A direct comparison
Compass is a standalone context tool. Trend uses a different direction model and adds the ribbon and confirmation layer.

Understand the reading
Up and Down describe direction. Neutral marks mixed structure or insufficient directional control, depending on the indicator.
Compass shows extension from session VWAP. Trend checks whether structure, momentum, and participation support its direction.
Use the reading alongside your own trading plan. A directional state does not specify a trade or determine its risk.
Direction, ribbon width, and confirmation describe different parts of the chart. Expansion does not identify the next direction, and a clearer display does not establish a profitable trading edge.

The current Trend v6 Pine Script for personal use: a bold direction line, fading 13-line ribbon, soft conviction halo, optional value reference, confirmation arrows, and five alerts. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Trend v6 works on standard time-based candles and bars. Its original settings were developed around five-minute charts; changing the interval changes the lookback period and behavior, and broader trading effectiveness is not established. Compass uses session VWAP for intraday context.
No. Trend chart arrows mark the first full confirmation in a new directional state and may appear after its color changes. The badge arrow describes the current direction. Neither product provides entries, exits, stops, targets, or position sizes.
Direction and context states commit when a chart bar closes. Trend v6 also commits its ribbon and halo at bar close; the optional value reference can move during the open bar. Historical data revisions and different loaded history can affect results.
Compass downloads directly. Trend downloads after Stripe verifies payment. If Trend is not a fit, the existing refund policy allows a request within seven calendar days. See the refund policy for the full terms.
