Trend detection zero lag

Trend Detection Zero-Lag (v6)

Trend Detection Zero-Lag is a high-performance trend identification indicator designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who require fast trend recognition with minimal lag. It combines a zero-lag Hull Moving Average, slope analysis, swing structure logic, and adaptive volatility sensitivity to deliver early yet stable trend signals.

This indicator is optimized for real-time decision-making, particularly in fast markets where traditional moving averages react too slowly.

Core Features
🔹 Zero-Lag Trend Engine

Uses a Zero-Lag Hull Moving Average (HMA) to reduce lag by approximately 40–60% versus standard moving averages.

Provides earlier trend shifts while maintaining smoothness.

🔹 Multi-Factor Trend Detection

Trend direction is determined using a hybrid engine:

HMA slope (momentum direction)

Rising / falling confirmation

Swing structure detection (HH/HL vs LH/LL)

ATR-adjusted dynamic sensitivity

This approach allows fast flips when conditions change, without excessive noise.

Adaptive Volatility Sensitivity

Sensitivity dynamically adjusts based on ATR relative to price

In high volatility: faster reaction

In low volatility: smoother, more stable trend state

This ensures the indicator adapts across:

Trend days

Range days

Volatility expansion or contraction

Trend Duration Intelligence

The indicator tracks historical trend durations and maintains a rolling memory of recent bullish and bearish phases.

From this, it calculates:

Current trend duration

Average historical duration for the active trend direction

This helps traders gauge:

Whether a trend is early, mature, or extended

Probability of continuation vs exhaustion

Strength Scoring

A normalized Trend Strength Score (0–100) is calculated using:

Zero-lag slope magnitude

ATR normalization

This provides a quick read on:

Weak / choppy trends

Healthy trend continuation

Overextended momentum

Visual Design

Color-coded Zero-Lag HMA

Bullish trend → user-defined bullish color

Bearish trend → user-defined bearish color

Designed for dark mode / neon-style charts

Clean overlay with no clutter

Trend Detection Zero-Lag is built for traders who need:

Faster trend recognition

Adaptive behavior across market regimes

Structural confirmation beyond simple moving averages

Clear, actionable visual signals
