WHAT TRENDEX ANALYZES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trendex analyzes price action using a proprietary algorithm based on:

- Moving average smoothing for signal precision
- ATR-based volatility measurement
- Trend strength calculation with bar-by-bar analysis
The indicator combines these elements to generate reliable trend reversal signals while filtering out market noise.
