The COIN / BTC Extreme Trend Oscillator is an advanced version of the COIN/BTC Trend Oscillator, designed specifically for identifying and trading strong market trends. By combining VWAP divergences, ATR-normalized momentum, and trend strength filtering (ADX), this indicator filters out noise from sideways markets and focuses on high-confidence signals during trending conditions.
How It Works:
Enhancements Over the Original Trend Oscillator:
Trend Strength Filtering (ADX): • Filters out signals in sideways or low-momentum markets. • Highlights strong bullish and bearish trends with confidence.
Signal Conditioning: • Only displays signals in trending markets to reduce false positives. • Background colors indicate the direction of the trend: • Red: Strong bullish trend. • Green: Strong bearish trend.
Dynamic Normalization: • Uses ATR to adjust the oscillator for market volatility, improving adaptability across varying conditions.
Key Features:
[] VWAP Divergences: Tracks the momentum difference between COIN and BTC using their respective VWAPs. [] Normalized Oscillator: Scales momentum to volatility, making it easier to interpret across market conditions. [] Trend Strength Filtering: ADX ensures signals are only generated during strong trends. [] Clear Visuals: • Red background for strong uptrends. • Green background for strong downtrends.
Why It’s Better:
• The original Trend Oscillator generates signals in all market conditions, which may lead to false positives during sideways markets. • The Extreme Trend Oscillator focuses exclusively on strong trends, ensuring higher signal quality and fewer unnecessary trades. • Enhanced filtering and normalization make it more robust for high-confidence trend-following strategies.
Use Case:
• Ideal for traders seeking to capture strong trending moves in COIN and BTC. • Use it to time entries and exits during macro bullish or bearish phases, avoiding noise from consolidating markets.
Limitations:
[] Lag may occur due to VWAP and ADX smoothing, especially in fast-moving markets. [] Less effective in range-bound or choppy conditions.
Pro Tip:
Pair this indicator with momentum tools like RSI or volume filters for confirmation, or use it alongside higher timeframe trend analysis to maximize accuracy.
