FAQ
What does trendDirSignal output?
1 = uptrend, -1 = downtrend, 0 = no clear trend. Use it as a clean conditional filter in any strategy — e.g. "allow longs only when trendDirSignal = 1".
How is this different from a simple moving average?
Coral Trend uses multiple moving averages combined with complex smoothing formulas for cleaner, less laggy trend identification. The result is smoother dots and a clean three-state directional read instead of a noisy single MA line.
Why is this popular in FOREX?
FX traders often need a clean directional filter that survives ranging conditions and quick reversals. Coral Trend's multi-MA smoothing handles both better than a single MA — hence its long-standing popularity in FX circles.
Does it repaint?
No. Trend calculations are non-repainting and based on confirmed bar data.
Can I color candlesticks or the background?
Yes. Both options are available — candlestick coloring or background coloring based on trend state. Pick whichever gives you the clearest read.
Will I get future updates?
Yes — every Lifetime License includes all minor updates and bug fixes for as long as the product exists. Major version upgrades are also included.
