Video: Pullback or Reversal? This Free Indicator Counts It

A 116-second walkthrough of Trend Integrity Oscillator — the free, open-source TradingView indicator that separates the two things that actually diverge during a pullback: trend efficiency (a signed efficiency ratio across three horizons) and structure integrity (three confirmed-pivot facts), then counts what happened next on confirmed bars only.

Chapters

  • 0:00 — Pullback or reversal — what this chart measured
  • 0:20 — The two surfaces that diverge
  • 0:36 — How efficiency and structure are each measured
  • 1:00 — Armed, resumed, or broken
  • 1:18 — Survival Zone and confirmed bars
  • 1:35 — What the panel reports, and where to get it

Key takeaways

  • Trend efficiency is a signed efficiency ratio measured across three horizons and weighted toward the senior ones — computed on your chart’s bars, with zero higher-timeframe requests.
  • Structure integrity scores three confirmed-pivot facts: whether the anchor pivot still holds, whether the pivot chain stays consistent, and how deep this pullback runs against the ones that resumed before it.
  • A pullback arms when efficiency flips against a trend whose structure still holds. The Survival Zone shades the depth that most resumed pullbacks never exceeded — frozen at arm time, so it doesn’t chase price.
  • Every state, marker and counter is decided on confirmed bars only. Below ten episodes the panel says “collecting” instead of quoting a number it can’t support.
