The Adjustment Factor input has a default value of 0.1 and can be adjusted to adapt to changing levels of volatility . The Stop-loss input allows users to control their risk tolerance, with a default value of 8% for long-term trading and 2% for high-frequency trading.
Token Metrics Clouds incorporates a bullish / bearish trend indicator, which uses two adaptive moving averages that adapt to volatility , reducing false trend signals during range-bound environments and providing a more accurate representation of market trends.
The Token Metrics Trendline is a long-term indicator that uses an adaptive moving average to identify long-term trends. This can also be used for long-term resistance and support levels, providing a comprehensive overview of the current market situation for both long-term and high-frequency traders.
The Token Metrics Signals indicator provides long, short, and close signals, indicating when to enter and exit long or short positions based on the TM trend-following strategy.
The Token Metrics Channels indicator is a top/bottom indicator that adjusts to current levels of volatility .

The look-back periods change according to the strategy time frame, offering a flexible and dynamic approach to market analysis.
Long-term trading is a trend-following strategy best suited for daily and weekly timeframes. This strategy works well in trending markets but may produce false signals in choppy or range-bound markets.
High-frequency trading is a mean-reverting strategy best suited for 15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour timeframes. This strategy performs well in choppy or range-bound markets but may not be effective in strong trending markets.
