Trend Strength 20Cross-asset & regime

Timeframe M1 · unit ratio

What it measures

Computes a signed signal-to-noise ratio over 20 bars: the linear regression slope divided by the standard deviation of residuals. Positive = upward trend, negative = downward trend. Magnitude reflects how clean the trend is versus how noisy.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

Range approximately -1 to +1. Values above +0.25 indicate a detectable upward trend structure with meaningful slope relative to noise. Below -0.25 indicates downward trend structure. Values near 0 mean the regression slope is buried in noise - no reliable directional structure is present.

In plain language

Imagine trying to draw the best straight line through a set of price points. If the line goes clearly upward and the prices stick close to it, the trend strength is high and positive. If prices scatter randomly around a nearly flat line, the score is near zero.

Scenarios

• Score > 0.5: Strong upward trend structure; the linear slope is large relative to point-to-point noise; directional momentum is building or sustained.
• Score -0.25 to +0.25: Noisy, trendless environment; regression slope is not meaningfully above noise level; structure is indeterminate.
• Score < -0.5: Strong downward trend structure; the downward slope dominates noise; sustained selling pressure evident in the price series.
• Score crossing from negative to positive: Potential trend direction change; slope is transitioning from downward to upward relative to noise.
