Clarix Trend Filter
Purpose
This indicator helps traders quickly identify strong bullish or bearish market conditions by combining a moving average and directional strength.
How It Works
SMMA (200): Smooths price to detect overall trend direction.
ADX (14): Measures trend strength, filtering out weak/noisy moves.
+DI / -DI: Directional movement indicators help confirm the dominant side.
Trend Logic
Bullish Trend: Price is above SMMA, ADX > threshold, and +DI > -DI
Bearish Trend: Price is below SMMA, ADX > threshold, and -DI > +DI
Otherwise, the trend is considered weak or unclear.
Features
Background shading for trend clarity
Optional buy/sell arrows based on trend confirmation
Configurable SMMA length and ADX threshold
Designed for 1-minute timeframes, but can be adjusted
Tips
Best used as a trend filter with your existing entry/exit strategy
Avoid trading signals when ADX is low (flat or ranging conditions)
Works well when combined with volume or momentum indicators
