How know if the trendline is bullish or bearish?

[aekzof]

Hello
In the trendline indicator that comes with ninjatrader and at Autotrendline https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...totrendline-2/
Created By NinjaTrader_Paul
with its Autotrendline indicator we can recover the signal to develop a strategy.
what I would like to know if there is a solution to know if the trend is bullish or bearish? to use it in a strategy
Thanks in advance

Hello aekzof,

Thats not specifically something that is exposed on the indicators however you could modify either indicator to expose a value. In the auto trendline it uses a ray which takes two prices, you could check if the second price is greater/lesser than the first to get an idea of the rays projection which would be up or down. Based on that you could plot a value or expose a value for the strategy.

In the linked indicator it has the following line which would likely be a place where you could do that type of check:

double startBarPrice = Low[upTrendStartBarsAgo];
double endBarPrice = Low[upTrendEndBarsAgo];

Another alternative is to just expose a value based on which drawing object the indicator draws, it has a up trend and down trend ray with different tag names. It has two sections so that would be another area where you could expose a value based on which has been drawn.

Hello
it's very advanced for me
I think to retrieve a value from an indicator to use it in a strategy you need a plot
and to add a plot to this indicator you have to be like NinjaTrader_Paul
Thank you

Hi
I found a solution, it was in the strategy to detect the trend on the graph and according to the tag or coordinates we can know its state.
on the other hand I think that there is an error the in the tag it is always displays the opposite.
