TrendFlex as a Low-Lag Momentum Indicator
Summary
The document introduces TrendFlex as an extended form of John Ehlers’s Reflex indicator, which is described as an averaging method designed to reduce lag. It characterizes TrendFlex as a momentum-like indicator intended to produce signals more promptly than conventional lagging calculations. The text provides context about the related Reflex indicator but does not explain TrendFlex’s calculation, signal thresholds, or specific trading rules.
No charts, tests, or performance comparisons are included, so the claim of more timely signals is presented as the indicator’s intended design rather than demonstrated evidence. The document cautions that its default parameter setting is relatively long and recommends experimenting with settings before using it in trading decisions. Traders would need further documentation and independent testing to determine how the indicator behaves across assets and market conditions.
Key ideas
- TrendFlex is presented as an extension of the Reflex averaging indicator.
- The indicator is described as momentum-like and designed to reduce signal lag.
- The document gives no formula, signal rules, charts, or performance tests.
- Its default setting is described as long, and parameter choices should be explored before use.
