A 0-100 meter for how ONE-SIDED the market has been around its own average.
spec id: tiilength (default 60)
What does Trend intensity measure?
A 0-100 meter for how ONE-SIDED the market has been around its own average. High means price has been living above the line, not just poking above it.
How is Trend intensity calculated?
Take the 60-candle average and record, for each candle, how far above or below it price sat. Over the most recent half of the window, add up the above-amounts and the below-amounts, and express the above part as a share of the total.
Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.
How do I use Trend intensity in a bot?
In the builder, add an indicator of type tii (parameters: length, default 60). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.

- True strengthA double-smoothed momentum gauge that keeps direction but sheds noise.
- Ultimate oscillatorA 0-100 momentum meter that looks at three time horizons at once, so it is much harder to fool with a single sharp move than a one-window oscillator.
