Trendiness Measure
by Brian Brown, 3423 days ago

This indicator measures the tendency of a security to trend. It does so by calculating a moving average then counting the number of times that moving average crosses the close price in the previous N-bars. The fewer crossovers the more evidence that the stock or security is trending. A high number of crossovers mean that the stock is in a congestion phase.

This trading indicator can be very useful in a trend following system to detect potential candidates.

Example of a trend following system:

sm = sma(100);
rule1 = close > sm;
rule2 = trending(100) == 0;
buy = rule1 and rule2;


The above system simply checks for stocks that were trending during the previous 100 bar (not a single crossover between the security and the simple moving average in the past 100 bars) and enters them long if the price is above the 100-bar moving average.

This function can also be used to detect congestion phases (high value returned by the trending function).
You can for example rank securities by the number of crossovers and then buy the ones that are making a new high.

Example:
rule1 = close == hhv(close, 100);
SetSimLongRank(trending(100));
buy = rule1;

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
