Trend Signal Grid
Trend Signal Grid
Based on Trend Direction & Force Index - TDFI [wm] by Causecelebre, the TDFI Grid is a multi-timeframe momentum indicator that builds on the original TDFI concept. It calculates TDFI across three user-selectable timeframes using three different lookback periods, creating a 3×3 consensus grid (9 readings total).
Each cell is classified as bullish, bearish, or neutral based on configurable upper and lower thresholds. When a majority of the 9 readings align in the same direction (default 65%), the indicator triggers a directional signal — either GRID UP or GRID DOWN. Alerts fire automatically on new signals so you never miss a shift.
How it works
The indicator uses a smoothed EMA-based momentum calculation, normalises the output against its recent highest absolute value, and then maps it across your chosen timeframes and lookback lengths. The results are displayed in a clean on-chart table showing the state of each timeframe/lookback combination at a glance.
Settings:
Timeframe 1, 2, 3 — Choose any three timeframes (defaults to 1m, 5m, 15m).
LB1, LB2, LB3 — Lookback periods for each TDFI calculation.
UP / DOWN thresholds — Controls how far the TDFI must move before a cell registers as bullish or bearish.
Majority — The percentage of the 9 cells that must agree to trigger a signal.
Table position — Place the grid anywhere on your chart.
Best used for
Trading setups where you need to confirm momentum alignment across multiple timeframes before entering or scaling a position. Works well on forex and metals.
