How to read this tool
Trend Detector is the current-trend-health layer of the TradingSimuLab framework. It focuses on trend structure, exhaustion, direction context, and overextension rather than producing a standalone buy or sell recommendation.
A stronger read usually combines visible trend quality with controlled exhaustion. A more fragile read can appear when the move has structure but looks stretched, aging, or vulnerable to reversal.
Key metrics
| Metric | Plain-English meaning | Careful interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Trend strength | Structural strength of the current move. | Higher values suggest more directional structure, not a guaranteed continuation. |
| Exhaustion risk | Whether the move appears stretched or aging. | High exhaustion can coexist with a strong trend. |
| Direction context | Whether the current structure leans bullish, bearish, or mixed. | Use with Timing Model and Risk Simulation before acting on it. |
| Overextension | Stretch versus the asset's recent normal range. | Useful for identifying fragile moves, not for predicting exact reversals. |
FAQ
What does Trend Detector measure?
Trend Detector reviews trend strength, direction context, overextension, exhaustion risk, and reversal-risk conditions.
Is a strong trend always bullish?
No. A strong trend can also be mature or overextended, so exhaustion and reversal-risk context matter.
How should exhaustion risk be read?
Exhaustion risk helps identify when a move may be stretched, crowded, or vulnerable to reversal or consolidation.
How is it different from Trend Persistence?
Trend Detector evaluates current trend strength and risk, while Trend Persistence evaluates how steady and durable the move has been.
Can Trend Detector be used alone?
It is better used with Timing Model, Trend Persistence, Macro Model, and Risk Simulation for a fuller research view.
