Identifying trends may seem simple, but in fact it is the most complicated problem. All indicators, in the final analysis, are to answer this question.

The trend is actually a more subjective view. Different traders may have different opinions on the same trend.

1. First define: Divide all trends into three types: uptrend, downtrend, and neither rise nor fall ("consolidation").

2. Define the trend level: 5-minute chart trend, 30-minute chart trend, daily trend and so on. The upward trend of the 5-minute chart may only be "consolidation" in the 30-minute chart and the daily chart.

3. Then go to viewtopic.php?f=579496&t=8472182&start=1160 and find an indicator to analyze the trend.

4. Now, we might as well use the High-low trend mtf 3 BT indicator processed by teacher kvak today to illustrate: (I adjusted the parameters of this indicator for easy explanation)

My definition is: any period of trend, as long as it is higher than the previous period, is an upward trend;
As long as it is lower than the previous period, it is a downward trend;
Not higher than the previous paragraph, or not lower than the previous paragraph, is "consolidation."
