Hophop Multiple Timeframe Momentum GridThis indicator is intended to highlight the over bought and over sold momentums for multiple timeframe
As of now it only supports StochRSI and also a variation of it that is more responsive than StochRsi called HophopRsi, I might consider adding more momentum indicators if it is desired
All the needed variables for StochRsi are included as the original indicator, feel free to change them as you normally do on StochRsi
On top of that you can select up to 4 higher timeframe , just make sure that your current timeframe is the smallest one
The top line of the graph shows the current timeframe momentum
1st line = high timeframe 1
2st line = high timeframe 2
3st line = high timeframe 3
4st line = high timeframe 4

Compare - Oscillator vs BTC momentumI've made a simple indicator to compare the momentum of a trading pair against the momentum of BTC to the dollar. I use it to see how a pair is affected by BTC's momentum... I wouldnt use it to trade off alone, but it can be a useful tool alongside other indicators.
The time range can be adjusted, but I wouldnt reccomend setting it to anything over 12M, or under 1W.... as I'm not sure if it would work.
Any feedback is welcome!
This is an idea I had after looking at a wonderful visualisation made by BarclayJames, link below:
www.tradingview.com
Directional Trend Index (DTI) This technique was described by William Blau in his book "Momentum,
Direction and Divergence" (1995). His book focuses on three key aspects
of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical
engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between
price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks
at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques,
including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the
intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and
non-trending periods.
Directional Trend Index is an indicator similar to DM+ developed by Welles Wilder.
The DM+ (a part of Directional Movement System which includes both DM+ and
DM- indicators) indicator helps determine if a security is "trending." William
Blau added to it a zeroline, relative to which the indicator is deemed positive or
negative. A stable uptrend is a period when the DTI value is positive and rising, a
downtrend when it is negative and falling.

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Overview
The MMPD 3.0 indicator is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines market structure analysis with institutional order flow concepts. It transforms price action into a normalized 0-100 scale, identifying premium and discount zones where institutional traders typically operate, while simultaneously tracking momentum through specialized body close candles and multi-timeframe synchronization.
This indicator is designed for traders who want to:
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Identify high-probability reversal zones using premium/discount analysis
Track momentum divergence between price and the MMPD oscillator
Recognize institutional rejection and acceptance zones
Synchronize multiple timeframes for confluence-based trading decisions
Core Methodology
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MMPD Calculation
The Market Delta Momentum indicator uses a proprietary calculation that:
Normalizes price position within a specific period range (0-100 scale)
Applies double smoothing to filter noise
Calculates a balance line (similar to a moving average) to determine bullish/bearish momentum
The relationship between the MMPD line and balance line creates directional candles
Key Zones:
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
90-100: Extreme Premium (Institutional Selling Zone)
80-90: High Premium (Caution Zone)
65-80: Premium (Bullish Bias)
50-65: Light Premium (Neutral-Bullish)
35-50: Light Discount (Neutral-Bearish)
20-35: Discount (Bearish Bias)
10-20: High Discount (Institutional Buying Zone)
0-10: Extreme Discount (High Probability Buy Zone)
MMM 3.0 Body Close Logic BC and the MMPD 3.0 Body Close Logic MBC
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1️⃣ Body Close Analysis (BC & MBC)
Price Body Close (BC)
Bullish BC: Price closes above the previous high AND closes above its open (green candle showing aggressive buying)
Bearish BC: Price closes below the previous low AND closes below its open (red candle showing aggressive selling)
No Body Close (NBC): All other candles - representing consolidation, pause, or loss of momentum
MMPD Body Close (MBC)
Bullish MBC: MMPD closes higher than previous MMPD structure (continuation or reversal momentum)
Bearish MBC: MMPD closes lower than previous MMPD structure (continuation or reversal momentum)
MNBC: MMPD No Body Close - weak or ranging MMPD momentum
BC + MBC Confirmation
When Price BC and MMPD MBC align in the same direction, it signals high-conviction momentum:
Deep Green: Bullish BC + Bullish MBC (Strongest Bullish Signal)
Pale Green: Bullish BC only (Moderate Bullish Signal)
Deep Red: Bearish BC + Bearish MBC (Strongest Bearish Signal)
Pale Pink: Bearish BC only (Moderate Bearish Signal)
2️⃣ Momentum Synchronization System
The indicator compares MBC (MMPD Body Close) momentum against BC (Price Body Close) momentum to identify divergence and synchronization:
Synchronized States:
BULLISH+: High volatility bullish synchronization (BC+MBC aligned, high ATR)
BULLISH-: Low volatility bullish synchronization (BC+MBC aligned, low ATR)
BEARISH+: High volatility bearish synchronization (BC+MBC aligned, high ATR)
BEARISH-: Low volatility bearish synchronization (BC+MBC aligned, low ATR)
SYNCHRONIZED: Both MMPD and Price moving together (standard bullish or bearish move)
Divergence States (Reversal Warnings):
MMPD FAST | PRICE SLOW: MMPD showing strong directional MBC candles while Price shows NBC (pause/consolidation) - Reversal Warning!
If MMPD is bullish MBC but Price is NBC → Potential Bearish Reversal
If MMPD is bearish MBC but Price is NBC → Potential Bullish Reversal
Status Indicators:
BULL / BEAR: Standard synchronized moves
BULL+ / BEAR+: High volatility synchronized moves (aggressive trending)
BULL- / BEAR-: Low volatility synchronized moves (grinding trends)
POT. BULL / POT. BEAR: Potential reversal zones (divergence detected)
BALANCED: Neutral conditions, no clear momentum alignment which is price efficiency
3️⃣ Premium/Discount Breakout Markers
🔴 Red Circle Dots (Premium Exit)
Appears when MMPD closes below 80 after being completely in the 80-100 extreme premium zone
Signals institutional distribution complete, potential reversal or correction
🟢 Green Circle Dots (Discount Exit)
Appears when MMPD closes above 20 after being completely in the 0-20 extreme discount zone
Signals institutional accumulation complete, potential rally or reversal
🔴 Red Squares (Premium Rejection)
Appears on the first candle that fails to touch 80-100 after a Bullish MBC touched that zone
Indicates rejection of premium pricing, bearish signal
🟢 Green Squares (Discount Rejection)
Appears on the first candle that fails to touch 0-20 after a Bearish MBC touched that zone
Indicates rejection of discount pricing, bullish signal
🔻 Red Triangles Down (Bearish Midline Rejection)
Signals potential bearish Resumption
🔺 Green Triangles Up (Bullish Midline Bounce)
Signals potential Bullish Resumption
4️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Dashboard with Candle time to close
The MTF table displays:
6 customizable timeframes (default: 5min, 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly)
Premium/Discount Status with color-coded zones for each timeframe
Time to Close (T2C): Live countdown timer for each timeframe candle close
Red warning color when the candle closing time is imminent
4H timeframe auto-detects exchange-specific session starts (ES, NQ, CL, GC, etc.)
Momentum Sync Status: Shows the current synchronization state between MMPD and Price across the chart timeframe
Color Coding:
Premium zones: Green/Cyan colors
Discount zones: Purple/Magenta colors
Intensity increases with extremeness (darker = more extreme)
5️⃣ Delta MMPD Alternative View
Toggle between two oscillator calculations:
MMPD: Original MMPD
Delta MMPD: Volume-weighted delta calculation emphasizing buying/selling pressure
TIPS
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Use Multi-Timeframe Confluence: The strongest signals occur when multiple timeframes align in premium/discount zones
Wait for Body Close Confirmation: BC+MBC alignment = highest probability setups
Respect Momentum Sync Warnings: "MMPD FAST | PRICE SLOW" is a critical reversal warning
Trade Premium → Discount or Discount → Premium: Mean reversion from extremes offers best risk/reward
Combine with Price Action: MMPD is a momentum oscillator - always confirm with price structure (support/resistance, trendlines, chart patterns)
Educational Notes
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What is Premium/Discount Pricing?
Institutional traders operate based on value zones:
Premium: Price is expensive relative to recent range - institutions distribute (sell)
Discount: Price is cheap relative to recent range - institutions accumulate (buy)
Fair Value (50 line): Equilibrium pricing where institutions pause
MMM 3.0 Body Close Approach Importance
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BC (Body Close): Shows price commitment and aggressivity
NBC (No Body Close): Shows indecision, consolidation, or loss of momentum
Consecutive BC candles = strong momentum
NBC candles breaking BC sequence = momentum loss → potential reversal
Momentum Synchronization Theory
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When MMPD (momentum) moves aggressively but Price shows NBC (pause), it indicates:
Momentum exhaustion
Smart money distribution/accumulation
Imminent reversal as retail traders get trapped

VALDEX-H + Squeeze MomentumVALDEX H-SQ: The Harmonized Momentum & Trend Engine
The VALDEX H-SQ is a powerful combined indicator engineered to provide traders with clear, synchronized signals for both market momentum and trend confirmation, all within a single, visually harmonized pane.
This script fuses two robust components: the Squeeze Momentum Indicator (modified and scaled) and the Heikin-Ashi RSI (HARSI) method, offering a high-contrast view of market dynamics.
⭐ Key Features & Components
📈 Scaled Squeeze Momentum: The primary engine for market compression and release. It clearly shows when volatility has been squeezed out (potential for a large move) and the direction of the momentum acceleration/deceleration.
Bright Colors (Green/Red): Indicate Accelerating Momentum (High confidence entry).
Dark Colors (Dark Green/Dark Red): Indicate Decelerating Momentum (Signal to manage or consider exit).
📊 VALDEX-H Candles (Heikin-Ashi RSI): These unique candles provide clear trend confirmation by plotting the RSI smoothed and translated into a Heikin-Ashi format.
Teal/Green Candles: Confirms a strong Uptrend.
Red/Maroon Candles: Confirms a strong Downtrend.
🔵 RSI Overlay Line: A smoothed RSI line is plotted on top of the Squeeze histogram, offering a precise view of the overall trend strength and potential turning points.
✅ Harmonized Scaling: Both the Squeeze Momentum and the VALDEX-H components have been custom-scaled to the ±30 range, ensuring visual coherence and making it easy to compare the strength of momentum release against the underlying trend.
🔔 How to Use VALDEX H-SQ
The most reliable signals are generated by combining the two components:
LONG Entry Signal (Buy): Look for the Squeeze Momentum crossing above zero with the color switching to Bright Green (Accelerating Positive Momentum) AND the VALDEX-H Candles turning Teal/Green.
SHORT Entry Signal (Sell): Look for the Squeeze Momentum crossing below zero with the color switching to Bright Red (Accelerating Negative Momentum) AND the VALDEX-H Candles turning Red/Maroon.
Exit/Profit Taking: Consider exiting when the Squeeze momentum color shifts from Bright (Accelerating) to Dark (Decelerating), indicating momentum exhaustion.
This is the ultimate tool for traders who demand clarity, precision, and visual harmony in their momentum and trend analysis.
Luminous Glide Momentum Indicator [wjdtks255]This indicator, named "Customized SuperSmoother MA Oscillator," applies a smoothing filter to price data using a SuperSmoother technique to reduce noise and enhance signal clarity. It calculates two moving averages on the smoothed data—a fast and a slow—whose difference forms the oscillator line. A signal line is derived by smoothing the oscillator with another moving average. The histogram visualizes the divergence between the oscillator and signal lines, indicating momentum strength and direction.
How it works
SuperSmoother Filter: Reduces price noise to provide smoother and more reliable signals than raw data.
Fast and Slow Moving Averages: The fast MA reacts quicker to price changes, while the slow MA indicates longer trends.
Oscillator: The difference between the fast and slow MAs signals shifts in momentum.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the oscillator used to generate crossovers.
Histogram: Displays the distance between the oscillator and signal line, with color changes indicating bullish or bearish momentum.
Trading Strategy
Buy Signal: When the oscillator crosses above the signal line, it suggests increasing upward momentum, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Signal: When the oscillator crosses below the signal line, it suggests increasing downward momentum, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
Histogram Size and Color: Larger green bars indicate stronger bullish momentum; larger red bars indicate stronger bearish momentum.
Usage Tips
Combine this oscillator with other indicators or price action analysis to confirm trading signals.
Adjust smoothing and moving average lengths according to your trading timeframe and the asset volatility.
Use proper risk management to filter out potential false signals common in oscillators.
[AS] MACD-v & Hist [Alex Spiroglou | S.M.A.R.T. TRADER SYSTEMS] MACD-v & MACD-v Histogram
=======================================
Volatility Normalised Momentum 📈
Twice Awarded Indicator 🏆
=======================================
=======================================
✅ 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE MACD-v ✅
=======================================
I created the MACD-v in 2015,
as a way to deal with the limitations
of well known indicators like the Stochastic, RSI, MACD.
I decided to publicly share a very small part of my research
in the form of a research paper I wrote in 2022,
titled "MACD-v: Volatility Normalised Momentum".
That paper was awarded twice:
1. The "Charles H. Dow" Award (2022),
for outstanding research in Technical Analysis,
by the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)
2. The "Founders" Award (2022),
for advances in Active Investment Management,
by the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM)
=======================================
===================================================
❌ 2. WHY CREATE THE MACD-v ?
THE LIMITATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL MOMENTUM INDICATORS
====================================================
Technical Analysis indicators focused on momentum,
come in two general categories,
each with its own set of limitations:
(i) Range Bound Oscillators (RSI, Stochastics, etc)
These usually have a scaling of 0-100,
and thus have the advantage of having normalised readings,
that are comparable across time and securities.
However they have the following limitations (among others):
1. Skewing effect of steep trends
2. Indicator values do not adjust with and reflect true momentum
(indicator values are capped to 100)
(ii) Unbound Oscillators (MACD, RoC, etc)
These are boundless indicators,
and can expand with the market,
without being limited by a 0-100 scaling,
and thus have the advantage of really measuring momentum.
They have the main following limitations (among others):
1. Subjectivity of overbought / oversold levels
2. Not comparable across time
3. Not comparable across securities
=======================================
=======================================
💡 3. THE SOLUTION TO SOLVE THESE LIMITATIONS
=======================================
In order to deal with these limitations,
I decided to create an indicator,
that would be the "Best of two worlds".
A unique & hybrid indicator,
that would have objective normalised readings
(similar to Range Bound Oscillators - RSI)
but would also be able to have no upper/lower boundaries
(similar to Unbound Oscillators - MACD).
This would be achieved by "normalising" a boundless oscillator (MACD)
=======================================
==================================================
⛔ 4. DEEP DIVE INTO THE 5 LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD
==================================================
A Bloomberg study found that the MACD
is the most popular indicator after the RSI,
but the MACD has 5 BIG limitations.
Limitation 1: MACD values are not comparable across Time
The raw MACD values shift
as the underlying security's absolute value changes across time,
making historical comparisons obsolete
e.g S&P 500 maximum MACD was 1.56 in 1957-1971,
but reached 86.31 in 2019-2021 - not indicating 55x stronger momentum,
but simply different price levels.
Limitation 2: MACD values are not comparable across Assets
Traditional MACD cannot compare momentum between different assets.
S&P 500 MACD of 65 versus EUR/USD MACD of -0.5
reflects absolute price differences, not momentum differences
Limitation 3: MACD values cannot be Systematically Classified
Due to limitations #1 & #2, it is not possible to create
a momentum level classification scale
where one can define "fast", "slow", "overbought", "oversold" momentum
making systematic analysis impossible
Limitation 4: MACD Signal Line gives false crossovers in low-momentum ranges
In range-bound, low momentum environments,
most of the MACD signal line crossovers are false (noise)
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is low
Limitation 5: MACD Signal Line gives late crossovers in high momentum regimes.
Signal lag in strong trends not good at timing the turning point
— In high-momentum moves, MACD crossovers may come late.
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is high
===================================================================
===================================================================
🏆 5. MACD-v : THE SOLUTION TO THE LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD , RSI, etc
====================================================================
MACD-v is a volatility normalised momentum indicator.
It remedies these 5 limitations of the classic MACD,
while creating a tool with unique properties.
Formula: × 100
MACD-V enhances the classic MACD by normalizing for volatility,
transforming price-dependent readings into standardized momentum values.
This resolves key limitations of traditional MACD and adds significant analytical power.
Core Advantages of MACD-V
Advantage 1: Time-Based Stability
MACD-V values are consistent and comparable over time.
A reading of 100 has the same meaning today as it did in the past
(unlike traditional MACD which is influenced by changes in price and volatility over time)
Advantage 2: Cross-Market Comparability
MACD-V provides universal scaling.
Readings (e.g., ±50) apply consistently across all asset classes—stocks,
bonds, commodities, or currencies,
allowing traders to compare momentum across markets reliably.
Advantage 3: Objective Momentum Classification
MACD-V includes a defined 5-range momentum lifecycle
with standardized thresholds (e.g., -150 to +150).
This offers an objective framework for analyzing market conditions
and supports integration with broader models.
Advantage 4: False Signal Reduction in Low-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V introduces a "neutral zone" (typically -50 to +50)
to filter out these low-probability signals.
Advantage 5: Improved Signal Timing in High-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V identifies extremely strong trends,
allowing for more precise entry and exit points.
Advantage 6: Trend-Adaptive Scaling
Unlike bounded oscillators like RSI or Stochastic,
MACD-V dynamically expands with trend strength,
providing clearer momentum insights without artificial limits.
Advantage 7: Enhanced Divergence Detection
MACD-V offers more reliable divergence signals
by avoiding distortion at extreme levels,
a common flaw in bounded indicators (RSI, etc)
====================================================================
=======================================
⚒️ 5. HOW TO USE THE MACD-v: 7 CORE PATTERNS
HOW TO USE THE MACD-v Histogram: 2 CORE PATTERNS
=======================================

Interpretation: Strengthening bullish trend—momentum accelerating.
7. Ranging (Neutral Zone)
Condition: MACD-V remains between -50 and +50 for 20+ bars
Interpretation: Sideways market—low conviction and momentum.
The MACD-v Histogram has 2 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk (Overbought)
Condition: Histogram > +40
Interpretation: Short-term bullish momentum is stretched—possible overextension or reversal risk.
2. Risk (Oversold)
Condition: Histogram < -40
Interpretation: Short-term bearish momentum is stretched—potential for rebound or reversal.
=======================================
=======================================
📈 6. ADVANCED PATTERNS WITH MACD-v
=======================================
Thanks to its volatility normalization,
the MACD-V framework enables the development
of a wide range of advanced pattern recognition setups,
trading signals, and strategic models.

Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI [BOSWaves]Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI – Next-Level Momentum Smoothing & Signal Precision
Overview
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI transforms the classic Relative Strength Index into a robust, lag-minimized momentum oscillator through Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing. By modeling the level, trend, and cyclical behavior of the RSI series, this indicator delivers smoother, more responsive signals that highlight overbought/oversold conditions, momentum shifts, and high-conviction trading setups without cluttering the chart with noise.
Unlike traditional RSI, which reacts to historical data and produces frequent whipsaws, the Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI filters transient price fluctuations, enabling traders to detect emerging momentum and potential reversal zones earlier.
Theoretical Foundation
The traditional RSI measures relative strength by comparing average gains and losses, but suffers from:
Lag in trend recognition : Signals often arrive after momentum has shifted.
Noise sensitivity : High-frequency price movements generate unreliable crossovers.
Limited insight into structural market shifts : Standard RSI cannot contextualize cyclical or momentum patterns.
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI addresses these limitations by applying triple exponential smoothing directly to the RSI series. This decomposes the series into:
Level (Lₜ) : Represents the smoothed central tendency of RSI.
Trend (Tₜ) : Captures rate-of-change in smoothed momentum.
Seasonal Component (Sₜ) : Models short-term cyclical deviations in momentum.
By incorporating these elements, the oscillator produces smoothed RSI values that react faster to emerging trends while suppressing erratic noise. Its internal forecast is mathematical, influencing the smoothed RSI output and signals, rather than being directly plotted.
How It Works
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI builds its signal framework through several layers:
1. Base RSI Calculation
Computes standard RSI over the selected period as the primary momentum input.
2. Triple Exponential Smoothing (Holt-Winters)
The RSI is smoothed recursively to extract underlying momentum structure:
Level, trend, and seasonal components are combined to produce a smoothed RSI.
This internal smoothing reduces lag and enhances signal reliability.
3. Momentum Analysis
Short-term momentum shifts are tracked via a moving average of the smoothed RSI, highlighting acceleration or deceleration in directional strength.
4. Volume Confirmation (Optional)
Buy/sell signals can be filtered through a configurable volume threshold, ensuring only high-conviction moves trigger alerts.
5. Visual Output
Colored Candles : Represent overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (yellow) conditions.
Oscillator Panel : Plots the smoothed RSI with dynamic color coding for immediate trend context.
Signals : Triangular markers indicate bullish or bearish setups, with stronger signals flagged in extreme zones.
Interpretation
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI provides a multi-dimensional perspective on price action:
Trend Strength : Smoothed RSI slope and color coding reflect the direction and momentum intensity.
Momentum Shifts : Rapid changes in the smoothed RSI indicate emerging strength or weakness.
Overbought/Oversold Zones : Highlight areas where price is stretched relative to recent momentum.
High-Conviction Signals : Combined with volume filtering, markers indicate optimal entries/exits.
Cycle Awareness : Smoothing reveals structural patterns, helping traders avoid reacting to noise.
By combining these elements, traders gain early insight into market structure and momentum without relying on raw, lag-prone RSI data.
Strategy Integration
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following
Enter when RSI is aligned with price momentum and color-coded signals confirm trend direction.
Strong slope in the smoothed RSI signals trend continuation.
Reversal Trading
Look for RSI extremes with momentum shifts and strong signal markers.
Compression in oscillator values often precedes reversal setups.
Breakout Detection
Oscillator flattening in neutral zones followed by directional expansion indicates potential breakout conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Higher timeframes provide directional bias; lower timeframes refine entry timing using smoothed RSI dynamics.
Technical Implementation Details
Input Source : Close, open, high, low, or price.
Smoothing : Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing applied to RSI.
Parameters :
Level (α) : Controls smoothing of RSI.
Trend (β) : Adjusts responsiveness to momentum changes.
Seasonal Length : Defines cycles for short-term adjustments.
Delta Smoothing : Reduces choppiness in smoothed RSI difference.
Outputs :
Smoothed RSI
Colored candles and oscillator panel
Buy/Sell signal markers (with optional strength filtering)
Volume Filtering : Optional threshold to confirm signals.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Use moderate smoothing (α, β) to capture medium-term momentum swings while filtering minor price noise. Works best when combined with volume or volatility filters.
Equities : Balance responsiveness and smoothness to identify sustained sector momentum or rotational shifts; ideal for capturing clean directional transitions.
Cryptocurrency : Increase smoothing parameters slightly to stabilize RSI during extreme volatility; optional volume confirmation can help filter false signals.
Futures/Indices : Lower smoothing sensitivity emphasizes macro momentum and structural trend durability over short-term fluctuations.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5m) : Use higher sensitivity (lower smoothing factors) to react quickly to micro-momentum reversals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance smoothing and responsiveness for detecting short-term acceleration and exhaustion zones.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Apply moderate smoothing to reveal underlying directional persistence and cyclical reversals.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Use stronger smoothing to isolate dominant momentum trends and filter temporary pullbacks.
Integration Guidelines
Combine with trend filters (EMAs, SuperSmoother MA, ATR-based tools) for confirmation.
Use volume and signal strength markers to filter low-conviction trades.
Slope, color, and signal alignment can guide entry, stop placement, and scaling.
Disclaimer
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI is a technical analysis tool, not a guaranteed profit system. Effectiveness depends on proper settings, market structure, and disciplined risk management. Always backtest before live trading.
Pro Momentum Table + Trade Alerts📊 Indicator Name: Pro Momentum Table – ADX + DI + ATR + Astro Timing
🧠 Concept:
This indicator is designed for professional scalpers and intraday traders who want to capture only strong momentum waves — not noise. It combines trend strength, volatility, directional movement, momentum oscillation, vega divergence, and astrological timing into a single compact table on your chart.
⚙️ Components Explained:
Metric Description
ADX (Average Directional Index) Measures the strength of the trend. Values above 20 indicate that a meaningful move is starting.
+DI / -DI (Directional Indicators) Show whether buyers (+DI) or sellers (-DI) are dominating. Increasing +DI with ADX rising = bullish momentum. Increasing -DI with ADX rising = bearish momentum.
ATR (Average True Range) Shows volatility and expected range. Used for setting realistic stop-loss and multi-level targets (1×, 1.5×, 2×, 2.5× ATR).
Price Displays the current price level for quick reference.
CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator) Measures short-term momentum direction and strength. Helps identify overbought/oversold conditions in trend continuation.
Vega Divergence Shows a synthetic reading of volatility pressure — "Bullish" when volatility expansion supports upward moves, "Bearish" for downward pressure, and "Neutral" otherwise.
Astro Remark Suggests ideal time windows based on planetary cycles for scalping entries. “Bullish Window” often aligns with high-probability long trades; “Bearish Window” favors shorts.
Trade Signal The core momentum condition: “Bullish Momentum” if ADX > 20 and +DI rising, “Bearish Momentum” if ADX > 20 and -DI rising, else “No Clear Momentum.”
📈 How to Use:
Wait for ADX > 20 – This confirms that the market is entering a strong momentum phase.
Check DI direction:
✅ +DI rising: Buyers gaining strength → look for long setups.
✅ -DI rising: Sellers gaining strength → look for short setups.
Use ATR to plan exits:
🎯 TP1 = Entry ± 1 × ATR
🎯 TP2 = Entry ± 1.5 × ATR
🎯 TP3 = Entry ± 2 × ATR
🎯 TP4 = Entry ± 2.5 × ATR
CMO & Vega Divergence: Confirm momentum direction and volatility expansion before committing.
Astro Remark: Align your scalping activity with the planetary support window for higher probability trades.
🪙 Pro Tips for Scalpers:
Only trade when ADX > 20 and DI is consistently rising. Ignore signals in choppy or sideways phases.
Avoid trades if Vega is neutral and CMO is flat – these usually indicate fake breakouts.
If targets aren’t hit within expected ATR-based time, treat the move as false and exit early.
Combine with 9 EMA and 20 EMA (hidden) for wave structure confirmation without cluttering the chart.
💡 Summary:
This indicator acts as a real-time trade decision dashboard. It removes clutter from the chart and delivers everything a professional scalper needs — strength, direction, volatility, momentum, timing, and actionable trade bias — all in one elegant table.
VWAP Momentum Oscillator How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The oscillator combines four key market measurements into a single, normalized reading:
1. Price-VWAP Deviation: `(Close - VWAP) / VWAP × 100`
2. VWAP-MA Momentum: `(VWAP - MovingAverage) / MovingAverage × 100`
3. Anchored VWAP Strength: Average of high/low anchor deviations from rolling VWAP
4. Range Position: `(Close - PeriodLow) / (PeriodHigh - PeriodLow) × 100 - 50`
Dynamic Signal Line
The signal line uses an EMA that automatically adjusts its length based on your chart timeframe:
- Futures: Always covers 23 hours of trading (1,380 minutes)

Version History & Development
This oscillator evolved from advanced VWAP overlay strategies, transforming complex multi-line analysis into a single, actionable momentum gauge. The indicator maintains the sophistication of institutional VWAP analysis while providing the clarity needed for retail trading decisions.
Core Philosophy
Traditional VWAP indicators show where price is relative to volume-weighted averages, but they don't quantify momentum or provide clear entry/exit signals. This oscillator solves that problem by normalizing all VWAP relationships into a single, bounded indicator that works consistently across all timeframes and asset classes.

Signalgo VSignalgo V: Technical Overview and Unique Aspects
Signalgo V is a technical indicator for TradingView that integrates multiple layers of analysis: moving averages, MACD, Bollinger Bands and RSI to deliver buy and sell signals. Below is an informational breakdown of how the indicator functions, its input parameters, signal logic, exit methodology, and how it stands apart from traditional moving average (MA) tools, without disclosing specifics that allow for code duplication.
How Signalgo V Works
1. Multi-Layered Technical Synthesis
Signalgo V processes several technical studies simultaneously:
Fast/Slow Moving Averages: Uses either EMA or SMA (user-selected) with adjustable periods. These are central to initial trend detection through crossovers.
MACD Filter: MACD line vs. signal line cross-check ensures trend direction is supported by both momentum and MA structure.
RSI Confirmation: The RSI is monitored to verify that signals are not excessively overbought or oversold, tuning the system to changing momentum regimes.
Bollinger Bands Context: Entry signals are only considered when price action is beyond the Bollinger Bands envelope, which further filters for unusually strong movements.
These strict, multi-indicator entry criteria are designed to ensure only the most robust signals are surfaced, each is contingent on the presence of aligned trend, momentum and volatility.
2. Exit Methodology
Take-Profit Levels: After entering a trade, the strategy automatically sets three predefined profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3). If the price reaches any of these targets, the system marks it, helping you lock in profits at different stages.
Stop-Loss System: Simultaneously, a stop-loss (SL) value is set, protecting you from significant losses if the market moves against your position.
Dynamic Adjustment: When the first profit target (TP1) is hit, the system can automatically move the stop-loss to your entry price. This means your worst-case outcome is break-even from that point, reducing downside risk.
Trailing Stop-Loss: After TP1 is reached, a dynamic trailing stop can activate. This allows the stop-loss to follow the price as it moves in your favor, aiming to capture more profit if the trend continues, while still protecting your gains if the price reverses.
Visual Markers: The system plots all important exit levels (profit targets, stop-loss, trailing stop) directly on the chart. Optional labels also appear whenever a target or stop-loss is hit, making it easy to see progress.
Visual cues (labels) are plotted directly on the bar where a buy or sell signal triggers, clarifying entry points and aiding manual exit/risk management decisions.
Input Parameters
rsiLen: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
rsiOB and rsiOS: Overbought/oversold thresholds, adaptive to the indicator’s multi-layered logic.
maFastLen and maSlowLen: Periods for fast and slow MAs.
maType: EMA or SMA selectable for both MAs.
bbLen: Length for Bollinger Bands mean calculation.
bbMult: Standard deviation multiplier for BB width.
macdFast, macdSlow, macdSig: Standard MACD parameterization for nuanced momentum oversight.
What Separates Signalgo V from Traditional Moving Average Indicators
Composite Signal Architecture: Where traditional MA systems generate signals solely on MA crossovers, Signalgo V requires layered, cross-confirmational logic across trend (MAs), momentum (MACD), volatility (Bollinger Bands), and market strength (RSI).
Adaptive Volatility Context: MA signals only “count” when price is meaningfully breaking out of its volatility envelope, filtering out most unremarkable crosses that plague basic MA strategies.
Integrated Multi-Factor Filters: Strict compliance with all layers of signal logic is enforced. A marked improvement over MA strategies that lack secondary or tertiary confirmation.
Non-Redundant Event Limiting: Each entry is labeled as a unique event. The indicator does not repeat signals on subsequent bars unless all entry conditions are freshly met.
Trading Strategy Application
Trend Identification: By requiring concurrence among MA, MACD, RSI, and BB, this tool identifies only those trends with robust, multifactor support.
Breakout and Momentum Entry: Signals are bias-toward trades that initiate at likely breakout points (outside BB range), combined with fresh momentum and trend alignment.
Manual Discretion for Exits: The design is to empower traders with high-confidence entries and leave risk management or partial profit-taking adaptive to trader style, using visual cues from all component indicators.
Alert Generation: Each buy/sell event optionally triggers an alert, supporting systematic monitoring without constant chart watching.
PRO Investing - Apex EnginePRO Investing - Apex Engine
1. Core Concept: Why Does This Indicator Exist?
Traditional momentum oscillators like RSI or Stochastic use a fixed "lookback period" (e.g., 14). This creates a fundamental problem: a 14-period setting that works well in a fast, trending market will generate constant false signals in a slow, choppy market, and vice-versa. The market's character is dynamic, but most tools are static.
The Apex Engine was built to solve this problem. Its primary innovation is a self-optimizing core that continuously adapts to changing market conditions. Instead of relying on one fixed setting, it actively tests three different momentum profiles (Fast, Mid, and Slow) in real-time and selects the one that is most synchronized with the current price action.
This is not just a random combination of indicators; it's a deliberate synthesis designed to create a more robust momentum tool. It combines:
Volatility analysis (ATR) to generate adaptive lookback periods.
Momentum measurement (ROC) to gauge the speed of price changes.
Statistical analysis (Correlation) to validate which momentum measurement is most effective right now.
Classic trend filters (Moving Average, ADX) to ensure signals are only taken in favorable market conditions.
The result is an oscillator that aims to be more responsive in volatile trends and more stable in quiet periods, providing a more intelligent and adaptive signal.
2. How It Works: The Engine's Three-Stage Process
To be transparent, it's important to understand the step-by-step logic the indicator follows on every bar. It's a process of Adapt -> Validate -> Signal.
Stage 1: Adapt (Dynamic Length Calculation)
The engine first measures market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) relative to its own long-term average. This creates a volatility_factor. In high-volatility environments, this factor causes the base calculation lengths to shorten. In low-volatility, they lengthen. This produces three potential Rate of Change (ROC) lengths: dynamic_fast_len, dynamic_mid_len, and dynamic_slow_len.
Stage 2: Validate (Self-Optimizing Mode Selection)
This is the core of the engine. It calculates the ROC for all three dynamic lengths. To determine which is best, it uses the ta.correlation() function to measure how well each ROC's movement has correlated with the actual bar-to-bar price changes over the "Optimization Lookback" period. The ROC length with the highest correlation score is chosen as the most effective profile for the current moment. This "active" mode is reflected in the oscillator's color and the dashboard.
Stage 3: Signal (Normalized Velocity Oscillator)
The winning ROC series is then normalized into a consistent oscillator (the Velocity line) that ranges from -100 (extreme oversold) to +100 (extreme overbought). This ensures signals are comparable across any asset or timeframe. Signals are only generated when this Velocity line crosses its signal line and the trend filters (explained below) give a green light.
3. How to Use the Indicator: A Practical Guide
Reading the Visuals:
Velocity Line (Blue/Yellow/Pink): The main oscillator line. Its color indicates which mode is active (Fast, Mid, or Slow).
Signal Line (White): A moving average of the Velocity line. Crossovers generate potential signals.
Buy/Sell Triangles (▲ / ▼): These are your primary entry signals. They are intentionally strict and only appear when momentum, trend, and price action align.
Background Color (Green/Red/Gray): This is your trend context.
Green: Bullish trend confirmed (e.g., price above a rising 200 EMA and ADX > 20). Only Buy signals (▲) can appear.
Red: Bearish trend confirmed. Only Sell signals (▼) can appear.
Gray: No clear trend. The market is likely choppy or consolidating. No signals will appear; it is best to stay out.
Trading Strategy Example:
Wait for a colored background. A green or red background indicates the market is in a tradable trend.
Look for a signal. For a green background, wait for a lime Buy triangle (▲) to appear.
Confirm the trade. Before entering, confirm the signal aligns with your own analysis (e.g., support/resistance levels, chart patterns).
Manage the trade. Set a stop-loss according to your risk management rules. An exit can be considered on a fixed target, a trailing stop, or when an opposing signal appears.
4. Settings and Customization
This script is open-source, and its settings are transparent. You are encouraged to understand them.
Synaptic Engine Group:
Volatility Period: The master control for the adaptive engine. Higher values are slower and more stable.
Optimization Lookback: How many bars to use for the correlation check.
Switch Sensitivity: A buffer to prevent frantic switching between modes.
Advanced Configuration & Filters Group:
Price Source: The data source for momentum calculation (default close).
Trend Filter MA Type & Length: Define your long-term trend.
Filter by MA Slope: A key feature. If ON, allows for "buy the dip" entries below a rising MA. If OFF, it's stricter, requiring price to be above the MA.
ADX Length & Threshold: Filters out non-trending, choppy markets. Signals will not fire if the ADX is below this threshold.
5. Important Disclaimer
This indicator is a decision-support tool for discretionary traders, not an automated trading system or financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All trading involves substantial risk. You should always use proper risk management, including setting stop-losses, and never risk more than you are prepared to lose. The signals generated by this script should be used as one component of a broader trading plan.
Step Channel Momentum Trend [ChartPrime]OVERVIEW
Step Channel Momentum Trend is a momentum-based price filtering system that adapts to market structure using pivot levels and ATR volatility. It builds a dynamic channel around a stepwise midline derived from swing highs and lows. The system colors price candles based on whether price remains inside this channel (low momentum) or breaks out (strong directional flow). This allows traders to clearly distinguish ranging conditions from trending ones and take action accordingly.
⯁ STRUCTURAL MIDLNE (STEP CHANNEL CORE)
The midline acts as the backbone of the trend system and is based on structure rather than smoothing.
Calculated as the average of the most recent confirmed Pivot High and Pivot Low.
The result is a step-like horizontal line that only updates when new pivot points are confirmed.
This design avoids lag and makes the line "snap" to recent structural shifts.
It reflects the equilibrium level between recent bullish and bearish control.
This unique step logic creates clear regime shifts and prevents noise from distorting trend interpretation.
⯁ DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BANDS (ATR FILTERING)
To detect momentum strength, the script constructs upper and lower bands using the ATR (Average True Range):
The distance from the midline is determined by ATR × multiplier (default: 200-period ATR × 0.6).
These bands adjust dynamically to volatility, expanding in high-ATR environments and contracting in calm markets.
The area between upper and lower bands represents a neutral or ranging market state.
Breakouts outside the bands are treated as significant momentum shifts.
This filtering approach ensures that only meaningful breakouts are visually emphasized — not every candle fluctuation.
⯁ MOMENTUM-BASED CANDLE COLORING
The system visually transforms price candles into momentum indicators:
When price (hl2) is above the upper band, candles are green → bullish momentum.
When price is below the lower band, candles are red → bearish momentum.
When price is between the bands, candles are orange → low or no momentum (range).
The candle body, wick, and border are all colored uniformly for visual clarity.
This gives traders instant feedback on when momentum is expanding or fading — ideal for breakout, pullback, or trend-following strategies.
⯁ PIVOT-BASED SWING ANCHORS
Each confirmed pivot is plotted as a label ⬥ directly on the chart:
They also serve as potential manual entry zones, SL/TP anchors, or confirmation points.
⯁ MOMENTUM STATE LABEL
To reinforce the current market mode, a live label is displayed at the most recent candle:
Displays either:
“ Momentum Up ” when price breaks above the upper band.
“ Momentum Down ” when price breaks below the lower band.
“ Range ” when price remains between the bands.
Label color matches the candle color for quick identification.
Automatically updates on each bar close.
This helps discretionary traders filter trades based on market phase.
USAGE
Use the green/red zones to enter with momentum and ride trending moves.
Use the orange zone to stay out or fade ranges.
The step midline can act as a breakout base, pullback anchor, or bias reference.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., order blocks, divergences, or volume) to build high-confluence systems.
CONCLUSION
Step Channel Momentum Trend gives traders a clean, adaptive framework for identifying trend direction, volatility-based breakouts, and ranging environments — all from structural logic and ATR responsiveness. Its stepwise midline provides clarity, while its dynamic color-coded candles make momentum shifts impossible to miss. Whether you’re scalping intraday momentum or managing swing entries, this tool helps you trade with the market’s rhythm — not against it.
Volume Momentum [BackQuant]Volume Momentum
The Volume Momentum indicator is designed to help traders identify shifts in market momentum based on volume data. By analyzing the relative volume momentum, this indicator provides insights into whether the market is gaining strength (uptrend) or losing momentum (downtrend). The strategy uses a combination of percentile-based volume normalization, weighted moving averages (WMA), and exponential moving averages (EMA) to assess volume trends.
The system focuses on the relationship between price and volume, utilizing normalized volume data to highlight key market changes. This approach allows traders to focus on volume-driven price movements, helping them to capture momentum shifts early.
Key Features
1. Volume Normalization and Percentile Calculation:
The signed volume (positive when the close is higher than the open, negative when the close is lower) is normalized against the rolling average volume. This normalized volume is then subjected to a percentile interpolation, allowing for a robust statistical measure of how the current volume compares to historical data. The percentile level is customizable, with 50 representing the median.
2. Weighted and Smoothed Moving Averages for Trend Detection:
The normalized volume is smoothed using weighted moving averages (WMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA). These smoothing techniques help eliminate noise, providing a clearer view of the underlying momentum. The WMA filters out short-term fluctuations, while the EMA ensures that the most recent data points have a higher weight, making the system more responsive to current market conditions.
3. Trend Reversal Detection:
The indicator detects momentum shifts by evaluating whether the volume momentum crosses above or below zero. A positive volume momentum indicates a potential uptrend, while a negative momentum suggests a possible downtrend. These trend reversals are identified through crossover and crossunder conditions, triggering alerts when significant changes occur.
4. Dynamic Trend Background and Bar Coloring:
The script offers customizable background coloring based on the trend direction. When volume momentum is positive, the background is colored green, indicating a bullish trend. When volume momentum is negative, the background is colored red, signaling a bearish trend. Additionally, the bars themselves can be colored based on the trend, further helping traders quickly visualize market momentum.
5. Alerts for Momentum Shifts:
The system provides real-time alerts for traders to monitor when volume momentum crosses a critical threshold (zero), signaling a trend reversal. The alerts notify traders when the market momentum turns bullish or bearish, assisting them in making timely decisions.
6. Customizable Parameters for Flexible Usage:
Users can fine-tune the behavior of the indicator by adjusting various parameters:
Volume Rolling Mean: The period used to calculate the average volume for normalization.
Percentile Interpolation Length: Defines the range over which the percentile is calculated.
Percentile Level: Determines the percentile threshold (e.g., 50 for the median).
WMA and Smoothing Periods: Control the smoothing and response time of the indicator.
7. Trend Background Visualization and Trend-Based Bar Coloring:
The background fill is shaded according to whether the volume momentum is positive or negative, providing a visual cue to indicate market strength. Additionally, bars can be color-coded to highlight the trend, making it easier to see the trend’s direction without needing to analyze numerical data manually.
8. Note on Mean-Reversion Strategy:
If you take the inverse of the signals, this indicator can be adapted for a mean-reversion strategy. Instead of following the trend, the strategy would involve buying assets that are underperforming and selling assets that are overperforming, based on volume momentum. However, it’s important to note that this approach may not work effectively on highly correlated assets, as their price movements may be too similar, reducing the effectiveness of the mean-reversion strategy.
Final Thoughts
The Volume Momentum indicator offers a comprehensive approach to analyzing volume-based momentum shifts in the market. By using volume normalization, percentile interpolation, and smoothed moving averages, this system helps identify the strength and direction of market trends. Whether used for trend-following or adapted for mean-reversion, this tool provides traders with actionable insights into the market’s volume-driven movements, improving decision-making and portfolio management.
PCA Regime-Adjusted MomentumSummary
The PCA Regime-Adjusted Momentum (PCA-RAM) is an advanced market analysis tool designed to provide nuanced insights into market momentum and structural stability. It moves beyond traditional indicators by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to deconstruct market data into its most essential patterns.
The indicator provides two key pieces of information:
A smoothed momentum signal based on the market's dominant underlying trend.
A dynamic regime filter that gauges the stability and clarity of the market's structure, advising you when to trust or fade the momentum signals.
This allows traders to not only identify potential shifts in momentum but also to understand the context and confidence behind those signals.
Core Concepts & Methodology
The strength of this indicator lies in its sound, data-driven methodology.
1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
At its core, the indicator analyzes a rolling window (default 50 periods) of standardized market data (Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume). PCA is a powerful statistical technique that distills this complex, 5-dimensional data into its fundamental, uncorrelated components of variance. We focus on the First Principal Component (PC1), which represents the single most dominant pattern or "theme" driving the market's behavior in the lookback window.
2. The Momentum Signal
Instead of just looking at price, we project the current market data onto this dominant underlying pattern (PC1). This gives us a raw "projection score" that measures how strongly the current bar aligns with the historically dominant market structure. This raw score is then smoothed using two an exponential moving averages (a fast and a slow line) to create a clear, actionable momentum signal, similar in concept to a MACD.
3. The Dynamic Regime Filter
This is arguably the indicator's most powerful feature. It answers the question: "How clear is the current market picture?"
It calculates the Market Concentration Ratio, which is the percentage of total market variance explained by PC1 alone.
A high ratio indicates that the market is moving in a simple, one-dimensional way (e.g., a clear, strong trend).
A low ratio indicates the market is complex, multi-dimensional, and choppy, with no single dominant theme.
Crucially, this filter is dynamic. It compares the current concentration ratio to its own recent average, allowing it to adapt to any asset or timeframe. It automatically learns what "normal" and "choppy" look like for the specific chart you are viewing.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane with two key visual elements:
The Momentum Lines (White & Gold)
White Line: The "Fast Line," representing the current momentum.
Gold Line: The "Slow Line," acting as the trend confirmation.
Bullish Signal: A crossover of the White Line above the Gold Line suggests a shift to positive momentum.
Bearish Signal: A crossover of the White Line below the Gold Line suggests a shift to negative momentum.
The Regime Filter (Purple & Dark Red Background)
This is your confidence gauge.
Navy Blue Background (High Concentration): The market structure is stable, simple, and trending. Momentum signals are more reliable and should be given higher priority.
Dark Red Background (Low Concentration): The market structure is complex, choppy, or directionless. Momentum signals are unreliable and prone to failure or "whipsaws." This is a signal to be cautious, tighten stops, or potentially stay out of the market.
Potential Trading Strategies
This tool is versatile and can be used in several ways:
1. Primary Signal Strategy
Condition: Wait for the background to turn Purple, confirming a stable, high-confidence regime.
Entry: Take the next crossover signal from the momentum lines (White over Gold for long, White under Gold for short).
Exit/Filter: Consider exiting positions or ignoring new signals when the background turns Navy.
2. As a Confirmation or Filter for Your Existing Strategy
Do you have a trend-following system? Only enable its long and short signals when the PCA-RAM background is Purple.
Do you have a range-trading or mean-reversion system? It might be most effective when the PCA-RAM background is Navy, indicating a lack of a clear trend.
3. Advanced Divergence Analysis
Look for classic divergences between price and the momentum lines. For example, if the price is making a new high, but the Gold Line is making a lower high, it may indicate underlying weakness in the trend, even on a Purple background. This divergence signal is more powerful because it shows that the new price high is not being confirmed by the market's dominant underlying pattern.
Money Flow Pulse💸 In markets where volatility is cheap and structure is noisy, what matters most isn’t just the move — it’s the effort behind it. Money Flow Pulse (MFP) offers a compact, color-coded readout of real-time conviction by scoring volume-weighted price action on a five-tier scale. It doesn’t try to predict reversals or validate trends. Instead, it reveals the quality of the move in progress: is it fading , driving , exhausting , or hollow ?
🎨 MFP draws from the traditional Money Flow Index (MFI), a volume-enhanced momentum oscillator, but transforms it into a modular “pressure readout” that fits seamlessly into any structural overlay. Rather than oscillating between extremes with little interpretive guidance, MFP discretizes the flow into clean, color-coded regimes ranging from strong inflow (+2) to strong outflow (–2). The result is a responsive diagnostic layer that complements, rather than competes with, tools like ATR and/or On-Balance Volume.
5️⃣ MFP uses a normalized MFI value smoothed over 13 periods and classified into a 5-tier readout of Volume-Driven Conviction :
🍆 Exhaustion Inflow — usually a top or blowoff; not strength, but overdrive (+2)
🥝 Active Inflow — supportive of trend continuation (+1)
🍋 Neutral — chop, coil, or fakeouts (0)
🍑 Selling Intent — weakening structure, possible fade setups (-1)
🍆 Exhaustion Outflow — often signals forced selling or accumulation traps (-2)
🎭 These tiers are not arbitrary. Each one is tuned to reflect real capital behavior across timeframes. For instance, while +1 may support continuation, +2 often precedes exhaustion — especially on the lower timeframes. Similarly, a –1 reading during a pullback suggests sell-side pressure is building, but a shift to –2 may mean capitulation is already underway. The difference between the two can define whether a move is tradable continuation or strategic exhaustion .
🌊 The MFI ROC (Rate of Change) feature can be toggled to become a volatility-aware pulse monitor beneath the derived MFI tier. Instead of scoring direction or structure, ROC reveals how fast conviction is changing — not just where it’s headed, but how hard it's accelerating or decaying. It measures the raw Δ between the current and previous MFI values, exposing bursts of energy, fading pressure, or transitional churn .
🎢 Visually, ROC appears as a low-opacity area fill, anchored to a shared lemon-yellow zero line. When the green swell rises, buying pressure is accelerating; when the red drops, flow is actively deteriorating. A subtle bump may signal early interest — while a steep wave hints at an emotional overreaction. The ROC value itself provides numeric insight alongside the raw MFI score. A reading of +3.50 implies strong upside momentum in the flow — often supporting trend ignition. A score of –6.00 suggests rapid deceleration or full exhaustion — often preceding reversals or failed breakouts.
・ MFI shows you where the flow is
・ ROC tells you how it’s behaving
😎 This blend reveals not just structure or intent — but also urgency . And in flow-based trading, urgency often precedes outcome.
🧩 Divergence isn’t delay — it’s disagreement . One of the most revealing features of MFP is how it exposes momentum dissonance — situations where price and flow part ways. These divergences often front-run pivots , traps , or velocity stalls . Unlike RSI-style divergence, which whispers of exhaustion, MFI divergence signals a breakdown in conviction. The structure may extend — but the effort isn’t there.
・ Price ▲ MFI ▼ → Effortless Markup : Often signals distribution or a grind into liquidity. Without rising MFI, the rally lacks true flow participation — a warning of fragility.
・ Price ▼ MFI ▲ → Absorption or Early Accumulation : Price breaks down, but money keeps flowing in — a hidden bid. Watch for MFI tier shifts or ROC bursts to confirm a reversal.
🏄♂️ These moments don’t require signal overlays or setup hunting. MFP narrates the imbalance. When price breaks structure but flow does not — or vice versa — you’re not seeing trend, you’re seeing disagreement, and that's where edge begins.
💤 MFP is especially effective on intraday charts where volume dislocations matter most. On the 1H or 15m chart, it helps distinguish between breakouts with conviction versus those lacking flow. On higher timeframes, its resolution softens — it becomes more of a drift indicator than a trigger device. That’s by design: MFP prioritizes pulse, not position. It’s not the fire, it’s the heat.
📎 Use MFP in confluence with structural overlays to validate price behavior. A ribbon expansion with rising MFP is real. A compression breakout without +1 flow is "fishy". Watch how MFP behaves near key zones like anchored VWAP, MAs or accumulation pivots. When MFP rises into a +2 and fails to sustain, the reversal isn’t just technical — it’s flow-based.
🪟 MFP doesn’t speak loudly, but it never whispers without reason. It’s the pulse check before action — the breath of the move before the breakout. While it stays visually minimal on the chart, the true power is in the often overlooked Data Window, where traders can read and interpret the score in real time. Once internalized, these values give structure-aware traders a framework for conviction, continuation, or caution.
🛜 MFP doesn’t chase momentum — it confirms conviction. And in markets defined by noise, that signal isn’t just helpful — it’s foundational.
Stochastic Order Flow Momentum [ScorsoneEnterprises]This indicator implements a stochastic model of order flow using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, combined with a Kalman filter to smooth momentum signals. It is designed to capture the dynamic momentum of volume delta, representing the net buying or selling pressure per bar, and highlight potential shifts in market direction. The volume delta data is sourced from TradingView’s built-in functionality:
www.tradingview.com
For a deeper dive into stochastic processes like the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model in financial contexts, see these research articles: arxiv.org and arxiv.org
The SOFM tool aims to reveal the momentum and acceleration of order flow, modeled as a mean-reverting stochastic process. In markets, order flow often oscillates around a baseline, with bursts of buying or selling pressure that eventually fade—similar to how physical systems return to equilibrium. The OU process captures this behavior, while the Kalman filter refines the signal by filtering noise. Parameters theta (mean reversion rate), mu (mean level), and sigma (volatility) are estimated by minimizing a squared-error objective function using gradient descent, ensuring adaptability to real-time market conditions.
How It Works
The script combines a stochastic model with signal processing. Here’s a breakdown of the key components, including the OU equation and supporting functions.
// Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for volume delta
ou_model(params, v_t, lkb) =>
theta = clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)
mu = clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)
sigma = clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)
error = 0.0
v_pred = array.new(lkb, 0.0)
array.set(v_pred, 0, array.get(v_t, 0))
for i = 1 to lkb - 1
v_prev = array.get(v_pred, i - 1)
v_curr = array.get(v_t, i)
// Discretized OU: v_t = v_{t-1} + theta * (mu - v_{t-1}) + sigma * noise
v_next = v_prev + theta * (mu - v_prev)
array.set(v_pred, i, v_next)
v_curr_clean = na(v_curr) ? 0 : v_curr
v_pred_clean = na(v_next) ? 0 : v_next
error := error + math.pow(v_curr_clean - v_pred_clean, 2)
error
The ou_model function implements a discretized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process:
v_t = v_{t-1} + theta (mu - v_{t-1})
The model predicts volume delta (v_t) based on its previous value, adjusted by the mean-reverting term theta (mu - v_{t-1}), with sigma representing the volatility of random shocks (approximated in the Kalman filter).
Parameters Explained
The parameters theta, mu, and sigma represent distinct aspects of order flow dynamics:
Theta:
Definition: The mean reversion rate, controlling how quickly volume delta returns to its mean (mu). Constrained between 0.01 and 1.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)).
Interpretation: A higher theta indicates faster reversion (short-lived momentum), while a lower theta suggests persistent trends. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, theta scales the pull toward \mu, influencing the predicted v_t.
Mu:
Definition: The long-term mean of volume delta, representing the equilibrium level of net buying/selling pressure. Constrained between -100.0 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A positive mu suggests a bullish bias, while a negative mu indicates bearish pressure. Initial value is 0.0 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, mu is the target level that v_t reverts to over time.
Sigma:
Definition: The volatility of volume delta, capturing the magnitude of random fluctuations. Constrained between 0.01 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A higher sigma reflects choppier, noisier order flow, while a lower sigma indicates smoother behavior. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In the Kalman filter, sigma contributes to the error term, adjusting the smoothing process.
Summary:
theta: Speed of mean reversion (how fast momentum fades).
mu: Baseline order flow level (bullish or bearish bias).
sigma: Noise level (variability in order flow).
Other Parts of the Script
Clamp
A utility function to constrain parameters, preventing extreme values that could destabilize the model.
ObjectiveFunc
Defines the objective function (sum of squared errors) to minimize during parameter optimization. It compares the OU model’s predicted volume delta to observed data, returning a float to be minimized.
How It Works: Calls ou_model to generate predictions, computes the squared error for each timestep, and sums it. Used in optimization to assess parameter fit.
FiniteDifferenceGradient
Calculates the gradient of the objective function using finite differences. Think of it as finding the "slope" of the error surface for each parameter. It nudges each parameter (theta, mu, sigma) by a small amount (epsilon) and measures the change in error, returning an array of gradients.
Minimize
Performs gradient descent to optimize parameters. It iteratively adjusts theta, mu, and sigma by stepping down the "hill" of the error surface, using the gradients from FiniteDifferenceGradient. Stops when the gradient norm falls below a tolerance (0.001) or after 20 iterations.
Kalman Filter
Smooths the OU-modeled volume delta to extract momentum. It uses the optimized theta, mu, and sigma to predict the next state, then corrects it with observed data via the Kalman gain. The result is a cleaner momentum signal.
Applied
After initializing parameters (theta = 0.1, mu = 0.0, sigma = 0.1), the script optimizes them using volume delta data over the lookback period. The optimized parameters feed into the Kalman filter, producing a smoothed momentum array. The average momentum and its rate of change (acceleration) are calculated, though only momentum is plotted by default.
A rising momentum suggests increasing buying or selling pressure, while a flattening or reversing momentum indicates fading activity. Acceleration (not plotted here) could highlight rapid shifts.
Tool Examples
The SOFM indicator provides a dynamic view of order flow momentum, useful for spotting directional shifts or consolidation.
Low Time Frame Example: On a 5-minute chart of SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ , a rising momentum above zero with a lookback of 5 might signal building buying pressure, while a drop below zero suggests selling dominance. Crossings of the zero line can mark transitions, though the focus is on trend strength rather than frequent crossovers.
High Time Frame Example: On a daily chart of NYSE:VST , a sustained positive momentum could confirm a bullish trend, while a sharp decline might warn of exhaustion. The mean-reverting nature of the OU process helps filter out noise on longer scales. It doesn’t make the most sense to use this on a high timeframe with what our data is.
Choppy Markets: When momentum oscillates near zero, it signals indecision or low conviction, helping traders avoid whipsaws. Larger deviations from zero suggest stronger directional moves to act on, this is on $STT.
Inputs
Lookback: Users can set the lookback period (default 5) to adjust the sensitivity of the OU model and Kalman filter. Shorter lookbacks react faster but may be noisier; longer lookbacks smooth more but lag slightly.
The user can also specify the timeframe they want the volume delta from. There is a default way to lower and expand the time frame based on the one we are looking at, but users have the flexibility.
No indicator is 100% accurate, and SOFM is no exception. It’s an estimation tool, blending stochastic modeling with signal processing to provide a leading view of order flow momentum. Use it alongside price action, support/resistance, and your own discretion for best results. I encourage comments and constructive criticism.

TMO (True Momentum Oscillator)TMO ((T)rue (M)omentum (O)scilator)
Created by Mobius V01.05.2018 TOS Convert to TV using Claude 3.7 and ChatGPT 03 Mini :
TMO calculates momentum using the delta of price. Giving a much better picture of trend, tend reversals and divergence than momentum oscillators using price.
True Momentum Oscillator (TMO)
The True Momentum Oscillator (TMO) is a momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify trend direction, trend strength, and potential reversal points in the market. It's particularly useful for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, aiding traders in timing their entries and exits.
How it Works:
The TMO calculates market momentum by analyzing recent price action:
Momentum Calculation:
For a user-defined length (e.g., 14 bars), TMO compares the current closing price to past open prices. It assigns:
+1 if the current close is greater than the open price of the past bar (indicating bullish momentum).
-1 if it's less (indicating bearish momentum).
0 if there's no change.
The sum of these scores gives a raw momentum measure.
EMA Smoothing:
To reduce noise and false signals, this raw momentum is smoothed using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
First, the raw data is smoothed by an EMA over a short calculation period (default: 5).
Then, it undergoes additional smoothing through another EMA (default: 3 bars), creating the primary "Main" line of the indicator.
Lastly, a "Signal" line is derived by applying another EMA (also default: 3 bars) to the main line, adding further refinement.
Trend Identification:
The indicator plots two lines:
Main Line: Indicates current momentum strength and direction.
Signal Line: Acts as a reference line, similar to a moving average crossover system.
When the Main line crosses above the Signal line, it suggests strengthening bullish momentum. Conversely, when the Main line crosses below the Signal line, it indicates increasing bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
The indicator identifies key levels based on the chosen length parameter:
Overbought zone (positive threshold): Suggests the market might be overheated, and a potential bearish reversal or pullback could occur.
Oversold zone (negative threshold): Suggests the market might be excessively bearish, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Clouds visually mark these overbought/oversold areas, making it easy to see potential reversal zones.
Trading Applications:
Trend-following: Traders can enter positions based on crossovers of the Main and Signal lines.
Reversals: The overbought and oversold areas highlight high-probability reversal points.
Momentum confirmation: Use TMO to confirm price action or other technical signals, improving trade accuracy and timing.
The True Momentum Oscillator provides clarity in identifying momentum shifts, making it a valuable addition to various trading strategies.
Bollinger Momentum Deviation | QuantEdgeBIntroducing Bollinger Momentum Deviation (BMD) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Bollinger Momentum Deviation (BMD) is a trend-following momentum indicator designed to identify strong price movements while also detecting overbought and oversold conditions in ranging markets.
By normalizing a simple moving average (SMA) with standard deviation, BMD captures momentum shifts, helping traders make data-driven entries and exits. In trending conditions, it acts as a momentum confirmation tool, while in ranging markets, it highlights mean-reversion opportunities for profit-taking or re-accumulation.
BMD combines the best of both worlds—a robust trend-following framework with an integrated volatility-based overbought/oversold detection system.
____
✨ Key Features
🔹 Momentum & Trend-Following Core
Built upon a normalized SMA with standard deviation filtering, BMD efficiently tracks price movements while reducing lag.
🔹 Overbought/Oversold Market Detection
By dynamically adjusting its thresholds based on standard deviation, it identifies high-probability reversion zones in sideways markets.

____
📊 How It Works
1️⃣ Normalized Momentum Calculation
BMD computes a normalized momentum score using a simple moving average (SMA) combined with a standard deviation (SD) filter to create dynamic upper and lower bands. The final momentum score is derived by normalizing the price within this volatility-adjusted range. This normalization makes momentum readings comparable across different price levels and timeframes.
2️⃣ Standard Deviation Filtering
Unlike traditional approaches where standard deviation is derived from price as is the first SD, BMDs second SD is driven from the normalized momentum oscillator itself. This allows for a volatility-adjusted smoothing mechanism that adapts to momentum shifts rather than raw price fluctuations. This ensures that the trend signals remain dynamic and responsive, filtering out short-term noise while keeping the core momentum structure intact. By applying standard deviation directly to the oscillator, BMD achieves a self-regulating feedback loop, improving accuracy in both trending and range-bound conditions.
3️⃣ Signal Generation
✅ Long Signal → Upper BMD SD > Long Threshold (83)
❌ Short Signal → Lower BMD SD < Short Threshold (60)
📌 Additional Features:

• These BPR zones represent areas of equilibrium , where a breakout or breakdown is likely to occur.
• The script historically tracks BPR levels across the entire chart to monitor price action around key areas.
2. Momentum-Filtered Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
• Bullish Breakout: Occurs when the price breaks above the historical BPR high with bullish momentum.
• Bearish Breakdown: Occurs when the price breaks below the historical BPR low with bearish momentum.
• Momentum Confirmation: Each breakout requires a strong directional move, measured against the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) .
• Only confirmed breakouts are marked, reducing the likelihood of false signals in choppy markets.
3. Candle-Based Background Visualization:
• Grey Background: Represents a Balanced Price Range (BPR), indicating potential breakout zones.
• Green Background: Indicates a Bullish Breakout when the price successfully breaks and holds above the BPR high.
• Red Background: Indicates a Bearish Breakdown when the price drops below the BPR low.
4. Trade Cooldown Mechanism:
• Prevents consecutive signals from triggering too frequently.
• Default cooldown period: 5 bars (adjustable).
• Ensures that trades are not clustered, improving signal quality.
5. EMA for Trend Direction & Confirmation:
• A 20-period EMA (default, adjustable) is used to confirm trade direction.
• Breakouts above the EMA align with uptrend continuation.
• Breakdowns below the EMA align with downtrend momentum.
Key Features
✔️ Historical BPR Detection – Tracks past BPR levels across the entire chart for structured breakout zones.
✔️ Momentum-Based Breakouts – Ensures breakouts are confirmed by directional price movement before generating signals.
✔️ Candle-Based Background Logic – Subtle candle highlights rather than full background fills, for better chart clarity.

Blockchain Fundamentals: Liquidity Cycle MomentumLiquidity Cycle Momentum Indicator
Overview:
This indicator analyzes global liquidity trends by calculating a unique Liquidity Index and measuring its year-over-year (YoY) percentage change. It then applies a momentum oscillator to the YoY change, providing insights into the cyclical momentum of liquidity. The indicator incorporates a limited historical data workaround to ensure accurate calculations even when the chart’s history is short.
Features Breakdown:
1. Limited Historical Data Workaround
Function: The limit(length) function adjusts the lookback period when there isn’t enough historical data (i.e., near the beginning of the chart), ensuring that calculations do not break due to insufficient data.
2. Global Liquidity Calculation
Data Sources:
TVC:CN10Y (10-year yield from China)
TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index)
ECONOMICS:USCBBS (US Central Bank Balance Sheet)
FRED:JPNASSETS (Japanese assets)
ECONOMICS:CNCBBS (Chinese Central Bank Balance Sheet)
FRED:ECBASSETSW (ECB assets)
Calculation Methodology:
A ratio is computed (cn10y / dxy) to adjust for currency influences.
The Liquidity Index is then derived by multiplying this ratio with the sum of the other liquidity components.
3. Year-over-Year (YoY) Percent Change
Computation:
The indicator determines the number of bars that approximately represent one year.
It then compares the current Liquidity Index to its value one year ago, calculating the YoY percentage change.
4. Momentum Oscillator on YoY Change
Oscillator Components:
1. Calculated using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) applied to the YoY percent change with a user-defined momentum length.
2. A weighted moving average (WMA) that smooths the momentum signal.
3. Overbought and Oversold zones
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the momentum crosses upward from an oversold condition, suggesting a potential upward shift in liquidity momentum.
Sell Signal: Triggered when crosses below an overbought condition, indicating potential downward momentum.
State Management:
The indicator maintains a state variable to avoid repeated signals, ensuring that a new buy or sell signal is only generated when there’s a clear change in momentum.
5. Visual Presentation and Alerts
Plots:
The oscillator value and signalline are plotted for visual analysis.
Overbought and oversold levels are marked with dashed horizontal lines.
Signal Markers:
Buy and sell signals are marked with green and maroon circles, respectively.
Background Coloration:
Optionally, the chart’s background bars are colored (yellow for buy signals and fuchsia for sell signals) to enhance visual cues when signals are triggered.
Conclusion
In summary, the Liquidity Cycle Momentum Indicator provides a robust framework to analyze liquidity trends by combining global liquidity data, YoY changes, and momentum oscillation. This makes it an effective tool for traders and analysts looking to identify cyclical shifts in liquidity conditions and potential turning points in the market.
