Dragon Trend System v3 — 10-Factor Trend Scoring with Built-In Entry Signals
Stop relying on a single indicator to judge the trend. The Dragon Trend System scores 10 independent market dimensions and only generates entry signals when the combined score crosses your chosen threshold. Every signal includes DiNapoli Fibonacci TP targets and automatic SL placement.
Version 3 is a complete rebuild — one self-contained indicator replaces the old two-indicator setup. No more running separate Trend and Entry files. Everything runs from a single chart.
THE 10 SCORING COMPONENTS
Each component measures a different dimension of the market. No two components use the same data source — every point in the score is earned independently.
- EMA TREND (max 15 pts) Fast EMA vs Slow EMA position plus price location relative to the EMAs. Full points when price is above both EMAs in a bullish stack, partial when EMAs are aligned but price hasn't confirmed.
- ADX STRENGTH (max 10 pts) How strong the trend is — tiered from 2 pts (ADX 20) up to 10 pts (ADX 50+). Weak trends get low scores regardless of direction.
- MARKET STRUCTURE (max 12 pts) Break of structure — price closing beyond a recent swing high or swing low. This confirms the trend is making progress, not just oscillating.
- SWING PATTERN (max 10 pts) Higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend, lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend. The classic trend confirmation that most traders check manually — automated here.
- VOLUME CONFIRMATION (max 10 pts) Directional volume — a high-volume bullish candle in an uptrend scores full points. A high-volume bar against the trend scores nothing. Volume must support the move.
- CANDLE QUALITY (max 8 pts) Pin bars, engulfing patterns, and strong directional bodies — properly detected with ATR-normalized sizing. Not just body percentage like basic candle indicators.
- RSI HEALTH (max 10 pts) RSI in the healthy zone for the trend direction. Includes a penalty system: overbought in an uptrend or oversold in a downtrend subtracts points, preventing entries at exhaustion points.
- MACD ALIGNMENT (max 12 pts) MACD position relative to signal line and zero line, plus direction. Strong bull = above signal, above zero, and rising. Tiered scoring rewards stronger alignment.
- MOMENTUM (max 8 pts) ATR-normalized rate of change over 5 bars. Not a raw percentage — normalized by volatility so the score means the same thing on EURUSD as it does on Volatility 75.
- MULTI-TIMEFRAME (max 5 pts) Higher timeframe EMA alignment confirms the trend on a larger scale. When H1 and H4 agree (or M15 and H1), you get the extra confirmation points.
TOTAL: 100 points maximum. Every component is independent — no overlap, no double-counting.
SIGNAL LEVELS
70+ = GOOD — Trend is confirmed across most dimensions. Reliable entry opportunity. 85+ = EXCELLENT — Nearly all components align. Highest probability setup.
Each signal arrow shows its exact score (e.g. "82/100") so you can see precisely how strong the setup is. Gold labels = Excellent. Blue labels = Good.
Set your minimum threshold in settings: default is 70 (Good). Raise to 85 for fewer but higher-quality signals.
DINIPOLI FIBONACCI TP TARGETS
Every signal comes with three take-profit levels drawn directly on chart:
TP1 (green solid) — 1.0 Fibonacci extension. The conservative target for quick profit. TP2 (orange dashed) — 1.272 extension. The natural swing target. TP3 (purple dashdot) — 1.618 extension. The extended target for strong trends.
Strategy: Take 50% at TP1, move SL to breakeven, take 30% at TP2, let 20% run to TP3.
Stop-loss is placed automatically at the recent swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells) with an ATR buffer.
100% NON-REPAINTING
All signals are calculated on closed bars only. Bar 0 is never processed. Once a signal arrow appears with its score, it stays exactly where it is — forever. What you see in the Strategy Tester is what you get live.
HOW TO USE IT
STEP 1 — Attach Dragon Trend System v3 to your chart (recommended: H1 or H4).
STEP 2 — The dashboard panel shows all 10 components updating in real time. Watch the total score build as the trend develops.
STEP 3 — When the score crosses 70+ (or 85+ if you set Excellent mode), a signal arrow appears with the score label and three TP levels.
STEP 4 — Enter at the close of the signal bar. SL is already marked. Manage your exit using the 3-tier TP system.
STEP 5 — Use the dashboard to monitor whether the trend is strengthening or weakening. If individual components start dropping (especially Structure and Momentum), consider tightening your stop.
THE DASHBOARD
The on-chart panel shows in real time:
- Current trend direction and ADX value
- Total score out of 100 with color coding
- All 10 individual component scores (so you can see exactly what is contributing and what is holding the score back)
- Signal count (total buys and sells)
- Last signal details including entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 levels
This transparency is rare among trading indicators. Most just show "BUY" or "SELL" without explaining why. Dragon shows you the full reasoning behind every signal.
ONE INDICATOR, COMPLETE SYSTEM
Version 3 merges the old Dragon Trend Analyzer and Dragon Entry System into a single indicator file. No more running two indicators on two timeframes and relying on GlobalVariable communication. Everything runs from one chart, one file, one setup.
The multi-timeframe component reads the higher timeframe internally — you set your preferred HTF in settings (default: H4 when trading on H1).
SIGNAL COOLDOWN
Minimum 5 bars between signals in the same direction (configurable). This prevents signal clusters during strong momentum phases and keeps your chart clean.
INSTRUMENTS TESTED ON
- Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, and all major/minor/cross pairs

Default settings are optimized for Forex and Gold on H1. For synthetic indices, consider adjusting the ADX threshold and Volume multiplier.

WHY 10 FACTORS?
Most trend indicators use 1-2 methods — an EMA cross or an RSI reading. They give you a direction but no confidence level. Is this a strong trend or a weak one about to reverse?
The Dragon scores every trade-relevant dimension independently. A score of 92/100 means almost everything aligns — EMA stack, ADX strength, market structure, swing pattern, volume, candle quality, RSI, MACD, momentum, and higher timeframe. A score of 71/100 means several components disagree — proceed with caution and smaller position size.
This is the difference between "the trend is up" and "the trend is up with 92% confidence across 10 independent measurements."
