Squeeze Momentum Pro
SQUEEZE MOMENTUM PRO - Enhanced Visual Dashboard
A modernized version of the TTM Squeeze Momentum indicator, designed for cleaner visual interpretation and faster decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IS THE SQUEEZE?
═══════════════════════════════════════════
The "squeeze" occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, indicating extremely low volatility. This compression typically precedes explosive directional moves - the tighter the squeeze, the bigger the potential breakout.
John Carter's TTM Squeeze concept (from "Mastering the Trade") combines this volatility compression with momentum direction to identify high-probability setups.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
