Gedhusek TrendFibonacciThis indicator is a trend filter based on fibonacci retracement levels
How to read:
- There are three filled zones --> red, yellow and green
- If the price is inside of red zone, there is a downtrend on the market
- If the price is inside the yellow zone, there is a sideways trend on the market
- If the price is inside the green zone, there is a uptrend on the market
- Also, candles are going to have a corresponding color based on the current trend
Calculations of the indicator:
1. Calculate distance between maximal and minimal price over the last "x" bars (choose value for "x" in inputs menu under the "Analysis period")
2. Use this distance for calculating two retracement levels (choose retracement levels in inputs menu)
3. These two retracement levels create an area of what is going to be considered as sideways market
Example:
- Lets say we chose Analysis period of 100, Lower Fibonacci Level as 0.382 and Upper Fibonacci Level as 0.618
- Maximum price over the last 100 bars was of 120 and minimum price was 20. That leaves us with the difference of 100 points
- Now we calculate the fibonacci levels --> 100*0.382 = 38.2 and 100*0.618 = 61.8
- The next step is to add the levels to the lowest price point --> 20 + 38.2 = 58.2 and 20 + 61.8 = 81.8
- And now we have our zones. If the price is going to be below the lower fibonacci level (in this case 58.2), we consider it as a bearish trend. If the price is between those fibonacci levels (58.2 and 81.8), we consider it as a sideways trend. And if the price is above the upper fibonacci level (81.8), we consider it as a bullish trend.
Inputs:
- Analysis period --> number of bars within which the system is going to look for max and min price
- Lower Fibonacci Level --> Choose from options and must be lower or the same as "Upper Fibonacci Level"
- Upper Fibonacci Level --> Choose from options and must be higher or the same as "Lower Fibonacci Level"
- Show Filling --> whether you wish to fill the areas with color
- Change Candle Color --> whether you wish to change the color of candles based on current trend.

Gedhusek UltraTrendThis indicator serves a purpose of a trend recognizer. It is able to tell you whether the market is bullish, bearish or if the price goes sideways.
Process of determining the trend:
- The indicator uses 3 moving averages to determine the trend
- For each of these averages, there is calculated value change over a certain period. So, if the value of Moving average was 100 and now it is 110, the change is going to be +10
- After these calculations are done, all three of these values are summed up into one
- Based on this value we can determine whether the overall sentiment is bullish or bearish (if the value is larger than 0, the sentiment is bullish and if it is bellow 0, it is bearish)
- One more metric is used when determining the overall trend, and that is the ATR indicator. This indicator represents a certain movement threshold that has to be surpassed in order to have a valid trend
- So all of this can be summed up into this -> if the summed up value of the value shift of 3 moving averages over certain period is larger than ATR value for certain period, the trend is considered as bullish and if this summed up value is lower than ATR value *-1, the trend is considered as bearish. In case the summed value is smaller than ATR value and larger than ATR value *-1, there is no trend.

How to use the Indicator:
- The indicator should be used as a tool for giving you a generic feel about the current trend
- It is not a signal providing system
- It can be adjusted for any trading style by changing the Periods in input menu. (As the values are lower, it will give you more short time trend and vice versa)
- It is a great tool to combine with any trend following strategy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which markets and TimeFrame:
- The UltraTrend Indicator works on all of the markets and all of the TF
- I usually use it on 15min and 1H TF, but that is solely my preference
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inputs:
First Period = Period of the first MA
Second Period = Period of the second MA
Third Period = Period of the third MA
ATR Period = Period of the ATR
