"The trend is your friend" is one of the best known sayings in investing, because capturing large trendy price movements can be extremely profitable. However, trading with the trend is often easier said than done, because many indicators are based on price reversals not trends. These aren't very effective at identifying trendy periods, or predicting whether trends will continue.

We developed the Trendiness Index to help address this problem by indicating the strength and direction of price trends. Increasing values indicate a stronger trend, and bar color indicates trend direction (green = upward, red = downward). Bar color darkens when the trend strength begins to fade, and turns grey when the trend is over.

The Trendiness Index naturally pairs with and is complimented by the Choppiness Index as flip sides of a coin. Choppiness Index is a non-directional indicator that uses different algorithms to indicate the strength of choppy or trendy market conditions.
