📌 Intraday Market Context (Trend & Risk)
Overview
Intraday Market Context (Trend & Risk) is a non-signal, informational indicator designed to provide a high-level view of current market conditions. Instead of generating buy or sell signals, this tool helps traders understand what kind of market they are operating in and how cautious or aggressive they should be.The output is shown as a clean, fixed on-chart box with plain-language guidance.
What This Indicator Shows
The indicator displays three simple elements:
1️⃣ Market Type
Identifies the current market environment:
Trending Market
Sideways Market
Expanding / Breakout Market
Unclear Market
2️⃣ Risk Mode
Provides a relative assessment of market risk:
Normal Risk
Medium Risk
High Risk
This is contextual information only and does not imply trade direction.
3️⃣ What to Do
Plain-language behavioral guidance, not trade instructions:
Trend is Friend
Range is Friend
Wait for Pullback
Stay Out
These phrases are meant to guide trader behavior, not trigger trades.
How to Use
Use this indicator as a market context filter, not as a trading signal
Decide when to trade, trade cautiously, or stay out
Use your own execution tools (price action, EMAs, VWAP, structure, etc.) for entries and exits
Respect “Stay Out” conditions to avoid over-trading in unfavorable environments
