow transitions as a precursor to recovery.
Volatility-Adjusted Pullbacks: In volatile markets, the ATR component ensures trend strength remains accurate; a dip back to yellow from green during minor corrections can indicate healthy pullbacks within a strong trend.
Example: Trend strength briefly falling to yellow levels (e.g., 0.8-1.1) after hitting green provides profit-taking signals without invalidating the overall bullish bias if the VWMA holds as support.
Threshold Alert Integration: The alert condition combines strength value with the enter threshold for timely notifications.
Example: Receiving a "Strong Trend Detected" alert when the area plot turns green helps confirm Bitcoin's breakout from consolidation, aligning with increased volume for higher-probability trades.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
Lengths: VWMA length (default 14), ATR length (default 14)
Thresholds: Trend enter (default 1.2, step 0.1), trend exit (default 1.15, for potential future signal enhancements)
Visuals: Automatic color scaling with red at 0, transitioning to green at/above enter threshold
Alert Conditions: Strong trend detection (when strength > enter)
The Trend Strength Index equips traders with a robust, easy-to-interpret tool for gauging trend intensity in volatile markets like Bitcoin. By normalizing price deviations against volatility, it delivers reliable signals for identifying high-momentum opportunities while the gradient coloring and alerts facilitate quick assessments in both trending and choppy conditions.
Trend CounterTREND COUNTER is a Trend Exhaustion Indicator that tracks the persistence of price movements over a series of bars, helping traders identify potential trend exhaustion and reversals.
It compares each bar's value (typically the closing price) to a previous bar from a set lookback period (the lookback bar), counting consecutive bullish or bearish price movements.
The count resets when the trend reverses, signaling a potential shift in momentum.
• Price movement is considered bullish if the current price exceeds the lookback bar's price, incrementing the bullish count with each consecutive occurrence.
• Price movement is considered bearish if the current price is lower than the lookback bar's price, incrementing the bearish count with each consecutive occurrence.
• The count resets when the trend reverses.
• The user sets the threshold for sequence resets by defining the maximum number of consecutive occurrences.
• The count may reset before a trend reversal if it surpasses the user-defined threshold.
This type of indicator is useful for detecting trends, trend exhaustion, overbought or oversold conditions, and potential reversal points, helping traders anticipate market turns.
• Sequential occurrences gauge trend strength.
A long sequence of bullish bars suggests strong upward momentum, while consecutive bearish bars indicate sustained downward pressure.
This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or weaken.
• Identify thresholds for potential reversal points.
Counting consecutive bullish or bearish price movements can highlight overextended trends.
A trend reaching a predefined threshold may signal an upcoming reversal or momentum slowdown.
• Identify potential entry or exit points.
If trends are showing signs of exhaustion after a certain number of consecutive price movements, traders may use this for timing adjustments to their position.
• Assess risk.
Understanding trend strength helps traders better adjust stop-loss or take-profit levels.
Sequential counting provides a structured approach to trade management.
Visualization & Customization
The Sequential Momentum indicator visually represents consecutive bullish or bearish price movements to define trends and highlight key shifts.
• The bullish/bearish bar sequences are based on user-defined thresholds.
• Customizable bar coloring, labels, and plot shapes enhanced trend visualization.
• Dynamic color transitions make trend shifts easily identifiable.
Tracking consecutive bullish or bearish price movements can be effective when combined with other indicators or applied in specific market conditions (e.g., trending or volatile markets).
However, its reliability depends on market conditions and the trader’s interpretation.
This indicator is best used as a complementary tool rather than a standalone signal, helping traders visualize and quantify market momentum within a broader strategy.
Trending Market Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Trending Market Toolkit focuses exclusively on trending market structures and high-confluence, high-risk-to-reward entry models. It is designed to complement discretionary trading by offering different entry strategies based on market structure.
🔶 USAGE
In the chart above we can see how the tool detects several reversals, draws the broken trendlines, the reversal areas from which the tool starts looking for a trigger, and when it finally happens, a potential trade with risk and reward areas and the risk/reward ratio.
🔹 Detection Mode
Traders can choose between three different modes: trend only, reversal only, or both.
If both are active, reversals have priority over trends, so the tool will not detect a trend if a reversal is active.
In the chart above we can see all three modes.
🔹 Detection on Higher Timeframes
Traders can choose to identify structures on the chart timeframe or on a higher timeframe.
In the chart above, we have the SP500 futures on the 5m timeframe with different settings: chart timeframe, 30m, and 1H.
🔹 Risk And Targets
Depending on whether the high-risk/reward parameter is enabled, traders can choose between three different targets and two different stops.
The chart above shows how different choices affect the risk/reward ratio for the same potential trade on the Gold Futures 2m chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show: Traders can choose between Trends, Reversals or Both.
🔹 Structures
Swing Length: Number of candles to confirm a swing high or swing low. A higher number detects larger swings.
Custom Timeframe: Traders can make use of the current chart timeframe, or choose a custom timeframe.
Reversal Area Threshold: A higher number increases the reversal area.
🔹 Trades
Trade Trigger Length: Number of candles to confirm an internal high or internal low. A lower number detects smaller swings. It must be the same size or smaller than the swing length.
Target: Traders can choose between the default target (0) or two extended targets (0.27 or 0.618).
Risk to Reward Threshold: Set the minimum risk-to-reward ratio to detect trades. Use the 0 value to detect all trades.
High Risk to Reward: Enable/Disable the high risk to reward mode.
Trend Battery [Phantom]Trend Battery
Visualize Trend Strength with a Dynamic EMA Power Gauge
OVERVIEW
The Trend Battery indicator offers a clear, visual representation of trend strength based on the alignment of multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It assigns a color-coded score to each bar, helping traders quickly assess the prevailing trend's power and direction.
CONCEPT
• Trend Strength Using EMAs: The indicator analyzes the alignment of 20 EMAs (8 to 200 periods) to gauge trend strength. The more EMAs align, the stronger the trend.
• Gradient-Based Visualization: Scores are mapped to a color gradient, transitioning from green (bullish) to purple (bearish), providing an intuitive visual representation of trend momentum.
HOW IT WORKS
Trend Battery calculates 20 EMAs and evaluates their alignment. When EMAs align in a strong trend, the bar colors change (as displayed in battery color key on chart) displaying a spectrum of colors from bright green (strong uptrend) to deep purple (strong downtrend).
• Dynamic Bar Colors:
o Green hues: Strong bullish trends.
o Purple hues: Strong bearish trends.
o Red hues: Weaker trends or potential transitions.
FEATURES
• Dynamic Color Coding: Easy-to-read and instantly assess trend.
• Customizable Transparency: Adjust bar color opacity to your preference.
• Optional EMA Display: Toggle individual EMA lines on/off for additional context.
• Compact Battery View: Quick reference table displaying the gradient color mapping.
SETTINGS
• Transparency: Controls the opacity of bar colors.
• Show EMAs on Chart: Enables/disables plotting of EMA lines.
USAGE
• Identify trend strength and direction.
• Confirm trend reversals or continuations.
• Complement other indicators and strategies.
• Monitor multi-timeframe trends.
TRADE IDEAS:
• For larger timeframes purple hues can be used for accumulating and green hues for distribution.
• For smaller timeframes, color transitions could be a signal for trend reversal, or corrections.
• It is a good idea to use larger timeframes for overall trend directions, and smaller timeframes for entries.
LIMITATIONS
• Lagging Indicator: As the Trend Battery relies on Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), it is inherently a lagging indicator. This means it reflects past price action and may not always provide timely signals for rapid market changes or sudden reversals.
• False Signals in Sideways Markets: In ranging or consolidating markets, the indicator may produce mixed signals (frequent color changes) as EMAs intertwine without a clear trend. This can lead to false interpretations if not considered alongside other market context indicators.
• Not a Standalone System: The Trend Battery is designed to be a visual aid and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. It's most effective when combined with other technical analysis tools, such as oscillators, support/resistance levels, and fundamental analysis.
DISCLAIMER
Use the Trend Battery indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and risk management. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
