Adjust the parameters according to your preferred noise tolerance level:

• 🔃 Source: Select the input price source for calculations (e.g., close, open, high, low). Default: Close.
  
  
• 🔃 Period: Sets the length for RSI-based calculations. Shorter periods increase signal sensitivity, while longer periods enhance stability. Default: 32.
  
  
• 🔃 Scaling Factor: Adjusts the weight applied to signal strength, allowing fine-tuning for different levels of market volatility. Default: 4.0.
  
  
• 🔃 Adaptive Signal Factor: Controls the adaptability of the signals. Higher values make the indicator more responsive to trend shifts. Suggested range: 1–12. Default: 2.
  
  Additional Settings:
  
• 🔃 Fast MA Multiplier: Multiplies the fast moving average for more precise tracking of short-term trends. Default: 2.
  
  
• 🔃 Slow MA Multiplier: Adjusts the slow moving average to refine long-term trend assessments. Default: 2.
  
  Momentum Trend Band:
  
• 🔃 Band Length: Defines the length of the Momentum Trend Band. A higher value results in smoother bands, while lower values offer faster responsiveness. Default: 6.

• 🔃 Fast Trend Skew: Calibrates the sensitivity of the fast trend band for better responsiveness to sharp market movements. Suggested range: 0.7–1.0. Default: 0.784.

Trading Edge v3.0 provides a highly flexible framework that can be tailored to suit any trading style, instrument, or market condition. Traders are encouraged to experiment with the parameters to find the optimal configuration for their strategy.


How to Use the Indicator:

1. Apply the Indicator: Add the c v3.0 indicator to your chart, selecting your desired instrument and time frame. Adjust the settings to suit your trading strategy (See "Settings & Customization" above").
2. Buy Signals: When a Buy signal is confirmed (Blue triangle, up ▲) –> enter a Long position.
3. Sell Signals: When a Sell signal is confirmed (Red triangle, down ▼) –> exit the Long position (or enter a Short position).
4. Manage Exits: Exit also the trade when –> it reaches your profit target, limit, or stop loss (based on your discretion).

Use the Momentum Trend Band for Trend Following:
- Entering Trades: Enter Long positions in the direction of the green Trend Band(s) and exit or enter Short positions in the direction of the red Trend Band(s).
- Swing Trading or Trend Following: Use the Momentum Trend Band to stay with the trend as long as the price remains within the green band(s). This allows traders to ride sustained trends effectively while reducing noise and false exits.

IMPORTANT: Always wait for the candlestick to close before acting on a signal to ensure confirmation.


Additional Features

• Adaptive Momentum Trend Band: An adaptive trend indicator that serves as a powerful standalone tool or complements primary signals, offering comprehensive market insights. (To use it as a standalone tool, go to Indicator Settings > Style and disable the Buy and Sell signals.)
  
• Custom Alerts: Set real-time alerts to ensure you never miss a trading opportunity. Use "Once Per Bar Close" for confirmed signals.
  

Tips for Best Results

• Adjust Settings for Different Time Frames: For shorter time frames (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute), you may need to fine-tune the signal sensitivity to avoid false signals.
  
• Experiment with Filters: Focus on the main variables, "Period", "Scaling Factor", and "Adaptive Signal Factor", and adjust the values to align with the instrument's volatility and your trading objectives. Tweak the Fast/Slow MA Multiplier settings to fine-tune the signals.
  
• Use with Alternative Candles: Traditional bar candles are recommended, though Heikin Ashi candles can help filter out noise, offering a clearer view of trends.
  
• Combine with Other Indicators: Enhance performance by combining Trading Edge with support/resistance levels, volume indicators, or moving averages.
  

Important Notice

⚠ If you are new to trading and/or technical analysis, it’s recommended to start with a demo account (paper-trading) until you become familiar with how to use the indicator before applying it to live trades.

The Trading Edge indicator is non-repainting, meaning signals do not change or disappear after the bar closes. While Trading Edge delivers reliable Buy/Sell signals, it is essential to combine it with a solid risk management strategy and other forms of technical analysis. Keep in mind that no indicator guarantees success, as markets are influenced by unpredictable events.
