Background Trend Follower by exp3rts
The Background Trend Follower indicator visually highlights the market’s daily directional bias using subtle background colors. It calculates the price change from the daily open and shades the chart background according to the current intraday momentum.
🟢 Green background → Price is significantly above the daily open (strong bullish trend)
🔴 Red background → Price is significantly below the daily open (strong bearish trend)
🟡 Yellow background → Price is trading near the daily open (neutral or consolidating phase)
Perfect for traders who want a quick visual sense of intraday bias — bullish, bearish, or neutral — without cluttering the chart with extra indicators.
🟢 Green background → Price is significantly above the daily open (strong bullish trend)

- The script automatically detects each new trading day.
- It records the opening price at the start of the day.
- As the session progresses, it continuously measures how far the current price has moved from that open.
- When the move exceeds ±50 points (custom threshold), the background color adapts to reflect the trend strength.
Perfect for traders who want a quick visual sense of intraday bias — bullish, bearish, or neutral — without cluttering the chart with extra indicators.
