Apollo - Trend Status [ArdiNSC]

█ WHAT IT DOES

Apollo Trend Status tells you the current market trend using Dow Theory — the same methodology professional traders have used for over 100 years.

It answers one simple question: Is this trending up, trending down, or going nowhere?

█ WHY I BUILT THIS

Most retail traders lose because they fight the trend. They long downtrends hoping for a bounce. They short uptrends trying to call the top.

I built this to make trend direction obvious — especially for newer traders still learning to read charts.

It won't tell you when to buy or sell. It just tells you what the chart is doing RIGHT NOW.

█ HOW IT WORKS

The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows, then evaluates the structure:

- Higher Highs + Higher Lows = UPTREND
- Lower Highs + Lower Lows = DOWNTREND
- Mixed structure = NO CLEAR TREND

That's it. No secret sauce. Just objective structure analysis.


█ THE INVALIDATION LINE

In an uptrend, the indicator marks the last swing low — if price closes below it, the trend is broken.

In a downtrend, it marks the last swing high — if price closes above it, the trend is broken.

This gives you a clear line in the sand so you always know where you're wrong.
