Trend Score Stop Loss

Trend Score Indicator Guide

This indicator is designed for futures trading during RTH (Regular Trading Hours, 9:30–16:00 NY time). It’s an all-in-one bull/bear trend system with built-in stop loss logic — simple, objective, and always active.

🔹 How Trend Score Works
• The trend score is calculated only during RTH and resets at the start of each new session.
• Each candle contributes to the score as follows:
• ✅ Breaks previous high → +1
• ❌ Breaks previous low → –1
• ⚖️ Breaks both high and low → 0 (–1 + 1 cancel out)
• 💤 Breaks neither high nor low → 0

⸻

🔹 Determining the First Trend
• The first valid session trend is established when the cumulative score hits +3 or –3.
• +3 → Start of a Bull Trend
• –3 → Start of a Bear Trend

⚠️ Note: The indicator requires at least 3 candles to generate the first +3/–3 sequence.
👉 This means the first 3 minutes of the open (9:30–9:33) are ignored — a natural filter that avoids the most volatile/noisy part of the day.

🔹 Stop Loss vs. Trend Change

These are two separate events:
• Stop Loss
• A stop level is drawn at the candle that initiated the +3 or –3 trigger.
• This line is only a visual suggestion — it does not force an exit.
• Real-world stop placement depends on your own discretion, factoring in position size, volatility, and strategy.
• Hitting this level does not automatically mean the trend is over.
• Trend Change
• The trend only reverses when the opposite direction accumulates 3 points.
• Example: In a Bull trend, the system flips to Bear only when a –3 sequence occurs (and vice versa).
• A trend change can happen before or without the stop loss ever being hit.

🔹 Key Features
• ✅ Active only during RTH (9:30–16:00 NY) — no overnight distortions.
• 🔄 Auto-reset daily at the start of each session.
• 🟢🔴 Always in a trend — continuously switches between Bull and Bear.
• 🛡️ Stop loss marked visually — but final risk management is trader’s choice.
• ⏳ Avoids first 3 minutes of open — naturally filters volatility & false signals.

✨ In short:
The Trend Score Indicator transforms simple high/low breaks into a rule-based trend framework. You’ll always know if the market is in a bull or bear phase, where the suggested stop loss lies, and when a true trend reversal occurs — while still leaving risk management decisions in your hands.
