Market Trend using First Derivative of MAs + Volatility

28 juil. 2021

Based on Smooth First Derivative Indicator by tbiktag
Volatility also from another public TV script, forgot which one though, sorry if this is yours and I haven't credited your work, let me know if it is and I'll reference it properly.

About this indicator:

Estimates whether market is trending up, down or sideways by adding the slope (first derivatives) of a fast & slow MA. Uptrend = Green, Downtrend = Red, Sideways = Yellow

Uses a minimum slope percentile to determine threshold for uptrend, downtrend & sideways. Definitely adjust this when changing timeframes, for BTCUSD at 1 hour timeframe a value of 25 is decent
Also has a measure of Volatility if you're into that

Explanation of inputs:
Bandwidth - for derivative function
Fastma - period for fast Moving Average
Slowma - period for slow Moving Average
Derivmalength - smooths out the signal, reducing single contrasting bars, but delays the signal. Use 1 if don't want to use
V length - ema of volatility if you want to smooth it
Min Slope Percentile - slope should exceed this percentile to be classified as uptrend (green) or downtrend (red) anything in this bottom percentile will be considered sideways
Mine Slope Lookback Period - # of bars back to calculate Slope Percentile

Notes de version

Fixed Min Slope Percentile error, now properly goes from 1 - 100

Added option to use Squeeze Momentum based derivative to determine trend (less laggy but maybe requires a lot more tweaking to properly identify ranging zones). By default it's still MA-based derivatives.
