VWF Trend
VWF Trend – Fear-Based Trend Detection
VWF Trend is a price-overlay indicator designed to detect trend direction and strength using a volatility-based approach derived from Williams Vix Fix (WVF).
Unlike classic momentum indicators, VWF Trend focuses on fear and pressure zones and projects them directly onto the price chart for intuitive trend reading.
Key Concept (Important)
When the VWF lines contract and stay close to each other, the trend is strong.
This contraction means:
Volatility is controlled
Price is moving with commitment
Trend continuation probability is high
When the distance between the lines expands, trend strength weakens and the market is more likely to enter consolidation or transition.
How It Works
The central VWF EMA line acts as a dynamic trend threshold
Upper and lower VWF bands define
define pressure boundaries
Price position relative to the VWF line determines trend bias
How to Read
🟢 Bullish Trend
Price stays above the VWF line
VWF bands remain tight and compressed
Indicates strong upward trend
🔴 Bearish Trend
Price stays below the VWF line
VWF bands remain tight and compressed
Indicates strong downward trend
⚠️ Weak or Transition Zone
Bands start expanding
Price oscillates around the VWF line
Trend strength is decreasing
Why VWF Trend?
Highlights trend strength visually
Helps identify early trend continuation
Filters noise during strong moves
Works well after high-volatility events
Clean and chart-friendly design
Note:
VWF Trend is best used as a trend strength and direction filter,
not as a standalone buy/sell signal.
It performs best when combined with price action, structure, or volume analysis.
