Auto Linear Trend Target x16

Experienced traders always tell us that “Never trade against the trend.” or “Trend is our friend.”. Yes sure, no one wants to trade against the trend. However, there are a lot of trends with different types and cycles, then which trend to follow, which trend they are mentioning? This tool (also known as ALTT x16, Laser Net x16) will support us in identifying different linear trends with different cycles. Nearest history-based targets are also added for our convenience of completeness.

Markets: All.
Timeframes: All. Recommendation: 30m and above.
Periods: Up to 16.
Usage: The higher period of a trend, the more strength it has. Enter when price breakouts a trend line and exit at the nearest trend line and target.

Versionshinweise:

• Expand max of lower periods (0-3) to 500 and max of upper periods (4-13) to 1000, (14-15) to 1200.
• Error: Pine cannot determine the referencing length of a series.

Solution: Try to reduce (uncheck) high periods in calculating targets. It does not affect the suggested targets offered by the tool as only nearest targets are shown.

Add default period profile options. We could switch easily between period profiles.

Example:
1w, Low Periods

1w, High Periods

30m, Low Periods

30m, High Periods
