- Updated the name and description of the Hilbert Trendline (HTIT) to "Ehlers Hilbert Transform Instantaneous Trend (HTIT)".
- Changed the name and description of the MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) to "Ehlers MESA Adaptive Moving Average".
- Modified the Center of Gravity (CG) indicator to "Ehlers Center of Gravity (CG)".
- Renamed the Detrended Synthetic Price (DSP) to "Ehlers Detrended Synthetic Price (DSP)".
- Updated the Autocorrelation Periodogram (EACP) to "Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram (EACP)".
- Changed the Homodyne Discriminator (HOMOD) to "Ehlers Homodyne Discriminator (HOMOD)".
- Updated the Hilbert Transform Dominant Cycle Period and Phase indicators to include "Ehlers" in their names.
- Renamed the Hilbert Transform Phasor Components to "Ehlers Hilbert Transform Phasor Components (HT_PHASOR)".
- Updated the SineWave indicator to "Ehlers Hilbert Transform SineWave (HT_SINE)".
- Changed the Phasor Analysis indicator to "Ehlers Hilbert Transform Phasor Components (HT_PHASOR)".
- Updated the SSF-Based Detrended Synthetic Price to "Ehlers SSF Detrended Synthetic Price (SSFDSP)".
- Renamed the Ultimate Channel to "Ehlers Ultimate Channel (UCHANNEL)".
- Added new indicators: Moving Average Variable Period (MAVP), Ehlers Predictive Moving Average (PMA), Ehlers Reverse EMA (REVERSEEMA), and Ehlers Trendflex Indicator (TRENDFLEX).
- Updated various SVG badges to reflect changes in classes, comments, source files, lines of code, methods, and public types.

Dynamics

"The trend is your friend, but only if you know its strength." Unknown

Dynamics indicators measure trend strength, speed, and direction. Unlike momentum indicators that measure rate of change, dynamics indicators answer: "Is there a trend, and how strong is it?" Critical for filtering signals and avoiding whipsaws in ranging markets.

Indicators

Indicator Full Name Description
ADX Average Directional Index Trend strength 0-100. Direction-agnostic. <20 weak, >40 strong.
ADXR Average Directional Movement Rating Smoothed ADX. Average of current and N-period ago ADX.
ALLIGATOR Williams Alligator Three SMAs (Jaw, Teeth, Lips). Spread indicates trend strength.
AMAT Archer Moving Averages Trends Multiple EMA alignment. Requires fast/slow EMA plus directional confirmation.
AROON Aroon Time since high/low. Aroon Up/Down measure recency of extremes.
AROONOSC Aroon Oscillator Aroon Up minus Aroon Down. Single line: +100 to -100.
CHOP Choppiness Index Trendiness measure. High values = choppy. Low = trending.
DMX Jurik DMX Smoothed bipolar DMI using Jurik smoothing. Low noise.
DX Directional Movement Index Raw directional strength. Unsmoothed ADX component.
HT_TRENDMODE Ehlers Hilbert Transform Trend vs Cycle Mode Ehlers Hilbert Transform. Binary trend/cycle mode detection.
ICHIMOKU Ichimoku Cloud Five-line system. Cloud defines support/resistance zones.
IMI Intraday Momentum Index RSI variant using open-close range. Intraday overbought/oversold.
IMPULSE Elder Impulse System EMA + MACD histogram alignment. Color-coded trend/momentum filter.
QSTICK Qstick MA of (Close - Open). Positive = buying pressure.
SUPER SuperTrend ATR-based trailing stop. Flips on breakout. Color-coded direction.
TTM_TREND TTM Trend Fast 6-period EMA. Color-coded trend from John Carter.
TTM_SQUEEZE TTM Squeeze BB inside KC squeeze detection with linear regression momentum. John Carter.
VORTEX Vortex Indicator VI+ and VI- measure positive/negative trend movement.
