Trendlines

Automatically draws valid trendlines connecting swing highs and swing lows.

What it shows:

  • Descending trendlines connecting lower highs

  • Ascending trendlines connecting higher lows

  • Broken trendlines shown in a different style

  • Optional signals (X marks) where trendlines are broken

How to use it:

  • Lookback controls how far back the indicator searches for pivot points — higher values find more significant trendlines

  • Extend projects trendlines forward

  • Show Broken keeps broken trendlines visible in a different style (e.g., dashed) so you can see where breaks occurred

  • Max Broken limits how many broken trendlines stay on the chart

  • Mitigation — choose whether a trendline is broken by Close or by High/Low wick

  • Enable Show Signals to plot visual markers when a trendline is broken — useful for alerting


Market Structure Background Color

A subtle background color that reflects the current market bias.

  • Green background — Bullish structure (BOS to the upside has occurred)

  • Purple background — Bearish structure (BOS to the downside has occurred)

Enable/disable with the Show Market Structure Bg Color toggle. Useful for quick at-a-glance trend direction, Its great for filtering the trend following signals from the Aslan Signal Engine.


Displacement Candles

Displacement candles are abnormally large, high-momentum candles that signal a strong shift in market sentiment — often the candle that creates a Fair Value Gap.

What it shows:

  • Highlighted candles (color change) when a displacement occurs

  • Works on both bullish and bearish displacement

How to use it:

  • Set Displacement Type to measure either the candle body or the full candle including wicks

  • Displacement Strength (0–3) controls how aggressive the filter is — higher = rarer, stronger signals

  • Enable Structure Filter to only show displacement candles that occur near a BOS or MSS event — this dramatically improves signal quality

  • A displacement candle followed by a pullback into the FVG it created is one of the cleanest entry setups in SMC trading
