The Trend Navigator is a background analytics cloud that acts as your macro-trend compass. It visualizes the dominant market structure and serves as dynamic Support and Resistance. By determining the overall market bias, it helps you filter out low-probability signals and focus on trades that align with the heavy flow of capital. Image

Visual Components

The Navigator works primarily in the background to keep your chart clean, providing context without clutter.

​
The Navigator Cloud

  • Bullish Cloud (Green Zone): When the cloud is Bullish Color and below price, the macro-trend is Bullish. This zone acts as dynamic Support. Price pulling back into a Green cloud often presents a “buy the dip” opportunity.
  • Bearish Cloud (Purple/Red Zone): When the cloud is Bearish Color and above price, the macro-trend is Bearish. This zone acts as dynamic Resistance. Price rallying into a Red cloud often presents a “sell the rip” opportunity.

​
The Trend Flip Star (✪)

When the Navigator confirms a major shift in market dominance, it plots a small Star Icon (✪) on the cloud edge.
  • Star on Bottom: Confirmed shift to a Bullish Macro-Trend.
  • Star on Top: Confirmed shift to a Bearish Macro-Trend.

Optimization & Tuning

Just like the main Trend Engine, the Navigator features full customization controls found in the “Trend Navigator” settings group. Enabled by default, this allows the Synapse Engine to automatically calculate the optimal lookback periods based on a selected profile:
  1. Fast: Best for lower timeframes (1m - 15m) where trends shift rapidly.
  2. Medium: The standard setting for hourly and 4H charts.
  3. Slow: A heavy filter designed for Daily/Weekly charts or for traders who want to remain in a trend for days at a time.

​
Manual Speed

For granular control, disable Auto-Tuning and use the Manual Speed (1-100) slider.
  • Lower Values: Tighter cloud, faster reaction, frequent flips.
  • Higher Values: Wider cloud, slower reaction, fewer flips.
