Adaptive Trend Finder

Adaptive Trend Finder

Overview

Adaptive Trend Finder is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that visualizes adaptive regression channels across short, mid, and long horizons. For each horizon it selects the period with the highest Pearson’s R to the log of price, then draws a midline and deviation bands. Optional table rows summarize the selected period, a plain-language trend-fit label (from R), and an Annualized Price Change metric for daily/weekly charts (descriptive of historical price movement only).

How It Works

The indicator computes logarithmic linear regressions for short (~20–200 bars), mid (~200–1100 bars), and long (~300–1200 bars) horizons using built-ins like math.log and math.exp. For each horizon, it picks the candidate period with the highest Pearson’s R, then uses the slope, intercept, and standard deviation to plot:
• Midline (regression)
• Upper/lower bands (default multipliers: 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0)
Channel color can follow price-action (close vs. previous close), direction (sign of slope), or a fixed color.

Key Features

• Adaptive channels: period auto-selection per horizon using Pearson’s R.
• Flexible visuals: configurable band multipliers, styles, and transparency.
• Readable stats: optional table for selected period, R-based trend-fit label, and Annualized Price Change (historical/descriptive; optional).
• Clean display: channels can extend left/right or not at all; table position and text size are configurable.

What It Displays

Three regression channels (short/mid/long) with configurable coloring, plus optional table rows describing the selected period and how closely the regression fits recent data (via R). This is a chart-visualization tool intended to help review historical trend behavior across timeframes.

Use Notes

Examples of chart review tasks include examining channel slope/width, noting where price interacts with bands, and comparing short vs. longer-term channels for context. This indicator does not generate signals or trade recommendations.

Configuration Notes

Adjust deviation multipliers (defaults: 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0), line styles/colors, and toggle short/mid/long channels. Choose table position and contents. The Annualized Price Change row (if enabled) is shown on daily/weekly charts as a descriptive price metric—not a performance claim.

Originality

Original Pine v6 implementation using TradingView built-ins (math.log, math.exp, math.sqrt, math.pow).
