How to read it

  • The filtered line smooths price; a close beyond the ATR band flips the trend.
  • BUY / SELL prints only when volume delta supports the flip; otherwise the flip waits as pending.
  • Background zones show the active side; the label shows the PnL of the latest signal.

Key settings

  • Kalman filter: process noise Q 0.0005, measurement noise R 0.3.
  • Trend band: ATR length 200, band multiplier 2.
  • Volume confirmation on, delta threshold 0.3 over a 100-bar lookback.

Good to know

  • Drawn on the price pane, over the candles.
  • An analysis tool, not financial advice.
