Updated HOG Pathfinder
HOG Pathfinder
📊 Overview
HOG Pathfinder is a forward-projection engine that analyzes trend, momentum, and volume to chart a probable path for the next candles. Built as a tactical overlay for directional bias, it gives traders a clean, visual estimate of where price is likely to head — without relying on hope or hindsight.
⚙️ How It Works
• Scores 5 key signals:
• EMA 9/21 trend slope
• RSI strength
• MACD histogram bias
• Price relative to EMA 50 (volume position)
• Trend confirmation via ADX
• Determines a bias: Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
• Uses average true range to project a path over the next 10 candles
• Displays a dotted line that curves upward, downward, or flat depending on strength and alignment
🎯 Inputs
• Projection Length — number of forward candles to project
• Show Target — enables future target logic (not plotted)
✅ Benefits
• Instant directional read of where price is likely to go
• Pairs perfectly with indicators like Trifecta or Super Trend
• Clean visual — no noise, just trajectory
• Built from native Pine Script logic — no dependencies
📈 Use Cases
• Forecasting next 10 candles on the daily or 4H
• Trade alignment with higher timeframe bias
• Visual guide for continuation or mean reversion trades
⚠️ Notes
• This is not a “prediction” tool — it projects the most probable path given current momentum, trend, and volume alignment
• Adjust slope logic in future versions to curve toward key zones or FVGs
