Trend Arrows

Multi-timeframe trend detection system that identifies high-probability trend continuation signals using advanced oscillator confluence

Overview

The Trend Arrows feature is a sophisticated trend continuation system that combines multiple timeframe analysis with oscillator confluence to identify high-probability trend signals. Unlike reversal or scalping arrows, these arrows focus on catching strong trend movements by analyzing market conditions across different timeframes.

Key Features

Visual Signal System

  • Buy Arrows: Red arrows below price bars for bullish trend continuation
  • Sell Arrows: Red arrows above price bars for bearish trend continuation
  • Entry Labels: Optional labels showing signal type
  • TP/SL Indicators: Visual profit target and stop loss levels
  • Closure Signals: Smart exit points based on trend exhaustion

Multi-Timeframe Analysis

  • Timeframe Confluence: Analyzes M5, M15, M30, and H1 simultaneously
  • Oscillator Alignment: RSI and Stochastic confirmation across timeframes
  • Trend Strength Validation: Ensures trend is strong on multiple timeframes
  • Price Action Confirmation: Validates with candlestick patterns

Trading Concept

Signal Generation Logic

The Trend Arrows use a sophisticated approach:

  1. Oscillator Zones: Monitors Stochastic levels for trend potential
  2. Multi-TF Confirmation: Requires alignment across timeframes
  3. RSI Validation: Confirms momentum direction
  4. Price Position: Validates position relative to Road levels
  5. Frequency Control: Prevents signal clustering

Entry Conditions

  • Buy Signals: Generated when price is between Road safe line and sell line
  • Sell Signals: Appear when price is between Road buy line and safe line
  • Oscillator Requirements: Specific Stochastic and RSI thresholds
  • Trend Alignment: All timeframes must confirm direction
