Solar Wind

Why "wind"? Because a trend resembles a wind: it has both direction and strength. A trend is a trader's friend, so it's important to know the trend's direction and strength. Our Solar Wind indicator interprets all of these for you, making trend trading simple!

Solar Wind is a complete trend-trading indicator. ninZa.co researched hard to develop Solar Wind as an indicator that is purely based on ninZaATR and price action, totally not using any moving averages or smoothing in order to minimize lags.

This spectacular indicator has 2 visual plots of the best values for a trend trader, both of which are ninZaATR-based distances from the reference price:

• Trend Vector: A vector provides both direction and amplitude information. Similarly, our trend vector not only tells the trend direction (uptrend or downtrend) but also the trend strength (strong or weak). It's easy to read the trend heat!
• Trailing Stop: This plot is reserved for trailing-stop attachment purpose. You just need to attach your stop to this plot and automatically ride a massive & lasting trend to the very end. This helps you be immune from harmful emotions that often kick you out of a great trend so soon.

Here's how to read "Trend Vector":

• If the "Trend Vector" plot is flat, the trend is weak: maybe it’s experiencing a correction, or it has matured with an imminent reversal.
• If the "Trend Vector" plot heads upward, the uptrend is strong.
• If the "Trend Vector" plot heads downward, the downtrend is strong.

4 states of the markets (strong/weak uptrend, strong/weak downtrend) are displayed clearly with various visual signals to help you easily read: bar painting, plot colorization, background highlight.

The best signal of Solar Wind is PULLBACK. As you know, a trend rarely goes straight, but often retraces – which creates great opportunities for pullback trading. In Solar Wind, pullbacks are our recommended signals for entries. From our testing and experiences, the first and second pullbacks are usually the most reliable and optimal entries.

A spectacular feature of Solar Wind is trend step prints, based on the analysis of "Trend Vector" flat segments. Trend step decreases warn of trend weakness and therefore anticipate an imminent finale of a trend.
