What it is for

A heat signature of trend. DS Ember reads the trend in volatility-sized bricks, the way a renko chart does, and shows it as heat in your own candles: a ghost of the trend's color while the run is young, solid as it builds, cyan or magenta once it blazes, and a hollow shell once it has run longer than almost every run before it on the chart. Behind the candles, the Ember Ribbon — a set of averages woven into one band — shows which way they lean and how firmly. Where the trend turns, BUY or SELL prints clear of the candles with a bead on the ribbon; where price comes back to the ribbon after a turn and holds it, a small triangle marks the re-test.

What it reads from your chart

Price on the chart's own bars, any bar type, decided on each close; it needs some history on the chart before a run can burn out. No volume needed. Closed bars.
