EMD Trend [InvestorUnknown]

EMD Trend is a dynamic trend-following indicator that utilizes Exponential Moving Deviation (EMD) to build adaptive channels around a selected moving average. Designed for traders who value responsive trend signals with built-in volatility sensitivity, this tool highlights directional bias, market regime shifts, and potential breakout opportunities.

How It Works
Instead of using standard deviation, EMD Trend employs the exponential moving average of the absolute deviation from a moving average—producing smoother, faster-reacting upper and lower bounds:

• Bullish (Risk-ON Long): Price crosses above the upper EMD band
  
• Bearish (Risk-ON Short): Price crosses below the lower EMD band
  
• Neutral: Price stays within the channel, indicating potential mean reversion or low momentum
  

Trend direction is defined by price interaction with these bands, and visual cues (color-coded bars and fills) help quickly identify market conditions.
