FAQ
What is the “secret formula” behind the Trend Magic indicator?
While the exact calculations are proprietary, the indicator primarily uses a combination of the CCI to detect momentum shifts and the ATR to account for market volatility.
This allows the line to stay close to the price while filtering out minor fluctuations that do not represent a true trend change.
Is Trend Magic suitable for scalping on the M1 timeframe?
It can be used for scalping, but like most trend-following tools, it performs much better on the M5 or M15 timeframes.
On the M1 chart, price noise can lead to more frequent color changes, so it is best to use a higher timeframe filter to confirm the direction.
Can I use the Trend Magic line as a trailing stop?
Yes, many professional traders use the Trend Magic line for exactly this purpose.
As the trend develops, the line will move along with the price.
By moving your stop loss to follow the line, you can protect your capital and stay in the trade for the maximum possible gain.
