Optimizing Trend Strength: Trading in Trend Direction and Strength

Optimizing Trend Strength: Trading in Trend Direction and Strength

This article aims to address both traders who have a difficulty in choosing the correct trade and trend direction and the traders who are looking to forge discipline and avoid or reduce losses by only taking trades in the trend direction by not trading against the trend or in short-term swings. It will also be excellent for the traders who have execution paralysis or overanalyze when they find a trade entry and hence end up losing the whole trade by not pushing the buttons and taking it because they could not identify the ideal trend direction and bias. I believe another beneficiary of this article is recently new or developing traders who are still grappling with the idea and difficulty in choosing the ideal trend direction, whether long-term, intraday, or overall trend strength and direction, to determine their trading decisions.

This is a specialized trend-following EA that makes both short and long-term analyses, trading decisions, and executions based on the overall trend and its strength. This article will explore in detail an EA that is specifically designed for traders who are patient, disciplined, and focused enough to only execute trades and hold their positions only when trading with strength and in the trend direction without changing their bias frequently, especially against the trend, until take-profit targets are hit.

Price Action Analysis Toolkit (Part 55): Designing a CPI Mini-Candle Overlay for Intra-bar Pressure

Price Action Analysis Toolkit (Part 55): Designing a CPI Mini-Candle Overlay for Intra-bar Pressure

Most traders learn to interpret candlesticks using a simple color code: green suggests buying, and red suggests selling. In practice, however, price rarely behaves in such a binary manner. Each candle represents a continuous negotiation between buyers and sellers, and the closing price reflects only where that struggle ended, not how strongly either side dominated during the bar. As a result, two candles may appear similar in color and size while conveying very different information: one may close decisively near the high, signaling sustained buying pressure, while another may finish weakly despite being green.
