A+ Trend Indicator | Flow Algo
# A+ Trend Indicator | Flow Algo — User Guide
The A+ Trend Indicator combines EMA trend structure and RSI momentum to measure bullish or bearish market strength using a **6-point scoring system**.
This indicator does not guarantee profitable trades. It should be used together with support and resistance levels, price action, volume analysis, and proper risk management.
## A+ BUY Signal
A green **A+ BUY** label appears when most bullish conditions are confirmed.
The bullish score evaluates the following conditions:
* Price is above the fast EMA.
* The fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
* The slow EMA is above the trend EMA.
* Price is above the trend EMA.
* RSI is above the 50 level.
* RSI is between the overbought and oversold levels.
With the default settings, an A+ BUY zone begins when at least **5 out of 6 conditions** are met.
For a higher-quality BUY setup:
* The EMA lines should be sloping upward.
* Price should not be directly below a major resistance level.
* The signal candle should be strong and preferably supported by high volume.
* The trade should be evaluated after the candle closes.
## A+ SELL Signal
A red **A+ SELL** label appears when most bearish conditions are confirmed.
The bearish score evaluates the following conditions:
* Price is below the fast EMA.
* The fast EMA is below the slow EMA.
* The slow EMA is below the trend EMA.
* Price is below the trend EMA.
* RSI is below the 50 level.
* RSI is between the overbought and oversold levels.
For a higher-quality SELL setup:
* The EMA lines should be sloping downward.
* Price should not be directly above a major support level.
* The signal candle should show strong selling pressure.
* The signal should be evaluated after the candle closes.
## Exit Signals
An orange **BUY EXIT** label appears when the bullish A+ conditions are no longer valid.
An orange **SELL EXIT** label appears when the bearish A+ conditions are no longer valid.
An exit label does not always mean that the trend has completely reversed. It indicates that trend strength has weakened or that the score has fallen below the selected minimum level.
## Candle and Background Colors
* **Green candles and green background:** Strong bullish trend zone.
* **Red candles and red background:** Strong bearish trend zone.
* **Gray candles:** Weak, neutral, or uncertain market conditions.
## EMA Lines
* **Blue line:** Fast EMA, default period 9.
* **Orange line:** Slow EMA, default period 21.
* **Purple line:** Main trend EMA, default period 50.
EMA structure:
* Fast EMA > Slow EMA > Trend EMA: Bullish trend structure.
* Fast EMA < Slow EMA < Trend EMA: Bearish trend structure.
* When the EMA lines are crossing frequently or moving close together, the market may be ranging or uncertain.
## Minimum A+ Score
* **4/6:** Produces more signals, but signal quality may be lower.
* **5/6:** Recommended default setting for balanced use.
* **6/6:** Produces fewer but more selective signals.
On lower timeframes, a 6/6 score may help reduce false signals.
## Recommended Timeframes
* **5 minutes:** Suitable for scalping, but false signals may increase.
* **15 minutes:** A balanced choice for intraday trading.
* **30 minutes:** May produce fewer but cleaner signals.
* **1 hour:** Suitable for swing trading and general trend analysis.
* **4 hours:** Suitable for longer-term trend analysis.
## Alert Setup
When creating an alert in PulseWire, you can select one of the following conditions:
* A+ BUY Signal
* A+ SELL Signal
* A+ BUY Exit
* A+ SELL Exit
Setting the alert frequency to **Once Per Bar Close** may help reduce temporary signals that appear before the candle closes.
## Risk Management
A stop-loss level should always be used when entering a trade.
For BUY trades, the stop-loss may be placed:
* Below the most recent swing low,
* Below a support zone,
* Or at an ATR-based distance.
For SELL trades, the stop-loss may be placed:
* Above the most recent swing high,
* Above a resistance zone,
* Or at an ATR-based distance.
It is generally recommended to risk only a small percentage of the account balance on a single trade.
