Chop / Decline Regime Classifier

Chop / Decline Regime Classifier

Market regime classifier that identifies uptrend, decline, and chop conditions using bar-close-confirmed trend, momentum, and volatility context.

Chop / Decline Regime Classifier is a market-environment diagnostic indicator designed to help traders understand when conditions favor trend continuation, trend deterioration, or range-bound compression.

Instead of generating trade signals, the indicator classifies the current market regime using a bar-close-confirmed model that blends:

Trend alignment and directional slope

Momentum behavior relative to balance

Volatility expansion vs. compression

Directional persistence versus chop pressure

The output is a clear, stable regime state:

Uptrend — trend quality improving with supportive momentum

Decline — trend weakening or deteriorating

Chop — rising compression and reduced directional clarity

Key Features

Regime-based background shading for immediate context

Bar-close-confirmed logic (no lookahead, no intentional repainting)

Dashboard summary showing regime status and driver strength

Regime Map (Trend × Tradability) to visualize the broader environment

Optional candle coloring by regime (visual only)

Regime transition alerts and callouts for awareness, not execution

How to Use

Apply the indicator to any chart or timeframe. All calculations are performed on confirmed bar close.

Read the regime state as environment context rather than a trading signal.

Use the tool as a filter to help identify favorable vs. unfavorable conditions for participation.

Refer to the dashboard and Regime Map for additional insight into trend quality, momentum, and tradability.

Always confirm decisions with your own analysis, execution rules, and risk management.
