TIL Trend Navigator
Trading Indicator Lab’s Trend Navigator for TradingView is an indicator that can help you reveal the underlying trends in any chart on any timeframe.
Determining Trends
It only takes a minute or two to analyze the indicator with its simple yet insightful methods of representing bullish, bearish and ranging price action across the chart. It forms a single line that runs in 3 directions:
- Upward direction – represents a significant bullish price action
- Horizontal direction – represents ranging price action or consolidation
- Downward direction – represents a significant bearish price action
The indicator borrows the concept of Renko charts where upward and downward price action are shown to move at a single identical angle. This makes the indicator more intuitive and easier to read.
Support and Resistance
That’s not all. The Trend Navigator can also serve as a support or resistance line at any given point in the bar history. This is distinguished with the dual colors of the lines which alternates at each segment:
- Support segment (green) – the segment acts as support where price moves above the line
- Resistance segment (orange) – the segment acts as resistance where price moves below the line
Breakouts occur when the bar crosses above or below the Trend Navigator, at which point, its line changes color to signal the change of its role as a support or resistance level.
