Trend Follower

Trend Follower

It analyses moving averages in a channel and their momentum according to the channel width.

On each bar it creates a channel by highest/lowest point of a MA. highest point is upper point and lowest point is lower point of the MA channel.

It gets highest and lowest point of last 300 bars, (say Price Channel )
If the width of MA channel is greater than certain rate of price channel then it decides there is trend.

After it decided there is trend, it calculates the rate between channel and MA. Bigger result means stronger trend.

According to rate of MA channel and the price channel , bar color becomes lighter/darker. so when you look at the bar color you can see the trend strength.

The darker the colour, the weeker the trend is.

Upon a request from user denmar (https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/help-converting-trend-follower-indicator-from-trading-view/) I converted this indicator written by LonesomeTheBlue.

    Hi Roberto,
    Thanks for this indicator which is very helpful.
    I tried to use this indicator into a very simple strategy based on g > 0 –> BUY and r SELL.
    The strategy runs however entry in call and put position don’t follow the indicator. Unfortunately I can’t put sceenshot to show
    Do you have any idea why?
    FYI I run with PRTV11

    Thank you

    I share only the end of the code + position entries:

    Trend = x * diff / MyChannel
    IF Trend > 0 THEN
    r = 0
    g = 255
    b = 0
    t = 255
    IF Trend Trend[1] THEN
    r = 139
    g = 0
    b = 0
    t = 255
    ENDIF
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour ouvrir une position acheteuse
    if not onmarket and g = 255 then
    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour fermer une position acheteuse
    if longonmarket and r = 255 then
    SELL AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour ouvrir une position en vente à découvert
    if not onmarket and r = 255 then
    SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour fermer une position en vente à découvert
    if shortonmarket and g = 255 then
    EXITSHORT AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    Don’t use colours as a signal,
    use TREND instead.
    If it’s > 0 it’s a Long signal, otherwise it’s a Short signal.

    Hi Roberto,
    I did previously but same result.

  5. Kanamax • 09/27/2021 #

    Can you try on your side to check if that works properly for you?

  6. robertogozzi • 09/27/2021 #

    Post the complete code you used.

    It seems I had some difficulties to copy paste the complete code correctly.
    The overall code is just your indicator + the following conditions at the end:
    Read trend > 0 instead of g = 255 and trend < 0 instead of r = 255

    // Conditions pour ouvrir une position acheteuse
    if not onmarket and g = 255 then
    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour fermer une position acheteuse
    if longonmarket and r = 255 then
    SELL AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour ouvrir une position en vente à découvert
    if not onmarket and r = 255 then
    SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    // Conditions pour fermer une position en vente à découvert
    if shortonmarket and g = 255 then
    EXITSHORT AT MARKET
    ENDIF

    I can’t understand when you want to enter/exit.
    Please start a new topic in ProOrder support and attach the ITF file of your strategy + screenshot (showing also the instrument and timeframe used).

  10. Kanamax • 09/27/2021 #

    Hi Roberto, sorry for my confusing previous posts (forget them). My request is very simple, I just want to enter/exit by using TREND signal from your indicator.
    I want entry long when trend > 0 then exit when trend 0 and exit long is not when trend < 0 (same at the opposite for short signal).
    It's why I wondered if you can test by your own and then share with me the last lines of your ProOrder code?
    Thanks for you help.
