Best Trend Indicator

Its about half an hour i'm searching for some visually simple and (fairly) accurate indicator of trend. But i just cant find the one i used a few hard disk formats ago..

I have already found the "Trend Magic" indicator wich isnt too bad..but i used to have one I found here on ff.
It was simply a smoothed line, blue/red/yellow wich would repaint only during the "0" bar, settling then on a definite value once that closed.

What do you consider to be the best (custom) trend indicator you have used? And do you have any idea of indy's that can be described like the one i described?

Hi,
Check out this one: http://mt4indicator.com/index.php?mo...&do=View&id=22

Or by description you gave - maybe it's just colored moving average? Here is it also: http://mt4indicator.com/index.php?mo...s&do=View&id=7

It may have been a colored MA, but it had another name..wich i dont recall, i certailny looked similar to the second one you posted.
Thx for your help.

I need 'magic trend' indicator, can someone help me with .pls

Here are two:

Google for trix indicator (settings13/8) and slope direction line (settings 55/3), this is what you want! Use it on 1 hour chart.

Thanks for sharing trend indicators.
It's very useful.

Is it the coral indicator which is attached.

Are u sure, you are allowed to post decompiled stuff?

Is it really that difficult to determine the trend? I once ran a trading room for a popular forex company and was asked how to find the trend. Others would contribute with esoteric indicators for trend determination. One clever guy responded by saying "I just ask my child - Is this going up or down?". The kid gets it right every time. I am sure you want to integrate trend determination with some script or something, but the key is how does the trend fit in with your overall strategy. Meaning, what levels of trend determination do you need and how sensitive should it be. Just keep in mind that sometimes simple things work better.

how about Xma?

or xpma

sorry link to other forex forum

okay now I am sure is xpma

It doesnt seem to work....

It has to work, switch time frames, reload charts, it has to stay on chart for a bit to load all info. I tried it on most popular brokers, and it is working.

I have been manually use this TrendShadow Indicator, called TrendForce 2.0
good results.

I need coding help for it to become an EA, enter trade when
there's "2MA shift crossover with alert". Anybody can help.
I really would APPRECIATE your contribution. Thanks.

Here at FF it's allowed. I would guess you're originally from TSD where such practices are prohibited?

You have to work quite a bit to understand what the indicators are about and how to implement them. However, they display some very clear trends.

The fractal signal versus balance line is very interesting. Do you have that MT4 ? Thanks

No, I don't have them. These are secret indicators developed by nuclear scientists from the former USSR, who, after the fall of the Soviet Union were left unemployed. They were then hired by a secretive hedge fund manager who had spent years on researching the works of Fibonacci and Gann. He hired those scientists and brought them to the US. Five years later and ten million dollars lighter, the scientists were let go - the hedge fund manager had finally completed his research. Actually all of this is bullshit, I just wrote this to waste your time like you're wasting mine. All of the indicators that were mentioned in the article can be downloaded from the bottom of each article. But I guess you didn't read the text, you just saw the attractive squiggly lines and dollars started flashing in front of your eyes like they do for most people around here. You're being an idiot. If you had bothered to read through the article, you would've noticed the indicator download links in the very bottom (they're in mq4 so you can even edit them). But I guess actually asking someone to read through text is too much these days. Soundbites, youtube, redtube and nano-second attention span are the key words these days I guess. Good luck with that. You're going to need it, because if you can't be bothered to even read through the text, I doubt you have it in you to spend hours on testing and configuring those indicators to work for you.
