The idea
Most trend tools try to answer too many questions at once. Tideline answers one: which way is the tide running? It draws a single trailing line from an ATR-based SuperTrend. Green below price while the market trends up, red above it while it trends down, and flips the moment the trend does.
The space between price and the line is shaded, so you can read at a glance how far a move has run and where the trend would break.
This project is for information purpose only, NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
Ride the trend
The line doubles as a trailing stop. A status box in the corner shows the current direction, how many bars the trend has lasted and how far price sits from the line. Candle colouring and a higher-timeframe trend line are one toggle away.
Filtering out the chop
Trend indicators fall apart in sideways markets. Tideline’s ADX chop filter holds signals back while the market ranges and fades the line, so you can see it’s standing aside. Signals can also wait for a set number of confirming bars, or require the higher timeframe to agree.
Each trend fires a single BUY or SELL signal, and alerts cover both filtered signals and every flip, so it can run quietly in the background. Built in Pine Script v6 for TradingView. Charts use illustrative data.
