Dynamic Touch Trendlines [QuantVue]

١٢ سبتمبر

The Dynamic Touch Trendlines (DTT) indicator automatically draws and manages trendlines on your chart, helping traders identify key support and resistance levels.

What sets the DTT indicator apart from other trendline indicators is its ability to let traders customize the number of touches required to validate a trendline. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune the indicator for different markets or trading styles, ensuring only strong trendlines with the specified number of touches are considered valid.



This indicator features both uptrend lines (drawn from pivot lows) and downtrend lines (drawn from pivot highs), making it suitable for detecting bullish and bearish trends.

An uptrend line connects three (default setting) or more significant lows, showing where price has historically found support. Traders often look for price to bounce off this line during pullbacks in an uptrend.



When price breaks below an uptrend line, it suggests a weakening of the bullish trend. This could mean that buyers are losing strength, and the market may be transitioning into a bearish phase, providing a potential opportunity for traders to enter short positions or exit long positions.



Conversely, a downtrend line connects three (default setting) or more significant highs, indicating potential resistance in a downtrend. Price action below this line can signal continued bearish momentum.



When price breaks above a downtrend line, it indicates a potential reversal of the bearish trend. This can signal the end of selling pressure and the beginning of a new bullish phase, offering traders a potential opportunity to enter long positions.



Key settings:

Minimum Touches: This sets the number of price touches required to validate a trendline. Increasing the minimum touches filters out weaker trends, ensuring that only more reliable trendlines are drawn.

Buffer: The buffer is used to account for minor price overshoots or near misses relative to the trendline. It creates a margin around the trendline, allowing price to come close to the line—whether it overshoots slightly or falls just short—and still count as a valid touch. This helps ensure that small price fluctuations or market noise don’t prevent valid trendline touches from being recognized, making the trendlines more reliable.

Trendline Break Source: Allows traders to define how a trendline is considered broken—either based on the close of the price bar or the wicks (highs and lows) of the price action.

The DTT indicator also features alerts whenever a new trendline is detected or an existing trendline is broken!
