"New Adaptive Method of Following the Tendency and Market Cycles"

The AT_CF indicator is a powerful tool that integrates four distinct digital filters (FATL, SATL, RFTL, and RSTL) into a single window. This setup is based on Vladimir Kravchuk's unique method, designed to streamline your trading strategy.

The core idea behind the AT_CF method is to minimize the number of technical tools while ensuring they deliver the necessary properties for constructing a robust trading algorithm. This algorithm aims to maximize profitability while keeping risks at a manageable level for specific market conditions.

Here are some basic rules for interpreting the indicators:

1. Rising SATL Line: This indicates a bullish market trend. The local minimum of the SATL signifies the start of a bearish trend reversal. Conversely, when the STLM moves from negative to positive, it marks the end of the bearish trend.
2. Falling SATL Line: This shows a bearish market trend. The local maximum of the SATL indicates the beginning of a bullish trend reversal, while a shift of the STLM from positive to negative signals the end of the bullish trend.
3. SATL Near Horizontal: This indicates a neutral market position.

Pay special attention to the STLM readings. A positive STLM value points to a bullish trend, while a negative one suggests a bearish trend. Remember, STLM is a leading indicator; its local minimum always precedes the SATL local minimum, and the same goes for local maximums.

When the STLM reaches its extreme points, it can indicate that the SATL curve may also be nearing a top or bottom. An increasing STLM alongside a rising SATL suggests an acceleration of the bullish trend, while a steady or horizontal positive STLM indicates a stable bullish environment. The larger the absolute value of the STLM, the stronger the bullish sentiment becomes. Conversely, a falling STLM during a declining SATL indicates accelerating bearish momentum.

• Horizontal and negative STLM with a rising SATL indicates a steady bearish trend; again, a larger STLM absolute value signifies a stronger bearish trend.
• A rising "fast" FATL trend line alongside an increasing "slow" SATL trend line points to a strong bullish market.
• A falling "fast" FATL line with a declining "slow" SATL line signals a strong bearish market.
• An increasing FATL line when the SATL is falling suggests a bullish correction in a bearish trend or a phase of consolidation.
• A decreasing FATL line when the SATL is rising indicates a bearish correction in a bullish trend or consolidation.

If the FATL and SATL lines begin moving in the same direction, it can signal a trend reversal or the end of a correction, leading to a continuation of the price movement towards the SATL.
