Visualize momentum-based price projections on TradingView
What is the A1 Trend Projections Indicator?
The A1 Trend Projections indicator is a momentum-based forecasting tool built for TradingView. Designed for traders who want to estimate where price could be headed based on recent price action, it projects possible future market movement using historical momentum.
This tool is ideal for trend traders, momentum traders, swing traders, and scalpers alike—offering flexible configurations to suit any trading style or time frame.
How It Works
The indicator uses a simple but powerful formula:
1. Lookback Period: It analyzes the rate of change over a customizable number of past candles (default: 40).
2. Forward Projection: It then uses that rate of change to forecast future price movement over a user-defined number of candles.
3. Visual Output: The indicator draws projected trend lines and optional target zones and pullback areas based on the recent trend.
Default Settings
Lookback Period: 40 candles
Projection Period: 20 candles
Display Options: - Up to three trend lines representing different momentum scenarios - Teal zones = possible target areas - Green/Orange zones = potential pullback regions
You can customize all colors, opacity, and projection settings.
How to use it in your strategy
For Trend Traders
Use the projections to: - Align your entries with current market momentum - Forecast where price might move next - Identify pullback zones as potential entry points
Multi-Time Frame Support
Use the indicator across all time frames: - Scalpers might use it on the 5m or 15m - Swing traders may prefer the 1H, 4H, or daily charts
The projections update dynamically with each new candle to reflect the most recent market data.
Optional Target & Pullback Zones
Toggle zones to visually highlight: - Where price could accelerate toward (target zones) - Where a healthy retracement may occur (pullback zones)
Tip: Some traders prefer to hide these zones by reducing their opacity for a cleaner chart.
Customization Options
Lookback Period: Adjust how many past candles are used to calculate the projection
Projection Length: Control how far forward the tool forecasts
Colors & Opacity: Personalize your visuals—adjust lines, pullback zones, and target areas
Line Styles: Tweak thickness and line style to match your charting preferences
To change settings:
1. Click the gear icon on the indicator
2. Use the “Inputs” tab to adjust bar lengths
3. Use “Style” to customize visuals
Limitations & Best Practices
This is not a predictive crystal ball. Like all technical indicators, it’s best used in conjunction with your strategy:
- Combine with support/resistance, price patterns, or other indicators
- Reassess regularly—projections shift as new price data comes in
