This indicator is the converted Metatrader 5 version of the TradingView indicator "ATR Based Trendlines - JD" by Duyck.
This indicator works by automatically and continuously drawing trendlines not based exclusively on price, but also based on the volatility perceived by the ATR. So, the angle of the trendlines is determined by (a percentage of) the ATR.
The angle of the trendlines follows the change in price, dictated by the ATR at the moment where the pivot point is detected. The ATR percentage determines if the trendline follows the rate of change of the ATR or a fraction (value < 100) or a multiple (value > 100) of that.

How to trade using this indicator:
The trading strategy combines two indicators created by me to confirm the trade entries, the RC ATR Based Trendlines and the RC ATR Volatility Hedge Zones. The key principle is that both indicators must align for a trade to be initiated. Here are the steps:
-
Trendline Detection: The RC ATR Based Trendlines identify key bullish or bearish trendlines based on ATR calculations, indicating potential price movements and reflecting broader market trends with accuracy.
-
Confirmation via Volatility Hedge Zones: Once a trendline forms, the RC ATR Volatility Hedge Zones must confirm it.
- For a bullish trendline, a bullish signal should appear above the trendline.
- For a bearish trendline, a bearish signal should appear below it. This ensures the trend and volatility are aligned.
-
Trade Execution: Only open a trade after both the trendline signal and confirmation from the Volatility Hedge Zones are received, filtering out false signals and improving trade success probability.
