Author Message:
Three Step Future-Trend by BigBeluga is a forward-looking trend analysis tool designed to project potential future price direction based on historical periods. This indicator aggregates data from three consecutive periods, using price averages and delta volume analysis to forecast trend movement and visualize it on the chart with a projected trend line and volume metrics.

is there a way to keep the last 2 or 3 predicted trends to see the quality of the predictions? To see if they were "right" in their assumptions? maybe produce a "fudge" factor to compensate? Maybe a high/low range plot would be beneficial? Based off the resulting deviation of past performances?

enjoy2retire` · Apr 29, 2025

has anyone backtest the prediction? tks

Morris · Apr 29, 2025

One easy way is to take a screenshot to preserve the projection every day.

@antwerks @enjoy2retire`

yeah but that doesn't help correct the future forecast

Might be interesting to keep the previous days line intact to verify

merryDay · Apr 29, 2025

@Morris provided a workaround that will work.

No, neither a fudge factor nor a high/low range plot or backtesting will provide any useful analysis.

This indicator is predicated on trends and Newton's First Law.
The Trend will continue unless compelled to change its state by an external catalyst.
If there is no disrupter, this indicator will be accurate.

If there is a disrupter (i.e.: economic event, earnings, war, etc.), the trend will be disrupted.
How big the disruption will depend on how market sentiment views the disruption.

Please excuse my ignorance and also, I am not an options trader so I am not very familiar with the Greeks. Can someone please enlighten me as to what and how to interpret the "delta volume analysis" as they appear on the chart?

- Respectfully

i had an idea... but i couldn't get it to work.
maybe someone who really understands inertiaall() might be able to make this work...
maybe enertia() needs to be used with date and time parameters?

i thought of making a study, that would calc things to the end of today, or to the end of yesterday.
..then load it twice,
..then in one, pick even day, in the other one, pick odd day.
..odd/even would correspond to today and yesterday.
it would find the last bar of the last (odd/even) day and do calculations up to that bar. and do similar in the other study.
i can find the last bars of the last 2 days.
a green bubble is on the desired day last bar. a purple bubble is on the other days bar.

but i couldn't modify lines like this, to work as i wanted,
def hhL1 = inertiaAll(highestAll(inertiaAll(hh, 2)), period);
there are several versions of code lines that i tried

the clouds and lines are not correct when stopped at yesterday. col1 doesn't work right (closest to the last bar)

i added hi lo lines, and bubbles on the predict line.

@sam082000, or anyone else...

hi -

I was wondering how to write the script for the prediction line to show up as a label. The extra 26 space is driving me a little batty, but I understand the reason/calculations behind it.

I kept playing around with it and it came up with "FutureNaN"

This is what I added, and it basically doubled up the bubbles and then gave me the FutureNaN text.

AddLabel(yes, "Future"+ AsDollars(UpC[1]));

I found the bubble script, and I tried and failed

AddChartBubble(bubCond[1], futureTrend[1], AsDollars(futureTrend[1]) + "\n" + Round(vol_delta[1]/1000, 2) + "K",
if col[1] > 0 then GlobalColor("up") else GlobalColor("dn"), if col[1] > 0 then no else yes);

thanks,
jrj4774

For me its not so much about the end as it is the path, especially in helping me time entries and exits. Not saying its always correct and it does repaint as it "predicts" but looking at AAPL for instance it has been very good at letting me know ranges. So what exactly are you wanting to get out of it, like input number of days and it gives you the predicted value/price point?

@antwerks Nothing that complicated, but that would be nice idea. I just want the bubble price range to be as a label so I can see it without having to zoom out to see it.

Sometimes, that bubble is so far off the bottom right side of the chart ( I know I should not trade it, but I'm curious into how far it will bleed).

Yes I am using it as price range.

Curious question, I see you have these as indictor shortcuts, how do I get these as pinned too?

Thanks,

That “tack” on the left circled is the Study Set button. It controls whether your study header (all those script names across the top of the chart) is visible and whether it stays pinned.

Part 1 – Show the script header with the tack

Go to your chart.
Click the little tack / pin icon at the top right of the chart.
When it is blue, the study header stays visible.
When it is gray, it auto-hides.

So:

Gray tack → header hides
Blue tack → header stays shown
That’s what makes all your scripts (GHLA, CONTANGO, Trend Engine, etc.) appear in that bar.

Part 2 – Saving scripts into that header (Study Set)

That header is your Study Set.
Think of it as a “workspace” of all active indicators on that chart.

To save everything currently loaded:

Click the Studies (beaker icon) in the upper right.
Click Save Study Set…
Give it a name like: (as examples, you put your own "names")
- AntWerks_TrendEngine
- AntWerks_ExitSystem
- Daily_Swing_Core

Now every script you have loaded becomes part of that set.

Later, to load it:

Studies (beaker)
Load Study Set…
Pick your saved set

Instantly restores:

All your scripts
All colors
All settings
All dashboard labels
All bubbles

Part 3 – Saving individual scripts so they appear in Studies

For any custom script:

Studies → Edit Studies
Go to the Studies tab
Scroll to My Studies
Right-click → Create… (or edit existing)
Paste your code
Give it a name
Click OK

Now that script can be added to any chart and will show in your header when active.

How I like to organize my header Study Sets

Think of it like a car:
- Core Trend Engine = engine
- Momentum = transmission
- Volume = fuel system
- Take-profit logic = brakes
- Scanners = navigation system
Without the engine, the rest has no context.

Each one is a complete trading “brain”.
Your system hierarchy now looks like this: (using some personal scripts as examples, you can load your own that meets these definitions of purpose)

Core Trend Engine
→ Determines directional permission
Probability + Momentum Model
→ Determines statistical continuation
RSR / RSI Systems
→ Selects the best stocks
Take Profit Engine (Optimized)
→ Manages exits professionally
Volume Radar
→ Confirms institutional sponsorship

Each module has one job.
The Core Trend Engine is the boss.
When you load a set, your header becomes your trading dashboard.
That tack makes it visible, and those names become your control panel.
