Look for the STIFFNESS indicator on tradingview(free)...HOLY SHIT

Apply this indicator to any of your trend following systems and watch it work

Only works on longs...

When Stiffness above threshold the trend is considered healthy..just apply something like the MACD and watch it work

This is how I use trend entry. Please note that if on H4 the candle closed green after the red one, then on M15 we enter only to buy on each pullback on the first green candle after the red one. An example on a currency pair with a risk for the previous candle of 15-20 points - the profit potential is 50-60 points, 1 to 2-3 and higher.

And then the same entry on M15 can be expanded into M5 and even M1 for an entry with an even more minimal stop.
Let me remind you that this scheme generally works flawlessly on indexes, where the risk is profit from 1 to 5 to 1 to 10 and higher

Check out this synergy...

Use AI Channel (Clustering) by LuxAlgo w/ Stiffness

Take the the first bounce off the lower band channel once stiffness has crossed threshold. Enter on the first shadowless bullish HA candle

What about observed BOS's while STIFFNESS is climbing, but HA candles must show strength, no indecision..

500EMA sloped UP, but Stiffness at 0..very high upwards breakout chance..

Always seem to be an explosive move at the end...

Volume analysis with stiffness?

Stiffness above threshold, price comign DOWN to support level and price produces a churn bar on a BEARISH candle

(churn bars appear when theres high relative volume but very low movement from price)

Use this and use bullish reversal but only take the first signal after stiffness

use low of candle that prints signal, or thee lower band which ever is smaller risk, then take profit at higher band going for wide RR
