⚙️ How It Works
At its core, Trend Continuity uses a standard Moving Average (MA) calculation over a user-defined period (Length) using your selected method (SMA, EMA, SMMA, or LWMA). A secondary logic layer analyzes the consistency of MA movement over a smaller window (LengthTrend) to determine whether the trend is continuing with strength.
This dual-layered system enables the indicator to:
Confirm active uptrends or downtrends
Avoid generating signals during market indecision or sideways ranges
Adapt to a wide range of trading strategies — from scalping to swing trading
🎯 Signal Logic
Blue arrow (Value = 1): Confirmed uptrend — suitable for entering long positions.Red arrow (Value = 2): Confirmed downtrend — suitable for entering short positions.No arrow (Value = 0): Market in transition, no clear trend — avoid entry or exit existing trades.Signals are plotted directly on the chart using arrows, offering a clean and intuitive visual interface without clutter.
