The trend overlays
Four views of the same trend engine, each answering a slightly different question.
| Overlay | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Trend Line | Where does the trend flip? |
| Active Trend | Is price holding its side of the baseline? |
| Trend Ribbon | How far is price beyond its moving averages? |
| Trend Cloud | How close is the trend to flipping, and how many checks pass right now? |
You do not need all four at once. Most traders pick one or two.
Suggested combinations
Details for each: Overlays.
Key takeaways
- Each overlay reads the same trend engine
- Use one or two, not all four
- Match the overlay to the question you need answered
