⚡ ADXVMA Aurora Trend Filter combines ADX trend strength with an adaptive EMA blend to form a reliable trading baseline. Unlike ordinary indicators with fixed smoothing, Aurora adjusts in real time—closer to price in strong trends, smoother in ranges—and displays a clean Up / Down / Neutral bias with optional crossover arrows. The result is more responsiveness than static MAs and more stability than ADX alone.
🆚 Why it’s stronger than ordinary indicators
- Versus fixed MAs: the adaptive coefficient reduces lag in trends and filters chop in ranges.
- Versus raw ADX: turns strength into a tradeable baseline (with colors & cross signals), not just a number.
- Versus generic filters: an ADX-weighted fast/slow EMA delivers a balanced mix of sensitivity and stability.
🧠 The engine: ADX-weighted EMA blend
ADX (0…100) measures trend strength. Aurora blends a fast and a slow EMA, using ADX as the weight:
- High ADX → bias toward fast (lower lag).
- Low ADX → bias toward slow (better noise filtering).
The line is color-coded by slope (and can be gated Neutral when ADX is weak), yielding a clean Blue / Red / Yellow read.
🔭 What it does
- Adaptive baseline: blends fast & slow EMA using ADX as the weight.
- Three-state colors: Blue (Up), Red (Down), Yellow (Neutral).
- Color Bars: candle coloring for instant context.
- Crossover arrows: modes By Trend (Classic) or All Crosses (Simple).
- Dashboard: live periods, ADX and trend state.
- Bot-ready: hidden series TrendState (−1/0/+1) and ADX for cBots/scanners.
🎯 How to trade it
- Bias: Above line + blue → focus longs; below line + red → focus shorts; yellow → stand aside.
- Entry: take the arrow on price crossing the baseline (choose By Trend or All Crosses).
- Exit: stop at Aurora line ± buffer; take profit via RR≥2 or on opposite cross/color flip.
🚀 Presets (quick start)
- Scalp: VMA=12 · ADX=14 · ADX-Thr=28 · NeutralSlope=0.04 · Link=VMA→2×VMA
- Intraday: VMA=20 · ADX=14 · ADX-Thr=25 · NeutralSlope=0.06 · Link=VMA→2×VMA
- Swing: VMA=34 · ADX=14 · ADX-Thr=23 · NeutralSlope=0.10 · Link=VMA→2×VMA
- Position: VMA=55 · ADX=14 · ADX-Thr=20 · NeutralSlope=0.15 · Link=VMA→2×VMA
🔧 Key parameters
- DM / ADX / VMA Periods (separate, Wilder-style).
- Use genuine DM (Wilder): strict +DM/−DM (recommended On).
- Adapt Link: Link to VMA (Fast=VMA, Slow≈2×VMA) or Manual Fast/Slow.
- Neutral Slope (pips): slope sensitivity per bar.
- Flat if ADX < Threshold: force Neutral during weak trend (On/Off).
- Arrows / Color Bars / Dashboard: on/off; Arrow Mode: By Trend / All Crosses.
👥 Who it’s for
Scalpers, intraday and swing traders wanting a clear trend filter + simple triggers, and algo traders needing stable, machine-readable series.
🧭 Timeframe & Market Tips
- Lower TFs (M1–M5): more noise → start with VMA 10–14, NeutralSlope 0.04–0.08, ADX Thr 25–30.
- Intraday (M15–H1): VMA 18–24, NeutralSlope 0.06–0.12, ADX Thr 22–28.
- Higher TFs (H4–D1): VMA 30–60, NeutralSlope 0.10–0.25, ADX Thr 20–25.
- Majors vs. Volatile (XAU, Crypto): increase VMA / NeutralSlope / Threshold one notch for volatile markets.
