Volatility Cluster Trend.

VCT - Volatility Cluster Trend

What it does
This indicator groups market volatility into 3 zones (low, medium, high) using a clustering method. Then it picks the right zone for current conditions and draws a trend line that adapts automatically.
Green line below price = uptrend
Red line above price = downtrend
Triangles show when trend flips.

Settings
ATR Length - how smooth the volatility reading is. Default 10 works fine. Go higher for less noise.
Factor - how far the line sits from price. Higher = wider stops, fewer signals. Lower = tighter, more signals. Default 3 is balanced.
Lookback Period - how much history to analyze for clustering. 100 bars is good for most timeframes.
Colors - pick what you like.

How to trade it
Long

Wait for green triangle
Price should be above the green line
Enter on next candle or pullback to line

Short

Wait for red triangle
Price should be below red line
Enter on next candle or pullback to line

Stop loss

Put it on the other side of the line
If long, stop goes just below green line
If short, stop goes just above red line

Exit

When opposite signal appears
Or trail your stop along the line


Tips

Works best on trending markets
Choppy sideways = lots of false signals
Higher timeframes (4h, daily) give cleaner signals
Combine with support/resistance for better entries
Don't chase - wait for pullbacks to the line
