VIDYA For-Loop | QuantEdgeB

Introducing VIDYA For-Loop by QuantEdgeB

Overview
The VIDYA For-Loop indicator by QuantEdgeB is a dynamic trend-following tool that leverages Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) along with a rolling loop function to assess trend strength and direction. By utilizing adaptive smoothing and a recursive loop for threshold evaluation, this indicator provides a more responsive and robust signal framework for traders.

Key Components & Features

📌 VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average)
- Adaptive Moving Average that adjusts its responsiveness based on market volatility.
- Uses a dynamic smoothing constant based on standard deviations.
- Allows for better trend detection compared to static moving averages.

📌 Loop Function (Rolling Calculation)
- A for-loop algorithm continuously compares VIDYA values over a defined lookback range.
- Measures the number of times price trends higher or lower within the rolling window.
- Generates a momentum-based score that helps quantify trend persistence.

📌 Trend Signal Calculation
- A long signal is triggered when the loop score exceeds the upper threshold.
- A short signal is triggered when the loop score falls below the lower threshold.
- The result is a clear directional bias that adapts to changing market conditions.
