Utilize the Trending Market Toolkit to easily detect multiple market reversals and broken trendlines, visualize reversal areas as triggers for potential trades, and calculate trades with risk/reward metrics. The image illustrates how this tool effectively identifies trading opportunities with highlighted risk and reward areas.

Understanding Detection Modes

Enhance your trading strategy by choosing between three detection modes: trend only, reversal only, or a combination of both. Prioritizing reversals ensures they override trends within the “both” mode, yielding more precise signals. The visual showcases how each detection mode operates within varying market conditions.

Utilizing Higher Timeframe Detection

Maximize analysis potential by identifying market structures using either the existing chart timeframe or higher timeframes. Illustrated in the SP500 futures on the 5m chart, settings range from immediate timeframes to extended ones like 30m and 1H, promoting adaptable trade identification.

Managing Risk and Targets with Precision

Optimize risk management by selecting different targets and stops per your risk/reward objectives. The provided chart example on the Gold Futures 2m chart highlights how your selections can dynamically alter the risk/reward ratio, guiding better trading decisions.

Customizing the Trending Market Toolkit

  • Show Options: Users can filter between detecting Trends, Reversals, or Both simultaneously.

Tailoring Market Structures

  • Swing Length: Configure the number of candles necessary to confirm swing highs/lows, with larger numbers detecting broader swings.
  • Custom Timeframe: Select either the current chart timeframe or define a custom timeframe for tailored analysis.
  • Reversal Area Threshold: Increase or decrease the reversal area size by adjusting this parameter.

Fine-Tuning Trade Parameters

  • Trade Trigger Length: Decide the candle count required to confirm internal swing points, useful for detecting finer swings but should not exceed the swing length setting.
  • Target Selection: Opt between a standard target or extended ones (0.27 or 0.618) for diversified exit strategies.
  • Risk to Reward Threshold: Establish a baseline risk-to-reward ratio requirement, with zero enabling all trade detections.
  • High Risk to Reward Mode: Toggle this mode to prioritize trades with substantial risk/reward prospects.
