Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard
Nine-Timeframe Trend Alignment Indicator for TradingView
See the whole trend picture in one place. The MTF Trend Dashboard aggregates direction across nine standard timeframes using six selectable detection methods, scores overall alignment, and locks every signal at bar close — turning timeframe juggling into a single, colour-coded read on your chart.
01 Quick Summary
The Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard is an invite-only TradingView indicator built to end timeframe ambiguity. It samples trend direction on 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly and Monthly — using whichever of six detection methods suits your style — and rolls the results up into a weighted alignment score. Every value is read from the last closed higher-timeframe bar and every alert is gated by chart bar close, so the dashboard is fully non-repainting: what you see in the past is what would have printed in real time.
02 Overview
One screen, the whole trend picture. Most trading mistakes come from looking at one timeframe in isolation: a clean long setup on the 5-minute often dissolves when the Daily is rolling over, and the best swing entries quietly line up across hours and days before they become obvious. The MTF Trend Dashboard removes the manual chart-flipping by computing trend direction and strength on nine timeframes in parallel and displaying them in a single, compact table on the chart.
For each enabled timeframe the dashboard returns an integer score in the range −2 to +2:
+2 = Strong Bullish | +1 = Bullish | 0 = Neutral | −1 = Bearish | −2 = Strong Bearish
Each timeframe’s score is then weighted (higher timeframes count more) and combined into an overall alignment score. That score is mapped to one of five labels — Strong Bullish Alignment, Bullish Alignment, Mixed Trend, Bearish Alignment, Strong Bearish Alignment — and surfaced both in the dashboard and through alerts.
How each cell’s direction is decided depends on the method you pick: Moving Average, Dual Moving Average, Supertrend, ADX/DI, Ichimoku, or Price Structure. Whichever method is selected runs identically across all nine timeframes, giving you an apples-to-apples comparison from the 1-minute right up to the Monthly. The result is a single panel that answers, at a glance, “is the market aligned, and if so, in which direction?”
03 Key Features
Concurrent reads of 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly and Monthly — each toggleable. Stop flipping between charts; the whole hierarchy is on one screen.
Choose Moving Average, Dual Moving Average, Supertrend, ADX/DI, Ichimoku, or Price Structure. The same method is applied uniformly across every timeframe for a consistent read.
Every HTF value is sampled from the previous closed bar via request.security(..., expr[1], lookahead_off). Alerts and markers fire only on barstate.isconfirmed. Historical signals match real-time exactly.
Higher timeframes carry more weight (Monthly 2.0, Weekly 1.75, Daily 1.5, 4H 1.25, 1H 1.0, 30m/15m 0.75, 5m/1m 0.5). The composite average drives the overall verdict and colour-coding.
Each timeframe is classified as Strong, Weak or Flat as well as Bullish, Bearish or Neutral. A neutral buffer around the trend reference prevents noisy flipping near borderline levels.
Position (six corners), text size, transparency, borders, branding banner and footer, plus optional “Reading” column showing the underlying method values (MA price, ADX level, Ichimoku conversion etc.).
All-bullish, all-bearish, HTF (1H/4H/D) alignment, chart-timeframe trend flips, overall-alignment transitions and Mixed↔Aligned changes — ready to fire into webhooks, email or mobile.
Optional alignment-change markers, current-TF trend label, overall-trend background tinting and method-based bar colouring — all locked to bar close, all toggleable.
04 Reading the Dashboard
The dashboard collapses each timeframe’s score into a coloured cell. Below is the practical taxonomy traders use when scanning the panel and the summary rows beneath it.
Overall row. The dashboard’s Overall row blends every enabled timeframe’s score with weights described in Key Features. The label maps to thresholds: ≥ +1.3 Strong Bullish, ≥ +0.5 Bullish, > −0.5 Mixed, > −1.3 Bearish, otherwise Strong Bearish.
05 How to Use the MTF Trend Dashboard
Add it to TradingView
Open the Indicators menu → Invite-Only Scripts → select Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard [ToolTack] and apply it to your chart. The panel will appear with default settings in the top-right corner.
Choose Your Trend Method
Pick one of the six methods based on style. Moving Average and Dual MA suit trend traders; Supertrend works well in trending instruments; ADX/DI separates trending from ranging conditions; Ichimoku brings multi-component confluence; Price Structure reads pure higher-highs/lower-lows.
Tune Method-Specific Inputs
Each method has its own group of settings — MA length and type, supertrend ATR and multiplier, ADX thresholds, Ichimoku periods, swing lookback. Defaults are sensible (e.g. 50-period EMA, ADX 20/40, Ichimoku 9/26/52) but tune them to your instrument’s rhythm.
Select the Right Timeframes
Toggle on only the timeframes you actually trade. Day traders typically keep 1m / 5m / 15m / 30m. Swing traders favour 1H / 4H / Daily. Position traders use Daily / Weekly / Monthly. Disabling unused rows declutters the dashboard and stops irrelevant cells from influencing the overall score.
Style the Dashboard
Choose a corner (six positions), text size (Small → Extra Large), transparency, borders, and accent colours. Toggle the Strength column for an at-a-glance Strong/Weak read and the Reading column to surface raw method values (e.g. MA price, ADX level). Hide what you don’t need.
Read Cells + Overall Together
Individual cells tell you what each timeframe is doing; the Summary row gives the bull/bear/neutral count; the Overall row gives the weighted verdict and average score. Aligned across higher timeframes plus a clean read on the lower frames is the high-conviction state.
Wire Up Alerts & Optional Visuals
Right-click the indicator, choose Add alert, and pick from ten preset conditions — all-bullish, all-bearish, HTF aligned, chart-TF flips and overall transitions. Optionally enable the on-chart alignment-change markers, background tint or bar colouring for a more graphical layer on top of price.
06 Strategy Ideas
Educational examples only — always test before using real capital.
Top-Down Pullback Entry
Trade only in the direction of HTF alignment (1H/4H/D bullish or bearish). Wait for the lower timeframes (1m/5m/15m) to flip against the HTF bias (a pullback) and then back with it — that re-alignment is your trigger.
Nine-In-A-Row Setups
Filter for the rare moments when every enabled timeframe agrees (the “All Timeframes Bullish/Bearish” alerts). These full-stack alignments often coincide with strong trending phases — ideal for momentum continuation entries with the trend.
Regime-Change Capture
The “Mixed → Aligned” alert fires when the market transitions out of consolidation. Use it as a heads-up that a new directional phase may be starting — pair with structure or volume confirmation before sizing in.
Two-Indicator Validation
Run two copies of the dashboard with different methods (e.g. one Moving Average, one Supertrend). When both agree on overall alignment, conviction is higher than either alone. When they disagree, hold off — the market is mid-transition.
Mixed = Stand Down
When the Overall row reads “Mixed Trend” with the average score near zero, trend-following strategies tend to underperform. Use the dashboard as a filter for not trading — equally valuable as filtering for trades.
Weekly + Monthly Lock-In
For longer holds, watch the Weekly and Monthly rows. Add to a position only when both remain aligned in your direction; trim or exit when one flips. Lower timeframes are mostly noise to a position trader and can be disabled.
Reminder: The dashboard reports trend state, not entry levels. Always pair an aligned read with price structure, risk management and a defined plan before sizing a position.
07 Best Tools to Combine With
The dashboard answers “what’s the trend across timeframes?” To turn that into structured trade ideas, pair it with tools that locate entries, levels and risk.
The dashboard tells you the direction; a squeeze detector tells you when the move starts. Aligned HTF bias plus an ignition signal is a high-conviction breakout combo.
Layer horizontal levels onto the chart. Entries in the direction of the dashboard’s overall bias, taken from a clear level, give a defined stop and an asymmetric R:R profile.
Use BOS/CHoCH and Fibonacci retracements for the “where” of an entry. The dashboard’s alignment confirms you’re going with the bigger picture rather than fighting it.
For stocks, filter the universe by RS first. Aligned alignment on a leadership name is a far stronger setup than the same alignment on a laggard.
Confirm regime changes with above-average volume or VWAP breaks. An alignment flip on heavy volume tends to follow through; the same flip on thin volume often fades.
Once direction is locked in, size the position with ATR-derived stops. The dashboard gives you the “why”; ATR gives you the “how much”.

10 Frequently Asked Questions
Does the dashboard repaint?
No. Every higher-timeframe value is sampled from the previous closed bar (expr[1] with lookahead_off), and every alert or on-chart marker is gated by barstate.isconfirmed. The trade-off is one HTF bar of latency in exchange for signals that never disappear, change or rewrite themselves — historical alignments match what would have printed live.
Which detection method should I use?
There’s no universally “best” option — each suits a different style. Moving Average and Dual MA are simple and broadly applicable. Supertrend works well in trending instruments. ADX/DI is excellent for filtering ranging conditions. Ichimoku layers multiple components for confluence. Price Structure reads raw higher-highs/lower-lows. Pick one, learn its character, then optionally run a second copy with a different method for cross-validation.
Why are some timeframes weighted higher than others?
Higher timeframes encode more aggregate information and tend to drive lower-timeframe behaviour, so the weighting (Monthly 2.0 down to 1m 0.5) reflects that hierarchy. A Daily alignment carries more weight than a 5-minute one. The result is an overall score that responds quickly to noisy short timeframes flipping but is anchored by the Daily/Weekly/Monthly state.
Does the indicator predict direction or call entries?
No. The dashboard reports the state of trend across timeframes — it doesn’t generate entries or predict tops and bottoms. Treat aligned readings as a permission slip to look for trade setups in that direction, then use structure, volatility and risk-management tools to time and size positions.
What timeframes work best?
The dashboard is timeframe-agnostic. Day traders typically focus on 1m / 5m / 15m / 30m; swing traders on 1H / 4H / Daily; position traders on Daily / Weekly / Monthly. Toggle off rows you don’t care about — they’ll be excluded from the overall score and won’t clutter the table.
Can I use it on forex, crypto, futures and stocks?
Yes. The methods are price-based and work on any instrument TradingView supports. Tune the method parameters (MA length, supertrend multiplier, ADX thresholds, etc.) to each market’s rhythm — one size rarely fits all when comparing crypto to large-cap equities to currency pairs.
What does “Mixed Trend” really mean?
It means the weighted overall score sits between roughly −0.5 and +0.5 — the timeframes disagree, or the market is transitioning. Mixed alignment is itself useful information: it often coincides with consolidations or chop where trend-following entries underperform. Many traders use Mixed as a signal to stand down, not to fight the market.
Should I trade every alignment alert?
No. Alignment is necessary but not sufficient. An “All Bullish” alert in a thin, low-volume name with no structural setup is a worse trade than a Mixed read with a clean level breakout and rising volume. Use the dashboard as a filter and a context layer, then add your own structural and risk rules before sizing in.
