Reading Two TrendFlex Values as a Low-Lag Trend Signal

Summary

This note describes an extended TrendFlex indicator derived from John Ehlers’s work on Reflex, an averaging indicator designed to reduce lag. Its stated aim is to produce signals more promptly than conventional lagging calculations. The extension changes how the output is displayed: it plots two TrendFlex values separately rather than showing their difference, inviting traders to interpret their relationship in another way.

The text provides no formula, parameter settings, chart examples, or performance tests, so it does not establish how to interpret the two values or whether the revised display improves timing. It is a brief description of an indicator concept, not a complete trading method. Readers would need the underlying indicator definition and independent testing before using it to make trading decisions.
