TCM Trend Indicator

Marks trend setups on closed candles and draws a ready-made trade plan for the latest one: entry, stop-loss and take-profit at the risk-to-reward you choose. You decide whether to take it.

What it does

A clear chart, and a plan for each setup

The detection rules are fixed inside the indicator and kept private. What you control is how the plan is drawn and how you're alerted.

  • Arrows on closed candles only

    An arrow appears once its candle has closed and never moves or disappears afterwards.

  • Trade plan lines

    Entry, stop-loss and take-profit for the latest setup, at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 or a custom reward multiple.

  • Alerts that don't nag

    A pop-up and an optional push to the MetaTrader phone app, once per new setup.

  • Bullish and bearish wording

    The chart shows setups and levels, never "buy now" instructions.

Try it

Check the arithmetic behind a plan

The indicator draws these levels for you. This shows how the reward multiple and your costs change the win rate a plan needs.
