Trend Follower | jh

This is a trend following system that combines 3 indicators which provide different functionalities, also a concept conceived by VP's No Nonsense FX / NNFX method.


1. Baseline

• The main baseline filter is an indicator called Modular Filter created by Alex Grover
  
• - https://www.tradingview.com/u/alexgrover/
  
• - Alex Grover - Modular Filter
  
• -------
  
• That's the moving average like baseline following price, filtering long and short trends and providing entry signals when the price crosses the baseline.
  
• Entry signal indicated with arrows.
  

2. Volume/Volatility, I will called it Trend Strength

• The next indicator is commonly known as ASH, Absolute Strength Histogram.
  
• This indicator was shared by VP as a two line cross trend confirmation indicator, however I discovered an interesting property when I modified the calculation of the histogram.
  
• - Alex Grover Absolute Strength
  
• -------
  
• My modification and other info here
  
• - Absolute Strength Histogram v2
  
• -------
  
• I simplified the display of the trend strength by plotting squares at the bottom of the chart.
  
• - Lighted Squares shows strength
  
• - Dimmed Squares shows weakness
  

3. Second Confirmation / Exits / Trailing Stop

• Finally the last indicator is my usage of QQE (Qualitative Quantitative Estimation), demonstrated in my QQE Trailing Line Indicator
  
• - QQE Trailing Line for Trailing Stop
  
• -------
  
• Three usages of this amazing indicator, serving as :
  
• - Second trend confirmation
  
• - Exit signal when price crosses the trailing line
  
• - Trailing stop when you scaled out the second trade
  
• This indicator is plotted with crosses.
  

Additional plots and information

• Bar Color
  
• - Green for longs, Red for shorts, White when the baseline direction conflicts with the QQE trailing line direction
  
• - When it's white, it's usually ranging and not trending, ASH will also keep you off ranging periods.
  
• -------
  
• ATR Filter
  
• - White circles along the baseline, they will show up if the price has moved more than one ATR from the baseline
  
• - The default allowance is 1 ATR.
  
• -------
  
• The previous and current ATR value
  
• - Label on the right side of the chart showing the previous and current value of ATR

Release Notes:

Created another version for Light mode as a few key plots are in white.

One change for this Dark mode version is to add a text label spacing input that allows you to adjust the spacing for text label from price.
