Cumulative Trend
The "Cumulative Trend" indicator is designed to provide insights into the cumulative price trend while considering volume and volatility. It aims to identify potential shifts in the trend based on the relationship between price changes and these factors. Let's break down the steps involved: In the code, the term "previous" refers to the average of the previous data points over a defined length. Instead of considering the exact previous data point, the code calculates the average of a specific number of preceding data points. It enables the consideration of multiple preceding values, resulting in a smoother representation of trends and a more robust analysis of the data
Calculation of Volume and Volatility Adjusted Price Change:
The indicator starts by calculating the price change as a percentage relative to the previous opening price.
It determines the standard deviation of the close prices, providing a measure of price volatility.
The coefficient of variation is calculated by comparing the standard deviation to the previous close price.
Intraday volatility is calculated as the difference between the high and low prices divided by the close price.
Various ratios are derived by comparing the current volume to the previous volume and relating the intraday volatility to the coefficient of variation.
Cumulative Sum:
The Volume and Volatility Adjusted Price Change values are cumulatively summed to form the cumulative sum.
This cumulative sum represents the overall trend of the price changes, incorporating the impact of volume and volatility.
Average Cumulative Sum:
The average cumulative sum is calculated by applying a simple moving average to the cumulative sum over a specified window size.
This moving average helps smooth out the cumulative trend and highlights the general direction of the price changes.
Average Cumulative Sum Change:
The change in the average cumulative sum is determined by subtracting the previous average cumulative sum value from the current value.
This calculation provides insights into the rate of change in the cumulative trend.
Color Determination:
Thresholds are introduced to define levels at which the trend is considered to change.
The average cumulative sum change is compared against these thresholds.
If the average cumulative sum change exceeds the upper threshold, the color is set to green, indicating a potential upward trend.
If the average cumulative sum change falls below the lower threshold, the color is set to red, indicating a potential downward trend.
If the average cumulative sum change is within the threshold range, the color is set to a yellowish tone, indicating a neutral or transitional phase.
Plotting:
The average cumulative sum is plotted as a line on the chart.
The color of the line is determined based on the calculated color value, reflecting the perceived trend direction.
In summary, the Cumulative Trend indicator integrates volume, volatility, and price changes to provide a cumulative perspective on the trend. It tracks the cumulative price changes, calculates the average trend, and visually represents potential trend shifts through color changes. Traders and analysts can utilize this indicator to identify and monitor changes in the underlying trend, aiding in decision-making and market analysis.
