Here's a trend strength indicator. Uses ATR, Standard Deviation, and MA's. Not my logic. Just my conversion for MT5.

This indicator calls 3 other subwindow indicators. All files go in your Indicators folder.

 
One of the most reliable ways I’ve found is using multi-timeframe analysis — starting with the daily chart to spot the overall trend, then zooming into the 4H and 15M for entries and confirmations. What’s your go-to method?

I have been stydying the markets for decades now,  the only single thing that works, is on the daily chart, and it's swing trading theory.  but how do you define a swing high/low?   a breach of which determines the next trend.

a swing high is a series of 3 or more days, where each day has a higher high and higher low than the one before. So a swing high, no matter how sharp and high, if it's made of 2 days, is not a actual swing theory high.   I can show you this on any daily chart of your choice.  

 

I could suggest to use a moving average of your choice and perform multiple time frame analysis, ideally daily or weekly, to determine the trend.
