Power Trend Detector Pro [LevelUp]
A Power Trend signals that a stronger-than-usual market uptrend is underway. The concept comes from Investor's Business Daily (IBD), specifically the Market School program developed to reflect the trading principles of IBD founder William O'Neil.
The rules defining a Power Trend were established by Mike Webster, Justin Nielsen, and Charles Harris during their work with O'Neil at IBD. They meticulously studied major uptrends, identifying common technical characteristics across the most powerful market advances. From that research came a precise set of rules marking when a Power Trend begins and ends.
For traders, recognizing when a Power Trend is active provides valuable context for position sizing and risk management. Simply put, it helps you decide when to be more aggressive — or more cautious — with your trades.
By definition, a Power Trend is calculated using a major index such as the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) as its data source. This indicator extends that concept by allowing any security to serve as the data source — meaning the same precise rules that define a Power Trend in the broader market can now be applied directly to any stock, ETF, crypto, index, etc. The result is a quantifiable signal for identifying when any security is in a strong, sustained uptrend.
🔹—— What Starts A Power Trend? ——🔹
▪ Low is above the 21-EMA for at least 10 days.
▪ 21-EMA is above the 50-SMA for at least five days.
▪ 50-SMA is in an uptrend.
▪ Close up for the day (close >= open).
🔹—— What Ends A Power Trend? ——🔹
▪ 21-EMA crosses under 50-SMA.
▪ Close 10% below recent high and below the 50-SMA.
🔹—— Show Power Trend Status ——🔹
With this indicator there are three ways to highlight Power Trends, each is shown in the chart that follows:
For traders who prefer a clean chart, the stoplight display is a simple and effective option. Rather than overlaying additional lines or labels, it communicates Power Trend status through a single colored indicator — green, yellow, or gray.
▪ Green - Power Trend is active.
▪ Yellow - Power Trend is active, however, price is below the 50-SMA, signaling a potential weakening of the trend.
▪ Gray - Power Trend is off.
🔹—— Progress Towards New Power Trend ——🔹
One unique feature of the Power Trend indicator is that you can track the progress towards the start of a new Power Trend. See the chart below for more details.
🔹—— Additional Examples Of Power Trends ——🔹
🔹—— Alerts On Start & End Of A Power Trend ——🔹

Alerts can be set on any symbol — whether you are monitoring the Nasdaq Composite for broader market conditions or tracking an individual stock or ETF for a potential trading signal.

• Box around Power Trend.
• Stoplight with configurable location.
