Reading Madrid Trend Squeeze Histograms for Trend and Exhaustion

Summary

This indicator presents trend information through three histogram series: price relative to a longer exponential average, a shorter average relative to the same baseline, and a reference average. Their colors distinguish broad and current bullish or bearish conditions, possible pauses, and periods described as favorable for long or short positions. The document calls aligned bullish histogram colors a squeeze and associates alignment strength with a stronger setup.

The guidance treats a pause color as a potential entry, re-entry, or exit cue. A fading or contracting aqua or fuchsia histogram may signal that a move is tiring, but later bars should confirm it. Certain color combinations without an intermediate color may instead reflect a temporary shakeout. The code specifies lengths of 34, 13, and 5 for the averages. No backtest, return data, or objective confirmation rules are supplied, so these color interpretations are heuristic and require independent testing.

Key ideas

• The indicator compares price and two exponential averages against a longer average to display trend histograms.
• Aligned bullish histogram colors are presented as a squeeze, with larger values treated as stronger.
• A pause color may indicate a possible entry, re-entry, or exit point.
• Shrinking aqua or fuchsia bars may suggest exhaustion, but the document says later bars should confirm it.
• The document provides no performance study or formal validation of its signals.
