Apex Trend & Liquidity Master v2.1

CONCEPT & OVERVIEW The Apex Trend & Liquidity Master v2.1 is a comprehensive trading suite designed to unify Trend Following, Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and Momentum detection into a single, clutter-free interface.

While the original version provided a foundational trend cloud and pivot points, this v2.1 Edition represents a complete architectural overhaul. It moves beyond simple signal generation by incorporating institutional-grade filters (ADX & Volume), advanced oscillator logic (WaveTrend), and dynamic risk management tools (Chandelier Exits).

KEY IMPROVEMENTS VS. ORIGINAL

From Static to Dynamic Momentum: Replaced the rigid RSI filter with a Multi-Engine Oscillator (WaveTrend, MFI, or RSI), allowing for smoother cycle detection.

From "Pivots" to "Smart Structure": The liquidity engine now detects Swing Failure Patterns (SFP)—identifying when price "pokes" a level to trap traders before reversing—and automatically cleans up mitigated zones.

Choppy Market Protection: Added an ADX (Average Directional Index) integration to strictly filter out signals during flat/sideways markets.

Risk Management Layer: Introduced a Smart Trailing Stop (ATR-based Chandelier Exit) to help traders manage active positions objectively.

Visual Overhaul: Features a modern gradient trend cloud and a fully adaptive "Heads-Up Display" (HUD) that provides real-time market stats.

MAIN FEATURES

1. The Gradient Trend Cloud Uses a volatility-adjusted Moving Average (HMA/EMA/SMA) to define the baseline bias. The cloud expands and contracts based on market volatility (ATR).

Green Gradient: Bullish Bias (Look for Longs).

Red Gradient: Bearish Bias (Look for Shorts).

2. Smart Liquidity & SFPs Automatically plots Supply (Resistance) and Demand (Support) zones.

Mitigation Logic: Zones are automatically removed when price validates and breaks through them, keeping the chart clean.

SFP Detection: Detects "Fake-outs" where price sweeps a high/low but closes back within the range—a high-probability reversal signal.

3. The Momentum Engine You can now select the engine that drives your signals:

WaveTrend (Default): An institutional oscillator that is smoother than RSI and excellent for spotting cycles.

MFI: Volume-weighted RSI that ignores price moves unsupported by volume.

RSI: Classic price velocity.

Includes hidden divergence detection for all three engines.

4. Signal Filters

Volume Filter: Ensures signals are backed by above-average volume.

ADX Filter: Prevents signals when the trend strength is weak (ADX < 20).

HOW TO USE

For a Long Setup:

Trend: The Cloud must be Green.

Signal: Wait for a BUY label (confirmed by Volume + ADX).

Confluence: Ideally, price is bouncing off a Green Demand Zone or forming a Bullish Divergence.

Exit: Trail your stop loss along the Smart Trailing Stop line until price closes below it.

For a Short Setup:

Trend: The Cloud must be Red.

Signal: Wait for a SELL label (confirmed by Volume + ADX).

Confluence: Ideally, price is rejecting a Red Supply Zone or forming a Bearish Divergence.

Exit: Trail your stop loss along the Smart Trailing Stop line until price closes above it.
