Overview

TPB (Trend Pullback) detects entry opportunities when price pulls back within an established trend. Combines EMA crossover + ADX for trend, Bollinger Bands + Stochastic for pullback timing.

Signals: +1 (BUY in uptrend), -1 (SELL in downtrend), 0 (NO SIGNAL)

Visual Display

Separate window histogram showing continuous trend strength (0-100%):

Gray bars: No clear trend (ranging market)
Green bars: Uptrend detected (0-100% strength)
Red bars: Downtrend detected (0-100% strength)

Never empty – always shows current trend state.

How It Works

Trend Detection:

Fast EMA (default 12) vs Slow EMA (default 26)
ADX confirmation (default 25 threshold)
Green = Fast > Slow + ADX > threshold (uptrend)
Red = Fast < Slow + ADX > threshold (downtrend)

Pullback Detection:

Bollinger Bands (default 20, 2.0 std dev)
Stochastic Oscillator (default 14,3,3)
Signal fires when pullback completes and price resumes trend

Key Parameters

Trend Settings:

InpEMA_Fast: 12 (fast EMA period)
InpEMA_Slow: 26 (slow EMA period)
InpADX_Period: 14 (ADX calculation)
InpADX_Threshold: 25 (min ADX for trend)

Pullback Settings:

InpBB_Period: 20 (Bollinger period)
InpBB_Deviation: 2.0 (standard deviations)
InpStoch_K: 14 (Stochastic %K)

Signal Interpretation

BUY Signal (+1):

Uptrend confirmed (green bars, ADX > threshold)
Price pulled back to support
Stochastic hooked up from oversold
Resume uptrend entry point

SELL Signal (-1):

Downtrend confirmed (red bars, ADX > threshold)
Price pulled back to resistance
Stochastic hooked down from overbought
Resume downtrend entry point

NO SIGNAL (0):

No trend (ADX < threshold)
Trend present but no pullback yet
Pullback incomplete

Best Practices

Wait for trend: Don’t trade pullbacks in ranging markets (gray bars)
Confirm ADX: Higher ADX = stronger trend = better pullback trades
Use with structure: Combine with LWSWING for structure confirmation
Multiple timeframes: Check higher TF trend aligns with signal
Risk management: Use stops below/above recent swing points
