⚡ 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

1. Bias: Above line + blue → focus longs; below line + red → focus shorts; yellow → stand aside.
2. Entry: take the arrow on price crossing the baseline (choose By Trend or All Crosses).
3. 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.
