The Universal Trend indicator System allows you to adjust the "look back" parameter period - which specifies the number of bars to calculate.
The "look back" parameter range is usually between 20 and 200 bars. Short periods (less than 40 bars) react very quickly, but can give a few "false alarms", while long periods (more than 80 bars) take some time to respond, but than the trend is usually "more sustained and solid".

Below are all Universal Trend indicator System parameters (details below) with Lookback set to 200:


Below is a sample of fast(10), medium(30) and long range(200) lookback - Smooth=1, Step=40:

You can adjust the amount of smoothing in the Universal Trend indicator System - via the "Smooth" indicator parameter.
The default "Smoothing" is 4 bars (medium). A "Smooth" of "1" will disable any smoothing and show the raw/direct trend.
Below is a sample of no(1), medium(4) and strong(12) smoothing: - Lookback=20, Step=40

The "Step" parameter allows you to adjust the magnification of the raw calculated trend value:
The range is usually between 20(very magnified/sensitive) and 200 (very small magnification)
Below is an example of three step magnification parameters: 30(strong), 60(medium), 90(small): - Lookback=20, Smooth=12
The databox demonstrates how the raw internal the raw -180 trend value is translated to:
Grade -6(-180/30 strong), -3(-180/60 medium), -2(-180/90 small)

The Universal Trend indicator System responds in real-time instantly to trend changes! We are using an intuitive and continuous coloring scheme to show you the trend. Set your preferred colors using the continuous intuitive coloring scheme:
You can customize the colors to your preference - Example:

• Green (trend up)
• Yellow (no trend - neutral, sideway)
• Red (trend down)

Below are examples of the Universal Trend indicator System smooth continuous color transitions in the Charts:

The Universal Trend indicator System allows you to change the Color Up/Neutral/Down parameters
In the example below - we changed the color neutral from yellow to white:


More examples of color various available ranges:
The system can detect not only the trend direction, but also the STRENGTH of the trend!
It will "grade" the strength of the trend between 1(weak) and +/-10(very strong);

Grade	Trend	Strength
+10/9	Up	Very strong up trend (max up strength grade limited to +10)
+5/6/7/8	Up	Strong up trend
+2/3/4	Up	Slight - possible start of an up trend
+1	Up	Neutral - slight up
-1	Down	Neutral - slight down
+2/3/4	Down	Slight - possible start of an down trend
+5/6/7/8	Down	Strong down trend
+10/9	Down	Very strong down trend (max down strength grade limited to -10)

You can easily identify the best Universal Trend indicator System and trading parameters, by running a NinjaTrader8 backtest or optimizing with the Universal Trend indicator System automated trading strategy.

Below are suggestions of the backtest parameter range(s)

Name	Range	Increment	Tests	Impact	Description
Lookback	20 ... 200	20	10	Strong	Lookback period in bars
Step	40 ... 120	20	5	Strong	Magnification Factor to price changes
GradeLong	4 ... 8	1	5	Strong	Trigger Level for Long Entries
GradeShort	-8 ... -4	1	5	Strong	Trigger Level for Short Entries
TargetOffset	40 ... 160	40	4	Medium	Profit Target Percent - 100 = 1.00% from Entry Price
StopOffset	40 ... 160	40	4	Medium	Stop loss Percent - 100 = 1.00% from Entry Price
ExitAge	10 ... 30	10	3	Small	Exit after X bars if trend reversed - 0 = no reverse exit
CloseFactor	1 ... 10	1	10	Small	Emphasis on the closing price only - vs High and Low - 1=same as High/Low, 10=10x stronger than High/Low
Recent	-10 ... 10	5	3	Small	Emphasis is on the most recent data: +10=most recent bars -10=most historic bars, 0=all bars equal

RISK DISCLOSURE: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
