This would be very useful so you just watch this indicator & only take trades when the trend begins & ride it till it ends.

What you're asking for does not exist, as it is a mathematical impossibility. No algorithm can predict or report whether the current trend has ended. The trend must actually end before the indicator will report it, so the indicator is always late. Often, it's so late that "riding it" results in a loss. In fact, the trend can end at the very moment you trust the indicator enough to open a trade. Then the indicator will betray you by not telling you until you're losing money.
