Trend Change Detector

The trend change detector oscillator is a tool designed to help traders identify the current trend direction paired with the potential reversal zones.

The oscillator is made of multiple parts:
- The colored histogram, that displays the current long-term trend direction (long if above 0, short if below)
- The trend line, which shows the price in relation to the fair value of the current trend
- The reversal zones, which are the area that alarms the traders that the price might reverse soon after having touched them

The indicator can work with three different inputs. In the Source panel, you can choose between "Price", "Price and Volume" and "Ponderated Volume". The price input uses only the price, the price and volume use the average between the price and the ponderated volume, and the ponderated volume shows the indicator working with volume data, with formulas such as the On Balance Volume and the Accumulation-Distribution line.

This indicator can be used both for trend following technique, using the cross of the trend line with the 0-line as signals in conjunction with the bias given by the histogram, and for mean reversal technique thanks to the reversal zones that allow traders to identify potential tops and bottoms.
