TSI Trend Analyzer

In which direction should I trade today? For “TREND followers”, we need to determine the TREND.

This indicator determines the Trend based on the price High, Low and Close of every bar, for a given period and timeframe. Calculating and plotting the Trend UP and Trend DOWN lines.

If the: 

• “Trend UP” line (Green) is above the “Trend DOWN” line (Red), then it is a BULLISH Trend (see "Screenshots" tab).
• “Trend DOWN” line (Red) is above the “Trend UP” line (Green), then it is a BEARISH Trend (see "Screenshots" tab).

As input, you select a timeframe to determine the Trend (variable TIMEFRAME_period). Eg. if you trade on a M15 Chart, you can select a higher timeframe like H1 (4x higher is appropriate), to determine the Trend. So basically, on a M15 Chart you will see the H1 Trend without having to switch to another Chart window.

Input Parameters

•  Number of Bars to calculate: predefined value to reduce performance impact on the hardware. Adjust it accordingly to view more or less historic data.
• TIMEFRAME_period : Timeframe to determine the trend. You need to select a timeframe higher or equal to the current one.

Output Buffers 

• Buffer 0  : Trend UP value 
• Buffer 1  : Trend DOWN value

Note:
