Professional-Grade Metrics
Distance Tracking (DIST(P) / DIST(ATR)):
-
15-60 pips or 0.5-1.5x ATR = Healthy trend

60 pips or >2.0x ATR = Extended – potential pullback
Streak Analysis:
-
1-3 bars = Fresh trend – early entry opportunity
-
5-15 bars = Established trend – let it run
-
20+ bars = Mature trend – trail stops
Slope Momentum:
-
1.0 pips/bar = Accelerating momentum
-
0.5-1.0 pips/bar = Healthy momentum
-
<0.1 pips/bar = Momentum dying – trend weakening
Health Score (0-100%):
-
80%+ = Very strong trend – high confidence
-
60-80% = Healthy trend – tradable
-
40-60% = Moderate – use caution
-
<40% = Weak trend – avoid directional trades
Actionable Insights – What They Mean

|---|---|
| STRONG TREND ALIGNMENT – Consider trend-following entry | High conviction setup across multiple timeframes |
| STRONG DIRECTION – Wait for pullback to EMA | Trend clear but price extended – wait for better entry |
| PRICE TOO CLOSE TO EMA on multiple TFs – High reversal risk | Choppy market likely – avoid directional trades |
| PRICE EXTENDED on multiple TFs – Mean reversion possible | Overextended – potential reversal or pullback |
| HEALTHY TREND – Let winners run, trail stops | Strong momentum – manage existing positions |
| TRADABLE BIAS – Confirm with lower timeframe entry | Directional bias exists – use lower TF for precise entry |
| CONFLICTED TIMEFRAMES – Wait for better alignment | No clear consensus – stay on sidelines |
