Indicator: Trend Trigger Factor by LazyBear

lazybear custom indicators trend momentumoscillator

Introduced by M.H.Pee, Trend Trigger Factor is designed to keep the trader trading with the trend.

System rules according to the developer:
* If the 15-day TTF is above 100 (indicating an uptrend), you will want to be in long positions.
* If the 15-day TTF is below -100, you will want to be short.
* If it is between -100 and 100, you should remain with the current position.
