What is the Primo Early Trend Detector?

PET-D is a proprietary color-bar indicator designed and used by Steven Primo. Instead of stacking oscillators, it paints the price bars themselves so one glance shows whether buyers or sellers are in control.

Trend filter

Apply PET-D to your own setups to favor trades that align with the short-term trend and skip the ones fighting it.

Any market, any timeframe

Stocks, ETFs, futures, forex, and options underlyings — from 1-minute charts to daily and weekly.

Stop placement aid

Use color flips and trend context to help place stops where the move invalidates, not where noise shakes you out.

Green bars vs. red bars

The logic stays simple on purpose. Color on the bar is the signal — no lag-heavy window to decode.

Green bars

Short-term trend has flipped up. Buyers are in control. Long setups, pullback entries, and breakout continuations are considered here.

Red bars

Short-term trend has flipped down. Sellers are in control. Short setups and breakdown trades come into focus. Rapid color flips warn of chop.

Runs on the platforms you already use

PET-D add-ons are available for the major platforms traders already run. (thinkorswim users can use the free NinjaTrader download.)
