In which direction should I trade today? For “TREND followers”, we need to determine the
TREND.

This indicator determines the Trend based on the price High, Low and Close of every bar, for a given period and timeframe. Calculating
and plotting the Trend UP and Trend DOWN lines.

If the: 

• “Trend UP” line (Green) is above the “Trend DOWN” line (Red), then it is a BULLISH Trend (see “Screenshots” tab).
• “Trend DOWN” line (Red) is above the “Trend UP” line (Green), then it is a BEARISH Trend (see “Screenshots” tab).

As input, you select a timeframe to determine the Trend (variable TIMEFRAME_period). Eg. if you trade on a M15
Chart, you can select a higher timeframe like H1 (4x higher is appropriate), to determine the Trend. So basically, on a M15 Chart you will see
the H1 Trend without having to switch to another Chart window.

Works on any instrument being Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks etc.

Input Parameters

  performance impact on the hardware. Adjust it accordingly to view more or less historic data.

  timeframe higher or equal to the current one.
