Dynamic Trend Ribbon [RayAlgo]

The Dynamic Trend Ribbon is a trend-following tool that helps traders see market direction, trend strength, and transition points in a single visual ribbon on the price chart.

Instead of reacting to every small price swing, the ribbon uses a series of moving averages to show the overall trend and its strength. This makes it easier to spot strong, weak, and neutral trends before major price moves occur.

What can you see on the chart?



Trend Direction & Persistence.

The ribbon tracks multiple moving averages to determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend, and how likely the trend is to continue.

• Uptrend: Ribbon shows the designated uptrend blue color when moving averages are aligned upward.
  
• Downtrend: Ribbon shows the downtrend pink color when moving averages point downward.
  

The trend detection is smoothed over multiple MAs, so it focuses on real market direction rather than short-term price noise.

Variable Ribbon Thickness

The ribbon changes thickness based on trend strength:

• Strong trends: Thicker ribbon, giving a clear visual cue.
  
• Weak trends: Thinner ribbon, signaling reduced momentum or trend uncertainty.
  

This makes it easy to see at a glance how strong the current trend is.

Neutral Zone (Optional)



The Neutral Zone highlights periods where the ribbon’s moving averages are tightly compressed, indicating sideways or indecisive markets. This feature can be toggled on or off independently, so you can choose whether to show neutral periods or keep the ribbon focused only on active trends.

Customizable Moving Average Types



Users can select the type of moving average used for the ribbon:

• EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
  
• SMA (Simple Moving Average)
  
• WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
  
• HMA (Hull Moving Average)
  

This lets traders adjust the ribbon to their style and timeframe. Faster-moving averages for quick reactions or smoother averages for longer-term trends.



Settings Designed for Flexibility

The Trend Alignment Ribbon includes options to:

• Enable or disable the Neutral Zone
  
• Choose MA type independently of other settings
  

These controls let traders fine-tune the ribbon for different market conditions and trading approaches.

How Traders Can Use It (Summary)

• Identify strong trends at a glance
  
• Avoid noise from minor pullbacks or reversals
  
• Spot early trend transitions and neutral markets
  
• Match trend strength to entry and exit decisions
