Trendinator Lite
The Trendinator Lite indicator detects whether the crypto price is trending up or down. It is based on a set of rules developed by Scott Phillips.
According to the rules, trending is a two stage process (bollinger bands are 20 bar, 2 std):
1) Touch of the upper bollinger band for uptrend or touch of lower bollinger band for downtrend.
2) Look for a subsequent candle that makes both a higher high and a higher close since the upper bollinger touch in 1). When this happends, uptrend is confirmed. The reverse is true for down trend - look for a subsequent candle that makes both a lower low and a lower close since the lower bollinger touch in 1).
Trending stops when one of two things happens:
1) When we touch the lower bollinger band (in case of uptrend), or we touch the upper bollinger band (in case of downtrend).
2) When we continue for 20 bars without making a higher high (lower low for downtrend) than any of the preceding candles since we started trending.
The indicator is overlaid on top of the main chart - green for trending up, red for trending down, yellow for no trend.
Note, the upper bollinger and lower bollinger values are available as upper_bb and lower_bb respectively. Alerts can be set using these values if required.
