Trend Magic combines an ATR band with the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to produce a single trend line. When CCI is non-negative, the line is anchored to `low − ATR` (a rising support floor); when CCI turns negative, it switches to `high + ATR` (a falling resistance ceiling). The line only moves in the favourable direction — it never gives ground in the active trend.
Anchoring to wick extremes instead of close or hl2 keeps the stop just beyond recent noise. The CCI gate adds a momentum filter, so the line flips on a measurable shift in price acceleration rather than only on a band breach.
Defaults are typically CCI period 20 and ATR period 5 with factor 1, but the parameter set is sensitive — test before deploying.
Formula
if CCI ≥ 0: line = max(line_{t−1}, low − ATR)
if CCI < 0: line = min(line_{t−1}, high + ATR)Example
CCI(20) = +35 (bullish), ATR(5) = 180, low = 50,200 → candidate line = 50,020. If the previous line was 49,950, the new line ratchets up to 50,020.
