Correlation-Based Market State as a Trend Indicator

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This brief indicator description introduces a market-state component based on correlation, drawing on a June 2020 TASC article about using correlation as a cycle indicator. The referenced approach presents three possible ways to determine market trend, and this version focuses specifically on the market-state portion of the correlation calculation.

The document does not explain the calculation, define its inputs, provide trading rules, or show charts or test results. It therefore offers only a pointer to a trend-classification concept rather than enough detail to reproduce or evaluate the indicator. Any use would require the fuller method and independent testing; no evidence of predictive performance is included here.

Key ideas

  • The indicator uses correlation as part of a method for determining market trend.
  • This version covers the market-state portion of the calculation.
  • The description refers to three trend-determination approaches but does not detail them.
  • No formula, trading rules, or performance evidence is provided.
