Trend Signals
Detect low-lag direction shifts, then manage them with causal optimization and three take-profit tiers.
Indicator overview
Use this indicator to decide whether the market currently favors trend-following longs, trend-following shorts, or patience. A blue trend band points to strength, an orange band points to weakness, Bullish Shift / Bearish Shift labels flag direction, and Strong Bullish / Strong Bearish labels show that more conditions support the move.
V2 uses a causal recursive low-pass with phase compensation and derives signals from price displacement and trend efficiency, so volume is not required. Manual tuning defaults to 20. Auto Optimizer selects a fast, moderate, or slow response by PNL or win rate using only up to 500 already-closed bars. V1 preserves the historical T3, Reactor, and seven-state combination so saved charts are not silently recalculated. Purple checks, red checks, and MP mark average, above-average, and maximum-profit prompts. Solid labels are confirmed after the close; outlined labels preview the open candle.
How to read the chart
- Internal trend line / volatility bands
- V1 only; V2 follows the public signal view and does not plot its internal filter
- Bullish Shift / Bearish Shift label
- Standard trend prompt after the low-lag direction remains confirmed
- Strong Bullish / Strong Bearish label
- V2 strength combines trend efficiency, line separation, displacement, and ADX; it is not a guarantee
- Reversal label
- Standalone reversal mode uses green for bullish and red for bearish; combined mode uses blue for both
- Purple check / red check / MP
- Average, above-average, and maximum-profit prompts after a confirmed trend signal
- Outlined label
- Open-bar preview that may change before the candle closes
Signal confirmation
Trend confirmation
The low-lag direction agrees for two consecutive bars; V2 adds no hidden cooldown
Reversal prompt
Price re-enters an adaptive volatility band while the low-lag line starts turning the same way
Take-profit prompt
Confirmed progressively from favorable displacement, price extension, and giveback after a trend entry

How to use it
- 01
Confirm the higher-timeframe direction first, then wait for a matching lower-timeframe label
- 02
Prefer bullish shifts above a green Reactor and bearish shifts below a red Reactor
- 03
Pair reversal labels with support/resistance, divergence, or volume exhaustion
- 04
Place risk beyond the signal structure or trailing stop; a label is not a stop-loss plan
Very tight ranges, news shocks, and illiquid symbols where repeated crossings are common.
Parameter guide
V2 is the low-lag price engine; V1 preserves the historical combined model
Show trend, reversal, or both; beginners should start with trend only
V2 manual response; lower reacts faster and usually produces more direction changes
Uses only closed historical bars to select a response without rewriting earlier candles
Fast favors shorter responses, Slow favors longer responses, and Moderate spans both
Rank candidate responses by rolling directional PNL or win rate
V1 only; V2 spacing follows the engine and optimized response
V1 only; V2 keeps Strong classification internal
V1 only; V2 follows the public signal view and does not expose its internal line
V1 only; this does not change V2 reversal calculations
Controls shift, strong, and reversal labels together without changing signal calculations
Shows purple/red checks and MP without changing trend entries
