By Ox_kali
Updated
The Multi-Timeframe Trend Indicator (MTFTI) is a trend analysis tool designed to help traders quickly and easily assess the market direction across multiple timeframes. With the help of a table to visualize the trends on different timeframes.

Key features:
  • Multi-timeframe trend indicator for the following timeframes: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, and 1 week and average.
  • Displays trends for selected timeframes in a table.
  • Considers short and long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine trends.
  • Calculation of the average trend for all timeframes.
  • Display of trends with appropriate coloring for better readability (green for "Up", red for "Down", and intermediate shades for neutral or strong trends).


List of Parameters
  • Customization of the table's position on the screen (top-left, top-right, middle-left, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-right).
  • Setting the lengths of the short and long-term exponential moving averages.
  • Option to activate or deactivate the display of EMAs for better customization (true by default).



Please note that the MTFTI is not a guarantee of future market performance and should be used in conjunction with proper risk management. Always ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the indicator’s methodology and its limitations before making any investment decisions.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue reported by XRIICrypto affecting the use of the 10-minute trend. I appreciate the community feedback that helps me improve this script.

In Progress: I am currently working on enhancing user experience by greying out time units that cannot be retrieved due to chart history or TradingView limitations. This update will be made available soon.

Thank you for your support and patience as I continue to develop and refine the script.
