XPMA TT — Trend Trading Indicator (MT4)

XPMA TT is a trend‑following moving average suite that adapts to volatility and slope. It paints clear color states, highlights pullbacks to the mean, and supports alerts and optional arrows/filters in MetaTrader 4.

What it shows

• XPMA (extended/smoothed MA) that stabilizes in chop and accelerates in trends.
• Color/slope logic to mark bull vs bear phases and flip points.
• (Optional) bands/offsets to frame pullbacks and mean‑revert tags.
• Alerts — color flip, slope change, touch of band/MA, (if available) arrows.

Trade ideas

1. Trend + pullback: trade in color direction on the first pullback to XPMA/band; exit on color flip.
2. Break‑and‑retest: after a flip, wait for price to retest XPMA and continue.
3. Range fade (if flat slope): fade outer band touches back to the MA with structure confirmation.
4. (Optional) MTF bias: only act when higher‑TF XPMA has the same color.

Inputs that matter

• XPMA length and smoothing type — responsiveness vs stability.
• Band offset (if present) — room for pullbacks.
• Color/slope thresholds — sensitivity of flips.
• Alerts — flip, touches, slope.

Suggested usage

• M5–M15: pullbacks in the active color.
• M30–H4: break‑and‑retest, trend adds.
• Daily+: regime map and trailing bias.
