Momentum [Dynamic & Flow] (Expo)Momentum Dynamic & Flow (Expo) is a useful indicator that displays the momentum - as dynamic & flow, as well as where the momentum begins to stall.
♢ Momentum -Dynamic can be used to identify overbought and oversold areas.
♢ Momentum -Flow can be used to identify if the current trend has strong momentum.
♢ When momentum begins to stall it can be identifiable turning points, areas of congestion. However, it's not a sign that the trend is over, see it as "heads up" This is displayed with green and red colors on the moving average.
Momentum can be displayed at the top/bottom of the chart or above/below the bars. The user can also display momentum as BGcolor.
The indicator can be used standalone or as a part of your current trading strategy
HOW TO USE
1. Use the indicator to identify where the momentum stall.
2. Use the indicator to identify overbought/oversold areas with momentum -Dynamic.
3. Use the indicator to confirm the existence, or a continuation, of a trend with momentum -Flow.

Momentum 4 Ways Smoothed [Salty]This is an enhance version of Momentum 4 Ways that shows 4 ways to calculate momentum and display each one along with their combined average value.
This study was created to compare 4 different momentum values against their combined average using different display styles to allow the user to experiment with different views of momentum.
- Added the ability to smooth the Average Momentum value. Default Smoothing value is 5.
- Added the ability to use different average calculations. Default is WMA.
- Added the ability to select the number of momentum values to average (1-4). Default is 4.
- Added the ability to use VWAP instead of price as the input.
The Smoothed Average Momentum line is color coded so that it is green when it is moving in the bullish direction and red when it is moving in the bearish direction.
matrix momentum packageThis indicator gives a score to the momentum of a market in a percentage term based on a combination of measurements, this can be used on any time frame, on any instrument to identify if the current trend has enough momentum to see it carry on further this will help eliminate fomo and also help you to identify reversals in the chart at the right time so you can eliminate exposure to a market about to reverse, there is 4 levels to this indicator you have a strong bullish trend denote by green bars the weaker bullish trend denoted by the olive coloured bars, a weak bearish trend which is given in maroon bars and a strong bearish trend which gives red bars you will also note the 2 horizontal boundary lines these are not overbought and oversold bounds like in most indicators but actually indicate whether there is sufficient momentum in the market as the idea is that in strong momentum you want it to be above or below this line to give you confidence there is momentum available to ride
Momentum RibbonThe Momentum Ribbon is a collection of Moving Averages which indicate the severity of pull-backs in a given market.
As the ribbon spreads apart, it indicates more and more significant support/resistance for a trending market. As it is compressed back together, it displays a blue colour to indicate a "cooling" of trend momentum.
Adjustable Moving Average periods and types! You can customize the parameters of your ribbon to your heart's content!
Momentum Tick Based IndicatorCustom Indicator using tick data to display momentum. (The arrows are the channel breakout arrows that you can find in default scripts.)
Momentum (80) + ATR (14)his indicator combines two essential technical analysis tools in a single panel for enhanced market insight:
🔹 Momentum (80 periods): Measures the difference between the current price and the price 80 bars ago. Displayed as a semi-transparent filled area, it helps to visually identify shifts in price momentum over a longer timeframe.
🔸 ATR (Average True Range, 14 periods): Shown as a fine orange line, the ATR represents average market volatility over 14 periods, highlighting phases of calm or increased price fluctuations.
By viewing both momentum and volatility simultaneously, traders can better assess trend strength and market conditions, improving decision-making across assets such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.

Momentum Zones [TradersPro]OVERVIEW
The Momentum Zones indicator is designed for momentum stock traders to provide a visible trend structure with actionable price levels. The indicator has been designed for high-growth, bullish stocks on a daily time frame but can be used on any chart and timeframe.
Momentum zones help traders focus on the momentum structure of price, enabling disciplined trading plans with specific entry, exit, and risk management levels.
It is built using CCI values, allowing for fixed trend range calculations. It is most effective when applied to screens of stocks with high RSI, year-to-date (YTD) price gains of 25% or higher, as well as stocks showing growth in both sales and earnings quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.
CONCEPTS
The indicator defines and colors uptrends (green), downtrends (red), and trends in transition or pausing (yellow).
The indicator can be used for new trend entry or trend continuation entry. New trend entry can be done on the first green bar after a red bar. Trend continuation entries can be done with the first green bar after a yellow bar. The yellow transition zones can be used as price buffers for stop-loss management on new entries.
To see the color changes, users need to be sure to uncheck the candlestick color settings. This can be done by right-clicking the chart, going to Symbols, and unchecking the candle color body, border, and wick boxes.
Remember to check them if the indicator is turned off, or the candles will be blank with no color.
The settings also correspond to the screening function to get a list of stocks entering various momentum zones so you can have a prime list of the stocks meeting any other fundamental criteria you may desire. Traders can then use the indicator for the entry and risk structure of the trading plan.
Momentum Indicator [LeonidasCrypto]This indicator is the result of the combination of 3 indicators giving you a very powerful strategy.
Coppock Curve Indicator Summary
The Coppock Curve (CC) was introduced by economist Edwin Coppock in an October 1962 issue of Barron's
While useful, the indicator is not commonly discussed among traders and investors. Traditionally used to spot long-term trend changes in major stock indexes, traders can use the indicator for any time and in any market to isolate potential trend shifts and generate trade signals.
How to use it:
0 line is the key level Above 0 line the momentum is getting strong(bullish) below 0 line the momentum is weak(bearish)
Buy signal:
In combination with ADX, Volatility :
Wait for the curve color turning to Dark Purple(weak bearish momentum) and ADX slope in the opposite side of the trend
Sell Signal.
Wait for the curve color turning to Dark Blue (weak bull momentum) and ADX slope in the opposite side of the trend
Explosive Moves.
This indicator will help you to catch explosive moves :
Wait for the bar in the bottom of the indicator turned blue color low volatility. Enter in the next buy/sell signal following the rules I described above using this strategy you will catch in many cases very good move.
Divergences:
This indicator will help you to identify divergences
Combine the divergences generated by this indicator with the sell/bull signals to increase the probabilities for a good trade setup.
Momentum Performance This Indicator displays the momentum (performance) of the symbol in percent.
You can compare the performance with other symbols.
The default benchmarks are the S&P 500, the MSCI World and the FTSE All World EX US.
The default length corresponds to one year in the timeframes monthly, weekly and daily.
In intraday the default length is 200, but you can also set your own setting.
You have also the opportunity to display a average momentum performance of the main symbol.
Momentum Indicator avg short return minus avg long returnAverage daily return over the period 2-12 months ago minus the average daily return over the period 1-5 years ago
=> a higher return 2-12 months ago indicates a higher return in coming months according to research, because of the momentum risk factor premium
=> a higher return 1-5 years ago indicates a lower return in coming months according to research, because of the momentum risk factor premium
Momentum Acceleration by DGTItalian physicist Galileo Galilei is usually credited with being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes. Galileo defined speed as the distance covered during a period of time. In equation form, that is v = Δd / Δt where v is speed, Δd is change in distance, and Δt is change in time. The Greek symbol for delta, a triangle (Δ), means change.
Is the speed getting faster or slower?
Acceleration will be the answer, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed over a set period of time, meaning something is getting faster or slower. Mathematically expressed, acceleration denoted as a is a = Δv / Δt , where Δv is the change in speed and Δt is the change in time.
How to apply in trading
Lets think about Momentum, Rate of Return, Rate of Change all are calculated in almost same approach with Speed
Momentum measures change in price over a specified time period,
Rate of Change measures percent change in price over a specified time period,
Rate of Return measures the net gain or loss over a specified time period,
And Speed measures change in distance over a specified time period
So we may state that measuring the change in distance is also measuring the change in price over a specified time period which is length, hence
speed can be calculated as (source – source )/length and acceleration becomes (speed – speed )/length
In this study acceleration is used as signal line and result plotted as arrows demonstrating bull or bear direction where direction changes can be considered as trading setups
Just a little fun, since we deal with speed the short name of the study is named after famous cartoon character Speedy Gonzales

Momentum heatmap @CosmonautCExplanation:
14 different indicators 4 public ones (RSI, StochRSI, CCI and Wavetrend oscillator) the rest are custom private ones of preexisting momentum indicators or completely custom ones created by me.
To determine green-red color the indicators are assesed on 7 different metrics and then given a score of 1-100 based on the current state of those 7 metrics. The length input is universal meaning all indicators and metrics will be affected by it. Source input is only for indicators.
It might take a bit to load as the code is all in all around 600 lines and due to a large amount of custom functions and if statements
Usage:
darker green = buy
Darker red = sell
light green= approaching good buy opportunity/buy opportunity in shaky markets
Light red = same as light green but for sells
gray/almost no color = undecided/turning point
Enjoy!

Momentum Linear RegressionThe original script was posted on ProRealCode by user Nicolas.
This is an indicator made of the linear regression applied to the rate of change of price (or momentum). I made a simple signal line just by duplicating the first one within a period decay in the past, to make those 2 lines cross. You can add more periods decay to made signal smoother with less false entry.
Median Momentum with Buy/Sell Signals and Bar ColorMomentum Calculation:
Momentum is calculated as the difference between the current close price and the close price momentum_length periods ago: momentum = close - close .
Highest and Lowest Momentum:
The highest and lowest momentum values over the specified length are calculated.
Median Momentum:
The median momentum is calculated as the average of the highest and lowest momentum values.
Color Setting:
medianColor is set based on whether the momentum is above, below, or equal to the median momentum.
barColor is set similarly for bar coloring.
Plotting:
The script plots the median momentum and the actual momentum values.
Buy and sell signals are generated when momentum crosses over or under the median momentum.
The script also plots the buy and sell signals with arrows on the chart.
[ITS] Volume Based Buy and Sell Momentum by 2tmThe Volume-Based Buy and Sell Momentum indicator by 2TM is a custom momentum analysis tool originally developed for NinjaTrader, now adapted for TradingView. It combines volume behavior, rate of change (ROC), and smoothed moving averages to detect directional momentum and potential trade bias shifts based on volume delta dynamics.
🔍 How It Works:
Volume Shift Detection:
Tracks whether volume increased or decreased compared to the previous bar.
If volume increases, the ROC is added to a positive momentum tracker.
If volume decreases, the ROC is added to a negative momentum tracker.
Composite Delta Momentum:
Adds both positive and negative volume-based ROC components to create a total delta line.
Calculates a dual Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing over this data to represent a baseline expectation.
The difference between actual delta momentum and the smoothed baseline is visualized as a histogram.
Signal Smoothing:
The delta momentum is further smoothed using Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to form:
PVI_NVI: Smoothed net volume influence line.
PEMA: A slower average of the above for signal confirmation.
Color-Coded Histogram:
The histogram reflects the real-time difference between raw and smoothed delta volume.
Momentum shifts are color-coded for quick visual recognition:
Bright Green/Lime: Bullish momentum increasing.
Dark Red/Maroon: Bearish momentum increasing.
Lighter colors indicate weakening trends.
Optional Bar Coloring:
If enabled, candle bars on the chart are dynamically colored based on volume momentum conditions:
Green-tinted bars when bullish volume momentum is confirmed.
Red-tinted bars when bearish volume momentum is confirmed.
Gray bars when no clear trend is present.
🛠️ How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Use the histogram and PVI/PEMA crossover to confirm trend direction. For example:
When the histogram is rising and green, with PVI > PEMA, bullish conditions are strong.
When the histogram is falling and red, with PVI < PEMA, bearish pressure is dominant.
Entry Filtering: Combine with your price action or breakout strategy to confirm whether volume supports the move.
Early Warning: Use histogram color shifts or bar colors to identify early momentum changes before price reacts.
Divergence Spotting: Watch for cases where price makes a new high/low, but momentum (histogram or PVI_NVI) fails to confirm, signaling a possible reversal.
⚙️ Settings Overview:
ROC MA Length: Controls the sensitivity of the smoothed ROC components.
Delta MA Length: Determines how reactive the net momentum line (PVI_NVI) is.
Avg Delta MA Length: Governs the smoothing for the final confirmation line (PEMA).
Color Bars: Toggles whether chart bars are color-coded based on momentum.
Clenow MomentumClenow Momentum Method
The Clenow Momentum Method, developed by Andreas Clenow, is a systematic, quantitative trading strategy focused on capturing medium- to long-term price trends in financial markets. Popularized through Clenow’s book, Stocks on the Move: Beating the Market with Hedge Fund Momentum Strategies, the method leverages momentum—an empirically observed phenomenon where assets that have performed well in the recent past tend to continue performing well in the near future.
Theoretical Foundation
Momentum investing is grounded in behavioral finance and market inefficiencies. Investors often exhibit herding behavior, underreact to new information, or chase trends, causing prices to trend beyond fundamental values. Clenow’s method builds on academic research, such as Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), which demonstrated that stocks with high returns over 3–12 months outperform those with low returns over similar periods.
Clenow’s approach specifically uses **annualized momentum**, calculated as the rate of return over a lookback period (typically 90 days), annualized to reflect a yearly percentage. The formula is:
Momentum=(((Close N periods agoCurrent Close)^N252)−1)×100
- Current Close: The most recent closing price.
- Close N periods ago: The closing price N periods back (e.g., 90 days).
- N: Lookback period (commonly 90 days).
- 252: Approximate trading days in a year for annualization.
This metric ranks stocks by their momentum, prioritizing those with the strongest upward trends. Clenow’s method also incorporates risk management, diversification, and volatility adjustments to enhance robustness.
Methodology
The Clenow Momentum Method involves the following steps:
1. Universe Selection:
- A broad universe of liquid stocks is chosen, often from major indices (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq 100) or global exchanges.
- Filters should exclude illiquid stocks (e.g., low average daily volume) or those with extreme volatility.
2. Momentum Calculation:
- Stocks are ranked based on their annualized momentum over a lookback period (typically 90 days, though 60–120 days can be common tests).
- The top-ranked stocks (e.g., top 10–20%) are selected for the portfolio.
3. Volatility Adjustment (Optional):
- Clenow sometimes adjusts momentum scores by volatility (e.g., dividing by the standard deviation of returns) to favor stocks with smoother trends.
- This reduces exposure to erratic price movements.
4. Portfolio Construction:
- A diversified portfolio of 10–25 stocks is constructed, with equal or volatility-weighted allocations.
- Position sizes are often adjusted based on risk (e.g., 1% of capital per position).
5. Rebalancing:
- The portfolio is rebalanced periodically (e.g., weekly or monthly) to maintain exposure to high-momentum stocks.
- Stocks falling below a momentum threshold are replaced with higher-ranked candidates.
6. Risk Management:
- Stop-losses or trailing stops may be applied to limit downside risk.
- Diversification across sectors reduces concentration risk.
Implementation in TradingView
Key features include:
- Customizable Lookback: Users can adjust the lookback period in pinescript (e.g., 90 days) to align with Clenow’s methodology.
- Visual Cues: Background colors (green for positive, red for negative momentum) and a zero line help identify trend strength.
- Integration with Screeners: TradingView’s stock screener can filter high-momentum stocks, which can then be analyzed with the custom indicator.
Strengths
1. Simplicity: The method is straightforward, relying on a single metric (momentum) that’s easy to calculate and interpret.
2. Empirical Support: Backed by decades of academic research and real-world hedge fund performance.
3. Adaptability: Applicable to stocks, ETFs, or other asset classes, with flexible lookback periods.
4. Risk Management: Diversification and periodic rebalancing reduce idiosyncratic risk.
5. TradingView Integration: Pine Script implementation enables real-time visualization, enhancing decision-making for stocks like NVDA or SPY.
Limitations
1. Mean Reversion Risk: Momentum can reverse sharply in bear markets or during sector rotations, leading to drawdowns.
2. Transaction Costs: Frequent rebalancing increases trading costs, especially for retail traders with high commissions. This is not as prevalent with commission free trading becoming more available.
3. Overfitting Risk: Over-optimizing lookback periods or filters can reduce out-of-sample performance.
4. Market Conditions: Underperforms in low-momentum or highly volatile markets.
Practical Applications
The Clenow Momentum Method is ideal for:
Retail Traders: Use TradingView’s screener to identify high-momentum stocks, then apply the Pine Script indicator to confirm trends.
Portfolio Managers: Build diversified momentum portfolios, rebalancing monthly to capture trends.
Swing Traders: Combine with volume filters to target short-term breakouts in high-momentum stocks.
Cross-Platform Workflow: Integrate with Python scanners to rank stocks, then visualize on TradingView for trade execution.
Comparison to Other Strategies
Vs. Minervini’s VCP: Clenow’s method is purely quantitative, while Minervini’s Volatility Contraction Pattern (your April 11, 2025 query) combines momentum with chart patterns. Clenow is more systematic but less discretionary.
Vs. Mean Reversion: Momentum bets on trend continuation, unlike mean reversion strategies that target oversold conditions.
Vs. Value Investing: Momentum outperforms in bull markets but may lag value strategies in recovery phases.
Conclusion
The Clenow Momentum Method is a robust, evidence-based strategy that capitalizes on price trends while managing risk through diversification and rebalancing. Its simplicity and adaptability make it accessible to retail traders, especially when implemented on platforms like TradingView with custom Pine Script indicators. Traders must be mindful of transaction costs, mean reversion risks, and market conditions. By combining Clenow’s momentum with volume filters and alerts, you can optimize its application for swing or position trading.
Long Short MomentumThis indicator is designed to visualize short-term and long-term momentum trends.The indicator calculates two momentum lines based on customizable lengths: a short momentum (Short Momentum) over a smaller period and a long momentum (Long Momentum) over a longer period. These lines are plotted relative to the chosen price source, typically the closing price.
The histogram, colored dynamically based on momentum direction, gives visual cues:
Green: Both short and long momentum are positive, indicating an upward trend.
Red: Both are negative, indicating a downward trend.
Gray: Mixed momentum, suggesting potential trend indecision.
Polychromatic Momentum IndicatorPolychromatic Momentum is a generalized Momentum study considering a number of Momentum values controlled by the length input. The greatest weight is given to the most recent Momentum value, while the precedent values are given lesser weight. Each Momentum value is assigned weight equal to inverse square root of Momentum distance (number of bars prior to the current bar). Then the sum of the weighted Momentum values is divided by the sum of the square roots.
Multiple Standard MomentumMultiple Standard Momentum
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.
The calculation of the momentum indicator is based on the difference between the current price and the price of a previous period. The result is displayed on a chart, which can be positive or negative, depending on whether the current price is higher or lower than the price of the previous period. The indicator can be used on any time frame, but is generally used on short-term charts.
To use the momentum indicator , you look for two types of signals:
🔹 Crossover Signal – When the indicator crosses the zero line, it can signal a change of direction in the price trend.
🔹 Divergence – When the asset price moves in one direction and the indicator moves in the opposite direction, a divergence can be identified. This divergence may indicate a possible trend reversal.
COMPOSITION AND MODE OF USE OF THE INDICATOR
🔹 This indicator displays multiple Momentum levels on a single chart, allowing you to view multiple Momentum lines. Each level is represented on the chart where it can be hidden or shown as desired for better market analysis.
🔹 In addition, a zero trend line (also known as a horizontal trend line) has been added. The zero trend line is a horizontal line that indicates the point at which the current price equals the opening price, which allows users to draw a custom zero trend line on the chart using different colors and time periods of calculation.
* Highest performing custom setup 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 Trend Line must be in Green Color.
* When the Momentum Line Crosses the Zero Line from Bottom to Top.
🔹 Bearish:
* The Zero Trend Line must be in Red Color.
* When the Momentum Line Crosses the Zero Line from Top to Bottom.
In addition, parameters were defined to activate or deactivate the graphic signal taking into account the previous requirement (Bullish and Bearish):
🔹 Long or Buy = ▲
🔹 Short or Sell = ▼
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.
SQUEEZE MOMENTUM PRO - JBMCredits
I am not the author of the original script from which this indicator was based, the script was based on the Squeeze Momentum Indicator by the author LazzyBear
Description
The squeeze momentum PRO is a modification of an existing script that allows you to see the market movements in the form of waves, this indicator allows you to use two squeezes in a chart, the first corresponding to the current timeframe and the second to a greater timeframe. In this way it allows to operate in the direction of the greater temporality but with the impulse of the current movement of the graph.
Its main characteristic is that it provides a signal to the trader in the form of a symbol on the starter, when the indicator shows a green alert it means that both indicators are in a bullish direction so there is a probability that the price will rise, while a red symbol indicates that both temporalities show a bearish direction, so a bearish movement is more likely
The greater temporality is calculated by multiplying the current temporality, for example 1 hour, multiplied by 4, then the greater squeeze temporality will give the momentum of the 4-hour temporality, that the greater momentum will always be four times greater than the current temporality, although this can be changed in the settings.
The signals are not completely reliable so it must be used in conjunction with other indicators or analysis that allows the trader to filter the signals in a better way.
