AC TrendPulse

AC TrendPulse

A context-aware trend strength and momentum indicator designed for active traders who need to know not just which way the trend is going, but how hard it's pushing and whether it's still accelerating or running out of gas.

• What It Shows:
  

TrendPulse displays a normalized histogram that tells you three things at a glance:

• Direction — Above zero = bullish regime, below zero = bearish regime
  
• Strength — Taller bars = stronger trend separation
  
• Momentum State — Bright bars = trend accelerating, dim bars = trend fading
  

• The Dead Zone
  

Unlike indicators that flip-flop on every tiny wiggle, TrendPulse includes a configurable dead zone around zero. The indicator won't commit to calling a regime until price action pushes through with conviction. No more false signals in choppy, range-bound markets.
Context-Aware Messaging
The indicator doesn't just show you data — it interprets it. Dynamic text adapts to what the trend is actually doing:

• Accelerating trends get aggressive warnings ("DON'T FIGHT IT")
  
• Fading trends soften the tone ("BUT FADING")
  
• Exhausted trends (5+ bars of deceleration) flip to opportunity mode ("watch for reversal setups")
  

This prevents the classic mistake of blindly following a "strong trend" signal right into a reversal.

• Divergence Detection
  

Automatic detection of classic divergences between price swings and momentum swings:

• Bearish Divergence — Price makes a higher high while momentum makes a lower high (orange)
  
• Bullish Divergence — Price makes a lower low while momentum makes a higher low (cyan)
  

Divergence lines are drawn directly on the histogram for clean visual confirmation.
