Adaptive Step-Based Trend Following System

Category: Trend Detection | Overlay: Yes | Complexity: ⭐⭐⭐

Description

TrendStepper is a volatility-adaptive trend identification system that uses a stepped price channel methodology. Unlike traditional moving averages that lag price action, TrendStepper only changes direction when price moves a specified number of ticks away from the current trend value, filtering out market noise while capturing significant directional moves.

Core Logic

IF Close > TrendValue + (StepSize × TickSize) THEN
    TrendValue = Close - (StepSize × TickSize)
    Direction = BULLISH
ELSE IF Close < TrendValue - (StepSize × TickSize) THEN  
    TrendValue = Close + (StepSize × TickSize)
    Direction = BEARISH
ELSE
    Maintain Previous State

IF Close > TrendValue + (StepSize × TickSize) THEN
    TrendValue = Close - (StepSize × TickSize)
    Direction = BULLISH
ELSE IF Close < TrendValue - (StepSize × TickSize) THEN  
    TrendValue = Close + (StepSize × TickSize)
    Direction = BEARISH
ELSE
    Maintain Previous State
