Welcome to what I believe to be the best indicator on TradingView. Trend101 v5
"Not all trends are made equal"
You should be only trading the trends that matter most... The basis of this script is using volume to rank price trends and give more prominence to the trends that are backed by volume, enabling you to only focus on riding the trends that matter.
If we see a trend with high volume, this will show up in the indicator with larger green or red columns / bars & the trends with low volume will cause little movement in the indicator.
Some indicators are great at showing price trends, some are great at showing volume... Trend101 v5 is great at showing both of these.
This indicator can be used in a variety of ways:
1) The most simplistic is to trade crossovers from Bull > Bear trends and vice versa. This alone can be profitable with a "scalping" mindset where you ride the trend until it shows signs of weakness.
2) The other way I use this indicator is to act as a confirmation tool... for example if price is approach a level of support, you can wait until the price shows signs of rejection and then your confirmation for entry is that Trend101 v5 will change to green. (& the opposite for levels of resistance).
Finally you are also able to use the Timeframe input to select different timeframes, this is useful to use two Trend101 indicators together to filter trade entries. An example would be using one Trend101 indicator set on the 15min timeframe and one set on the Daily timeframe and when both of these align in the same trend direction you are able to enter your trade.
I will produce a video "How To..." guide for this indicator shortly to explain other details.
Let me know in the comments below how you are using the indicator and all feedback is welcome.
