ian_Trado v15 Trend Entry Filter
# 📈 ian_Trado v15 Trend Entry Filter (Pine Script v6)
The **ian_Trado v15** is a multi-factor **trend confirmation filter** for NASDAQ (NAS100), Dow Jones (DJ30), Gold (XAU), DAX, and USDJPY.
It combines **EMA structure**, **Donchian channel breakout**, **MACD histogram momentum**, **Volume confirmation**, and a **Range Compression Filter** to avoid entering during choppy or sideways markets.
✅ Designed for **bot deployment** (e.g., grid bots, long/short breakout bots) or **manual trading**.
---
## 🔍 How This Filter Works:
1. **EMA Trend Confirmation**
- Long Trend: EMA(1) > EMA(5) > EMA(60)
- Short Trend: EMA(1) < EMA(5) < EMA(60)
2. **Donchian Channel Width Expansion**
- Only allows trades when the **breakout width** exceeds a minimum threshold.
3. **MACD Histogram Slope Filter (Optional)**
- Confirms momentum building in the direction of the trend.
- Strict Mode: MACD histogram must consistently rise or fall over 3 bars.
4. **Volume Filter (Optional)**
- Ensures volume supports the move (filters out weak conditions).
5. **Range Compression Filter (Optional)**
- Avoids entries during sideways chop.
6. **Cooldown Control**
- Limits overtrading by requiring spacing between entries.
7. **Exit Conditions**
- Gray dot appears when trending conditions are no longer valid.
