Trend Meter [MMT]The Trend Meter is a dynamic Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a clear, multi-dimensional view of market trends and momentum across different timeframes and metrics. By integrating Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), higher timeframe (HTF) analysis, and Regular Trading Hours (RTH) breakouts, this indicator offers a comprehensive tool for identifying bullish, bearish, or neutral market conditions. Its customizable visual display and label system make it ideal for traders seeking actionable insights for trend-following, breakout, or reversal strategies.
Key Features:
1. Multi-Metric Trend Analysis:
- Trend Meter : Compares a Fast EMA (default: 9) and Slow EMA (default: 21) to determine short-term trend direction.
- Bias Meter : Uses a longer-term Bias EMA (default: 35) to assess the overall market bias based on the close price.
- VWAP Meter : Evaluates price position relative to the VWAP for dynamic support/resistance insights.
- HTF Meter : Analyzes higher timeframe (default: 60-minute) price action, detecting breakouts of previous highs/lows and candle direction.
- RTH Meter : Tracks price breakouts above/below the US Regular Trading Hours (09:30–16:00 EST) 15m opening range (09:30–09:45 EST).
2. Color-Coded Visuals:
- Each metric is displayed as a horizontal line with customizable colors (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
- Visual style options (dotted, dashed, or solid lines) allow for personalized chart clarity.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Optional labels for each metric (Trend, Bias, VWAP, HTF, RTH) with customizable text, size (tiny to huge), and color.

4. Flexible Metric Selection:
- Toggle individual metrics (EMA, VWAP, HTF, RTH) on/off to focus on relevant indicators for your trading style.
- Option to use the previous bar’s close price for calculations, reducing noise in volatile markets.
5. RTH and Opening Range Analysis:

- Signals bullish or bearish conditions when the price breaks above/below the opening range outside the initial 15-minute window.
6. Higher Timeframe Breakout Detection:
- Monitors HTF price action to identify breakouts of the previous candle’s high or low, combined with the HTF candle’s direction for trend confirmation.
How to Use:
- Trend Confirmation : Use the Trend and Bias Meters to confirm short-term and long-term market direction.
- Breakout Trading : Leverage the RTH Meter for breakout setups above/below the opening range during US trading hours.
- Support/Resistance : Utilize the VWAP Meter to identify dynamic price levels for entries or exits.

Trend Engine [MMT]The Trend Engine is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to identify trend direction, potential reversals, and key price levels using a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). This indicator provides traders with a clear visual representation of market bias, momentum, and key support/resistance levels, making it suitable for both trend-following and pullback trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. EMA Cloud System:
- Displays three customizable EMAs (Fast, Pullback, and Slow) with configurable lengths and visibility.
- Creates two cloud fills:
- Fast Cloud : Between the Fast EMA (default: 8) and Pullback EMA (default: 13).
- Slow Cloud : Between the Pullback EMA and Slow EMA (default: 21).
- Clouds are color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on EMA alignment, with adjustable transparency for clarity.
2. Bias EMA:
- A longer-term EMA (default: 35) indicates the overall market bias.
- Changes color based on whether the regular candle close is above (green) or below (red) the Bias EMA, providing a clear trend direction signal.
3. Heikin Ashi Signals:
- Utilizes Heikin Ashi candles to detect strong bullish or bearish momentum.
- Generates buy/sell signals when a Heikin Ashi candle confirms a trend (bullish HA candle closing above Bias EMA for buy, bearish HA candle closing below for sell).
- Signal arrows are currently disabled but can be enabled via settings for visual confirmation.
4. Anchored VWAP and Standard VWAP:
- Plots both a standard VWAP and an Anchored VWAP (anchored to the US RTH session, 09:30–16:00 EST).
- Customizable line styles (solid, cross, or circles) and colors for both VWAPs, aiding in identifying dynamic support/resistance levels.
5. Background and Candle Coloring:
- Optional background coloring reflects the market bias (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on the regular close relative to the Bias EMA.
- Optional Heikin Ashi candle coloring to visually distinguish bullish and bearish market conditions.
6. Regular Candle Close:
- Option to plot the regular (non-Heikin Ashi) close price with customizable styles (line, circles, or cross) for reference.
7. Alerts:
- Built-in alert conditions for bullish and bearish signals, allowing traders to receive notifications when a Heikin Ashi candle confirms a trend relative to the Bias EMA.
How to Use:
- Trend Identification : Use the Bias EMA and background color to determine the overall market direction.
- Pullback Trading : Monitor the EMA clouds for alignment (bullish or bearish) and use the Pullback EMA for entries during retracements.
- Support/Resistance : Leverage the VWAP and Anchored VWAP as dynamic levels for trade entries or exits.
