Auto Trend [theUltimator5]
The Auto Trend indicator was designed to be a unique pattern detection indicator without the use of standard pivot point logic or high/low lines. It is a study in pattern detection by using iterative best-fit logic.
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trend channels by analyzing price action across configurable lookback periods. It finds optimal high and low trendlines that contain price movement, with a middle line marking the trend's center.
Key Features:
How It Works:
The indicator divides the lookback period into thirds, finds the highest and lowest closes in the first and last thirds, then draws trendlines connecting these points. It can automatically search through different lookback periods to find the one with the fewest price violations (closes outside the channel).
Settings:
Use Cases:
The indicator supports up to 5000 bars of historical data for comprehensive trend analysis.
