Why you need it
A fixed-speed average lags in a strong move and jumps around in noise. You enter late, or you enter on a small swing. Neither entry matches the market you are trading. Every late or noisy entry costs you a stop loss.
What you get
Fabii Adaptive Trend Baseline is a baseline indicator with five adaptive moving averages, so you stop fighting a fixed-speed line that does not fit the market.
- Five adaptive averages in one dropdown, so you pick the one that follows your market.
- KAMA, VIDYA and ADXVMA adjust their speed to market conditions, so the line smooths noise and follows real moves.
- A flip appears only when the close goes beyond the deviation band, not when price merely touches the line, so you filter out weak flips.
- Shaded zones show where price pushes beyond the band in the trend direction, so you see where momentum confirms the move.
- Buy and sell arrows sit outside the bands at a distance based on the Average True Range (ATR), so you spot each flip without clutter.
- Alerts by popup, sound or push notification, so you do not have to watch the chart.
How it works
The baseline is a moving average of your price source, chosen from five adaptive averages.
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), VIDYA, ALMA, Average Directional Index (ADX) Volatility Moving Average (ADXVMA), Ocean Natural Moving Average (NMA).
The indicator measures the smoothed average distance between price and baseline and draws two deviation bands around it. The trend turns up when a bar closes above the upper band, and down when a bar closes below the lower band. Signals use closed bars only.
How to use it
- Attach the indicator to any chart.
- Open Baseline type and try the averages on your own pair and timeframe.
- Read the line color: green is an up trend, red is a down trend.
- Enter in the trend direction by your own rules: after a flip arrow, or when price pushes into a shaded zone.
- Turn on the alerts you want.
