Adaptive Trend Checklist (EMA + Supertrend + ADX)
Adaptive Trend Checklist is a market context and validation tool designed for discretionary traders who prioritize structure, risk control, and trade quality over aggressive signal chasing.
The script combines EMA, Supertrend, and ADX, with optional multi-timeframe (HTF) confirmation, to provide a clear view of market conditions before entering a trade.
This is not a signal-spamming indicator.
It is a visual checklist that helps identify when to trade, when to reduce risk, and when to stay out of the market.
