The Alchemy TrendCatcher Indicators

The Alchemy TrendCatcher is a powerful trend trading tool that is very easy to use and it will help you to stay in the right direction of any market move.

The Alchemy TrendCatcher comes as a chart analysis indicator and as a separate RadarScreen/Scanner indicator. These indicators combine 2 separate trend modules, the Alchemy TrendDirection module and the Alchemy Strong Trend module.

The TrendDirection module of these indicators identify the market trend on two separate time frames and calculate a logical trailing stop in order to stay with the trend for longer moves. We've developed a proprietary market trend and volatility algorithm that works in any market and on any time frame. The Alchemy TrendDirection trailing stop is self-adaptive to the market's current volatility, therefore minimizing the initial risk while staying with the trend. With this TrendDirection, you will never miss a big market move.

The Alchemy Strong Trend module is a strong trend detector, signaling the strength of a developing trend and increasing the reliability of a follow through of a previous reversal or breakout. When a strong trend is detected, the indicators display an entry zone at a logical retracement area, which provides a better entry price into the direction of the new trend. This trend confirmation method eliminates a large percentage of whipsaws and filters out a significant amount of noise when the market is in a non-trending, consolidating phase. At the same time, it catches all major market moves.

The Alchemy TrendCatcher RadarScreen/Scanner indicator allows you to sort and scan for markets that are within an entry zone or display a strong trend.

To demonstrate on how to use our Alchemy TrendCatcher indicators, we are showing a bullish and a bearish chart example, using the primary TrendDirection only and a bullish and a bearish chart example, using the TrendDirection on a higher time frame as a trend filter as well as some RadarScreen examples.
