Momentum + Keltner Stochastic Combo)The Momentum-Keltner-Stochastic Combination Strategy: A Technical Analysis and Empirical Validation
This study presents an advanced algorithmic trading strategy that implements a hybrid approach between momentum-based price dynamics and relative positioning within a volatility-adjusted Keltner Channel framework. The strategy utilizes an innovative "Keltner Stochastic" concept as its primary decision-making factor for market entries and exits, while implementing a dynamic capital allocation model with risk-based stop-loss mechanisms. Empirical testing demonstrates the strategy's potential for generating alpha in various market conditions through the combination of trend-following momentum principles and mean-reversion elements within defined volatility thresholds.
1. Introduction
Financial market trading increasingly relies on the integration of various technical indicators for identifying optimal trading opportunities (Lo et al., 2000). While individual indicators are often compromised by market noise, combinations of complementary approaches have shown superior performance in detecting significant market movements (Murphy, 1999; Kaufman, 2013). This research introduces a novel algorithmic strategy that synthesizes momentum principles with volatility-adjusted envelope analysis through Keltner Channels.
2. Theoretical Foundation
2.1 Momentum Component
The momentum component of the strategy builds upon the seminal work of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), who demonstrated that stocks which performed well (poorly) over a 3 to 12-month period continue to perform well (poorly) over subsequent months. As Moskowitz et al. (2012) further established, this time-series momentum effect persists across various asset classes and time frames. The present strategy implements a short-term momentum lookback period (7 bars) to identify the prevailing price direction, consistent with findings by Chan et al. (2000) that shorter-term momentum signals can be effective in algorithmic trading systems.
2.2 Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels, as formalized by Chester Keltner (1960) and later modified by Linda Bradford Raschke, represent a volatility-based envelope system that plots bands at a specified distance from a central exponential moving average (Keltner, 1960; Raschke & Connors, 1996). Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use standard deviation, Keltner Channels typically employ Average True Range (ATR) to establish the bands' distance from the central line, providing a smoother volatility measure as established by Wilder (1978).
2.3 Stochastic Oscillator Principles
The strategy incorporates a modified stochastic oscillator approach, conceptually similar to Lane's Stochastic (Lane, 1984), but applied to a price's position within Keltner Channels rather than standard price ranges. This creates what we term "Keltner Stochastic," measuring the relative position of price within the volatility-adjusted channel as a percentage value.
3. Strategy Methodology
3.1 Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy employs a contrarian approach within the channel framework:
Long Entry Condition:
Close price > Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic < threshold (oversold within channel)
Short Entry Condition:
Close price < Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic > threshold (overbought within channel)
Exit Conditions:
Exit long positions when KeltnerStochastic > threshold
Exit short positions when KeltnerStochastic < threshold
This methodology aligns with research by Brock et al. (1992) on the effectiveness of trading range breakouts with confirmation filters.
3.2 Risk Management
Stop-loss mechanisms are implemented using fixed price movements (1185 index points), providing definitive risk boundaries per trade. This approach is consistent with findings by Sweeney (1988) that fixed stop-loss systems can enhance risk-adjusted returns when properly calibrated.
3.3 Dynamic Position Sizing
The strategy implements an equity-based position sizing algorithm that increases or decreases contract size based on cumulative performance:
$ContractSize = \min(baseContracts + \lfloor\frac{\max(profitLoss, 0)}{equityStep}\rfloor - \lfloor\frac{|\min(profitLoss, 0)|}{equityStep}\rfloor, maxContracts)$
This adaptive approach follows modern portfolio theory principles (Markowitz, 1952) and Kelly criterion concepts (Kelly, 1956), scaling exposure proportionally to account equity.
4. Empirical Performance Analysis
Using historical data across multiple market regimes, the strategy demonstrates several key performance characteristics:
Enhanced performance during trending markets with moderate volatility
Reduced drawdowns during choppy market conditions through the dual-filter approach
Optimal performance when the threshold parameter is calibrated to market-specific characteristics (Pardo, 2008)
5. Strategy Limitations and Future Research
While effective in many market conditions, this strategy faces challenges during:
Rapid volatility expansion events where stop-loss mechanisms may be inadequate
Prolonged sideways markets with insufficient momentum
Markets with structural changes in volatility profiles
Future research should explore:
Adaptive threshold parameters based on regime detection
Integration with additional confirmatory indicators
Machine learning approaches to optimize parameter selection across different market environments (Cavalcante et al., 2016)

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
Volume-Price Momentum IndicatorVolume-Price Momentum Indicator (VPMI)
Overview
The Volume-Price Momentum Indicator (VPMI), developed by Kevin Svenson , is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify strong bullish and bearish momentum in price movements, driven by volume dynamics. By analyzing price changes and volume surges over a user-defined lookback period, VPMI highlights potential trend shifts and continuation patterns through a smoothed histogram, optional labels, and background highlights. Ideal for traders seeking to capture momentum-driven opportunities, VPMI is suitable for various markets, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.

Liquidity Fracture DetectorThe Liquidity Fracture Detector is an advanced tool designed to identify micro-liquidity traps and structural fakeouts on intraday charts. These occur when the market appears to break out, only to quickly reverse — often triggered by stop hunts, inefficient fills, or manipulated order flow.
The script combines volume spikes, volatility anomalies, and price structure breaks to signal "fractures" — points where the market temporarily breaks its behavior, often followed by strong reversals or trend accelerations.
Detection logic in the script:
Volume spike greater than 2x the average (adjustable)
Volatility spike: candle range is > 1.5x the average
Extreme wicks: wick is larger than the candle body (a classic trap signal)
Structure break: price breaks previous high/low but closes back within the old range
Combine these elements → a “fracture” is marked
Visual representation:
Red background = potential bull trap (fake breakout to the upside)
Green background = potential bear trap (fake breakdown to the downside)
A label appears at each fracture: “Echo” with the number of previous hits
Ideal use cases:
Intraday trading (1m, 5m, 15m)
Crypto, indices, futures, and forex
Detecting reactive zones where the market takes a false direction
Confluence with S/R zones, order blocks, or liquidity pools
Fully customizable:
Volume and range sensitivity
Heatmap intensity
Toggle labels on/off
Note:
This script is intended to support discretionary analysis. It does not provide buy or sell signals and is not an automated strategy. Combine it with your own price action or order flow setup for optimal results.
Frozen Bias Zones – Sentiment Lock-insOverview
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator visualizes market sentiment lock-ins using a combination of RSI, MACD, and OBV. It creates "bias zones" that indicate whether the market is in a sustained bullish or bearish phase. These zones are then highlighted on the chart, helping traders spot when the market is locked in a bias. The script also detects breakout events from these zones and marks them with clear labels for easier decision-making.
Features
Multi-Indicator Sentiment Analysis: Combines RSI, MACD, and OBV to detect synchronized bullish or bearish sentiment.
Frozen Bias Zones: Identifies and visually represents zones where the market has remained in a particular sentiment (bullish or bearish) for a defined period.
Breakout Alerts: Displays labels to indicate when the price breaks out of the established bias zone.
Customizable Inputs: Adjust the zone duration, RSI, MACD, and breakout label visibility.
Input Parameters
Bias Duration (biasLength)
The minimum number of candles the market must stay in a specific sentiment to consider it a "Frozen Bias Zone".
Default: 5 candles.
RSI Period (rsiPeriod)
Period for the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculation.
Default: 14 periods.
MACD Settings
MACD Fast (macdFast): The fast-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 12.
MACD Slow (macdSlow): The slow-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 26.
MACD Signal (macdSig): The signal line period for MACD.
Default: 9.
Show Break Label (showBreakLabel)
Toggle to show labels when the price breaks out of the bias zone.
Default: True (shows label).
Bias Zone Colors
Bullish Bias Color (bullColor): The color for bullish zones (light green).
Bearish Bias Color (bearColor): The color for bearish zones (light red).
How It Works
This indicator analyzes three key market metrics to determine whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI > 50 indicates a bullish phase, while RSI < 50 indicates a bearish phase.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Measures the relationship between two moving averages of the price. A positive MACD histogram indicates bullish momentum, while a negative histogram indicates bearish momentum.
OBV (On-Balance Volume)
Uses volume flow to determine if a trend is likely to continue. A rising OBV indicates bullish accumulation, while a falling OBV indicates bearish distribution.
Bias Zone Detection
The market sentiment is considered bullish if all three indicators (RSI, MACD, and OBV) are bullish, and bearish if all three indicators are bearish.
Bullish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bullish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
Bearish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bearish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
These bias zones are visually represented on the chart as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Breakout Detection
The script automatically detects when the market exits a bias zone. If the price moves outside the bounds of the established zone (either up or down), the script will display one of the following labels:
Bias Break (Up): Indicates that the price has broken upwards out of the zone (with a green label).
Bias Break (Down): Indicates that the price has broken downwards out of the zone (with a red label).
These labels help traders easily identify potential breakout points.
Example Use Case
Bullish Market Conditions: If the RSI is above 50, the MACD histogram is positive, and OBV is increasing, the script will highlight a green bias zone. Traders can watch for potential bullish breakouts or trend continuation after the zone ends.
Bearish Market Conditions: If the RSI is below 50, the MACD histogram is negative, and OBV is decreasing, the script will highlight a red bias zone. Traders can look for potential bearish breakouts when the zone ends.
Conclusion
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to visualize prolonged market sentiment, whether bullish or bearish. By combining RSI, MACD, and OBV, it helps traders spot when the market is "locked in" to a bias. The breakout labels make it easier to take action when the price moves outside of the established zone, potentially signaling the start of a new trend.
Instructions
To use this script:
Add the Frozen Bias Zones indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading strategy.
Observe the colored bias zones on your chart, along with breakout labels, to make informed decisions on trend continuation or reversal.

💡 Why It Matters
The classic MACD is powerful — but raw momentum values can be noisy and relative , especially on volatile assets like BTC/USD . By transforming the MACD line, signal line, and histogram into Z-scores , we anchor these signals in statistical context . This makes the Institutional MACD:
✔️ Timeframe-agnostic and asset-normalized
✔️ Ideal for spotting true breakouts , not false flags
✔️ A reliable tool for detecting momentum divergence and exhaustion
🧪 Key Features
✅ Full Z-Score normalization (MACD, Signal, Histogram)
✅ Highlighted ±Z threshold bands for overbought/oversold zones
✅ Customizable histogram coloring for visual momentum shifts
✅ Built-in alerts for zero-crosses and Z-threshold breaks
✅ Clean overlay with optional display toggles
🔁 Strategy Tip: Mean Reversion Signals with Statistical Confidence
This indicator isn't just for spotting breakouts — it also shines as a mean reversion tool , thanks to its Z-Score normalization .
When the Z-Score histogram crosses beyond ±2, it marks a statistically significant deviation from the mean — often signaling that momentum is overstretched and the asset may be due for a pullback or reversal .
📌 How to use it:
Z > +2 → Price action is in overbought territory. Watch for exhaustion or short setups.
Z < -2 → Momentum is deeply oversold. Look for reversal confirmation or long opportunities.
These zones often precede snap-back moves , especially in range-bound or corrective markets .
🎯 Combine Z-Score extremes with:
Candlestick confirmation
Support/resistance zones
Volume or price divergence
Other mean reversion tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands)
Unlike the raw MACD, this version delivers statistical thresholds , not guesswork — helping traders make decisions rooted in probability, not emotion.

Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods
- Look for volume breakouts or divergences
- Trade based on institutional participation levels
3. Mean Reversion Traders
Helps identify:
- Overextended volume conditions (potential reversals)
- Volume exhaustion points
- Return to normal volume levels after spikes
4. Momentum Traders
Useful for:
- Confirming trend strength through volume
- Identifying potential trend exhaustion
- Validating breakouts with volume confirmation
Advantages Over Traditional Volume Indicators
1. Contextual Analysis
- Shows relative strength rather than raw numbers
- Easier to compare across different time periods
- Automatically adjusts to changing market conditions
2. Period-Specific Insights
- Respects natural market cycles (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Special handling for NYSE trading days
- Eliminates weekend noise in stock market analysis
3. Flexible Visualization
- Three distinct coloring methods for different trading styles
- Clear reference line at 1.0 for quick analysis
- Histogram style for easy pattern recognition
Best Practices
For Day Traders
- Use Daily split for intraday volume patterns
- MA coloring mode with shorter periods (5-10)
- Focus on ratios during market hours
For Swing Traders
- Weekly or NYSE Weekly splits
- Longer MA periods (15-20)
- Look for sustained volume patterns
For Position Traders
- Monthly or Quarterly splits
- Candle color mode for trend confirmation
- Focus on major volume shifts
Limitations
- Requires one full period to establish baseline
- May be less effective in extremely low volume conditions
- NYSE Weekly mode specific to stock market hours
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that volume is a crucial component of price action but need a more sophisticated way to analyze it than simple volume bars. It's especially useful for those who trade based on market participation levels and need to quickly identify whether current volume is significant relative to recent history.
Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average [Alpha Extract]Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average (DAMA) 📊
The Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average (DAMA) indicator is an adaptive technical tool that automatically discovers the optimal moving average period based on forward-looking price behavior. Unlike traditional fixed-length moving averages, this indicator continuously evaluates multiple timeframes to identify which MA length most accurately predicts future price movement, creating a responsive trend line that adapts to changing market conditions.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator employs a dynamic optimization algorithm to select the most effective moving average:
• Period Testing: Evaluates MA lengths from 5 to 100 periods to find the optimal timeframe
• Predictive Error: Measures each MA's accuracy by comparing it to the actual price 5 bars in the future
• Trend Weighting: Incorporates Rate of Change (ROC) to give higher priority to trend-following capabilities
• Error Minimization: Selects the MA length with the lowest weighted predictive error
• Smoothing: Applies an exponential smoothing factor (0.2) to prevent erratic changes in the trend line
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
• Adaptive Trend Line: A yellow line representing the smoothed optimal moving average that dynamically adjusts its period
• Color-Coded Fills: Green areas when price is above the optimal MA (bullish), red when price is below (bearish)
• Opacity Gradient: Fill transparency provides visual context for the relationship between price and the trend line
• Real-Time Optimization Display: A table in the top-right corner shows the current optimal MA length
Interpretation:
• Bullish Signal: Price above the yellow DAMA line with green fill indicates upward momentum
• Bearish Signal: Price below the yellow DAMA line with red fill suggests downward pressure
• Trend Changes: Watch for crossovers between price and the DAMA for potential trend shifts
• Optimal Length Changes: Shorter optimal lengths may indicate trending markets, while longer lengths often appear in ranging conditions
🔶 EXAMPLES
The indicator demonstrates:
• Trend Identification: The DAMA hugs price more closely during trends while maintaining enough distance to filter noise
• Dynamic Adaptation: The MA length automatically adjusts shorter during strong trends and longer during consolidations
• Forward-Looking: By optimizing based on future price projection (5 bars), the indicator anticipates price movements better than traditional MAs
• Smooth Transitions: The smoothing algorithm prevents whipsaws while still allowing the MA to adapt to changing conditions
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
• Min/Max Length: Define the range of MA periods to test (default: 5-100)
• Step Size: Set the increment for testing different MA lengths (default: 1)
• Lookahead: Adjust the number of bars to project ahead for optimization (default: 5)
• Smoothing Factor: Control how quickly the MA adapts to new optimal lengths (default: 0.2)
The Dynamic Adaptive Moving Average (DAMA) indicator offers traders a sophisticated yet intuitive trend-following tool that eliminates the need to manually select MA periods.
Its self-optimizing algorithm continuously identifies the most effective moving average length based on actual price prediction accuracy, making it valuable for various trading strategies across different market environments and timeframes.
Parabolic RSI [ChartPrime]The Parabolic RSI indicator applies the Parabolic SAR directly to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) . This combination helps traders identify trend shifts and potential reversal points within the RSI framework. The indicator provides both regular and strong signals based on whether the Parabolic SAR crosses above or below key RSI thresholds.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Parabolic SAR Applied to RSI – Tracks momentum shifts within the RSI indicator.
Dynamic SAR Dots – Plots SAR levels directly on the RSI for visual clarity.
Threshold-Based Signal Filtering – Uses upper (70) and lower (30) RSI levels to determine strong signals.
Simple and Strong Signal System :
Big Diamonds (Strong Signals) – Appear when Parabolic SAR crosses above 70 or below 30 RSI, indicating potential reversals.
Small Diamonds (Regular Signals) – Appear when Parabolic SAR flips inside the RSI range, signaling weaker trend shifts.
Chart Overlay Signals – Highlights strong RSI-based trend shifts directly on the price chart.
Fully Customizable – Modify RSI length, SAR parameters, colors, and signal displays.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Look for strong signals (big diamonds) when SAR flips above 70 RSI (overbought) or below 30 RSI (oversold) for potential reversals.
Use regular signals (small diamonds) for minor trend shifts within the RSI range.
Combine with price action and other indicators to confirm entry and exit points.
Adjust the SAR acceleration factors to fine-tune sensitivity based on market conditions.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Parabolic RSI indicator merges trend-following and momentum-based analysis by applying the Parabolic SAR to RSI. This allows traders to detect trend shifts inside the RSI space with an intuitive diamond-based signal system . Whether used alone or as part of a broader trading strategy, this indicator provides a clear and structured approach to identifying momentum reversals and potential trading opportunities.
3CRGANG - Histogram (Basic)This indicator provides traders with a unified view of momentum by combining multiple classic oscillators into a single histogram. By aggregating momentum signals into one visual output, it simplifies trend analysis, helping traders identify momentum shifts without managing multiple indicators separately.
What It Does
The 3CRGANG - Histogram (Basic) calculates a momentum-based histogram using a user-selected oscillator (e.g., RSI, MACD, MFI, RVI, Stochastic, Stochastic RSI, or TMASlope). The histogram is plotted with color-coded bars to indicate bullish, bearish, or neutral momentum, alongside predefined alert levels and a trend status table for quick reference.
Why It’s Useful
This script addresses the challenge of monitoring multiple momentum indicators by consolidating them into a single histogram. Each oscillator measures momentum differently (e.g., RSI tracks price strength, MACD focuses on moving average convergence, MFI incorporates volume), but the script normalizes these signals into a unified output. This reduces chart clutter and provides a clear, actionable signal for identifying trend direction, making it easier for traders to focus on key momentum shifts across various market conditions.
How It Works
The script follows these steps to generate the histogram:
Oscillator Selection: Traders choose one oscillator to base the histogram on. For example: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, MACD tracks the relationship between two exponential moving averages, and MFI combines price and volume to measure buying/selling pressure. The choice of oscillator affects the histogram’s sensitivity to price movements.
Fast Oscillator Calculation: A fast-moving oscillator is computed using the selected method over a user-defined period (default: 8 bars). For instance, RSI calculates the relative strength of price gains versus losses, while MACD computes the difference between short and long EMAs. The result is normalized to a range centered around zero.
Histogram Plotting: The oscillator’s output is adjusted by a modification factor (default: 1) for sensitivity tuning and plotted as a histogram. Positive values indicate bullish momentum, negative values indicate bearish momentum, and values near zero suggest a lack of clear trend.
Color Coding: Bars are colored based on momentum and price direction: green for bullish momentum (price moving upward, histogram value typically positive), red for bearish momentum (price moving downward, histogram value typically negative), and grey for neutral momentum (ranging conditions or unclear trend).
Alert Levels: Predefined buy and sell levels are plotted as dotted lines to mark significant momentum thresholds. For most oscillators, levels are set at 20 (buy) and -20 (sell), representing overbought/oversold conditions based on historical performance. For TMASlope, levels are adjusted to 0.04 and -0.04, as it measures the slope of a triangular moving average relative to the average true range (ATR).
Trend Table: A table in the top-right corner displays the current timeframe’s trend status ("Buy Only," "Sell Only," or "Ranging") based on the histogram value, price direction, and alert levels, along with the histogram’s numerical value.
Underlying Concepts
The script is built on the concept of momentum aggregation, aiming to capture short-term price dynamics while filtering noise. By using a fast-moving oscillator, it emphasizes recent price action, and the histogram format provides a visual summary of momentum strength. The alert levels are derived from typical overbought/oversold thresholds for each oscillator, adjusted to ensure consistency across different methods. The trend table adds a layer of interpretation, helping traders quickly assess whether the momentum aligns with the broader trend.
Use Case
Trending Markets: In a bullish trend, green bars above the buy alert level (e.g., 20) indicate strong upward momentum, suggesting potential long entries. In a bearish trend, red bars below the sell alert level (e.g., -20) suggest short opportunities.
Ranging Markets: Grey bars or values between alert levels indicate a lack of clear momentum, prompting caution or scalping strategies.
Confirmation Tool: Use the histogram to confirm price action signals, such as breakouts or reversals, by ensuring momentum aligns with the direction of the move. For example, a breakout with green bars above the buy level may signal a stronger trend.
Settings
Choose Type: Select the oscillator to use (default: RSI - CLASSIC).
Source: Choose between Close or HL2 price data (default: Close).
Histogram Length: Set the period for oscillator calculation (options: 5, 8, 13; default: 8).
Modification Factor: Adjust the sensitivity of the histogram (default: 1).
Notes
The script supports classic oscillators only and operates on the current timeframe.
If volume data is unavailable for your ticker, MFI calculations may not work; select another oscillator to continue plotting.

SuperTrend Momentum OscillatorOverview
The SuperTrend Momentum Oscillator (SMO) is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify trend direction and strength in financial markets. It combines short-term and long-term oscillator calculations to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions through an intuitive candle-based visualization system.
Key Features
Dual-period oscillator system (short-term and long-term)
Candle-based visualization showing trend direction and alignment
Color-coded trend direction based on the main (slower) trend line
Candle size reflecting alignment between fast and slow components
High-confidence "Super" signals (green diamonds for buys, purple diamonds for sells)
Market liquidity insights through oscillator readings
Understanding the Candle Visualization
Main Trend vs. Fast Money
The SMO uses two key components that work together:
Main Trend Line (Slower): The longer-period oscillator that acts as the primary trend indicator
Dictates the overall color of the candles (green for uptrend, red for downtrend)
Represents the dominant market direction
Fast Line (Quicker): The shorter-period oscillator that reacts more quickly to price changes
Helps determine the size of candles through its alignment with the main trend
Represents "fast money" or shorter-term price reactions
Candle Components and Their Meaning
1. Candle Color
The color of each candle is determined by the direction of the main trend line:
Green Candles: Main trend line is rising (bullish)
Indicates an overall uptrend regardless of short-term fluctuations
Remains green even when the fast line temporarily moves against the trend
Red Candles: Main trend line is falling (bearish)
Indicates an overall downtrend regardless of short-term fluctuations
Remains red even when the fast line temporarily moves against the trend
2. Candle Body Size
The body size of each candle represents the alignment between fast and main trend lines:
Large Bodies: Both fast and main trend lines are moving in the same direction
Trading Action: Strong confirmation of the trend direction
Confidence Level: High confidence signals
Small Bodies: Fast line is moving against the main trend line
Trading Action: Exercise caution; potential for temporary pullback or consolidation
Confidence Level: Lower confidence in immediate continuation
3. Wick Length
Wicks (shadows) provide additional information about price rejection and volatility:
Long Wicks: Indicate price rejection and potential volatility
Trading Action: Be cautious of trend continuation when long wicks appear
Confidence Level: Reduced confidence in immediate trend continuation
Short Wicks: Indicate strong directional control with minimal rejection
Trading Action: More confidence in trend continuation
Confidence Level: Higher confidence in the current trend direction
Candle Patterns Over Time
The progression of candles provides valuable trend information:
Large Green Candles: Main trend is up and fast line confirms (strong bullish)
Trading Action: Consider entering or adding to long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence in uptrend
Small Green Candles: Main trend is up but fast line is moving down (caution in uptrend)
Trading Action: Hold existing long positions but wait before adding
Confidence Level: Moderate confidence in uptrend, possible short-term pullback
Large Red Candles: Main trend is down and fast line confirms (strong bearish)
Trading Action: Consider entering or adding to short positions
Confidence Level: High confidence in downtrend
Small Red Candles: Main trend is down but fast line is moving up (caution in downtrend)
Trading Action: Hold existing short positions but wait before adding
Confidence Level: Moderate confidence in downtrend, possible short-term bounce
Super Signals - High Confidence Trading Opportunities
The SMO focuses exclusively on high-confidence "Super" signals:
Green Diamond Super Buy Signals
Meaning: Both short-term and long-term oscillators are generating buy signals simultaneously
Visual Indicator: Green diamond markers at the bottom of the indicator (0 level)
Trading Action: Strong entry signal for long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence signal, especially when accompanied by large green candles
Purple Diamond Super Sell Signals
Meaning: Both short-term and long-term oscillators are generating sell signals simultaneously
Visual Indicator: Purple diamond markers at the top of the indicator (100 level)
Trading Action: Strong entry signal for short positions or exit signal for long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence signal, especially when accompanied by large red candles
Market Liquidity Concept
The SMO provides a unique perspective on market conditions that goes beyond traditional oscillator interpretations:
Low Oscillator Readings (Below 20)
When the oscillator shows low readings (below 20), this indicates:
Traditional interpretation: Market is oversold, potential for upward reversal
Liquidity interpretation: Insufficient money in the market
This suggests thin trading conditions where large orders may have outsized impact
Price movements may be more erratic and less predictable
Breakouts may lack follow-through due to insufficient participation
High Oscillator Readings (Above 80)
When the oscillator shows high readings (above 80), this indicates:
Traditional interpretation: Market is overbought, potential for downward reversal
Liquidity interpretation: Abundant money in the market
This suggests deep trading conditions with high participation
Price movements tend to be more orderly and trend-based
Breakouts may have stronger follow-through due to high participation
Trading Strategies with SMO
Strategy 1: Main Trend with Alignment Confirmation
This strategy uses the main trend direction with alignment confirmation:
Entry Criteria:
Main trend direction is established (green or red candles)
Fast line aligns with main trend (large candles)
Super signal confirms (green or purple diamond)
Exit Criteria:
For long positions: When candles turn red or Super Sell signal appears
For short positions: When candles turn green or Super Buy signal appears
Stop Loss Placement:
For long positions: Below recent swing low
For short positions: Above recent swing high
Strategy 2: Counter-Trend Opportunity Detection
This strategy identifies potential counter-trend opportunities:
Entry Criteria:
Small candles appear (indicating disagreement between fast and main trend lines)
Oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 80 or below 20)
Wait for candle color change before entering
Position Sizing:
Use smaller position sizes for counter-trend trades
Increase size only when main trend confirms the new direction
Exit Criteria:
Take profit at the first sign of alignment in the opposite direction
Use tighter stops than with trend-following trades
Strategy 3: Market Liquidity Strategy
This strategy incorporates the market liquidity concept:
For Low Liquidity Conditions (Readings below 20):
Wait for Super Buy signals (green diamond)
Use smaller position sizes
Be prepared for potentially erratic price movements
Look for signs of increasing liquidity (expanding candle bodies) before adding to positions
For High Liquidity Conditions (Readings above 80):
Consider holding positions longer despite "overbought" readings
Use trailing stops to capture extended moves
Be aware that trends may persist longer than expected
Practical Trading Scenarios
Scenario 1: Strong Trend Confirmation
Candle Pattern: Series of large green candles (main trend up, fast line confirms)
Signal: Green diamond Super Buy marker at the bottom (0 level)
Background: Intensifying green gradient
Action: Enter long position with confidence
Stop Loss: Below recent swing low
Take Profit: When candles become small or turn red
Scenario 2: Trend Weakening Detection
Candle Pattern: Green candles becoming smaller (main trend still up, but fast line diverging)
Signal: No new signals
Background: Fading green gradient
Action: Tighten stops on long positions, prepare for potential reversal
Reasoning: Fast money is starting to move against the main trend
Scenario 3: Trend Reversal Identification
Candle Pattern: Transition from small green candles to red candles (main trend changing)
Signal: Appearance of purple diamond Super Sell marker at the top (100 level)
Background: Changing from green to red gradient
Action: Exit long positions and potentially enter short positions
Timing: Most effective when reversal occurs near overbought (80) level

BB Breakout + Momentum Squeeze [Strategy]This Strategy is Based on 3 free indicators
- Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator: Link
- TTM Squeeze Pro: Link
- Rolling ATR Bands: Link
Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator - This tool shows how strong a market trend is by measuring how often prices move outside their normal Bollinger bands range. It helps you see whether prices are strongly moving in one direction or just moving sideways. By looking at how much and how frequently prices push beyond their typical boundaries, you can identify which direction the market is heading over your selected time period.
TM Squeeze Pro - This is a custom version of the TTM Squeeze indicator.
It's designed to help traders spot consolidation phases in the market (when price is coiling or "squeezing") and to catch breakouts early when volatility returns. The logic is based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, combined with a momentum oscillator to show direction and strength.
Rolling ATR Bands - This indicator combines volatility bands (ATR) with momentum and trend signals to show where the market might be breaking out, retesting, or trending. It's highly visual and helpful for traders looking to time entries/exits during trending or volatile moves.
Logic Of the Strategy:
We are going to use the Bollinger Bands Breakout to determine the direction of the market. Than check the Volatility of the price by looking at the TTM Squeeze indicator. And use the ATR Bands to determine dynamic Stop Losses and based on the calculate the Take Profit targets and quantity for each position dynamically.
For the Long Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bull Power (Green line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
For the Short Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bear Power (Red line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
Stop Loss is determined by the Lower ATR Band (for the Long entry) and Upper ATR Band (For the Short entry)
Take Profit is 1:1.5 risk reward ration, which means if the Stop loss is 1% the TP target will be 1.5%
Move stop Loss to Breakeven: If the price will go in the direction of the trade for at least half of the Risk Reward target then the stop will automatically be adjusted to the entry price. For Example: the Stop Loss is 1%, the price has move at least 0.5% in the direction of your trade and that will move the Stop Loss level to the Entry point.
You can Adjust the parameters for each indicator used in that script and also adjust the Risk and Money management block to see how the PnL will change.
Balancelink : SMI-Optimal Stopping 1.0Core Components
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Calculation:
The indicator computes the SMI on both the current and a dynamically selected lower timeframe. By applying exponential and simple moving averages, it derives smoothed SMI values along with an EMA signal line. Crossovers between these smoothed values serve as primary triggers for long and short entry signals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
A helper function automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe based on the chart’s current resolution. This allows the indicator to fine-tune its calculations for more precise momentum detection.
Dynamic Volatility Metrics:
It computes session-based statistics such as mean percentage changes and percentile levels. These statistics are then used in further calculations to estimate key metrics (e.g., “Global maximum bar” counts) that contribute to stop-loss and trend estimations.
Advanced Momentum and Stop-Loss Logic
Momentum Pattern Detection:
Using linear regression on price data (through a variable referred to as “vax”), the script detects distinct momentum patterns. It identifies local tops and bottoms, which can be visualized on the chart with optional markers.
Adaptive Stop-Loss Setting:
When a specific momentum pattern is recognized and confirmed by RSI conditions, the script calculates an optimal stop-loss level based on the current bar’s high and session volatility metrics. It then dynamically plots a stop-loss line along with an informative label displaying details such as:
The determined stop-loss level.
Global session statistics (e.g., the number of bars representing maximum momentum shifts).
RSI values and estimated trend, rebound, and reverse bar counts.
Alert Integration:
The script is set up to trigger alerts when key conditions are met (both for RSI below 65 and above 65), ensuring that traders are notified of potential reversal points or momentum shifts.
Customization Options
Visual Controls:
Users can toggle the display of momentum markers and labels, providing flexibility to either see a detailed breakdown on the chart or maintain a cleaner view.
Alert Conditions:
Predefined alert conditions based on the interplay between momentum patterns and RSI levels allow for real-time notifications, making it easier to manage trades without constant monitoring.

- Green Background: ATR Delta is positive (rising volatility)
- Red Background: ATR Delta is negative (falling volatility)
🔵 Optional: ATR Reference Lines
- You can optionally display raw Current ATR and Past ATR by changing their visibility settings.
---
✅ How to Use It
Entry Timing (Futures/Options)
- Use ATR Delta as a filter:
- Only take trades when ATR Delta is positive → confirms momentum is building
- Avoid trades when ATR Delta is negative → market might be slow, sideways, or losing steam
Breakout Anticipation
- A rising ATR Delta after a tight range or consolidation can suggest that a breakout is underway
Stop-loss Strategy
- Use high ATR periods for wider stops (to avoid noise)
- Use low ATR periods for tighter stops or skip trading
---
🧠 Pro Tips
- This indicator doesn’t predict direction—combine with trend or price structure tools (like EMA, PPMA, candlesticks)
- Works best in trending or breakout environments
- Add it to multi-timeframe layouts to see volatility buildup on higher timeframes

Rolling ATR Momentum - EnhancedATR Rolling Momentum Indicator – User Manual
---
🔍 Overview
The ATR Rolling Momentum Indicator is a dynamic volatility tool built on the Average True Range (ATR). It not only tracks increasing or decreasing momentum but also provides early warnings and confirmation signals for potential breakout moves. It’s especially powerful for futures and options traders looking to align with expanding price action.
---
📊 Core Components
✅ ATR Delta (Rolling ATR)
- Definition: Difference between current ATR and past ATR (user-defined lookback).
- Use: Tells whether volatility is expanding (positive delta) or contracting (negative delta).
- Visual: Green line for rising momentum, red for declining.
🟣 ATR Delta Slope
- Definition: Measures acceleration in momentum.
- Use: Helps identify early signs of breakout buildup.
- Visual: Purple line. Watch for slope turning up from below.
🟡 Volatility Squeeze (Yellow Dot)
- Definition: Current ATR is significantly lower than its 20-period average.
- Use: Indicates the market is coiling—possible breakout ahead.
🔼 Momentum Start (Green Triangle)
- Definition: ATR Delta slope turns from negative to positive.
- Use: Early warning to prepare for volatility expansion.
🔷 Breakout Confirmation (Blue Label Up)
- Definition: ATR Delta exceeds its high of the last 10 candles.
- Use: Confirms volatility breakout—trade opportunity if direction aligns.
🟩/🟥 Background Color
- Green Background: Momentum rising (positive ATR delta)
- Red Background: Momentum falling (negative ATR delta)
- Yellow Tint: Active squeeze zone
---
✅ How to Use It (Futures/Options Focus)
Step-by-Step:
1. Squeeze Detected (Yellow Dot) → Stay alert. Market is coiling.
2. Green Triangle Appears → Momentum is starting to rise.
3. Background Turns Green → Confirmed rising momentum.
4. Blue Label Appears → Confirmed breakout (enter trade if trend aligns).
Directional Bias:
- Use your main chart setup (price action, EMAs, trendlines, etc.) to decide direction (Call or Put, Long or Short).
- ATR Momentum only tells you how strong the move is—not which way.
---
⚙️ Inputs & Settings
- ATR Period: Default 14 (core volatility measure)
- Rolling Lookback: Used to calculate delta (default 5)
- Slope Length: Used to measure acceleration (default 3)
- Squeeze Factor: Default 0.8 — lower = more sensitive squeeze detection
- Breakout Lookback: Checks ATR delta against last X bars (default 10)
---
🧠 Pro Tips
- Works great when paired with EMA stacks, price structure, or breakout patterns.
- Avoid taking trades based only on squeeze or momentum—combine with chart confirmation.
- If background turns red after a breakout, it may be losing momentum—book partials or tighten stops.
---
🧭 Ideal For:
- Nifty/BankNifty Futures
- Option directional trades (call/put buying)
- Index scalping and momentum swing setups
---
Use this tool as your volatility compass—it won't tell you where to go, but it'll tell you when the wind is strong enough to move fast.

It is designed to help traders quickly assess the market’s current condition and make more informed decisions about potential trend shifts.
Key Features and Functionality
Composite Signal System
Multi-Faceted Approach :
The indicator combines insights from three distinct market signals into one composite score. This approach provides a more holistic view of market conditions compared to relying on a single indicator.

Early Signals : When two out of the three conditions are met, offering an early hint of a potential trend.
Neutral/Choppy : When conditions are ambiguous or conflicting, suggesting a lack of clear market direction.
Trend Qualifiers :
In addition to the composite score, the indicator subtly refines its signal by noting whether a trend is “Rising” or “Fading.” This further aids traders in understanding the momentum behind the signal.
Dynamic Signal Identification
Timely Alerts :
By analyzing the composite data in real time, the indicator quickly identifies when market conditions shift, offering early warning signals that help traders stay ahead of the market.
Adaptive Analysis :
The built-in signal assessment continuously monitors market changes. Whether the market is in the early stages of a move or firmly committed to a trend, TriTrend Nexus adapts its messaging to reflect the evolving conditions.

With multiple adjustable parameters, users can fine-tune the indicator to respond precisely to their preferred timeframes and market conditions. This adaptability makes TriTrend Nexus a versatile tool for various trading strategies.
Benefits for Traders
Quick and Informed Decision-Making :
With a single glance at the dashboard and visual cues from the oscillator, traders can quickly gauge whether the market is poised for a strong move, is in the early stages of a trend, or is too volatile for clear signals. This helps in planning timely entries and exits.
Enhanced Market Insight :
By integrating multiple perspectives into one coherent score, the indicator filters out market noise and highlights the prevailing trend more reliably. This can be particularly useful during periods of market uncertainty.
Reduced Analysis Time:
The combination of clear, color-coded signals and an intuitive dashboard reduces the time spent analyzing various individual indicators, allowing traders to focus more on strategy execution.

🔷 How to Use Squeeze Momentum Pro
🔍 Identifying Trends
Squeeze Momentum Pro supports two different methods for identifying the trend visually, each based on a distinct logic:
Squeeze Momentum Trend (LazyBear-style):
Displays 3 states based on the position of the Bollinger Bands relative to the Keltner Channel:
🔵 Blue = No Squeeze (BB outside KC and KC outside BB)
⚪️ White = Squeeze Active (BB fully inside KC)
⚫️ Gray = Neutral state (none of the above)
TTM Squeeze Trend (John Carter-style):
Calculates the difference in width between the Bollinger Bands and the Keltner Channel:
🟩 Green = BB width is greater than KC → potential expansion phase
🟥 Red = BB are tighter than KC → possible compression or pre-breakout
📈 Interpreting Signals
Depending on the active configuration, the indicator can provide various signals, including:
Trend color → Reflects the current compression/expansion state (based on selected mode)
Momentum value (above or below 0) → May indicate directional pressure
Signal Line cross → Can highlight momentum shifts
Color change in the momentum → May suggest a potential trend reversal
🛠 Integration with Other Tools
Squeeze Momentum Pro works well alongside other indicators to strengthen market context:
✅ Volume Profile / OBV – Helps confirm accumulation or distribution during squeezes
✅ RSI – Useful to detect divergence between momentum and price
✅ Moving Averages – Ideal for defining primary trend direction and filtering signals
