Trendhilo: Adaptive MT5 Trend Indicator for clearer entries and reduced noise

This Trendhilo review in 2026 focuses on performance and analysis of an adaptive trend indicator built for MetaTrader 5. Trendhilo stands out because it combines moving average logic with ATR-based volatility scaling to produce a visual histogram, arrows and alerts that adapt to market conditions. The developer, Roberto Manuel Merino Blazquez, implements the indicator with clear parameter sets and lightweight code suitable for live terminals. What makes Trendhilo unique is its volatility-aware smoothing: during high volatility the indicator widens its sensitivity to avoid late signals, and during low volatility it tightens to capture emerging trends. The algorithm calculates an ATR-scaled moving average envelope and derives histogram differences to mark trend strength, which traders can interpret as continuation or reversal cues. Trendhilo works best on trending forex pairs and major indices where sustained moves occur, and it handles intraday momentum on M15 to H1 as well as swing setups on H4. Risk management is left to the trader, but the indicator includes options for alert thresholds and signal filtering to avoid overtrading. Expected performance characteristics include fewer false signals than simple moving average crossovers, clearer entry signals for trend capture, and moderate trade frequency depending on timeframe. Users should pair Trendhilo signals with price action confirmation and position sizing rules for consistent results on MT5.
