# Track & Trend

The Track & Trend feature is designed to provide a customisable trend following approach for an item. 

A simple demonstration of the Track & Trend on the **1D (Daily) timeframe** for **BTC (Bitcoin)** shows how interesting this feature could potentially be if combined with additional technical analysis approaches.

### The Basics

A series of custom range calculations are constantly running to establish the trend for the item in focus.  *Colours can be customised via the '**Themes**' section*

* Price is **above** the range ⇒ Track & Trend is <mark style="background-color:green;">**Teal**</mark>&#x20;
* Price is **inside** the range ⇒ Track & Trend is <mark style="background-color:$info;">**White**</mark> *(Information/Neutral)*
* Price is **below** the range ⇒ Track & Trend is <mark style="background-color:$danger;">**Red**</mark>

### Customisation

Default settings are a good starting point, but users can refine and tweak the logic for the Track & Trend with the following items should they desire:

* **Approach style**

  * Standard term
  * Short term
  * Long term

* **Trend following style**

  * Default / Average trend
  * Mean reversion
  * Volatile

* **Trend smoothing**
  * Allows additional smoothing of the trend to increase / reduce values contributing to Track & Trend
