The Color Filter Trend Strategy is a simple yet powerful visual strategy based on a color filter indicator. The line acts as a smoothed trend filter with a color gradient from red (downtrend) to green (uptrend). Buy/sell signals are generated only when the line shows a clear trend change through color and direction changes.

Setup

Platform: TradingView
Timeframe: 15 minutes or higher
Markets: Any (Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, etc.)

Indicators Used:

• Color Gradient Line Filter: A custom smoothed line that shifts color:

  • Red shades = Bearish pressure

    Green shades = Bullish momentum

    Yellow/Orange = Transition phase or weaker signals

  Colored Candlesticks: For additional trend visualization (green = bullish, red = bearish)

Buy Entry Rules

Enter a Buy trade when the following conditions are met:

1. The filter line starts curving upward

2. The line color shifts from red/orange to green shades

3. A BUY label appears below the candle

The green color and upward slope indicate increasing bullish momentum.

Sell Entry Rules

Enter a Sell trade when the following conditions are met:

1. The filter line starts curving downward

2. The line color shifts from green/yellow to red shades

3. A SELL label appears above the candle

The red color and downward slope indicate growing bearish strength.

Aggressive mode only TF 30 and higher.

Another way to interpret this indicator:

Buy

Price close above the line with a green candlestick (buy).

Sell

Price close below the line with a red candlestick (sell).

Exit Rules

For Buy Trades:

• Exit when a SELL label appears

  Or when the filter line flattens or turns downward and its color fades to orange/red

For Sell Trades:

• Exit when a BUY label appears

  Or when the filter line flattens or curves upward and its color shifts to green

Conclusion

The Color Filter Trend Strategy is ideal for traders who want a clean, visual way to follow trends. By relying on both the direction and color of the filter line, traders can avoid false signals during sideways markets and trade only when momentum is aligned.

It works best on timeframes of 15 minutes or higher and can be applied to any trading instrument. No ADX or MACD is visible on the chart — all decisions are based on the dynamic filter line and the BUY/SELL labels.

INDICATORS DESCRIPTION

The indicators used were sub-divided into two different types, they are:

a.) Main Chart Indicators

b.) Expert Indictors

ZONE IDENTIFIER

Zone identifier means ability of a trader to determine the type of zone market is moving and for the

sake of this strategy we make use of 50 exponential Moving Averages.

In this Strategy we consider two different types of Zones.

a.) Buy Zone

b.) Sell Zone

BUY ZONE

We have Buy Zone whenever we have price above 50 E.M.A, so after this all we will be

thinking of this as a Buy signal only

SELL ZONE

We have sell Zone whenever we have price below 50 E.M.A, so after this all we will be thinking of

this as sell signal only

BASIC RULES FOR ENTERING TRADES

Buy Entry

The following conditions must meet before placing a buy trade and they are listed below:

• Price must have closed above 50 E.M.A

• WEMA must generate an ARROW for BUY

• WTM must be blue

• WMI BLUE line must crossed above 50 level

• Wes Tbar confirms & WT.Detector both must turn blue at the close of candle above 50 EMA.

SELL ENTRY

Below are conditions to enter a sell trades, they are:

• Price must have closed below 50 E.M.A

• WEMA must generate an ARROW for SELL.

• WTM must be RED

• WMI BLUE line must crossed below 50 level

• Wes Tbar confirms & WT.Detector both must turn RED at the close of candle above 50 E.M.A.

BASIC RULES FOR EXIT

• Exit One: Placing of protective stop loss

• Exit Two: Placing of take profit

• Exit Three: Strategy exit

EXIT ONE – Placing of protective Stop Loss

Protective stop loss is the % of loss you want to afford by a trade that you open and in other terms it’s

called real stop loss or account protector.

This is done by placing a stop loss, we do this by adding 10-15pips to the low of candlestick that cross

the 50EMA up or down depending on the type of market directions.

This typical diagram represent a stop loss placing in a buy market, if you notice you will see that stop

loss is just placed 20pips below 50 EMA which is later the equivalent to 35pips. Here what we are

saying is that a protective stop loss is 35pips that do not mean that you cannot exit your trade before

your protective stop loss is hit.Generally, stop loss should be placed 20-30pips below 50EMA.

EXIT TWO – Placing of Take Profit

This is the most interesting part of the strategy; I like the Strategy because it supports the Rule of

trading that says:

“CUT LOSS SHORT, LEAVE PROFIT TO RUN”.

• This strategy gives the Trader the ability to hold trade over a period of time or even days if market is

trending.

• Short time trader: take profit of 50pips

Trendriders people like us use the following ways to take profit, they are described below:

• Firstly, we moved our stop loss to breakeven after gaining 50pips then after that I’m in the condition

of nothing to loose, then we will focus our attention and be looking at WTF(WESLAD TREND

FOLLOWER).

• I will only close my trade if price closed below WTF if I’m in uptrend or closed above it if I’m in

downtrend.

• I will only close my trade if I see a counter signal from WEMA

EXIT THREE - Strategy Exit

This exit three is one of the most important aspects of the strategy because it gave you a signal of what

will happen in the market, this strategy doesn’t´ usual hit a stop loss if the user has a good knowledge

of it, when buying. The strategy may give a buy exit signal which means that you should close your

buy trade immediately and wait for the next action such as exit signals are showen with the following indicators:

1.) WTF Weslad trend follower indicator

2.) WEI Weslad exit indicator

3.) WMI Weslad momentum indicator

SUMMARY ON THEIR USAGE

• We can exit our trade whenever price close below WTF if we are in buying zone and if price

closes above WTF if we are in sell Zone.

• We can exit our trade whenever WEI generate counter trend arrow as a result of blue lines

crossing red line in any trade direction.

• WMI is another tool that we can exit our trade based on whenever it crossed above its 50 line to

give counter trade signal.
