TrendArc — Coloured MA

TrendArc is a moving average indicator for TradingView. It plots a single line on your chart using a 34-period Exponential Moving Average. The line changes colour automatically based on its direction. When the moving average is rising, the line turns green to show a bullish trend. When the moving average is falling, the line turns red to show a bearish trend. This means you can read the current market direction in under a second. The indicator also adds a clean info panel to the top-right corner of the chart. The panel shows the indicator name, the current EMA value, the active ticker, and the trend signal. The signal reads BULLISH with a green arrow when the line is green. It reads BEARISH with a red arrow when the line is red. The signal colour always matches the line, so the bias is always obvious. TrendArc works on every asset class supported by TradingView. You can use it on forex pairs, stocks, ETFs, crypto, indices, futures, and commodities. It also works on every timeframe, from one-minute charts up to monthly charts. Scalpers use it on lower timeframes to filter the short-term trend. Day traders apply it on 5-minute to 1-hour charts to keep trades aligned with the bigger move. Swing traders use it on 1-hour to daily charts to ride longer trends. Position traders use it on daily and weekly charts to track multi-month direction. The most common way to trade with TrendArc is to follow the colour of the line. If the line is green, you only look for long trades. If the line is red, you only look for short trades. A simple entry method is to wait for price to pull back to the line. You then enter in the direction of the current colour. The line itself can be used as a moving stop-loss reference. You exit or trail your trade when the colour flips against your position. TrendArc includes two built-in TradingView alerts. One alert fires the moment the line turns bullish. The other alert fires the moment the line turns bearish. You can receive these alerts as popups, emails, mobile push notifications, SMS, or webhooks. Webhook alerts can connect TrendArc to trading bots, Discord, Telegram, or third-party automation services. The example chart shows TrendArc applied to SPY on the daily timeframe. Across four years of price action, the indicator captured every major regime change cleanly. The 2022 bear market is painted red almost the whole way down. The 2023 recovery and 2024 uptrend stay green for most of the period. The 2025 correction turns the line red across the drop. The 2026 recovery flips the line back to green as price makes new highs. This shows how well TrendArc separates real trends from short-term noise. TrendArc is a trend-direction filter, not a complete trading system. It will lag in very fast reversals and can flip colour quickly in sideways markets. For best results, always combine it with proper risk management. Also combine it with at least one independent confirmation tool such as volume, momentum, or support and resistance.

TrendArc is designed for day traders, swing traders, and position traders across forex, stocks, crypto, indices, futures, and commodities who want an uncluttered, visual way to read trend direction. It suits beginners learning to "trade with the trend" thanks to its simple green/red logic, and intermediate traders who already use moving averages but want cleaner visual feedback and automated alerts. It works equally well for manual chart traders and as a confirmation layer inside automated or webhook-driven bot workflows.

TrendArc replaces the constant question "is the trend up or down right now?" with a single, unambiguous visual answer. Instead of staring at a flat-coloured line and trying to judge slope by eye, traders get an immediate signal — and an alert when it changes. This saves time, reduces guesswork, enforces the discipline of trading with the trend, and helps traders avoid emotional decisions during sharp pullbacks. The info table reinforces the bias at a glance, and the alert system means traders do not have to babysit charts to catch regime shifts. As the SPY example demonstrates, every major trend over a four-year window — across bear markets, recoveries, corrections, and breakouts — was captured by simply following the colour.
