What it does

Nick2k Trend Tracker MT bot identifies trend flips using a percentile-normalized SMA slope with hysteresis, then applies a multi-layer filter suite to avoid false signals in low-quality conditions.

It can optionally auto-manage trades via PineConnector:

• Send open orders with SL/TP (ATR- or pip-based)
  
• Breakeven activation
  
• Dual trailing stops (pip-based or ATR-based)
  
• Staged partial closes (up to 3 levels)
  

The indicator also:

• Highlights chop zones in the background
  
• Provides diagnostic labels showing which filters passed/failed
  
• Lets you disable all alerts with one checkbox (visual testing mode)

Core logic (simplified)

1. Trend Engine: SMA slope normalized by a rolling percentile; flips with hysteresis at +0.1/–0.1.
   
2. Filters: optional checks for slope strength, ADX, narrow range ratio, ATR squeeze, higher-timeframe slope.
   
3. Sessions: entry/management can be gated to London, NY, Tokyo, Sydney sessions and weekdays.
   
4. Chop highlight: background shading when ranges/low-volatility are detected for consecutive bars.

Why this script is unique (and closed-source)

This is not a simple moving-average crossover. It combines several custom-built methods that are rarely seen in public scripts:

• Normalized SMA slope with hysteresis: avoids whipsaws, adapts to volatility regimes.
  
• Multi-filter confirmation: ADX, NRR, ATR squeeze, HTF slope — stacked to improve quality.
  
• Chop detection with persistence: custom counter/hold logic to highlight ranging markets.
  
• Integrated trade management: PineConnector-ready messages with SL/TP, breakeven, dual trailing stops, staged partial closes.
  
• EA-compatible syntax: formatted exactly for PineConnector EAs, including safety toggles.
  

This represents a full trading framework designed for semi-automated gold scalping, not just a “signal indicator.”
The source is protected to prevent clones and preserve development effort invested in unique logic and PineConnector integration.
