Neural Trend Engine [JOAT]Neural Trend Engine - Multi-Layer Adaptive Trend Detection
Neural Trend Engine uses a multi-layer filtering approach inspired by neural network concepts. It combines multiple adaptive moving averages with proprietary momentum and volatility weighting to generate trend signals with reduced lag and improved confidence scoring.
Why This Script is Protected
This script is published as closed-source to protect the proprietary signal composition algorithm and the specific weighting methodology from unauthorized republishing. The unique combination of adaptive layer calculations, momentum normalization, and volatility integration represents original work that goes beyond standard indicator implementations.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike simple moving average crossover systems, Neural Trend Engine:
Uses three Kaufman Adaptive Moving Averages (KAMA) that automatically adjust their smoothing based on market efficiency
Combines layer alignment, momentum, and volatility into a single "neural signal"
Provides signal strength percentages so you know the conviction level of each signal
Creates a visual trend cloud that makes direction immediately obvious
What This Indicator Does
Plots three adaptive moving average "layers" that respond dynamically to market efficiency
Creates a trend cloud between fast and slow layers for visual trend identification
Generates weighted composite signals from layer alignment, momentum, and volatility
Displays buy/sell labels with signal strength percentages
Provides a comprehensive dashboard with multi-component breakdown
Colors the neural line and cloud based on current trend direction
Core Methodology
The indicator employs a three-layer adaptive system where each layer responds to market conditions at different speeds:
Fast Layer (default: 8) — Quick response for short-term direction changes
Medium Layer (default: 21) — Intermediate trend reference
Slow Layer (default: 55) — Long-term trend anchor
Each layer uses efficiency-based adaptation, meaning they become more responsive during trending conditions and smoother during choppy markets.
The neural signal is a proprietary composite that weighs three distinct market components:
Momentum Component (default: 40%) — Measures directional price velocity, normalized to its recent range
Trend Component (default: 35%) — Evaluates alignment between the three adaptive layers
Volatility Component (default: 25%) — Incorporates market volatility state into signal generation
These components are combined using a weighted formula that has been calibrated to balance responsiveness with noise reduction.
Signal Generation
Direction changes occur when the smoothed neural signal crosses a configurable strength threshold:
Bullish — Signal exceeds positive threshold with layer alignment confirmation
Bearish — Signal drops below negative threshold with layer alignment confirmation
Neutral — Signal remains within threshold range, indicating consolidation
Signal strength percentages indicate the conviction level of each signal, helping traders assess trade quality. Higher percentages suggest stronger trend conviction.

How to Use It
For Trend Following:
Follow the trend cloud color for overall market direction
Enter long when cloud turns bullish (teal) and signal strength is high
Enter short when cloud turns bearish (red) and signal strength is high
Use the neural line as a trailing stop reference
For Signal Trading:
Wait for BUY/SELL labels to appear
Check the signal strength percentage—higher is better
Confirm with dashboard showing aligned layers
Avoid signals during MIXED layer alignment
For Confirmation:
Use Neural Trend Engine to confirm signals from other systems
Strong confirmation when all three layers are aligned
Dashboard shows momentum and trend strength for additional context
Alerts Available
NTE Buy Signal — Bullish direction change detected
NTE Sell Signal — Bearish direction change detected
NTE Direction Change — Any trend direction change
Best Practices
Higher signal strength percentages indicate more reliable signals
Wait for layer alignment (shown in dashboard) before entering trades
Use on higher timeframes for more reliable trend identification
Combine with support/resistance levels for entry timing
