Uptrick publishes several different TradingView tools. Volatility Adjusted Trail and Alpha Trend are separate scripts, so their settings, outputs and access conditions should be checked individually. Neither a trailing line nor a trend label is a broker stop order.

Identify the publication​

Look for the exact name and publisher: Volatility Adjusted Trail or Alpha Trend. Do not transfer a setting or feature from one to the other based only on the Uptrick name.

The following implementation notes describe Pineify’s registered Volatility Adjusted Trail component. They are not a claim that every current Uptrick publication uses identical code.

How the Pineify component forms its trail​

Its basis is an EMA. The ATR multiplier combines a base multiplier, ATR relative to its own moving average, and a persistence adjustment derived from the smoothed sign of the EMA slope. The result is clamped between minimum and maximum multipliers before forming bands around the basis.

The defaults are EMA length 8, ATR length 14, base multiplier 2, persistence window 20 and one confirmation bar. These are configuration defaults, not tested optimal values for a market or trading style. The component is marked as a paid indicator in the catalog.

The bullish active trail can tighten upward while the bullish state persists; the bearish active trail can tighten downward in its state. Counters compare closes with the previous trail bands. Increasing the required count can delay a transition, but does not prove that the remaining transitions are more profitable.

State changes are not all flip signals​

The component outputs state, both trails and separate bullish/bearish flip booleans. Those flip booleans require a change from bearish to bullish or bullish to bearish. The initial transition out of neutral is not the same two-state flip and may not produce a flip label.

The calculation does not itself require barstate.isconfirmed. An indicator can update on an open bar, so the current state or signal may change before close. A blanket guarantee that every historical signal matches every live observation is unsupported. Inspect the chosen alert frequency and any higher-timeframe configuration separately.

Test the intended order rule​

If using the line for exits, define whether crossing it submits a market exit on close or whether a resting stop follows a previously calculated level. Those fill models differ. Include gaps, costs and order timing, and specify initial protection before a trail exists.

Alpha Trend’s momentum and dashboard features must be evaluated according to that publication’s definitions. A displayed ratio is not necessarily the result of a complete, cost-adjusted trading strategy.

The former TSLA/BTC trade stories and claim that an RSI filter removed 30% of false signals lacked records. No universal settings table or performance ranking is retained.
