The Trend Intensity indicator measures the strength of the trend. The indicator is defined as:
TI = SMA(7)/SMA(65) * 100.
So, trend intensity is calculated as the value of the 7 day moving average divided by the 65 day moving average.
When we divide the values of the 2 lines, the result will tell us how many percent the 7 day moving average is above or below the 65 day moving average. For example:
In the stock charts you can add the Trend Intensity indicator to your charts by adding it from the indicators. See the chart below for an example of the indicator:
Trend intensity tells us whether stocks are in an up or downtrend as well as how strong the trend is. In the stock screener, on the indicators tab you will find a slider that allows you to filter on the current trend intensity value.
