© TCL TREND RADAR

The Ultimate Trend Scanner for MT4

Successful trading requires understanding the “Big Picture,” but manually analyzing eight different timeframes for every currency pair is exhausting and prone to error. The TCL Trend Radar solves this problem by condensing the entire market structure into a single, easy-to-read dashboard. It monitors the M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, and W1 timeframes simultaneously, giving you an instant “X-Ray” view of the market trend.

How It Works: Dual-Filter Logic

Unlike simple moving average indicators that produce frequent false signals in ranging markets, the TCL Trend Radar employs a strict Dual-Filter Strategy to validate every trend:

• Layer 1: Direction (MA Crossover): It first checks for a crossover between a Fast MA and a Slow MA (fully customizable per timeframe). This establishes the potential trend direction.
• Layer 2: Momentum (ADX Confirmation): It validates the direction using the Average Directional Index (ADX). A Bullish signal is only valid if the Positive Directional Index (+DI) is above the Negative Directional Index (-DI), and vice versa for Bearish signals.
• Layer 3: Strength Gating (Optional): The dashboard can filter out “weak” trends where the ADX is below a specific threshold (e.g., 20 or 25), keeping you out of flat, choppy markets.

Visual Momentum Rings

The dashboard features a unique “Ring” visualization next to each timeframe. As the trend strength (ADX) increases, the ring fills up with dots. This allows you to differentiate between a weak nascent trend and a powerful established trend at a glance.

Who Is This For?

This tool is designed for Trend Followers and Scalpers who need to align their entry timeframe with higher timeframe momentum. For example, a scalper trading on M5 can use the Trend Radar to ensure the H1 and H4 trends are aligned before taking a trade, significantly increasing win rates.

Why It Is Better Than Standard Tools

Standard MT4 indicators force you to open multiple windows. TCL Trend Radar overlays everything on one chart without cluttering your workspace. Furthermore, its Non-Repainting logic (when set to ‘ClosedBar’) ensures that the signals you see in history are exactly what appeared in real-time, making it reliable for backtesting and strategy development.
