Vegas & DSL

Vegas & DSL is a trend identification indicator that combines a trend moving average structure with Dynamic State Logic (DSL). Based on the classic Vegas channel, it uses EMA13, EMA21, EMA144, and EMA169 to depict the short-to-medium-term and medium-to-long-term trend framework of the market. It also introduces high and low bands based on HMA (Hull Moving Average) to determine the strength or weakness of prices within a certain period.

The core of the indicator is the DSL state machine system: by detecting when the price continuously stays above the high or low band across several candlesticks, it generates a stable bullish or bearish state. When a bullish state is established, the system marks LP (low point support), representing sustained price strength; when a bearish state is established, it marks HP (high point resistance), reflecting the dominant downward trend. Because the states are "persistent," they do not frequently reverse due to short-term disturbances, making the trend signals smoother and more reliable.

Vegas Structure is responsible for depicting trend channels, while DSL is responsible for trend confirmation. The combination of the two can capture the start of a trend and filter out noise, making it a trend tracking and structure positioning tool suitable for both short-term and long-term trading.
