LogTrend Retest Engine

LogTrend Retest Engine (LTRE)

LogTrend Retest Engine (LTRE) is an advanced trend-continuation overlay designed to identify high-probability breakout retests using logarithmic regression, volatility-adjusted deviation bands, and market regime filtering.

Unlike traditional channels or moving averages, LTRE models price behavior in log space, allowing it to adapt naturally to exponential market moves common in crypto, indices, and long-term trends.


🔹 How It Works

Logarithmic Regression Core

• Performs linear regression on log-transformed price and time
  
• Produces a structurally accurate trend midline that scales with price growth
  

Volatility-Adjusted Deviation Bands

• Dynamic upper and lower zones based on statistical deviation
  
• ATR weighting expands or contracts bands as volatility changes
  

Adaptive Lookback (Optional)

• Automatically adjusts regression length using volatility pressure
  
• Faster response in high-volatility environments, smoother in consolidation
  

🔹 Market Regime Detection

LTRE actively filters conditions using:

• R² trend strength (trend quality, not just slope)
  
• Volatility compression vs expansion
• User-defined minimum trend strength threshold
  

Signals are disabled during ranging or low-quality conditions.


🔹 Breakout → Retest Signal Logic

LTRE does not chase breakouts.

Signals trigger only when:

1. Price breaks cleanly outside the deviation band
2. Market regime is confirmed as trending
3. Price performs a controlled retest within a user-defined tolerance

BUY

• Break above upper band → retest → trend confirmed
  

SELL

• Break below lower band → retest → trend confirmed
  

This structure is designed to reduce false breakouts and late entries.



🔹 Visual & Projection Tools

• Clean midline and deviation bands
  
• Optional filled zones
  
• Optional future trend projection for forward structure planning
  
• On-chart statistics for trend strength and volatility compression
  

🔹 Best Use Cases

• Trend continuation & pullback strategies
  
• Crypto, Forex, Indices, and equities
  
• Works best on 15m and higher timeframes

⚠️ Disclaimer

LTRE is a decision-support tool, not a complete trading system. Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with additional structure, volume, or higher-timeframe context.
