MT_Filter – Multi Timeframe Indicator

Overview:

The MTFilter software is a multi timeframe “confluence of conditions” indicator which greatly simplifies the process of determining directional bias and trending conditions. The indicator tracks momentum, price structure, and moving averages on any alternate timeframe/bartype and looks for confluence across 11 different filters to display easy to read directional bias for permissive action.

Purpose:

Traders need the MTFilter because understanding the dominant directional bias is critical when trading any kind of strategy. The dominant trend is usually revealed by looking at a higher timeframe. Also there are many different measures which can be used. When there is confluence across several measures that provides extra confidence. Traders need a way to simplify all these calculations and also reduce the number of charts needed. MTFilter translates all these components into a simple background shading on your trading chart, telling you whether there is an uptrend, downtrend, or no trend conditions.
