Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends - Performance & Sentiment Indicator (TFT)

The Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends (TFT) is a powerful TradingView indicator that gives traders a comprehensive view of market trends across multiple timeframes while incorporating sentiment analysis using the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It combines performance metrics, sentiment signals, and visual aids into a single tool, making it indispensable for traders seeking a deeper understanding of market dynamics.

Purpose

The TFT indicator is designed to help traders assess an asset's performance over various timeframes while simultaneously evaluating market sentiment. By analyzing price movements from one week to one year, combined with RSI sentiment signals, TFT enables informed trading decisions based on both historical performance and current market conditions.

Key Features

1. Multi-Timeframe Performance Analysis

TFT provides a layered view of price trends across different timeframes:

• Timeframes Analyzed:

  • 7 days (1 week): Short-term performance.

  • 14 days (2 weeks): Momentum over a slightly longer period.

  • 30 days (1 month): Medium-term trend evaluation.

  • 180 days (6 months): Intermediate performance trends.

  • 365 days (1 year): Long-term direction and health.

• Percentage Change Calculation:
  Compares the current closing price with the price at the start of each timeframe to identify consistent trends or potential reversals.

2. Sentiment Analysis Using RSI

• RSI (Relative Strength Index): Utilizes a standard 14-period lookback to measure momentum.

• RSI Smoothing with EMA: Applies a 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to reduce noise and enhance reliability:

  • Buy Signal: Triggered when the smoothed RSI crosses above 50, signaling bullish sentiment.

  • Sell Signal: Triggered when the smoothed RSI crosses below 50, signaling bearish sentiment.

  • Neutral Signal: Triggered when RSI equals 50, indicating balanced conditions.

3. Visual Signal Generation

• Signal Plots: Buy, sell, and neutral signals are visually marked on the chart with green, red, and yellow icons.

• First Occurrence Focus: Only the first occurrence of each signal type is triggered to avoid excessive alerts.

4. Customizable Performance & Sentiment Table

• Dynamic Table: Displays percentage changes across all timeframes in a customizable format.

• Color-Coded Text: Green for positive changes and red for negative changes, enabling quick trend evaluation.

• Adjustable Font Size: Ensures readability based on user preferences.

5. Full Flexibility and Customization

• Adjustable Lookback Periods: Adapt performance analysis to fit specific markets or strategies.
