Classifying Trend Strength with Stochastic-Based States

Summary

This indicator uses the Stochastic oscillator as its signal source to classify trend direction and strength into four visual states. Strong upward movement is shown in blue, while weaker upward movement is pale green. Strong declines are marked red, and weaker declines use a ginger color. The display is intended to help distinguish trend intensity as well as direction.

The document gives a brief description and notes that an earlier version appeared in MQL4, but provides no formula, parameter settings, chart evidence, performance results, or trading rules. It does not explain how the four states are calculated or how traders should act on them. The indicator can be understood as a trend-state visualization; its predictive value and usefulness for entries or exits would need independent evaluation.

Key ideas

• The indicator derives signals from the Stochastic oscillator.
• It separates upward and downward movement into strong and weak states.
• Distinct colors identify each of the four trend states.
• The description does not specify thresholds, trading rules, or performance evidence.
