The Trend Duration Forecast indicator is designed to estimate the probable lifespan of a bullish or bearish trend. Using a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to detect directional shifts, it tracks the duration of each historical trend and calculates an average to forecast how long the current trend is statistically likely to continue. This allows traders to visualize both real-time trend strength and potential exhaustion zones with exceptional clarity.
KEY FEATURES
Dynamic Trend Detection: Utilizes the Hull Moving Average to identify when price transitions into a new uptrend or downtrend.
Trend Duration Counting: Measures the number of bars in each completed bullish and bearish phase to understand trend persistence.
Forecast Projection: Automatically projects an estimated trend continuation line based on the average length of recent trends.
Real-Time Updates: Continuously updates the “Real Length” label as the trend develops
Historical Data Table: Displays previous trend durations for both bullish and bearish cycles, along with their averages.
Adaptive Sampling: Uses a customizable sample size to smooth out volatility in the forecast and provide statistically meaningful projections.
Color-Based Clarity: Highlights uptrends is green and downtrends is red for instant visual interpretation.
Compare the Real Length of the ongoing trend with the Probable Length forecast to estimate whether the move is nearing exhaustion.
Ideal for swing or trend-following strategies where trend longevity is crucial to managing entries and exits effectively.
SETTINGS
Trend Detection Sensitivity: Control how fast or slow the indicator reacts to trend changes — lower values increase responsiveness, while higher values smooth out noise.
Trend Sample Size: Historical duration table to understand the average lifespan of trends in the current market structure
Color Trend: Use the color HMA line and projection arrows to identify when momentum strength is fading and prepare for possible reversals.
Alert: Alert when the trend reverses.
The Trend Duration Forecast gives traders a quantitative edge by combining real-time trend tracking with statistical forecasting. It helps identify not only when a new trend begins, but also how long it’s likely to persist based on past market behavior. This indicator enhances timing precision for both entries and exits, supporting smarter trend-following decisions with clear, data-driven insights.
