Multi-indicator confluence scoring system for trend analysis
Trend Confluence combines four popular technical indicators (EMA, RSI, MACD, and ADX) into a single numerical score from 0 to 100, helping traders identify market direction and trend strength at a glance.
Overview
This indicator evaluates market conditions by analyzing the agreement between four technical components. When indicators align in the same direction, the confluence score strengthens, providing clearer insight into current trend conditions.
The system displays a real-time score with color-coded visual feedback, making it easy to assess market bias without switching between multiple indicator windows.
How It Works
Score Calculation
Each of the four technical components contributes 25 points to the final score based on its current reading:
- EMA Crossover: Fast and slow exponential moving averages determine primary trend direction
- RSI Momentum: Relative Strength Index measures momentum strength above or below configurable thresholds
- MACD Histogram: Confirms trend direction through histogram polarity
- ADX Directional Movement: Evaluates trend strength when ADX exceeds minimum threshold, then checks directional indicators
Complete bullish alignment produces a score of 100, while complete bearish alignment results in 0. Mixed signals generate intermediate values reflecting market uncertainty.
Visual Panel
An on-chart panel displays:
- Current confluence score (0-100%)
- Market direction: BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL

- Number of indicators in agreement (X/4)
- Color-coded feedback: green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral

Score Interpretation
Strong Signals (0-25 or 75-100) Four indicators show agreement, suggesting clear directional bias
Moderate Signals (25-37.5 or 62.5-75) Three indicators align with one neutral or conflicting
Weak Bias (37.5-50 or 50-62.5) Two indicators show directional agreement
Neutral (50) Indicators show equal pressure or remain neutral
Usage Recommendations
Parameter Optimization Test different parameter combinations on historical data before live use. Market characteristics vary across instruments and timeframes.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis Consider using the indicator on several timeframes for confirmation. Higher timeframe alignment often provides more reliable context.
Combine With Price Action Use confluence scores alongside support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and candlestick analysis for comprehensive market evaluation.
Risk Management Always employ proper risk management regardless of signal strength. No indicator guarantees profitable outcomes.
