Trend Pro holds flat while a market chops, and flips only when price genuinely goes the other way — and stays there. It measures each symbol's own volatility to decide what "genuinely" means, so the same indicator works on gold, the Nifty, a single stock or Bitcoin without you touching a setting.
One plan covers every symbol. Access is granted to your exact TradingView username, usually within a few hours.
Most trend tools recalculate every bar and get chopped to pieces in a sideways market. Trend Pro walks an internal ladder that only advances on structurally meaningful progress — and three parameters define exactly what "meaningful" means. Defaults are sensible; every one of them is yours to change.
The ladder advances only when price covers a whole step. A bigger step means a quieter line. In Auto mode the step is the symbol's own Average True Range times a multiplier, so it re-measures itself on every market and every timeframe.
Price has to travel this many steps against the prevailing trend before a flip is even considered. This is what lets the line sit still through an ordinary pullback instead of treating it as a trend change.
Consecutive bar closes required beyond the reversal level before the trend actually flips. This is the whipsaw filter — the thing that separates Trend Pro from a plain step-reversal line. Set it to 1 and the filter is off.
Both panels below run the identical price series through the identical engine. The only difference is the Flip Confirmation input. This is the single clearest illustration of what the setting buys you — and the honest cost of it, which is that a genuine turn arrives a bar or two later.
Illustrative price data, shown to explain the mechanism. It is not a backtest and implies nothing about results on any real market.
Step size is the one thing that has to be right, because everything else is expressed in multiples of it. There are two honest ways to set it, and the default is the one that needs no work from you.
The step is ATR(length) × multiplier, recalculated from the chart in front of you. Switch symbol, switch timeframe, or sit through a change in volatility regime, and the step follows — a 1-minute gold chart and a daily Bitcoin chart both get a step denominated in their own volatility. This is why one script can replace a build per instrument.
A fixed step in points, for traders who want the ladder tied to a level structure they already use rather than to volatility. The value you enter is anchored to a 5-minute chart and scaled by √(TF ÷ 5) on other timeframes. On non-standard chart types and on seconds timeframes that scaling is skipped and your raw value is used as-is.
Anything else needs its own figure, because a step measured in "points" only means something relative to how that instrument is quoted. MCX gold is the trap worth naming: it prices in rupees per 10 grams rather than dollars per ounce, so the spot figure above does not carry across to it. If you want the manual step for a particular symbol, message me on Telegram with the symbol and the timeframe you trade and I'll send you the number. Or just leave it on Auto, which is why Auto is the default.
Five things, each independently useful, none of them clutter. The indicator sits in the main pane on ordinary candles — no special chart type, no second window.
A single stepped line, green in an uptrend and red in a downtrend, offset from the internal ladder by the Trail Offset you choose. Many traders use it as a trailing reference for stops.
A soft fill between price and the line, so direction reads at a glance without you having to find the line first.
Printed at the bar that flipped the trend, on confirmed closes only. A marker that prints stays put.
A compact top-right table: current trend, which sizing mode is live, the step size in force on this timeframe, and how many bars the trend has run. Switchable off.
Optional. Paints the candles themselves by trend direction, for traders who would rather read colour than a line.
The defaults are the settings I run. Nothing here needs changing to get a usable chart — but if you want the line quieter or quicker, these are the levers, and this is the honest description of what each one does.
| Input | Default | What it does | Turn it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step Sizing | Auto (ATR) | Chooses whether the step comes from volatility or from a fixed points value. | Leave on Auto unless you want the step tied to your own level structure. |
| ATR Length | 14 | Lookback for the volatility measurement. | Shorter reacts faster to a change in volatility regime; longer is steadier. |
| ATR Multiplier | 1.0 | Step size as a multiple of ATR. The main sensitivity control. | Lower it for more and earlier flips. Raise it for a quieter line on a noisy symbol. |
| Step Size (Manual) | 8.3 | Fixed points per step, anchored to a 5-minute chart and scaled by √(TF÷5) elsewhere. | Manual mode only. The shipped 8.3 is the Nifty figure; spot gold runs at 3. Other instruments need their own — see the table under Two ways to size a step. |
| Reversal Steps | 3 | Steps of counter-move required before a flip is considered. | Raise it to sit through deeper pullbacks; lower it to turn earlier. |
| Flip Confirmation | 2 | Consecutive closes beyond the reversal level before the trend flips. 1 disables the filter. | Raise it in sideways markets to cut single-bar whipsaws; lower it for faster turns. |
| Trail Offset | 2.1 | Distance of the drawn line from the internal ladder, in steps. Affects where the line sits, not when it flips. | Tighten or loosen the line relative to price. |
| Color Bars by Trend | off | Paints candles green or red by trend direction. | On if you want direction readable without looking at the line. |
| Show Info Dashboard | on | Top-right table: trend, sizing mode, live step, bars in trend. | Off to free up chart space. |
Starting points, not recommendations: for a faster line on intraday charts try a lower ATR Multiplier and leave confirmation at 2; for swing charts a higher multiplier with Reversal Steps at 3 keeps you in longer. Test any change on your own symbols and timeframes during the trial before relying on it.
Because the step is derived from the symbol's own volatility, there is no list of "supported" instruments and no per-market build. A sample of what subscribers actually run it on:
The indicator does not need configuring per market. Markets themselves still differ, though, in ways worth knowing before you read a signal — so here is what matters on the three that generate the most questions.
"Gold" is three different instruments in India, and they do not move identically. Spot XAUUSD is over-the-counter dollar gold quoted per troy ounce, trading around the clock from Monday morning in Asia to Friday evening in New York — no expiry, no rollover, and the cleanest expression of the global trend. MCX gold is rupee-denominated futures in sizes from Gold Petal (1 g) up through Gold Guinea, Gold Mini and the full 1 kg contract, trading from 9:00 AM to roughly 11:30 PM IST in winter and 11:55 PM in summer. COMEX GC is the CME's 100-ounce contract that sets the global reference price.
The distinction that catches most Indian traders: MCX gold is not a pure gold position. Its price embeds the USD/INR exchange rate and import duty on top of the dollar gold price. A flat night in dollar gold can still print a directional move on MCX if the rupee moved, and a genuine dollar-gold trend can be muted — occasionally even reversed — once translated into rupees. If Trend Pro disagrees between your MCX and XAUUSD charts, currency is usually the reason, neither chart is wrong, and the one to act on is the one you actually hold a position in.
Gold's liveliest stretch is the London–New York overlap, roughly 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM IST, when both major centres are open and US data lands. Asian-morning gold is typically thin and range-bound — precisely the conditions the confirmation filter exists for. On a continuous MCX chart a contract roll appears as a price adjustment, which the engine treats as price action like any other; if you trade a specific expiry, chart that expiry rather than the continuous series.
They gap, because they sleep. The cash session runs 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST with a pre-open auction from 9:00. The index is shut for roughly seventeen hours while the rest of the world trades, so overnight news arrives all at once as a gap at the open rather than as a move you can follow. No indicator can signal inside a gap, because no price traded there — on a heavy gap day a significant part of the move is complete before any bar has closed.
Two expiry pressure points a week, not one. Nifty 50 weekly options have expired on Tuesday since 1 September 2025, and Sensex weeklies on Thursday since early that same month — the two halves of a SEBI-directed reshuffle to stop everything landing on one crowded day. Monthly contracts expire on the last Tuesday and last Thursday respectively. Expiry sessions bring accelerated time decay, IV crush and strike-pinning, which produces choppy, mean-reverting action rather than clean trend. The engine does not read a calendar, so a signal printing into Thursday afternoon on the Sensex deserves more scepticism than the same signal on a Monday.
Concentration explains most divergence. The Sensex holds 30 constituents against the Nifty's 50, and free-float weighting concentrates real influence in the largest handful of names either way. A single heavyweight reporting results can drag an index somewhere its other constituents aren't going. Where the two indices disagree intraday, it is usually a heavyweight rather than a market-wide move — which is useful information in itself. One structural note if your routine is older than late 2024: since SEBI's circular took effect on 20 November 2024 each exchange offers weeklies on only one benchmark, so Bank Nifty, FinNifty and Midcap Select are monthly-only products now. Trend Pro still runs on all of them; their weekly-expiry behaviour simply no longer exists.
Crypto is the easiest case and the best demonstration of why ATR sizing matters: it never closes, so there are no gaps and no session edges, but its volatility regime shifts enormously. A step that suited Bitcoin in a quiet range is far too tight in an expansion — in Auto mode that adjustment happens without you touching anything, which is exactly what a fixed-points step cannot do.
Single stocks behave like indices but more so: they gap on earnings and news, and a thin mid-cap can move on flow alone. Currency pairs are the quietest thing you can chart, so expect the line to sit still for long stretches — that is the engine working, not failing. Commodities like crude and natural gas sit at the other extreme, with inventory-day moves that can cover several steps in one bar.
Across all of them the guidance is the same: in Auto mode the ATR Multiplier is the dial that decides how much noise you tolerate, and the right value is a matter of your timeframe and your risk rather than of the instrument. Walk it up and down on the charts you actually trade during the trial — you will find your preference inside an hour. And if you would rather run Manual on a specific symbol, message me and I'll give you the step size for it.
Trend Pro is published as an invite-only script on TradingView. The code never leaves TradingView's servers; access is tied to your username.
Pay ₹500 to my UPI ID, or message me on Telegram for a free 3-day trial. Either way, include your exact TradingView username.
I add your username to the script's access list — usually within a few hours. You'll find Trend Pro under Invite-only scripts in your indicator menu.
Trend Pro sits on your chart marking trend changes clearly and quietly, on whatever you trade. When to enter, exit, size and manage risk stays entirely your call.
Trend Pro publishes two named alert conditions — one per direction — so you create two alerts. This is the first thing to do after you get access.
Open the alert dialog, set Condition to Trend Pro, then choose Trend Flip Up from the second dropdown. Set the trigger to Once Per Bar Close and tick Notify in app.
Repeat, choosing Trend Flip Down. Two alerts, one per direction — there is no single condition that covers both, so an alert set to anything else will not fire.
Both notifications arrive through the TradingView mobile app with the ticker and timeframe. Because the conditions are evaluated on confirmed closes, an alert never fires on a flip that then un-flips.
No tiers, no per-instrument pricing, no add-ons. Renewal extends your access each month; there is nothing to cancel, because nothing auto-renews.
No. The Up and Down markers and both alerts are evaluated on confirmed bar closes only, so a marker that prints stays exactly where it printed and chart history never changes. To be precise about the rest: the trend line, the shading and the bar colours do track the bar that is still forming, and settle when it closes. That is normal for any trailing indicator, and it is why the markers are gated on the close rather than on the tick.
Gold Trend Pro, Nifty Trend Pro and Sensex Trend Pro have been replaced by a single script, Trend Pro, which covers every market at once. The reason is technical rather than commercial: with step size now derived from each symbol's own Average True Range, a separate build per instrument no longer does anything a shared one can't. Existing subscribers are moved onto the new script's access list — if you had access before and can't see Trend Pro in your invite-only list, message me on Telegram and I'll sort it out the same day.
Any symbol with price data on TradingView, on ordinary candle charts. In Auto mode the step is derived from that symbol's own volatility, so gold, indices, single stocks, futures, currencies and crypto are all sized sensibly with no configuration. There is no supported-instruments list to check against, because there is nothing instrument-specific left in the script.
Create two alerts, one per direction. In the alert dialog set Condition to Trend Pro, then pick Trend Flip Up from the second dropdown; set the trigger to Once Per Bar Close and enable Notify in app. Repeat for Trend Flip Down. There is no single condition that covers both directions, so two alerts is the correct setup rather than a workaround.
Auto, unless you have a specific reason not to. Auto is what makes the indicator portable across symbols and timeframes, and it adjusts on its own when a market gets quieter or wilder. Manual exists for traders who want the ladder anchored to a fixed points structure they already work with — but you then have to set that value per instrument. The default of 8.3 is the Nifty 50 figure, and spot gold runs at 3; both are points on a 5-minute chart, and neither transfers to an instrument quoted on a different scale.
The controlling input is the ATR Multiplier: lower gives a tighter, faster line with more flips, higher gives a quieter line that stays with a trend longer. Reversal Steps and Flip Confirmation then decide how much noise you tolerate before turning. Rather than publish a table of numbers that would be guesswork for your instruments and your risk, I'd suggest using the trial to walk the multiplier up and down on the charts you actually trade — you'll find your preference inside an hour, and it will fit you better than my preference would. If you want a starting point for one specific symbol, message me on Telegram with the symbol and timeframe and I'll tell you what I run on it.
It runs, but read it with care. The engine takes whatever series TradingView feeds it, and synthetic candle types change what a "close" means, which is the input the whole ladder is built on. There is also one concrete difference: on non-standard chart types and seconds timeframes, Manual step sizing skips its timeframe scaling and uses your raw points value directly. Auto mode is unaffected. My own charts are ordinary candles and that's what I'd recommend.

There's nothing to cancel. Payment is a manual UPI transfer each month, so it never auto-renews — just stop paying and your access lapses at the end of the period you've already paid for. No forms, no questions.
No tool can promise that, and you should be wary of any that does. Trend Pro is a charting instrument that identifies trend changes clearly and quietly; entries, exits, risk and position sizing remain your decisions. Test it on your own symbols and timeframes during the trial before relying on it.
