-# TOS_Trend_Indicator
+# Trend Indicator
+
+I wrote this for Thinkorswim platform. This script can be used using this script code: https://tos.mx/q6sj9Bn
+
+## Here is how To Use
+
+To import the script code:  
+Go to top right of Thinkorswim platform window and click on the Gear Setup Icon tab.  
+A drop-down menu will appear. From this menu select Open share item...  
+This will open the Open Share Item window
+![Image of Open Share Item](Images/Open_Shared.jpg)  
+From here you will enter the script code to install the Trend Indicator script.
+
+Once imported into your Thinkorswim platform go to Edit Studies (Beaker Icon) from any chart window.
+![Image of Beaker Icon](Images/Beaker_Icon.jpg)  
+Once you click on the Edit Studies (Beaker Icon) this will open up the Edit Studies and Strategies window
+
+From Here you can add Trend_Indicator to your chart.

+
+1. This is where you can type in Trend_Indicator to look for it through hundreds of different Studies.
+2. Trend_Indicator will be displayed in this area if you had imported it correctly. Highlight by clicking on Trend_Indicator in this area.
+3. Now to add to chart you can click on Add selected.
+4. Once added to your chart it will appear in Price area.
+5. Clicking on the gear icon will access the customization of Trend_Indicator to make your trend detection more accurate.
+

+This shows where to adjust the Trend Time Frame.
+Set this for the length of time you want to check for a trend. 
+
+Be aware this will be based off your time of the Chart being used. Example: 1D 1M chart with trend length time frame at 20 would give you the trend for the past 20 minutes.  
+
+1. Displays the window where you can enter your time frame to detect your trend in your chart.
+2. After entering your detection time, click on the ok tab to exit the Customizing window.  
+

+Once you set your trend length time frame for your chart. You will need to:
+
+1. Press Apply to add changes to your chart.
+2. Press Ok to exit the Edit Studies and Strategies window.  
+

+Now in the top left of your chart window the trend that the script had detected will be displayed.  **Remember this is based off the trend length time frame and your chart time.**
