Trend Quality Index
A reading from 0 to 1 on every bar, built from four measurements: directional efficiency, volume, where price sits in its range, and how persistent momentum has been.
Invite-only TradingView indicatorThe Supertrend that knows when the trend is not clean
A plain Supertrend flips the same way in a strong trend and in sideways chop, which is why it whipsaws. Algo Shadow Matrix measures how clean the trend is on every bar, widens or tightens its bands to match, and puts a score on every signal so you can see which flips are worth your attention.
- Every BUY and SELL carries a confluence score from 0 to 102
- Stop loss and three targets drawn the moment a signal closes
- Signals only on closed bars: nothing repaints, nothing moves afterwards
- Any symbol, any timeframe, with five alert events

Algo Shadow Matrix on TradingView, on camera
The published walkthrough: the indicator on real charts, what its inputs do, and which signals to take and which to skip.
Why a plain Supertrend costs you trades
Supertrend has one number that matters: the ATR multiplier. It is fixed. The band is as wide in a clean trend as it is in a sideways mess, and that single fact explains most of the trouble people have with it.
Set the multiplier low and the line hugs price. You catch trends early, and then you get flipped in and out five times while the market goes nowhere. Set it high and the chop stops hurting, but every real reversal is confirmed so late that a large part of the move is already gone.
There is no right setting, because the market is not in one state. What is needed is a band that changes its own width as conditions change, and a way to tell a strong flip from a weak one before acting on it. That is what this indicator does.

What you get
Nine things it does that a plain Supertrend cannot
One indicator on the chart, no second window, no extra scripts to line up.
Bands that adapt
When quality is high the bands tighten and hold the trend closely. When quality drops they widen and give price room, so chop produces fewer false flips.
Character-flip detection
If trend quality collapses while the trend is still technically intact, the regime can flip before price breaks the band. It reacts to the change in behaviour, not only to the level.
Scored signals
Six independent checks, up to 17 points each, summed to a score out of 102 and printed on the signal label. You choose the minimum score you want to see.
Stop and three targets
Entry, stop loss and TP1, TP2, TP3 are drawn with the signal. Three stop modes, targets in R-multiples you set, and each level is ticked when price reaches it.
Live dashboard
Trend regime, the quality reading and its four parts, the open signal with live distance, and the tool's own rolling record on the chart you are looking at.
Five alert events
BUY, SELL, bullish shift, bearish shift and any target or stop being hit. Pop-up, push, email or webhook with structured JSON for a bot.
Presets that fit the timeframe
Auto reads the chart timeframe and picks the settings. Scalping, Default, Swing and Crypto 24/7 are there if you prefer to choose, and every input stays editable.
No repainting
Every signal, label and level is fixed on the closed bar and never moves. Reload the chart and the same signals are in the same places.

A closer look, on real charts
Every picture below is a TradingView capture with numbered notes added. Nothing on the charts is drawn by hand. Click any image to enlarge it.
- BUY 36Momentum, efficiency, volume, RSI depth, structure and break depth, summed.
- SELL 6A weak flip against a rising market. The score says so before you take it.
- BUY 37A cleaner flip after the washout, on the bar that closed.
- Entry markedThe entry line sits at the close of the signal bar.
Scored signals
Not every flip deserves a trade
A Supertrend flip tells you direction changed. It does not tell you whether the change means anything. On this Bitcoin chart the five signals score 36, 6, 37, 13 and 11, and the difference is visible on the chart: the two highest scores came at real turns, the lowest came against a rising market.
The score is a measure of how many conditions agreed and how strongly. It is not a probability of profit, and the page will not pretend it is. What it gives you is a consistent reason to skip the weak ones.
- Momentum, efficiency, volume, RSI depth, structure and break depth
- Minimum score filter in the inputs
- A layer you switch off scores neutral, so totals stay comparable
- Stop loss 88.59From ATR plus the nearest pivot, whichever is tighter.
- Entry 87.58The close of the signal bar.
- TP1 reachedTicked on the bar where price got there.
- TP2 and TP3At 2R and 3R by default. Change the multiples in the inputs.
Risk drawn for you
The plan is on the chart before you place the trade
When a signal closes, the entry, the stop and three targets appear with their prices. You can size the position from the stop distance straight away instead of measuring anything by hand.
The stop can come from ATR plus the nearest pivot, from pure ATR, or from the recent swing. Targets default to 1R, 2R and 3R and you can change each one. When price reaches a level it is marked on the bar where it happened, and the dashboard updates.
- Three stop loss modes
- Targets in R-multiples, your values
- Levels stay where they were drawn

Four questions answered at a glance
Which way is the regime, how clean is the trend, what is open right now, and how has this tool been doing on this exact chart. The last one matters: the performance block is the indicator keeping score of its own last 100 signals on the symbol and timeframe in front of you, in R.
That record is a readout of the past on that chart. It is useful for deciding where the tool fits and where it does not. It is not a forecast.
- Market context: the regime, the active preset, and whether the market is trending, mixed or choppy
- TQI engine: the quality reading from 0 to 1 and the four measurements behind it
- Active signal: direction, bars ago, entry, stop and three targets, with live distance
- Performance: the tool's own rolling record of its last 100 signals on this chart, in R
- Six screen positions, adjustable size, or hide it for a clean chart
Any market
The same rules on everything you trade
The calculations are not tied to a symbol. Forex, gold and silver, crypto, single stocks, indices and oil all work, from the one-minute chart to the monthly.
Where real volume is not available, as on many CFDs and indices, the volume part of the quality reading falls back to an ATR ratio automatically, so you do not have to change anything.
Alerts
You do not have to watch the screen
Set a TradingView alert once and the indicator tells you when something happens: a BUY, a SELL, the regime turning, or a target or stop being reached. Alerts fire on the closed bar, and nothing is sent for old history when you first add the indicator to a chart.
Each message can carry structured JSON with the price, the stop, the three targets, the score and the quality reading, which is what a Telegram or Discord bot, or an automation service, needs.
- BUY signal and SELL signal, on the closed bar
- Bullish and bearish trend shift, including a character flip
- TP or SL hit: any of the three targets, or the stop
- Pop-up, app push, email or webhook, with JSON for a bot
Under the hood
How the Trend Quality Index is built
Four measurements, each scaled from 0 to 1, combined with weights you can change. Nothing hidden and nothing exotic.
Efficiency
Net movement divided by the total path price travelled. Close to 1 means price went somewhere. Close to 0 means it moved a lot and arrived nowhere.
Volume regime
Is participation above or below normal right now. Uses volume where it is reliable, and an ATR ratio where it is not.
Structure position
Where price sits inside its recent range. Pinned to an edge is trending behaviour. Sitting in the middle is not.
Momentum persistence
How many recent bars closed in the direction of the move. Eight of ten is persistent. Alternating up and down is noise.
What it does
- Marks signals on closed bars, and leaves them where they were
- Tells you how strong each signal is, in a number you can filter on
- Draws a stop and three targets you can size a position from
- Keeps its own record on each chart, so you can see where it fits
What it does not do
- It does not place trades. It is an indicator, not a strategy or a robot
- It does not predict price, and the score is not a probability of profit
- It does not work the same on every market. Its own record will show you
- It does not replace position sizing and a risk limit of your own

Questions
Before you buy
Does Algo Shadow Matrix repaint?
No. Signals, labels, the stop and the targets are all fixed when the bar closes and they never move afterwards. If you reload the chart, the same signals appear in the same places.
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
No. Invite-only indicators work on the free plan. The free plan limits how many indicators you can have on one chart and how many alerts you can run, so a paid plan helps if you use many, but it is not required for this one.
How fast do I get access?
I grant access by hand from my TradingView account. It is normally done within a few hours and always within 24 hours of your form arriving, including weekends.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is one payment of 47 USD for lifetime access on one TradingView username, with future updates included.
Which markets and timeframes does it work on?
Any symbol TradingView offers and any timeframe from one minute to monthly. The Auto preset picks settings from the timeframe, and there are manual presets for scalping, swing trading and crypto.
Can I get a refund?
Once access has been granted the sale is final, because access to an invite-only script cannot be returned. That is why the script page on TradingView is public: read it and look at the charts first. If you paid and access has not been granted yet, email me and I will refund you in full.
Can I change the TradingView username later?
Yes. Email me from the address you bought with and I will move the access to your new username.
Is there a version for MetaTrader or cTrader?
Yes. The same indicator is on the MQL5 Market for MetaTrader 4 and 5 and on the cTrader Store. Those are separate products sold by those stores; this page is the TradingView edition.
Will it make me money?
No indicator can promise that, and this one does not. It gives you cleaner trend signals, a way to rank them, and a stop and targets to plan around. What you do with that, and how you size positions, decides the outcome.
