The concept is built around Kvak’s SuperTrend (pmax) and his improved version of the Trend Direction and Force Index, which forms the core logic and allowed me to generate some very interesting signals.
One of the elements of this mod is arrows.
People love arrows. Some are even ready to put a lot of yuan on a single one.
But here, in most cases, we will actually ignore them. There will be plenty of false ones — and that’s fine. They are still needed. I illustrated the logic in the screenshot.
To avoid being overwhelmed with signals, I chose the M15 timeframe. It’s a golden middle between signal frequency and quality.
I would appreciate any help from forum members in optimizing this mod. You can experiment with timeframes (MTF is available), adjust TDFI sensitivity (10–20, etc.), and modify the filter width (0.05–0.6, etc.).
I created a kind of universal preset, but ideally it should be optimized per pair — zooming out to H1–H4 and adjusting Pmax sensitivity and stepNema so that it doesn’t repaint or flip too early, yet remains sensitive enough not to miss pullbacks and continuation entries after a trend shift (the “catapult” effect
The VZU system performs very well on the H1 timeframe. Entries are often taken on reversals — whether it’s a continuation of the H4 trend or just a correction within it.
My mod, as I see it, allows you to integrate into the current trend.
Kvak also developed an indicator that filters signals against the SuperTrend. However, at the moment the code seems to break when it generates a breakout signal back into the indicator’s central zone.

In theory, you could run two TDFIs — one with high sensitivity and ST filtered to avoid missing trend continuation entries, and one with lower sensitivity w/o the filter (like mine with filter 0.6) to show only significant price movements.
However, as I mentioned earlier, counter-trend signals can also be useful for analysis — for example, entries around double bottoms/tops, etc.
PS: And of course, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the creators of this wonderful forum, to the indicator developers and coders (especially Kvak), to the experienced traders, and to everyone involved — whose combined efforts make it possible for people to learn and continuously improve their trading skills.
