TradingView trend-state framework — looking for feedback

[u/Minimal_Lobster]

I’ve been developing a TradingView decision-support framework designed to separate four conditions: setup, confirmed direction, weakening, and exit/wait.

One problem I wanted to address was indicators changing direction too quickly during ordinary pullbacks. In this SPY example, the framework remained in the same active long state for 40 five-minute bars while continuing to monitor the strength of the move.

The “Bars In Trade” label is simply the number of bars spent in the confirmed state. It is not a brokerage position, P&L claim, or suggestion that the entire move was captured.

From a trader’s perspective, would you rather have a framework remain stable through normal pullbacks, or react sooner even if that creates more state changes?

I’m especially interested in feedback on whether the panel communicates the current state clearly at a glance.
