This is for a trend indicator. The Trend Expert is a calculation of SMA and MA for a special trend formula to estimate the momentum of the daily trend.

How it reads:

Red candle is a short-term uptrend.
Green candle is a short-term downtrend.
The height of the candle is momentum price bet stronger or weaker.

This trend indicator is a minimum-lag study with excellent direction detection, and performs better than other trend and momentum studies during periods of chop and consolidation.

The basis is the Parabolic Sar which is a superior trend indicator. However, it has the same short-comings of all trend studies. Trend Indicators are lagging studies, with poor performance in choppy and sideways markets.

This VIP version seeks to mitigate those problems with a combination of PSAR and Heiken-Ashi Trend and the VIP study, formerly known as the Volatility Indicator.

The Adaptive Trend Flow is composed of several technical components that create a dynamic trending system:

  • Dual EMA System: Utilizes fast and slow EMAs for primary trend detection
  • Volatility Integration: Computes and smooths volatility for adaptive band calculation
  • Dynamic Band Generation: Creates volatility-adjusted boundaries for trend validation
  • Gradient Visualization: Provides progressive visual feedback on trend strength

Chaiken Money Flow (CMF), RSI and MACD as a combined trading signal.

Cycle, trend and momentum are the 3 types of indicators recommended for standard chart setups. RSI & MACD are the standards of technical analysis. When they are combined with a Money Flow and Support and Resistance, they illustrate where a stock is within its trending cycle and provide viable trading zones.

Use with your favorite strategy: When all lines are green. Your trade is going well. As lines turn red, use your favorite exit indicator to look to end your trade.
