Why you need it
You take a trade on one timeframe, then find the higher timeframe pointed the other way. Checking means switching charts, and in a fast market you skip it. Entries against the higher trend are the ones that stall or reverse.
What you get
Fabii Half Trend Mtf Alignment shows the Half Trend direction of three timeframes in one strip, so you no longer switch charts to check the trend.
- Three stacked bands, your timeframe on top and two higher ones below, so you read the trend structure at a glance.
- Two colours, green for up and red for down, so you decide faster.
- Higher timeframes chosen automatically or by you, so it fits your method.
- Alerts for flips and full alignment, so you do not have to watch the chart.
- Buffers readable by an Expert Advisor, so you can use the trend data in your own systems.
How it works
Half Trend follows price direction using the highest high and lowest low over the amplitude, plus a moving average of highs and lows. It is calculated on your chart and on each higher timeframe from that timeframe's own candles. Higher bands use the last closed candle, so a band never changes after the fact. Forming bars are drawn thinner and never used for signals.
How to use it
- Attach the indicator to any chart.
- Read the strip: the top band is your chart, then the two higher timeframes.
- Look for entries, with your own rules, only when the three bands share one colour.
- Turn on the alerts you want in the Alerts group.
