Core Concept
Markets are full of noise and behave differently depending on the underlying structure. Trend Algo uses an adaptive market structure approach — it analyzes various market characteristics to detect where and when a trend is most likely to shift. With advanced noise filtering and smoothing techniques, major trend changes are clearly highlighted on the chart.
Trend Signals
The trend signals are based on key characteristics that tend to appear when a new trend begins.
Trend Algo provides two signal types:
1. Trend Change Signals
These signals highlight broader market reversals. They’re designed to capture major trend shifts and guide traders toward the next big directional move.
⚠️ Not intended for scalping — these are for traders focused on longer trend cycles.
2. Trend Continuation Signals
These appear during retracements within an existing trend. When the retracement ends, the continuation signal is printed, offering a low-risk, high-reward entry back into the trend.
💡 Pro Tip: The earlier a continuation signal appears after a trend change, the higher the probability of success. If you spot a clear pullback followed by a continuation signal, that’s a setup worth paying attention to.
Trend Line
The included trend lines enhance visual understanding of market direction. They help traders quickly assess:
The direction of the broader trend
Trend strength
Potential retest areas
Stability or Dynamic Mode
The trend line offers two behavior modes:
Stability Mode: Smooths the line for a clear, steady trend direction.
Dynamic Mode: Adjusts based on volatility, filtering noise more effectively while still capturing trend shifts. Ideal for volatile markets.
Cloud Types
Horizon X
This cloud style is designed to keep you in stable, consistent trends. It forms a stepwise flat cloud that:
Acts as support in bullish trends
Acts as resistance in bearish trends
Gradient coloring:
Light blue: Strong trend
Dark blue: Normal trend strength
Infinite Sky
This is a more flexible, moving trend cloud that allows trends to unfold with more room.
Wider bands indicate stronger trend momentum
Available in dynamic and stable modes
Acts as support/resistance based on trend direction
Cloud breakouts can signal early trend changes
Highlighted Line: Appears during momentum surges, indicating strong internal moves within the trend. Useful for spotting breakout points or take-profit zones.
Trend Bands
These are traditional trend-following bands that adapt to new highs and lows, with a visual style similar to Ichimoku clouds.
Wider bands: Strong trend momentum
Thin bands near highs: Suggest weak resistance — potential for price to break higher
Thin bands near lows: Suggest weak support — potential for price to make new lows
BarColor
This feature highlights the strength of the current trend through candle coloring:
Dark blue candles: Normal trend strength
Light blue candles: Strong trend momentum
You can also use candle colors to count trend legs, a helpful method for identifying trend maturity.
Trends often form in 3 legs (downtrend) or 3–5 legs (uptrend)
If light blue candles appear immediately after a trend change, it's likely the first leg
After a pullback, expect another leg to follow
As more legs form, the probability of reversal, consolidation, or a range increases
