Dynamic Flow Ribbons [BigBeluga]

🔵 OVERVIEW
A dynamic multi-band trend visualization system that adapts to market volatility and reveals trend momentum with layered ribbon channels.

Dynamic Flow Ribbons [BigBeluga] transforms price action into flowing trend bands that expand and contract with volatility. It not only shows the active directional bias but also visualizes how strong or weak the trend is through layered ribbons, making it easier to assess trend quality and structure.

🔵 CONCEPTS

Uses an adaptive trend detection system built on a volatility envelope derived from an EMA of the average price (HLC3).
Measures volatility using a long-period average of the high-low range, which scales the envelope width dynamically.
Trend direction flips when the average price crosses above or below these envelopes.
Ribbons form around the trend line to show how far price is stretching or compressing relative to the mean.

🔵 FEATURES

Volatility-Based Trend Line:
A thick, color-coded line tracks the current trend with smoother transitions between phases.
Multi-Layered Flow Ribbons:
Up to 10 bands (5 above and 5 below) radiate outward from the upper and lower envelopes, reflecting volatility strength and direction.
Trend Coloring & Transitions:
Ribbons and candles are dynamically colored based on trend direction—green for bullish, orange for bearish. Transparency fades with distance from the core trend band.
Real-Time Responsiveness:
Ribbon structure and trend shifts update in real time, adapting instantly to fast market changes.

🔵 HOW TO USE

Use the color and thickness of the core trend line to follow directional bias.
When ribbons widen symmetrically, it signals strong trend momentum.
Narrowing or overlapping ribbons can suggest consolidation or transition zones.
Combine with breakout systems or volume tools to confirm impulsive or corrective phases.
Adjust the “Length” (factor) input to tune sensitivity—higher values smooth trends more.

🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Flow Ribbons [BigBeluga] offers a sleek and insightful view into trend strength and structure. By visualizing volatility expansion with directional flow, it becomes a powerful overlay for momentum traders, swing strategists, and trend followers who want to stay ahead of evolving market flows
