Core Features
1. Trend Step Regression (TSR) Line & Dots
- Displays a dynamic regression channel that tightly follows price action.
- Uses an acceleration factor with superior smoothing and reduced lag.
- The line changes color instantly: Blue = Uptrend Red = Downtrend
- Small colored dots (wingdings 159) are plotted directly on the TSR line for better visual clarity and to highlight extreme points.
2. High-Probability Reversal Signals
- Generates BUY and SELL signals only when:
- A confirmed trend reversal occurs in the TSR
- The previous trend lasted at least X bars (default 4) → avoids whipsaws
- ADX > threshold (default 25) → confirms strong trending conditions
- Price actually breaks the TSR level (confirms momentum shift)
- Signals appear as yellow "BUY" or "SELL" text labels directly on the chart with perfect positioning.
- Two hidden buffers (index 4 = Buy, index 5 = Sell) allow seamless integration with Expert Advisors (EAs).
3. Smart ADX Filter
- Uses the standard Average Directional Index (ADX) with customizable period (default 14).
- Signals are completely blocked in sideways/choppy markets when ADX ≤ threshold.
- Ensures you only trade during real trending phases.
4. Real-Time Volume Sentiment Dashboard (Lower Right Corner)
Calculates true buying vs selling pressure over the last N bars (default 14) using tick volume weighted by price action within each candle:
| Volume Signal | Condition | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Trend: Strong Buy | Buy ≥ 62% | Heavy buying pressure |
| Trend Max UP | Buy ≥ 65% | Possible exhaustion (overbought) |
| Trend change soon | Buy or Sell ≥ 70% | Extreme → high chance of reversal soon |
| Trend: Buy | Buy ≥ 55% | Moderate bullish sentiment |
| Trend: Sell / Strong Sell / Max Down | Symmetric for bearish side | |
| Neutral | 45–55% range | No clear bias |
- Displays live percentages: e.g., "Buy = 68.4% Up", "Sell = 31.6% Dn"
- Fully customizable refresh rate (from every tick to every hour)
5. Main Information Dashboard (Top-Left Corner)
Clean, professional panel showing:
- Indicator name
- Current symbol + timeframe
- Last generated signal (BUY/SELL/None) with color coding
- Current spread in pips (real-time)
- Current volume sentiment summary
6. Full Alert System
