Trend Heatmap Dashboard

Trade with the higher-timeframe trend on your side — without ever leaving your chart.

Trend Heatmap Dashboard puts a compact, beautifully designed panel directly on your NinjaTrader 8 chart that shows the trend direction of your current timeframe and up to five higher timeframes at a single glance. No more flipping between charts to check if the 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily all agree — it's right in front of you, color-coded and instantly readable.

Each timeframe is scored by a composite trend engine that blends four proven signals — fast/slow EMA relationship, EMA slope, price position, and linear-regression slope — normalized by ATR and weighted by ADX trend strength. The result is a single, smooth read from Strong Bear through Flat to Strong Bull, rendered as a gradient heatmap cell with a directional arrow, a plain-English verdict, and a live strength meter.

The panel is drawn with hardware-accelerated graphics on the price panel itself, so it stays crisp, never steals a subgraph, and never overlaps your bars. Position it in any corner or side, size it to taste, and set exactly which timeframes and how much history it considers.

Built for confluence trading, scalping, and swing entries alike. Whether you're timing pullbacks with the bigger trend, avoiding counter-trend trades, or just want a clean at-a-glance market map, the Trend Heatmap Dashboard keeps you aligned with what actually matters.
