Market Condition Oscillator [HexaTrades]
Market Condition Oscillator classifies price action into three simple states: Bullish Trend, Bearish Trend, and Consolidation, and paints them as a color-coded histogram below your chart. It is built to answer one question at a glance: should I be trend-trading right now, or is the market just chopping sideways?
What it shows
🟢 Green histogram above zero → confirmed bullish trend. Taller bars = stronger trend.
🔴 Red histogram below zero → confirmed bearish trend. Deeper bars = stronger trend.
⚪ Gray histogram near zero → consolidation/range (no clear trend).
How it works
The indicator combines four classic, well-understood concepts so that no single signal can produce a false trend on its own:
1. ADX (trend strength): measures how strongly the market is trending. Below the threshold, the market is treated as consolidation regardless of direction.
2. DI+ / DI− (direction) : the Directional Movement pair decides whether strength is to the upside or downside.
3. EMA position + slope (confirmation) : price must be on the correct side of the EMA and the EMA must be sloping the right way. This filters out counter-trend spikes.
4. ATR & EMA-distance (range detection) : consolidation is flagged when volatility compresses or price hugs the EMA, even if ADX hasn't fully dropped yet.
A phase only changes after the condition holds for a configurable number of candles (Confirmation Bars). This is the key to removing the constant flip-flopping that plagues most trend indicators.
Trend rules
✏️ Bullish = ADX above threshold and DI+ > DI− and price above EMA and EMA rising — held for N bars.
✏️Bearish = ADX above threshold and DI− > DI+ and price below EMA and EMA falling — held for N bars.
✏️Consolidation = weak ADX, or compressed ATR, or price hugging the EMA — anything that is not a confirmed trend.
Features
- Bullish, bearish, and consolidation market phase detection.
- Separate oscillator panel for clean chart reading.
- Color-coded histogram.
- Optional histogram smoothing.
- Confirmation bars to reduce false flips.
- Phase label on the latest candle.
- Legend table for easy interpretation.
- Alert conditions for bullish, bearish, consolidation, and trend-flip events.
- Uses confirmed candle data only and does not use future references.
How to use it
- Trend traders: only take longs while the histogram is green, shorts while it is red. Stand aside on gray.
- Mean-reversion traders: the gray phase highlights range conditions where fade/scalp setups work best.
- Filter: combine with your existing entry system and ignore signals that fight the MCO color.
- Works on any market and any timeframe. For higher timeframes, consider raising the ADX threshold and Confirmation Bars.

This indicator is designed to help identify market conditions. It should be combined with price action, support and resistance, volume, and proper risk management. No indicator can guarantee profitable trades.
