Creating a Simple Regime Detection Indicator for Trading
The market’s present state, known as the “market regime,” can be bullish, flat, or bearish. Knowing the present regime will help you decide whether to adopt a contrarian or trend-following approach. This article offers a method for developing and considering a regime detection algorithm.
Following the popularity of my first book, “Trend Following Strategies in Python,” I have just published a new one. With a GitHub page dedicated to the constantly updated code, it has sophisticated contrarian indications and techniques. If this seems interesting to you, feel free to check out the Amazon link below (which includes a sample), or if you’d rather purchase the PDF version, you may do so by clicking the link at the end of the post.
Market Regime
The market’s regime is its present condition and is further broken down into:
Bullish trend: The market tends to make higher highs, which indicates that the overall trend is upward.
Sideways: The market tends to fluctuate while staying inside predetermined zones.
The market has the propensity to produce lower lows, indicating that the overall trend is downward.
Even if most trend-detection tools do provide an answer, we can’t assert that we can forecast what will happen next. Assuming that the situation won’t change, the best course of action is to trade any reactions, preferably in the trend’s direction. For instance, it is logical to wait for dips before buying and assume that the bullish state would continue if the EURUSD is above its moving average and forming higher highs. This is known as a trend-following approach.
Creating the Simple Regime Detection Indicator
As potential candidates for a regime detection technique, let’s take a look at a 200-period moving average and the locations of the highs and lows about time. We’re going to accomplish this by giving grades:
- The score is 1.00, which is a strong bullish market score, if the current closing price is above the 200-period moving average, the current close is above the close from 13 periods ago, the current high is above the high from 8 periods ago, and the current low is above the low from 5 periods ago.
- The score is -1.00, which is a strong negative market score, if the current closing price is below the 200-period moving average, the current close is below the close from 13 periods ago, the current high is below the high from 8 periods ago, and the current low is below the low from 5 periods ago.
We have created intermediate scores in the middle, which range from -1.00 to 1.00 with increments of 0.25 (as seen later in the code).
By doing this, we may produce an indicator with a -1.00 to 1.00 range. To somewhat smooth out the values, we will use this indicator’s 13-period moving average. Now, we have our simple regime detector and we can use it to check the current market state. Check out the S&P 500 chart below.

The USD/JPY chart that follows demonstrates how the bullish trend is clearly in control and how the indicator was able to identify it early. It is also clear that the indicator is currently getting close to the zero line, supporting an uncertain bearish posture.

Divergences can also be used with this indicator, but they require more complex conditions that are outside the scope of this article. This regime detection indicator is merely intended to illustrate how to think about market regimes; it is by no means a ready-to-deploy measure.
Visit Lumiwealth if you’d like to learn how to construct various algorithms on your own. They offer in-depth, hands-on workshops on anything from algorithmic trading to blockchain and machine learning, which I heartily recommend.
To sum up, all I’m attempting to do is make a small contribution to the field of objective technical analysis, which advocates for more transparent methods and approaches that must first undergo back-testing.
I strongly suggest you always follow the below this stages whenever you come across a trading technique or strategy:
- Put emotions aside and adopt an analytical perspective.
- Test it in the past in conditions and simulations taken from real life.
- Try improving it and performing a forward test if you notice any possibility.
- Transaction charges and any slippage simulation should always be included in your tests.
- Risk management and position sizing should always be included in your tests.
Finally, even after making sure of the aforementioned points, be cautious and keep an eye on the plan because market dynamics may change and render it ineffective.
