Price with the trend taken out, to show the cycle.
It compares price with a shifted moving average, so the long trend disappears and only the wave around it stays. Handy for spotting a rhythm in a range.
Worked out by the same code the builder uses, on stored daily candles. Move a setting and the line moves with it. This is what happened, not what will happen.
Entry: Detrended price crosses above 0.
Because of the shift, the last values move as new candles arrive: never treat it as a live signal.
