Description
⚡ 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.
🎯 Perfect for:
- Scalpers, intraday and swing traders wanting a clear trend filter + simple triggers
- 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.
Summary
The core mechanism uses ADX (0–100) to weight a fast and slow EMA: high ADX values favor the fast EMA for responsiveness, while low ADX values favor the slow EMA for stability. This approach delivers more responsiveness than static moving averages and greater stability than ADX alone.
Key features include candle color bars for instant trend context, a dashboard showing live periods and trend states, and hidden series outputs (TrendState and ADX) suitable for algorithmic trading and scanners. It supports multiple preset configurations for scalping, intraday, swing, and position trading, with adjustable parameters for trend detection sensitivity and noise filtering.
The indicator is applicable across various markets including Forex, indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, and is designed for use on multiple timeframes from one minute to daily charts. It is suitable for traders seeking a clear trend filter with simple triggers and for algo traders requiring stable, machine-readable signals.
