Overview

HT_TRENDMODE: Hilbert Transform Trend Mode computes in-phase and quadrature components from a smoothed price input to determine dominant cycle phases, an instantaneous period, and a smoothed period. When the instantaneous period exceeds 1.5 times the smoothed period, the indicator flags a trend mode (value 1, colored green); otherwise, it signals a cycle mode (value 0, colored red). It displays as a binary stepline in a separate pane, configured through an adjustable price source.
