Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Blau Candlestick Momentum Index as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C Blau Candlestick Momentum Index
What is Blau Candlestick Momentum Index?
The Blau Candlestick Momentum Index (CMI) is a technical analysis indicator developed by William Blau and described in his book “Momentum, Direction, and Divergence: Applying the Latest Momentum Indicators for Technical Analysis”. It is based on the Candlestick Momentum Indicator, which measures the difference between the current close price and the open price of a certain number of bars ago. The values of the CMI are normalized by the price range and mapped into the interval.
The CMI is calculated using the following formula:
CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) = 100 * CMtm(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) / EMA(EMA(EMA(|cmtm(price1,price2,q)|,r),s),u)
where:
- price1: close price
- price2: open price q bars ago
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum
- cmtm(price1,price2,q): Candlestick Momentum
- CMtm(price1,price2,q,r,s,u): Triple smoothed Candlestick Momentum
- EMA(...,r): first smoothing - exponentially smoothed moving average with period r, applied to Candlestick Momentum and absolute value of Candlestick Momentum
- EMA(EMA(...,r),s): second smoothing - EMA of period s, applied to result of the first smoothing

What is an EMA?
EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average , which is a type of moving average that is commonly used in technical analysis to smooth out price data and identify trends.
In a simple moving average ( SMA ), each data point is given equal weight when calculating the average. For example, if you are calculating the 10-day SMA , you would add up the prices for the past 10 days and divide by 10 to get the average. In contrast, in an EMA , more weight is given to recent prices, while older prices are given less weight.
The formula for calculating an EMA involves using a smoothing factor that is multiplied by the difference between the current price and the previous EMA value, and then adding this to the previous EMA value. The smoothing factor is typically calculated based on the length of the EMA being used. For example, a 10-day EMA might use a smoothing factor of 2/(10+1) or 0.1818.
The result of using an EMA is that the line produced is more responsive to recent price changes than a simple moving average . This makes it useful for identifying short-term trends and potential trend reversals. However, it can also be more volatile and prone to whipsaws, so it is often used in combination with other indicators to confirm signals.
Overall, the EMA is a widely used and versatile tool in technical analysis , and its effectiveness depends on the specific context in which it is applied.
What is Momentum?
In technical analysis , momentum refers to the rate of change of an asset's price over a certain period of time. It is often used to identify trends and potential trend reversals in financial markets.
Momentum is calculated by subtracting the closing price of an asset X days ago from its current closing price, where X is the number of days being used for the calculation. The result is the momentum value for that particular day. A positive momentum value suggests that prices are increasing, while a negative value indicates that prices are decreasing.
Traders use momentum in a variety of ways. One common approach is to look for divergences between the momentum indicator and the price of the asset being traded. For example, if an asset's price is trending upwards but its momentum is trending downwards, this could be a sign of a potential trend reversal.
Another popular strategy is to use momentum to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. When an asset's price has been rising rapidly and its momentum is high, it may be considered overbought and due for a correction. Conversely, when an asset's price has been falling rapidly and its momentum is low, it may be considered oversold and due for a bounce back up.
Momentum is also often used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages or Bollinger Bands , to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
Overall, momentum is a useful tool for traders and investors to analyze price movements and identify potential trading opportunities. However, like all technical indicators, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and with consideration of the broader market context.
What is Momentum Ratio Oscillator?
The theory behind this indicator involves utilizing a sequence of exponential moving average ( EMA ) calculations to achieve a smoother value of momentum ratio, which compares the current value to the previous one. Although this results in an outcome similar to that of some pre-existing indicators (such as volume zone or price zone oscillators), the use of EMA for smoothing is what sets it apart. EMA produces a smooth step-like output when values undergo sudden changes, whereas the mathematics used for those other indicators are completely distinct. This is a concept by the beloved Mladen of FX forums.
To utilize this version of the indicator, you have the option of using either levels, middle, or signal crosses for signals. The indicator is range bound from 0 to 1.

Impulse Momentum MACD - Slow and FastImpulse Momentum MACD - Slow and Fast
The Momentum indicator is a technical indicator that measures the speed and strength of the price movement of a financial asset. This indicator is used to identify the underlying strength of a trend and predict potential changes in price direction, when the indicator crosses the zero line, it can signal a change of direction in the price trend.
On the other hand, the MACD is an indicator used to identify the trend and strength of the market and shows the difference between two exponential moving averages ( EMA ) of different periods. The MACD is commonly used to determine the direction of an asset's price trend.
COPOSITION AND USE OF THE INDICATOR
This script is an implementation of the Impulse Momentum MACD indicator with two variations: slow and fast. It uses a combination of the Momentum indicator and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator to identify trend reversals and momentum changes in an asset's price.
The combination of both indicators can help traders identify market entry and exit opportunities. The Impulse Momentum MACD is a Modified MACD, it is formed by filtering the values in a range of Modifiable Moving Averages by calculating their high and low ranges,This indicator has two parts: a slow part and a fast part. The slow part uses input values for the lengths of the moving averages and the length of the signal for the MACD indicator. The fast part uses different input values for the lengths of the moving averages. Also, each part has its own set of line colors and histogram colors for easy visualization.
The script also includes inputs to choose the type of moving average to use (SMA, EMA, etc.), the lookback period, the colors for the histogram lines and bars, and a zero trend line (also known as a horizontal trend line). ).
* Highest performing custom settings for the zero trend line. For Operations of:
- One Minute: Trend Line Time Frame = Five Minutes.
- Three Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Fifteen Minutes.
- Five Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Thirty Minutes.
- Fifteen Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Sixty Minutes.
Rules For Trading
🔹 Bullish:
* The Zero Horizontal Trend Line should be in Green Color.
* The Slow Histogram Bar should be in Green Color.
* The Fast Histogram Bar must be in Blue or Black Color or No Bar Appears.
* The Momentum Line or Momentum Area must be in Green Color.
crosses:
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow signal line upwards.
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast signal line upwards.
- Note 1: A Position is Opened when the condition of any of the aforementioned crossovers is met.
- Note 2: If the two aforementioned crossings anticipate the condition of the Zero Horizontal Tendency Line because it is in Red; A position is only opened immediately when the Zero Horizontal Trend line turns Green.
🔹 Bearish:
* The Zero Horizontal Trend Line should be in Red Color.
* The Slow Histogram Bar should be in Red Color.
* The Fast Histogram Bar must be in Blue or Black Color or No Bar Appears.
* The Momentum Line or Momentum Area must be in Red Color.
crosses:
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow signal line downwards.
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast signal line downwards.
- Note 1: A Position is Opened when the condition of any of the aforementioned crossovers is met.
- Note 2: If the two aforementioned crossings anticipate the condition of the Zero Horizontal Tendency Line because it is Green, an immediate position is only opened when the Zero Horizontal Tendency line turns Red.
This script can be used in different markets such as forex, indices and cryptocurrencies for analysis and trading. However, it is important to note that no trading strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, and traders should always conduct their own research and risk management.
Momentum vs Consolidation with SuperTrend Momentum Super Trend : This TradingView script, called "Momentum vs Consolidation with Super Trend," is a tool to help traders spot when the market is trending strongly (momentum) or moving sideways (consolidation), and it gives clear buy and sell signals. It uses a mix of popular indicators to make decisions and shows them on your chart. Here’s a simple breakdown for traders:
---
### **What It Does**
- **Identifies Market Mood**:
- Tells you if the market is in a **trending phase** (price moving strongly up or down) or a **sideways phase** (price stuck in a range).
- Highlights momentum with a green background and consolidation with a yellow background.
- **Gives Trading Signals**:
- Shows when to **buy (go long)** or **sell (go short)** with labels on the chart.
- Tells you when to **exit** your trades to lock in profits or cut losses.
- **Guides with Trend Lines**:
- Draws a Super Trend line to show if the market is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
- Plots two moving averages (fast and slow) to confirm price direction.
---
### **How It Works**
The script uses four main tools to make decisions:
1. **ADX (Average Directional Index)**:
- Measures how strong a trend is. If ADX is above 20, it suggests the market is trending (momentum).
2. **Bollinger Bands**:
- Looks at market volatility. Narrow bands (less than 2% width) mean the market is quiet (consolidation).
3. **EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages)**:
- Uses a fast 9-period EMA (blue line) and a slow 21-period EMA (red line).
- Price above both EMAs is bullish; below both is bearish.
4. **Super Trend**:
- A trend-following indicator that shows whether the market is in an uptrend (green line) or downtrend (red line).
---
### **Trading Signals**
- **Buy (Long) Signal**:
- Price is above both the 9 and 21 EMAs (bullish).
- Super Trend is green (uptrend).
- You’re not already in a long position.
- A green "Long" label appears below the bar when it’s time to buy.
- **Sell (Short) Signal**:
- Price is below both EMAs (bearish).
- Super Trend is red (downtrend).
- You’re not already in a short position.
- A red "Short" label appears above the bar when it’s time to sell.
- **Exit Signals**:
- **Exit Long**: Price drops below the 21 EMA. A green "Exit Long" label appears.
- **Exit Short**: Price rises above the 21 EMA. A red "Exit Short" label appears.
The script ensures you’re only in one trade at a time (either long or short) to keep things clear.
---
### **What You See on the Chart**
- **Background Colors**:
- **Green**: Market is trending (momentum).
- **Yellow**: Market is sideways (consolidation).
- **Lines**:
- Blue line (9 EMA) and red line (21 EMA) show price direction.
- Area between EMAs is filled green (bullish) or red (bearish).
- Super Trend line is green for uptrends, red for downtrends, with a shaded area between price and the line.
- **Labels**:
- Buy signals (green "Long") and exit long signals (green "Exit Long") appear below the bar.
- Sell signals (red "Short") and exit short signals (red "Exit Short") appear above the bar.
- **Debug Info** (optional):
- If you turn on "Show Debug Info," you’ll see extra charts below the main one showing ADX, Bollinger Band width, and other details to understand what’s driving the signals.
---
### **Alerts**
You can set up alerts in TradingView to notify you when:
- A buy or sell signal triggers.
- It’s time to exit a long or short trade.
- The Super Trend flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
---
### **How to Use It**
1. **Add to TradingView**:
- Copy the code into Trading View’s Pine Editor and add it to your chart.
2. **Tweak Settings**:
- Adjust numbers like ADX threshold (default 20), Bollinger Band settings, or EMA periods to match your trading style.
- Turn on "Show Debug Info" if you want to see the nuts and bolts behind the signals.
3. **Trade the Signals**:
- Buy when you see a "Long" label and the market looks bullish (green Super Trend, price above EMAs).
- Sell when you see a "Short" label and the market looks bearish (red Super Trend, price below EMAs).
- Exit trades when you see "Exit Long" or "Exit Short" labels.
4. **Check Market Context**:
- Green background means it’s a trending market—good for following trends.
- Yellow background means the market is ranging—signals may be less reliable.
---
### **Tips for Traders**
- **Timeframes**: Works on any timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, daily), but match it to your trading style (shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading).
- **Confirm with Other Tools**: Use volume, support/resistance, or other indicators to double-check signals.
- **Test First**: Try it on a demo account or back test to see how it performs with your market (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.).
- **Adjust Parameters**: If signals are too frequent or too rare, tweak the ADX threshold, Bollinger Band width, or Super Trend settings.
---
### **Why It’s Useful**
- Combines trend strength (ADX), volatility (Bollinger Bands), and price direction (EMAs, Super Trend) for reliable signals.
- Clear visuals make it easy to spot trade opportunities and market conditions.
- Prevents over-trading by limiting you to one position at a time.
- Alerts keep you updated without staring at the chart all day.

Momentum IndexMomentum Index - Advanced Market Momentum Detector
This indicator combines two specialized oscillators to detect market momentum shifts with high precision. Unlike standard momentum indicators, it integrates both short-term volatility analysis and longer-term trend strength to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
How It Works
The Momentum Index measures directional power through a dual-oscillator system:
A short-term volatility oscillator compares upward movement power (high minus previous low) against downward movement power (low minus previous high), normalized by ATR to ensure volatility independence.
A longer-term trend oscillator uses logarithmic price relationships to detect underlying trend strength through two complementary methods.
These oscillators are normalized, averaged, and enhanced with a momentum acceleration component for increased sensitivity to directional changes.
Trading Signals
The critical signal occurs when the indicator crosses the 50 line:
Crossing ABOVE 50: Bullish momentum is now dominant (green histogram)
Crossing BELOW 50: Bearish momentum is taking control (red histogram)
These crossings often precede significant price movements, making them valuable for both trend confirmation and early reversal detection.
Customization Options
Length: Adjusts the short-term oscillator sensitivity (default: 6)
Smoothing: Enables Ehlers smoothing to reduce noise
Smoothing Period: Controls the smoothing intensity
Display Options: Show as histogram or line
For optimal results, use on any timeframe from 15-minute to daily charts across all major markets. The indicator works particularly well for identifying momentum shifts at key support/resistance levels.
Rolling ATR Momentum
Rolling ATR Momentum Indicator – User Manual
---
🔍 Overview
The Rolling ATR Momentum Indicator is a simple yet powerful tool designed to detect shifts in market volatility. It compares the current Average True Range (ATR) with the ATR from a previous point in time to measure how market volatility is changing.
This indicator is especially useful for:
- Spotting the beginning or fading of a momentum phase
- Filtering out low-volatility market conditions
- Enhancing timing for entries and exits in trending or breakout trades
---
📊 Key Components
✅ ATR Delta (Rolling)
- Definition: `ATR Delta = Current ATR - Past ATR`
- Inputs:
- ATR Period (default: 14): The base ATR calculation window
- Lookback Period (default: 5): How many bars ago to compare ATR
- Interpretation:
- Positive ATR Delta (Green Line): Market volatility is increasing
- Negative ATR Delta (Red Line): Market volatility is decreasing
📈 Zero Line
- A horizontal baseline at zero helps you easily see when ATR momentum shifts from negative to positive (or vice versa).
🟩/🟥 Background Color
- 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

Momentum Candle Identifier # Momentum Candle Identifier
This indicator helps traders identify significant momentum candles by analyzing candle body size relative to recent price action (think after consolidation periods). Unlike traditional volatility indicators, this tool specifically focuses on price movement captured by the candle body (open to close distance), filtering out potentially misleading wicks.
## How It Works
- The indicator calculates the average candle body size over a user-defined lookback period
- Momentum candles are identified when their body size exceeds the average by a customizable threshold multiplier
- Bullish momentum candles (close > open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- Bearish momentum candles (close < open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- A real-time information panel displays key metrics including current average body size and threshold values
## Key Features
- Focus on candle body size rather than full range (high to low)
- Custom lookback period to adapt to different timeframes
- Adjustable threshold multiplier to fine-tune sensitivity
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish momentum candles
- Optional labels for momentum candles
- Information panel showing lookback settings, average size, and momentum candle count
## Usage Tips
- Use shorter lookback periods (3-5) for more signals in choppy markets
- Use longer lookback periods (8-20) to identify only the most significant momentum moves
- Higher threshold multipliers (2.0+) will identify only the strongest momentum candles
- Combine with trend indicators to find potential reversal or continuation signals
- Look for clusters of momentum candles to identify strong shifts in market sentiment
This indicator helps identify candles that represent significant price movement relative to recent activity, potentially signaling changes in market momentum, sentiment shifts, or the beginning of new trends.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator with Entry Tactics### **Squeeze Momentum Indicator with Stacked EMAs**
#### **Description:**
This indicator is an enhanced version of the **Squeeze Momentum Indicator** (originally by John Carter and later modified by LazyBear). It identifies **periods of consolidation (squeeze)** and signals potential **explosive price moves** when momentum shifts. The added **stacked EMA concept** further refines entry signals by confirming trend strength. This is also an update to version 6 of PineScript
#### **How to Use:**
The indicator provides **three different entry tactics**, allowing traders to choose signals based on their strategy:
1. **Inside Day Pattern** – Detects inside candles, which indicate potential breakouts when volatility contracts.
2. **Consecutive Black Crosses (Squeeze Signal)** – A certain number of black crosses (low volatility periods) suggests a strong move is coming.
3. **Stacked EMA Concept** – When the **8 EMA > 21 EMA > 34 EMA**, combined with a momentum shift from negative to positive, it signals a **high-probability bullish entry**.
#### **Visual Cues:**
- **Histogram Bars**: Show momentum (green for increasing bullish, red for increasing bearish).
- **Black & Gray Dots**: Represent different squeeze states (low volatility vs. breakout conditions).
- **🔥 Bullish Label**: Appears when the stacked EMAs align and momentum shifts from negative to positive.
#### **Best Practices:**
- Look for **momentum shifts during a squeeze** for high-probability trades.
- Use **stacked EMAs as trend confirmation** before entering.
- Combine with **price action and volume analysis** for additional confluence.
This indicator helps traders **anticipate major price moves** rather than react, making it a powerful tool for trend-following and breakout strategies. 🚀
Momentum Entry & Trend Strategy M5Momentum Entry & Trend Strategy M5
Description:
The Momentum Entry & Trend Strategy M5 is an indicator script designed to assist traders in determining optimal buy and sell moments based on momentum and trend analysis. This script operates using two different momentum levels—Momentum Length for Entry (5) and Momentum Length for Trend (10)—along with the HMA (Hull Moving Average) indicator for trend confirmation.
Key Features:
Momentum Entry: Calculates momentum using the difference between the current price and the price from previous periods to determine the strength and direction of price movements.
Trend Identification: Utilizes two momentum levels (5 and 10) to identify bullish and bearish trend conditions.
HMA for Trend Confirmation: The HMA indicator is used to provide trend confirmation signals. When HMA indicates bullish, a buy signal is displayed; conversely, a bearish HMA results in a sell signal.
Signal Display: Displays buy (BUY) and sell (SELL) signals on the chart when the conditions for market entry are met, providing clear visualization for traders.
Background Color: Offers a green background for uptrends and a red background for downtrends, allowing traders to easily identify the overall market condition.
ATR (Average True Range): Calculates and plots a smoothed ATR to help traders measure market volatility.
Settings:
Momentum Length for Entry: 5 (to determine entry signals)
Momentum Length for Trend: 10 (to determine trend conditions)
HMA Length: 300 (period length for HMA to confirm trends)
ATR Length: 14 (period length for ATR to measure volatility)
Benefits:
This script is designed to provide visual and data-driven guidance for better trading decision-making. By combining momentum and trend analysis, traders can enhance the accuracy of their signals and reduce the risk of errors when identifying entry and exit points in the market.
Note:
This script is intended for use on the M5 time frame but can be adjusted for other time frames as needed. It is always recommended to conduct thorough testing before applying trading strategies on a live account.
RoC Momentum CycleRoC Momentum Cycles (RMC) is derived from RoC (Rate of Change) indicator.
Motivation behind RMC: Addressing RoC’s Shortcomings
While the Rate of Change (RoC) indicator is a valuable tool for assessing momentum, it has notable limitations that traders must be aware of. One of the primary challenges with the traditional RoC is its sensitivity to price fluctuations, which can lead to false signals in volatile markets. This often results in premature entries or exits, impacting trading performance.
By smoothing out the RoC calculations and focusing on more consistent signal generation (using SMA on smoothed RoC), RMC offers a more consistent representation of price trends.
Momentum Cycles
RMC helps visualize momentum cycles in a much better way compared to RoC.
Long Momentum Cycle : A cross-over of smoothed RoC (blue line) above averaged signal (orange line) below zero marks start of a new potential upside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero line from above.
Short Momentum Cycle : A cross-under of blue line below orange line above zero marks beginning of a potential downside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero from below.
Savitzky-Golay Filtered Chande Momentum OscillatorThe Savitzky-Golay Filtered Chande Momentum Oscillator (SGCMO) is a modified version of the Chande Momentum Oscillator that functions as a powerful analytical tool, capable of detecting trends and mean reversals. By applying a Savitzky-Golay filter to the price data, the oscillator provides enhanced visualization and smoother readings. (credit to © anieri for the Savitzky-Golay filter code: www.tradingview.com)
Chande Momentum Oscillator
The Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) is a technical indicator developed by Tushar Chande. It measures the momentum of an asset's price movement and provides insights into the overbought or oversold conditions of the market. The CMO calculates the difference between the sum of positive price changes and the sum of negative price changes over a specified period, and then normalizes it to a scale between -100 and +100. Traders and investors use the CMO to identify potential trend reversals, confirm the strength of a current trend, and generate buy or sell signals.
Smoothing
The Savitzky-Golay filter is a digital filter commonly employed for smoothing and noise reduction in time-series data. In the context of the SGCMO, the aim is to effectively smooth the CMO values, reducing the impact of short-term fluctuations and providing clearer insights into underlying trends. Additionally, an exponential moving average (EMA) filter is applied to further reduce noise and enhance trend visibility. This filtered CMO indicator may provide traders and investors with a clearer and more refined representation of momentum changes in the underlying asset, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
Application
The SGCMO serves as both a trend-following and mean-reversion tool. Traders can track the current trend using bullish white lines or bearish orange lines in trending markets. Alternatively, they can utilize green and red vertical lines, which indicate price retracement and help capture pullbacks and reversals. Green vertical lines appear when the trend reverses upwards in an oversold zone (-50 to -80), while red vertical lines indicate negative trend reversals in an overbought zone (50 to 80). Opening long positions when green and white lines appear, or short positions when red and orange lines are visible, can be considered. However, it is advisable to combine this indicator with other complementary technical analysis tools and incorporate it into a comprehensive trading strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
Sector MomentumThis indicator shows the momentum of a market sector. Under the hood, it's the MACD of the number of stocks above their 20 SMA in a specific sectors. The best insight it gives is to tell if the market is doing a sector rotation or having a full blown correction.
Users have the options to choose a specific sector out of the 11 sectors:
XLB, XLC, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK, XLP, XLRE, XLU, XLV, XLY or show all them them by adding multiple indicators.
Use this indicator similar to MACD to look for momentum acceleration, deceleration and turn in a sector. More importantly, users can open up the indicator for all sectors and then compare between each.
Examples:
1. When we see momentum slows down in XLP and turn of XLK, it's a sign of sector rotation from consumer staple to tech. Money is going from defensive to riskier assets. Market is leaning towards risk-on mode. Stocks in tech have higher probability to outperform those in consumer staple.
2. When we see momentum subside across all sectors all at once or one by one, particularly both XLP, XLK/XLY, we'd expect market breadth is taking a hit across all sectors. This is not a sector rotation. A short to mid term market correction or drawdown is very likely.

Smoother Momentum MACD w/ DSL [Loxx]Smoother Momentum MACD w/ DSL uses two different EMA calculations to derive momentum and then calculates the MACD between those momentum outputs. This indicator uses a variation of Discontinued Signal Lines for the breakout/breakdown/reversal signals . There are three different signal types: middle, levels, and slope. I've also added alerts and signals. The discontinued signal lines can be smoothed using EMA or Fast EMA.
What are DSL Discontinued Signal Line?
A lot of indicators are using signal lines in order to determine the trend (or some desired state of the indicator) easier. The idea of the signal line is easy : comparing the value to it's smoothed (slightly lagging) state, the idea of current momentum/state is made.
Discontinued signal line is inheriting that simple signal line idea and it is extending it : instead of having one signal line, more lines depending on the current value of the indicator.
"Signal" line is calculated the following way :
When a certain level is crossed into the desired direction, the EMA of that value is calculated for the desired signal line
When that level is crossed into the opposite direction, the previous "signal" line value is simply "inherited" and it becomes a kind of a level
This way it becomes a combination of signal lines and levels that are trying to combine both the good from both methods.
In simple terms, DSL uses the concept of a signal line and betters it by inheriting the previous signal line's value & makes it a level.

STD Aadaptive, floating RSX Dynamic Momentum Index [Loxx]STD Aadaptive, floating RSX Dynamic Momentum Index is an attempt to improve Chande's original work on Dynamic Momentum Index. The full name of this indicator is "Standard-Deviation-Adaptive, floating-level, Dynamic Momentum Index on Jurik's RSX".
What Is Dynamic Momentum Index?
The dynamic momentum index is used in technical analysis to determine if a security is overbought or oversold. This indicator, developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll, is very similar to the relative strength index (RSI). The main difference between the two is that the RSI uses a fixed number of time periods (usually 14), while the dynamic momentum index uses different time periods as volatility changes, typically between five and 30.
What is RSX?
RSI is a very popular technical indicator, because it takes into consideration market speed, direction and trend uniformity. However, the its widely criticized drawback is its noisy (jittery) appearance. The Jurk RSX retains all the useful features of RSI, but with one important exception: the noise is gone with no added lag.
Differences
RSX is used instead of RSI for the calculation, producing a much smoother result
Standard deviation is used to adapt the RSX calculation
Floating levels are used instead of fixed levels for OB/OS

NeverBot Basic Momentum ShiftNeverBots Basic Momentum Shift Script
This script is a basic up/down indicator to tell you which way momentum has shifted, this should be used as part of another system to add confluence to your already existing long or short thesis. Uses a simple algebraic equation to define the momentum and when up or down has shifted above/below the other.
Combine this with an MA strategy to get entries for a good hit rate. Typically used for intraday but you can still use this as an indicator for higher time frames.
Crypto is very volatile and momentum can shift within a few minutes which is why you will see some failed signals, but typically it works very well for catching the big moves in crypto as momentum becomes very strong due to FOMO etc..
Super Momentum OscillatorA new momentum oscillator. I uploaded this previously but it got deleted I believe because apparently my chart was too cluttered.
Hopefully this is good enough... made some updates as well since then.
What you have is six (!) momentum oscillators that can be weighed together however you please. They are centered on 0 with a fill so its also easy to overlay them (as shown).
Since momentum oscillators vary heavily chart to chart, in terms of resolution, I added that as an option so you can keep the hlines as they are.
Can be useful for spotting higher time frame moves on lower time frames without any of the repaint or needing 6 chart screens. Also a solid improvement over the indicators where people just throw a dozen different length plots together and you have no idea where to look in the end. IMO, at least.
Mix and match high and low lengths however you please.
Also it looks wicked with rasta colors. SMOke (super momentum oscillator kills everything)... your way into financial freedom, mon!
Cyber Momentum V2This Oscillator is another version of my previous Oscillator Cyber Momentum … in this version the CCI formula added to the core calculation therefore there is small differential behavior rather than Cyber Momentum because of different calculation methods …
But both of them are in the same concept; the most optimized signals are those that are in confluence of Cyber Momentum and Cyber Momentum V2 ...
LB Squeeze Momentum DivergencesThis study tries to highlight LazyBear Squeeze Momentum divergences
as they are defined by
TradingLatino TradingView user
Squeeze momentum green peaks are connected by a line
Associated prices to these green peaks are also connected
If both lines have a different slope orientation
then there is a divergence.
It only shows two last divergence lines and angles.
The original chart screenshot shows some divergence lines
on the top or main chart
these were drawn manually
because you cannot write to two different charts
from the same pine script study (Well, not in August 2020 anyways)
It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple geometric mathematics are used
to calculate the two lines degrees
Then both degrees are compared
to show if both lines agree ( // or \\ )
or if they disagree ( /\ or \/ )
SETTINGS
(SQZDiver) Show degrees : Show degrees of each Squeeze Momentum Divergence
lines to the x-axis.
(SQZDiver) Show desviation labels : Whether to show
or not desviation labels for the Squeeze Momentum Divergences.
(SQZDiver) Show desviation lines : Whether to show
or not desviation lines for the Squeeze Momentum Divergences.
(ADX) Smoothing
(ADX) DI Length
(ADX) key level
(ADX) Print : Whether to show
or not scaled ADX line
(SQZMOM) BB Length
(SQZMOM) BB MultFactor
(SQZMOM) KC Length
(SQZMOM) KC MultFactor
(SQZMOM) Use TrueRange (KC)
(SQZMOM) Print : Whether to show
or not Squeeze Momentum indicator.
WARNING
Some securities and timeframes might output degrees
too next to zero.
The code might need to be tweaked to meet your needs.
USAGE
One strategy is to sell when you are in a long entry
when you find out that the price slope is upwards ( / )
while the lb smilb slope is downwards: ( \ )
E.g. You will see:
/
\
on the indicator.
Why?
Because it might signal you that the price is
going to correct downwards soon.
FEEDBACK 1
Please let me know if there is any
other strategy based on the red side of
LB Squeeze Momentum
so that I might add support for it in the future.
FEEDBACK 2
Calculating degrees in a chart
with a different x-axis scale
is a nightmare
that's why I did not a range settings
so that values next to zero are
converted into zero
and thus showing an horizontal line.
Feedback is welcome on this matter.
EXTRA 1
If you turn off showing the divergence lines
and if you turn off showing the divergence labels
you almost get what TradingLatino user uses
as its default momentum indicator.
EXTRA 2
Optionally this indicator can show you
a rescaled ADX (it only works properly on 2020 Bitcoin charts)
ABOUT COLOURS
TradingLatino user has both dark green and light green
inverted compared to this LB SQZMOM chart.

Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear] vHMAThis is a remake of the famous LazyBear Indicator, the Squeeze Momentum Indicator.
All i did was take out the SMA's and replace them with HMA's. HMA is a more responsive moving average.
Hull Moving Average.
This is a derivative of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" volatility indicator, as discussed in his book "Mastering the Trade" (chapter 11).
Black crosses on the midline show that the market just entered a squeeze ( Bollinger Bands are with in Keltner Channel). This signifies low volatility , market preparing itself for an explosive move (up or down). Gray crosses signify "Squeeze release".
Mr.Carter suggests waiting till the first gray after a black cross, and taking a position in the direction of the momentum (for ex., if momentum value is above zero, go long). Exit the position when the momentum changes (increase or decrease --- signified by a color change). My (limited) experience with this shows, an additional indicator like ADX / WaveTrend, is needed to not miss good entry points. Also, Mr.Carter uses simple momentum indicator , while I have used a different method (linreg based) to plot the histogram.

🔗Blockchain Fundamentals - BTC Network Momentum - Cryptorhythms🔗Blockchain Fundamentals - Bitcoin Network Momentum by Cryptorhythms
Description
Network Momentum is a view created by PositiveCrypto which looks into the value transmitted through the Bitcoin blockchain denominated in BTC value plotted against Bitcoin`s price. It serves as a leading indicator of Bitcoin bull markets. Sufficiently high levels of value throughput is needed drive bull markets.
Network Momentum, if it was corrected for Bitcoin`s expanding token supply, would essentially be Bitcoin Velocity. In other words an inverse chart of NVT Ratio.
Bitcoin Network Momentum is another piece of the puzzle to help our understanding of Bitcoin fundamentals and their impact on price. Bitcoin Network Momentum looks at the relationship between Bitcoin’s price and the BTC value of daily transactions flowing through the blockchain.
It is important to note here that we are using the BTC daily value flowing through the blockchain, not the USD daily value which NVT Signal uses.
What we see when we look at this is that the BTC value of daily transactions acts as a leading indicator of Bitcoin’s major market phases.
Extras
We give you the option of changing the median price lookback length

Power Momentum by Atilla YurtsevenThe Power Momentum indicator calculates momentum in a different way. The graph may look similar. The important part is the color of the bars.
If you set the "Base Line" to "Zero", there are two important things to notice. The orange color when the bars are below the base and the blue color when the bars are above the base.
If you set the "Base Line" to "Stats", instead of coloring bar, you see the bars in exact positions. For example; "Zero" shows you orange bar below the base line but "Stats" shifts the bars over the Base line.
Momentum is calculated statistically. If the momentum moves over to the preset levels, bar colors change concurrently.
BAR STATES
Orange: Orange bar below the base line means high possibility of an upcoming up movement
Blue: Blue bar above the base line means high possibility of an upcoming down movement
I hope you enjoy this indicator. As I stated in my previous indicators, i use statistical methods while developing my indicators.
