Signal Insight

A bullish signal is generated when price breaks above the upper MAD band—indicating positive momentum and potential trend continuation to the upside.

A bearish signal occurs when price falls below the lower MAD band—signaling increased downside pressure and possible trend continuation to the downside.

Framework
The 𝓜𝓐𝓓 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 indicator identifies directional shifts by measuring price deviation from a dynamic moving average. At its core, it calculates the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of price around a user-selected moving average.

The indicator builds adaptive upper and lower bands by multiplying the MAD value above and below the moving average. When price crosses above the upper band, it triggers a bullish signal. When price crosses below the lower band, it signals bearish momentum which gives a bearish signal.

This method provides an elegant balance between volatility sensitivity and trend clarity, adapting in real-time to changing market behavior. The moving average type and band sensitivity can be tuned to fit various strategies—from scalping to swing trading.
