Basic Polychromatic Momentum IndicatorBasic Polychromatic Momentum Indicator with alerts
PMI involves taking the difference between the current price and the price n periods ago, and then subtracting from it the difference between the current price and the price n periods ago, divided by n. This gives a smoothed version of the momentum indicator.
The user can also specify a smoothing factor using the "smoothing" input, which applies a simple moving average to the PMI. The resulting smoothed PMI is plotted on the chart in blue, with a dotted gray line at the zero level.
SG MomentumHello All,
I have made a momentum indicator based on the distance from exponential moving average. This captures both buy and sell cycles effectively. The logic is to calculate the distance of closing price from an exponential moving average ( I use 13 period - You are free to choose any other period) - this is the dim grey line which you can toggle off too. Then I smoothen this by calculating a 9-period EMA of the same (the green line). I further slow it down by another 9-period EMA of the same ( the red line). Now when the green lines crosses the red line from below 0 it signifies a new bull cycle and vice versa for bear cycle. This works across all timeframes. I have marked few signals in the below chart for your reference.
Momentum and AccelerationThe following oscillator is a twist on momentum, incorporating a 2nd derivative "acceleration" to help determine changes in momentum. Both are plotted directly accessing previous series values rather than using a moving average.
The script has an option to divide so the formula is d(Price)/d(Time), like a derivative. The script also provides options for the user to use their price source, volume, or a combination of price and volume.
Credit: This script utilizes the "color gradient framework" tutorial by LucF (PineCoders) to create user-adjustable gradient visuals.
Definitions
"1st Derivative - Momentum" - Momentum is most commonly referred to as a rate and measures the acceleration of the price and/or volume of a security.
"2nd Derivative - Acceleration" - Acceleration is the rate of change of momentum.
Value Added
This script may help the trader to assess directional changes in momentum easier.
This script also plots using previous series values rather than using a moving average function. To my knowledge, I was unable to find one that does this for "2nd derivative", so it had to be created.

Ollie_allcaps Momentum IndicatorMomentum is created when a security makes a large move on higher-than-average volume. Momentum shows the rate of change in price movement over a period of time to help investors determine the strength of a trend.
This indicator will create a green spike once price advances 4% and is trading above the 50-day average trading volume. However, if the stock begins to breakdown (-4% or greater on above average volume), a red spike will be created.
These green and red spikes represent a change in momentum that occurs in the selected security.
This indictor should be used in 2 ways:
1: What are the charecteristics of this stock? Does it breakdown shortly after a momentum spike? or does the security trend in orderly manner after a momentum spike?
2: Investers should use this indicator to determine the strength of a momentum breakout in real time. Has the stock made a large move, but with no significant volume?
Customization:
The Percentage move, and average daily volume can be changed as well as colors.
Alerts:
If you wish to set an alert, this indicator allows you to create an alert when the selected stock meets your desired criteria.
Price action Momentum Level/Zone (Expo) Price action Momentum Levels/Zones (Expo) indicator identifies relatively stronger Up and Down Momentum. This is visualized by a Zone, or Levels or with Barcolors depending on which settings are used.
When the market has relatively stronger momentum it can be a sign that the sellers or buyers are exhausted and the market has to pause, make a pullback, or make a trend shift.
HOW TO USE
1. Use the indicator to identify relatively stronger momentum.
2. Use the indicator to identify pullbacks or trend shifts.
3. Use the indicator to buy/short-sell breakouts of the zones.
4. Use the indicator to buy/short-sell when the price re-test the zones.

Momentum Memory Indicator
The Momentum Memory Indicator (MMI) is a custom tool designed to predict future price movements based on the historical momentum of an asset. By calculating the Rate of Change (ROC) and then averaging it over a specified "memory" period, the MMI provides a prediction that reflects both recent and slightly older momentum data. The prediction is visualized as a histogram, with colors indicating the direction of the momentum.
**Parameters:**
1. **Rate of Change Period (ROC Period):** This parameter sets the period for the Rate of Change calculation, which measures the momentum of the asset. The default value is 14.
2. **Memory Period:** This parameter determines the period over which the average momentum is calculated. By considering momentum over this "memory" period, the indicator aims to provide a more stable and reliable prediction. The default value is 5.
**Logic:**
1. **Rate of Change (Momentum):** The ROC is calculated based on the asset's closing prices over the specified ROC period. It provides a measure of how much the price has changed over that period, indicating momentum.
2. **Average Momentum:** The average momentum is calculated by taking a simple moving average (SMA) of the ROC values over the memory period. This smoothens out the momentum data and provides a more stable value for prediction.
3. **Prediction:** The prediction is calculated by adjusting the current closing price based on the average momentum. This gives an estimate of where the price might be in the next period, assuming the momentum continues.
4. **Prediction Color:** The color of the prediction histogram is determined by the direction of the average momentum. A positive momentum results in a green histogram, while a negative momentum results in a red histogram.
**Plots:**
1. **Prediction (Histogram):** Represents the predicted price movement based on the average momentum. The direction and magnitude of the histogram bars provide insights into the expected price change. The color of the bars (green or red) indicates the direction of the momentum.
Relative Strength and MomentumRelative Strength and Momentum Indicator
Unlock deeper market insights with the Relative Strength and Momentum Indicator—a powerful tool designed to help traders and investors identify the strongest stocks and sectors based on relative performance. This custom indicator displays essential information on relative strength and momentum for up to 15 different symbols, compared against a benchmark index, all within a clear and organized table format.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Inputs: Choose up to 15 symbols to compare, along with a benchmark index, allowing you to tailor the indicator to your trading strategy. The 'Lookback Period' input defines how many weeks of data are analyzed for relative strength and momentum.
2. Relative Strength Calculation: For each selected symbol, the indicator calculates the Relative Strength (RS) against the chosen benchmark. This RS is further refined using an exponential moving average (EMA) to smooth the results, providing a more stable trend overview.
3. Momentum Analysis: Momentum is determined by analyzing the rate of change in relative strength. The indicator calculates a momentum rank for each symbol, based on its relative strength’s improvement or deterioration.
4. Percentile Ranking System: Each symbol is assigned a percentile rank (from 1 to 100) based on its relative strength compared to the others. Similarly, momentum rankings are also assigned from 1 to 100, offering a clear understanding of which assets are outperforming or underperforming.
5. Visual Indicators:
a. Green: Signals improving or stable relative strength and momentum.
b. Red: Indicates declining relative strength or momentum.
c. Aqua: Highlights symbols performing well on both relative strength and momentum—ideal candidates for further analysis.
6. Two Clear Tables:
a. Relative Strength Rank Table: Displays weekly rankings of relative strength for each symbol.
b. Momentum Table: Shows momentum trends, helping you identify which symbols are gaining or losing strength.
7. Color-Coded for Easy Analysis: The tables are color-coded to make analysis quick and straightforward. A green color means the symbol is performing well in terms of relative strength or momentum, while red indicates weaker performance. Aqua marks symbols that are excelling in both areas.
Use Case:
a. Sector Comparison: Identify which sectors or indexes are showing both relative strength and momentum to pick high-potential stocks. This allows you to align with broader market trends for improved trade entries.
b. Stock Selection: Quickly compare symbols within the same sector to find the stronger performers.
Momentum Bias Index [AlgoAlpha]Description:
The Momentum Bias Index by AlgoAlpha is designed to provide traders with a powerful tool for assessing market momentum bias. The indicator calculates the positive and negative bias of momentum to gauge which one is greater to determine the trend.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Momentum Analysis: The script aims to detect momentum-trend bias, typically when in an uptrend, the momentum oscillator will oscillate around the zero line but will have stronger positive values than negative values, similarly for a downtrend the momentum will have stronger negative values. This script aims to quantify this phenomenon.
Overlay Mode: Traders can choose to overlay the indicator on the price chart for a clear visual representation of market momentum.
Take-profit Signals: The indicator includes signals to lock in profits, they appear as labels in overlay mode and as crosses when overlay mode is off.
Impulse Boundary: The script includes an impulse boundary, the impulse boundary is a threshold to visualize significant spikes in momentum.
Standard Deviation Multiplier: Users can adjust the standard deviation multiplier to increase the noise tolerance of the impulse boundary.
Bias Length Control: Traders can customize the length for evaluating bias, enabling them to fine-tune the indicator according to their trading preferences. A higher length will give a longer-term bias in trend.
Momentum Shift [Bigbeluga]
This indicator identifies momentum shifts using a smoothed momentum calculation. It plots dynamic shift zones consisting of five levels that expand or contract based on price action. When momentum rises, the indicator creates an upward shift zone, and when momentum falls, it generates a downward shift zone. The shift zones dynamically react to price, stopping extension when a level is crossed.
🔵Key Features:
Smoothed Momentum Calculation:
➣ Utilizes a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to smooth momentum and reduce noise.
➣ Identifies momentum shifts with crossovers between the current momentum value and its previous state.
➣ Uses a gradient color scheme to highlight momentum strength.
Dynamic Shift Zones:
➣ When momentum rises, the indicator plots an upper shift zone with five incremental levels.
➣ When momentum falls, a lower shift zone is formed with five descending levels.
➣ Each level within the shift zone represents a progressively stronger momentum shift.
Level Extension Control:
➣ Shift zones stop extending once a level is crossed by price.
➣ Levels closer to price act as key momentum resistance or support zones.
➣ If price retraces after a shift, the remaining levels stay intact for further reference.
Momentum Direction Indications:
➣ Labels (▲ and ▼) appear at momentum shift points to indicate rising or falling momentum.
🔵Usage:
Momentum-Based Entries: Identify momentum shifts early by using shift zones as confirmation for trade entries.
Trend Continuation & Exhaustion: Observe which shift levels price respects—if momentum shift zones hold, the trend may continue; if they break, momentum may reverse.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Use the five-level shift zones as temporary support and resistance areas that adapt to momentum shifts.
Momentum Strength Analysis: If price moves through multiple shift levels in one direction, it signals strong momentum in that direction.
Momentum Shift is a powerful tool for traders looking to analyze momentum shifts with structured visual zones. By combining smoothed momentum calculations with dynamic shift zones, this indicator provides a clear view of market momentum and helps traders navigate price action effectively.
Momentum Percentage %A Percentage Momentum Indicator (oscillator) is a technical indicator which shows the trend direction and measures the pace of the price fluctuation by comparing current and past values. Normalized to be bounded to oscillate between 0 and 100 percent of recent price variation. As is, it average true range of an instrument can be easily compared to any other because of absolute percentage variation and not prices itselves.
The benefits of Percentage Momentum
It indicates volatility
It ideal to compare fluctuation and volatility between other assets
In assets that changes btw a large range of prices like crypto it's the best way to work with momentum.
It's the right way to work with algotrading.
Multi-timeframe MomentumThe Multi-timeframe momentum indicator is similar in concept to a velocity indicator like rate-of-change, but visualizes smoothed price changes by applying an EMA and linear regression to price difference at every bar. Momentums from 1 minute to 1 quarter are plotted on a single chart using the request.security function. Standard and Fibonacci timeframes are available as well as the ability to hide high-timeframes to keep the chart clean. Like any oscillator, divergence in the momentums can be used to identify price reversals in conjunction with support and resistance. When linear regression is applied, high and low inflection points are used to identify reversals in a manner similar to MACD.
Much love to DumpCap! The script is presented sans secret sauce.

Jerry Romine Momentum Dream With Risk ManagementThe Momentum Dream Indicator with Risk Management is really two powerful indicators combined in one.
The Momentum Dream Indicator is a volatility and momentum indicator that measures the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to help identify consolidations and signal potential breakouts.
MOMENTUM DREAM INDICATOR:
SIGNALS AND ZONES:
Green Arrow = Post Squeeze Buy Triggered = GREEN ⇧ shows squeeze out on upward momentum (often a good time to buy)
Orange Arrow = Post Squeeze Sell Alert = ORANGE ⇩ shows squeeze out on downward momentum (often a good time to sell or NOT buy)
Green Dot on Chart - Day one of the buy zone
Green Shading - Buy Zone
Pink Dot on Chart - Day one of warning zone
Red Shading - Warning zone. Often a good time not to buy or to consider selling.
LABELS (Color Indicates Direction):
Momo Up / Down = Current momentum direction.
Squeeze = Squeeze is on and squeeze line dots are red.
Dots = number of day or bars the squeeze has been in red(on)
Squeeze Fired = Green or Orange arrow shows squeeze fired direction.
Stacked = Fibonacci 8, 21, 34, 55, 89 EMA are stacked up or down
SQUEEZE LINE COLOR DEFINITIONS:

The Fast Oscillator within Momentum Concepts™ comprises four components designed to provide insights into short-term momentum dynamics:
🔱Price Volume Swings :
This confirmation component uses our proprietary Price Volume Algorithm to analyze price action and volume to identify buying and selling pressure, aiding traders in spotting short-term swings for potential trading opportunities.
⚜️Price Volume Waves :
This leading component also uses our proprietary Price Volume Algorithm but differs from the Price Volume Swings by capturing dominant wave patterns instead. This indicator breaks down price and volume data into a wave-like plot which enables leading insights into market momentum due to the relatively predicable nature of sine-like waves. Leading components such as this and the Alpha Wave are best used with other confirmation components within the Momentum Concepts™ .
🌊Alpha Wave :
The Alpha Wave is a leading non-volume alternative to the Price Volume Waves . It reflects market momentum by analyzing price action only instead of using volume data, resulting in a normalized wave-like plot similar to that of the Price Volume Waves , offering a leading perspective on potential market momentum shifts. Leading components such as this and the Price Volume Waves are best used with other confirmation components within the Momentum Concepts™ .
🐲Dragon RSI :
The Dragon RSI is a confirmation component that determines market momentum by analyzing the directional movement of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). By doing so, users are able to visually identify the current short term trend of the market as well as identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Reversal Signals :
All the Fast Oscillator components come with reversal signals that are based on the respective components being either oversold or overbought.
Divergences :
All the Fast Oscillator components come with bullish and bearish divergences. Divergences within the Fast Oscillator components of Momentum Concepts ™ offer crucial signals for trend shifts. 🔱 Price Volume Swings and ⚜️ Price Volume Waves detect weakening buying or selling pressure, signalling potential reversals or continuations. 🌊 Alpha Wave and 🐲 Dragon RSI identify divergences between momentum and price, aiding traders in anticipating market movements. Leveraging these divergences enhances analysis, aiding traders in formulating meaningful analysis.
Customizable Signal Processing Methods :
All the Fast Oscillator components come with customizable signal processing methods to identify trends on the Fast Oscillator , they include (but not limited to) methods such as Heiken Ashi, and a vast selection of Moving Averages.
Diminishing Momentum Warning :
All the Fast Oscillator components come with a diminishing momentum warning that represents a reducing momentum on the Fast Oscillator . This can act as a take profit signal or as a precautionary warning that the price is about to change direction soon even though the Fast Oscillator has not detected it yet.
Dynamically Colored Reversal Zones :
Last but not least, the dynamic coloring of the reversal zones for Fast Oscillator can be customised based on either the reversal probability of the Fast Oscillator or based on the overall trend confluence of all the components within the Momentum Concepts™ indicator.
The Momentum Impulse Oscillator in Momentum Concepts™ offers crucial insights into long-term momentum trends, aiding traders in identifying the underlying momentum regime and differentiating between trending and consolidating markets.
Underlying Momentum Bias
By default, the Momentum Impulse Oscillator is set to show the longer term trend of price action, this can be used to set the directional bias for the markets and prevent users from trading against the trend.
Trending/Ranging Detection
The Momentum Impulse Oscillator comes with the option to enable trending thresholds, when the Momentum Impulse Oscillator is beyond these thresholds, it indicates a trending market, when Momentum Impulse Oscillator is within the thresholds, it indicates a consolidating/ranging market.
The Scalper's Momentum within Momentum Concepts™ furnishes traders with nuanced signals ideal for short to medium-term trading strategies. It efficiently displays both the medium-term momentum and any emerging divergences towards the opposing direction.
Medium-Term Momentum
The Scalper's Momentum is designed to fill the analysis gap between the Fast Oscillator and the Momentum Impulse Oscillator . Showing momentum insights over the medium-term.
Momentum Convergence-Divergence
The Scalper's Momentum is also capable of showing momentum convergences and divergences, which can be used as take-profit and/or confirmation signals to other components within Momentum Concepts™ .
The Hidden Liquidity Flow component of Momentum Concepts™ is designed to uncover underlying liquidity dynamics. This feature enables traders to anticipate potential price movements based on changes in liquidity flow, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Underlying Liquidity Dynamics
The Hidden Liquidity Flow shows the underlying liquidity flow of the market, a positive liquidity flow indicates that liquidity is entering the market and increasing the probability of bullish price action, the opposite is true for negative liquidity flows.
Excess Liquidity Flow
The Hidden Liquidity Flow also indicates when there is an abnormal amount of liquidity flowing through the market, this can indicate the potential for volatility and explosive price action.
🎯Usage Examples:
Now that we have gone through the components and features of Momentum Concepts™ in detail, we'll walk you through the usage examples and strategies that you can utilise to navigate the markets.
Scalping
Using the Scalper's Momentum and the Fast Oscillator as an example, users can first use the Scalper's Momentum as a directional bias and the Fast Oscillator as a means of timing a more precise entry. Take profits can be based on either the Diminishing Momentum Warnings or the Fast Oscillator flipping signals or the Scalper's Momentum flipping signals.
Buying the Dip/Shorting the Pump
Using the Momentum Impulse Oscillator and the Fast Oscillator as an example, users will need to first determine the underlying trend with the Momentum Impulse Oscillator , after which they can use the Fast Oscillator for entry signals into the trend. Take profits can be based on either the Diminishing Momentum Warnings or the Fast Oscillator flipping signals
Reversal Trading
Using the Momentum Impulse Oscillator on a timeframe roughly 3-4 times greater than the chart's timeframe and the Fast Oscillator as an example, users will need to first ensure that the Momentum Impulse Oscillator signals a ranging market on a higher timeframe, divergence signals from the Fast Oscillator can then be used as entries. Take profits can be based on either the Diminishing Momentum Warnings or the Fast Oscillator flipping signals or the Fast Oscillator reaching the zero line.

1. On the last trading day of each month, calculate the “momentum score” for the S&P 500 ( SPY ) and the international small cap equities (SCZ). The momentum score is the average of the 1, 3, and 6-month total return for each asset.
2. If the momentum score of SCZ > SPY and is greater than 0, invest in SCZ.
3. If the momentum score of SPY > SCZ and is greater than 0, invest in SPY .
4. If neither momentum score is greater than 0, calculate the 1-month total return for long-term US Treasuries ( TLT ) and US TIPS (TIP). Invest in whichever has the higher return.

Momentum Squeeze Scalper [M2S} [ITZS]Overview
The Momentum Squeeze Scalper is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential breakout opportunities in the market. It combines elements of momentum analysis with a "squeeze" concept based on Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels.
Key Components
1. Squeeze Detection
The indicator uses two types of squeezes:
a) Loose TTM Fire (Loose Squeeze): Represented by orange dots. This occurs when one side of the Bollinger Bands is inside the Keltner Channel.
b) Strict TTM Fire (Strict/Tight Squeeze): Represented by green dots. This happens when both sides of the Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channel.
These squeezes can indicate potential breakouts in either direction (long or short).
Long Squeeze: Occurs when prices are compressed at a low level, potentially leading to an upward breakout.
Short Squeeze: Happens when prices are compressed at a high level, possibly leading to a downward breakout.
2. Momentum Line
The Momentum Line is a key feature of this indicator. Its color changes based on specific conditions:
Color 0 (White): Default color, indicating neutral momentum.
Color 1 (Green): Indicates positive momentum. This color appears when:
1. The histogram is positive and increasing, or
2. The momentum is increasing during a squeeze (loose or strict), or
3. There's a strict squeeze in place.
Color 2 (Red): Indicates negative momentum. This color appears when:
1. The histogram is negative and decreasing, or
2. The momentum is decreasing during a squeeze (loose or strict), or
3. There's a strict squeeze in place.
The changing colors of the Momentum Line help traders quickly identify shifts in market momentum and potential trading opportunities.
3. Signal Line
The orange line is the signal line, which is a smoothed version of the momentum line. It can help confirm trend changes when it crosses the momentum line.
Inputs and Their Effects
1. Momentum Period (default: 17):
Purpose: Determines the lookback period for momentum calculation.
Effect: A longer period makes the indicator less sensitive to short-term price changes, resulting in smoother momentum lines but potentially slower signals. A shorter period will make the indicator more responsive to recent price action but may increase noise.
2. Signal Period (default: 8):
Purpose: Sets the smoothing period for the signal line.
Effect: A shorter period makes it more responsive to recent price action, potentially providing earlier signals but with a higher chance of false alerts. A longer period creates a smoother signal line, reducing false signals but potentially delaying entry/exit points.
3. Smooth Momentum (default: false):
Purpose: Determines whether to use EMA smoothing on the source price before momentum calculation.
Effect: When true, it can reduce noise in the momentum calculation, potentially providing clearer signals in choppy markets. When false, it responds more quickly to price changes.
Smoothing Period (default: 1):
Purpose: Sets the period for EMA smoothing when Smooth Momentum is true.
Effect: A higher value creates a smoother momentum line, potentially reducing false signals but also increasing lag.
BB Length (default: 7):
Purpose: Defines the period for Bollinger Bands calculation.
Effect: A shorter length makes the bands more sensitive to price changes, potentially identifying squeezes more quickly but also increasing the chance of false signals. A longer length creates more stable bands but may delay squeeze identification.
StDev (default: 1.0):
Purpose: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands.
Effect: Higher values create wider bands, making squeezes less frequent but potentially more significant. Lower values create tighter bands, increasing the frequency of squeezes but potentially reducing their reliability.
Keltner Length (default: 1):
Purpose: Sets the period for Keltner Channel calculation.
Effect: A longer length creates a wider, more stable channel, reducing the frequency of squeezes but potentially making them more reliable. A shorter length creates a tighter channel, increasing squeeze frequency but potentially reducing significance.
Multiplier (default: 0.5):
Purpose: Multiplier for Keltner Channel width.
Effect: Higher values create a wider channel, making squeezes less frequent but potentially more significant. Lower values create a tighter channel, increasing squeeze frequency but potentially reducing their reliability.
KC Smoothing Period (default: 10):
Purpose: Determines the smoothing period for the momentum histogram.
Effect: A longer period creates a smoother histogram, potentially reducing false signals but increasing lag. A shorter period makes the histogram more responsive but potentially noisier.
Smoothing Type (default: None):
Purpose: Allows selection of different smoothing algorithms for the momentum histogram.
Effect: Different smoothing types (e.g., ALMA, DEMA, EMA) can affect how quickly the histogram responds to price changes and how smooth the resulting line is. This can impact the timing and frequency of momentum color changes.
How to Use the Indicator
Look for squeeze dots (orange or green) to identify periods of low volatility.
Pay attention to the color of the Momentum Line:
1. Green suggests potential bullish momentum
2. Red suggests potential bearish momentum
Use the histogram for additional confirmation of momentum strength and direction.
Consider entering trades when the squeeze dots disappear and the Momentum Line shows a strong color signal (green for long, red for short).
How to Adjust the Indicator
1. For More Frequent Signals: Decrease the Momentum Period, Signal Period, BB Length, and Keltner Length. Increase the StDev and decrease the Multiplier. This will make the indicator more sensitive but may increase false signals.
2. For Fewer, More Reliable Signals: Increase the Momentum Period, Signal Period, BB Length, and
Keltner Length. Decrease the StDev and increase the Multiplier. This will reduce sensitivity but may miss some opportunities.
3. To Detect Stronger Squeezes: Increase the StDev for Bollinger Bands and decrease the Multiplier for Keltner Channels. This will make it harder for squeezes to occur, potentially identifying stronger setups.
4. To Reduce Noise: Enable Smooth Momentum and increase the Smoothing Period. Choose a smoothing type like EMA or DEMA for the histogram. This can help in choppy or ranging markets.
5. For Faster Response: Decrease the Momentum Period and Signal Period, and choose a responsive smoothing type like EMA for the histogram. This can be useful in fast-moving markets but may increase false signals.
Interpretation and Trading
1. Squeeze Formation: When you see orange (loose) or green (strict) dots, it indicates a potential buildup of energy in the market. This compression often precedes a significant move.
2. Momentum Direction: Watch the Momentum Line color changes:
Transition to Green: Suggests increasing bullish momentum, especially during a squeeze.
Transition to Red: Suggests increasing bearish momentum, especially during a squeeze.
White: Indicates neutral momentum or no clear direction.
3. Confirmation: Look for the Momentum Line (colored) to cross above the Signal Line (orange) for bullish confirmation, or below for bearish confirmation.
4. Exit Signals: When the squeeze dots disappear and the Momentum Line color changes, it often indicates that the compressed energy has been released, and the strong move may be ending.
5. Trend Strength: The distance between the Momentum Line and the Signal Line can indicate trend strength. A wider gap suggests a stronger trend.
Remember, no indicator is perfect. Always use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management. It's recommended to backtest and practice with this indicator on historical data before using it in live trading. Adjust the inputs based on your trading style, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset you're trading.

Polychromatic Momentum: A Refined Approach to Momentum Calculation in Technical Analysis
In the world of finance and trading, technical analysis plays a crucial role in understanding price movements and making informed decisions. One popular method in technical analysis is calculating momentum, which indicates the strength of a trend by analyzing the rate of change in prices. The following explains a specific implementation of momentum calculation known as Polychromatic Momentum, highlighting its features and potential advantages over traditional momentum calculations.
Polychromatic Momentum Calculation
Polychromatic Momentum enhances the traditional momentum calculation by employing a weighted approach to momentum values. This method begins by initializing two variables to store the cumulative momentum values and their respective weights throughout the calculation process.
The calculation iterates through the range of the price data. For each iteration, a weight is calculated as the square root of the index plus one. The weight serves as a scaling factor, emphasizing more recent price changes over older ones. This allows the Polychromatic Momentum to account for the significance of recent trends in the market.
Next, the momentum value for the current index is calculated by finding the difference between the current source price and the source price at the previous index. This difference is then divided by the calculated weight. The momentum value is added to the cumulative sum, and the weight is added to the sum of weights.
Once the iteration is complete, the Polychromatic Momentum is obtained by dividing the cumulative sum of momentum values by the sum of weights. This calculation method provides a more nuanced understanding of the momentum by taking into account the varying importance of price changes over time.
Polychromatic Momentum offers a different approach to momentum calculation compared to regular momentum. While both methods aim to measure the strength of a trend by analyzing the rate of change in prices, their calculations differ in certain aspects, which may result in advantages for Polychromatic Momentum.
Regular momentum is calculated by subtracting the price value at a specific period in the past from the current price value. This method provides a simple and straightforward way to determine the price change over a fixed period.
Polychromatic Momentum, on the other hand, employs a weighted approach to momentum values. It calculates the momentum by considering a range of price changes over time and assigning weights to each change based on their recency. This approach aims to capture the varying importance of price changes over time, which can be beneficial in certain market conditions.
Some potential advantages of Polychromatic Momentum over regular momentum include:
1. Responsiveness: Polychromatic Momentum places greater emphasis on recent price changes, making it more responsive to new trends in the market. This responsiveness could provide timely signals for traders to capitalize on emerging trends.
2. Enhanced Trend Analysis: By considering a range of price changes over time and assigning weights to each change, Polychromatic Momentum can provide a more comprehensive analysis of the market trends. This can help traders better understand the overall momentum and make more informed decisions.
3. Flexibility: Polychromatic Momentum's weighted approach allows for greater flexibility in adapting to different market conditions and timeframes. Traders can experiment with different weighting schemes to optimize the momentum calculation for their specific trading strategies and goals.
In conclusion, Polychromatic Momentum offers a more refined approach to momentum calculation in technical analysis compared to traditional methods. By using a weighted approach, it effectively takes into account the varying importance of price changes over time, providing traders with a more insightful and responsive measure of market trends.
What is Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average?
In financial markets and trading, technical analysis serves as a critical tool for evaluating price trends and making strategic decisions. A key component of technical analysis is the moving average, which averages price data over a specified period to smooth out fluctuations and identify market trends. While the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a popular moving average variant that emphasizes recent data points, the Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average (DSEMA) takes it a step further by incorporating two layers of EMA calculations for more advanced smoothing. The following delve into the DSEMA methodology, explaining its working mechanism and the logic behind the technique without referring to specific code variables.
Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average Explanation
DSEMA is a function that processes source price data and the length of the smoothing period as its inputs. Its primary objective is to minimize noise in the price data and generate a smoother output, which can be advantageous for detecting trends and making informed trading decisions.
The DSEMA calculation begins by determining the alpha value, which is the smoothing factor for the EMA. The alpha value is derived from the square root of the length of the smoothing period, ensuring that it falls between 0 and 1. A higher alpha value leads to a more responsive EMA, while a lower alpha value results in a slower-moving EMA that is less affected by recent price fluctuations.
The core of the DSEMA calculation involves applying two layers of EMA. The first layer calculates the initial EMA using the source price data and the alpha value. This first EMA places more weight on recent price data points, similar to a regular EMA.
The second layer calculates another EMA using the initial EMA values and the same alpha value. This second layer of EMA provides additional smoothing to the price data, resulting in a smoother output curve that is less prone to noise and sudden market changes. The final output of the DSEMA is the result of the second EMA layer.
In summary, the Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average (DSEMA) offers an advanced approach to price data smoothing in technical analysis by applying two successive layers of EMA calculations. This technique enhances the detection of market trends and helps reduce the impact of noise in price data, providing traders with a more reliable representation of price movements to support their decision-making process.
Combining DSEMA and Polychromatic Momentum
DSEMA is an advanced smoothing technique that applies two layers of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) calculations to reduce noise in price data and produce a smoother representation of the market trends. On the other hand, Polychromatic Momentum is a momentum calculation method that employs a weighted approach to assess the strength of trends by analyzing the rate of change in prices over time.
By combining the two techniques, DSEMA can be used to smooth the source price data before inputting it into the Polychromatic Momentum calculation. This combination allows for a more accurate representation of price movements, as the smoothed price data provided by DSEMA minimizes the impact of sudden market fluctuations and noise on the momentum calculation.
The result is an enhanced technical analysis tool that leverages the benefits of advanced price smoothing from DSEMA and the refined trend assessment of Polychromatic Momentum. This integrated approach can help traders gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed decisions based on reliable, noise-reduced price data and nuanced momentum calculations.
For our purposes here, only the source price can be smoothed and it's turned off by default. The smoothing period is zero by default. Any period above 0 and the smoothing will kick in. Try a period of 5.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
Heiken Ashi "better" candles are a modified version of the standard Heiken Ashi candles, which are a popular charting technique used in technical analysis. Heiken Ashi candles help traders identify trends and potential reversal points by smoothing out price data and reducing market noise. The "better formula" was proposed by Sebastian Schmidt in an article published by BNP Paribas in Warrants & Zertifikate, a German magazine, in August 2004. The aim of this formula is to further improve the smoothing of the Heiken Ashi chart and enhance its effectiveness in identifying trends and reversals.
Standard Heiken Ashi candles are calculated using the following formulas:
Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
The "better formula" modifies the standard Heiken Ashi calculation by incorporating additional smoothing, which can help reduce noise and make it easier to identify trends and reversals. The modified formulas for Heiken Ashi "better" candles are as follows:
Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Better Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Better Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Better Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Better Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Smoothing Factor = 2 / (N + 1), where N is the chosen period for smoothing
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Better Heiken Ashi Open * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Better Heiken Ashi Close * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
The smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open and Close values are then used to calculate the smoothed Better Heiken Ashi High and Low values, resulting in "better" candles that provide a clearer representation of the market trend and potential reversal points.
It's important to note that, like any other technical analysis tool, Heiken Ashi "better" candles are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to make well-informed trading decisions.
Heiken Ashi "better" candles, as mentioned previously, provide a clearer representation of market trends and potential reversal points by reducing noise and smoothing out price data. When using these candles in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, traders can gain valuable insights into market behavior and make more informed decisions.
To effectively use Heiken Ashi "better" candles in your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
Trend Identification: Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you identify the prevailing trend in the market. When the majority of the candles are green (or another color, depending on your chart settings) and there are no or few lower wicks, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, when the majority of the candles are red (or another color) and there are no or few upper wicks, it may signal a strong downtrend.
Trend Reversals: Look for potential trend reversals when a change in the color of the candles occurs, especially when accompanied by longer wicks. For example, if a green candle with a long lower wick is followed by a red candle, it could indicate a bearish reversal. Similarly, a red candle with a long upper wick followed by a green candle may suggest a bullish reversal.
Support and Resistance: You can use Heiken Ashi "better" candles to identify potential support and resistance levels. When the candles are consistently moving in one direction and then suddenly change color with longer wicks, it could indicate the presence of a support or resistance level.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Using Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you manage risk by determining optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels. For instance, you can place your stop-loss below the low of the most recent green candle in an uptrend or above the high of the most recent red candle in a downtrend.
Confirming Signals: Heiken Ashi "better" candles should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your analysis.
In this implementation, you have the choice of AMA, KAMA, or T3 smoothing. These are as follows:
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a type of adaptive moving average used in technical analysis to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. The KAMA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the market's volatility, making it more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calm markets. The KAMA is calculated using three different efficiency ratios that determine the appropriate smoothing factor for the current market conditions. These ratios are based on the noise level of the market, the speed at which the market is moving, and the length of the moving average. The KAMA is a popular choice among traders who prefer to use adaptive indicators to identify trends and potential reversals.
Adaptive Moving Average
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average that adjusts its sensitivity to price movements based on market conditions. It uses a ratio between the current price and the highest and lowest prices over a certain lookback period to determine its level of smoothing. The AMA can help reduce lag and increase responsiveness to changes in trend direction, making it useful for traders who want to follow trends while avoiding false signals. The AMA is calculated by multiplying a smoothing constant with the difference between the current price and the previous AMA value, then adding the result to the previous AMA value.
T3
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.

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: Polychromatic Momentum as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Polychromatic Momentum
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.

]█ Setting up the GKD
The GKD system involves chaining indicators together. These are the steps to set this up.
Use a GKD-C indicator alone on a chart
1. Inside the GKD-C indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Solo Confirmation Simple"
Use a GKD-V indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Use a GKD-B indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Baseline (Baseline, Backtest)
1. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
2. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Baseline"
Volatility/Volume (Volatility/Volume, Backte st)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Solo"
2. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Signal Type" setting to "Crossing" (neither traditional nor both can be backtested)
3. Import the GKD-V indicator into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into C1 or Backtest"
4. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Volatility/Volume"
5. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, a) change the setting "Backtest Type" to "Trading" if using a directional GKD-V indicator; or, b) change the setting "Backtest Type" to "Full" if using a directional or non-directional GKD-V indicator (non-directional GKD-V can only test Longs and Shorts separately)
6. If "Backtest Type" is set to "Full": Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Side" to "Long" or "Short
7. If "Backtest Type" is set to "Full": To allow the system to open multiple orders at one time so you test all Longs or Shorts, open the GKD-BT Backtest, click the tab "Properties" and then insert a value of something like 10 orders into the "Pyramiding" settings. This will allow 10 orders to be opened at one time which should be enough to catch all possible Longs or Shorts.
Solo Confirmation Simple (Confirmation, Backtest)
1. Inside the GKD-C indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Solo Confirmation Simple"
1. Import the GKD-C indicator into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Backtest"
2. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Solo Confirmation Simple"
Solo Confirmation Complex without Exits (Baseline, Volatility/Volume, Confirmation, Backtest)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Chained"
2. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-V indicator: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
3. Inside the GKD-C indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Solo Confirmation Complex"
4. Import the GKD-V indicator into the GKD-C indicator: "Input into C1 or Backtest"
5. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "GKD Full wo/ Exits"
6. Import the GKD-C into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Exit or Backtest"
Solo Confirmation Complex with Exits (Baseline, Volatility/Volume, Confirmation, Exit, Backtest)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Chained"
2. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-V indicator: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
3. Inside the GKD-C indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Solo Confirmation Complex"
4. Import the GKD-V indicator into the GKD-C indicator: "Input into C1 or Backtest"
5. Import the GKD-C indicator into the GKD-E indicator: "Input into Exit"
6. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "GKD Full w/ Exits"
7. Import the GKD-E into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Backtest"
Full GKD without Exits (Baseline, Volatility/Volume, Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, Continuation, Backtest)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Chained"
2. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-V indicator: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
3. Inside the GKD-C 1 indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Confirmation 1"
4. Import the GKD-V indicator into the GKD-C 1 indicator: "Input into C1 or Backtest"
5. Inside the GKD-C 2 indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Confirmation 2"
6. Import the GKD-C 1 indicator into the GKD-C 2 indicator: "Input into C2"
7. Inside the GKD-C Continuation indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Continuation"
8. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "GKD Full wo/ Exits"
9. Import the GKD-E into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Exit or Backtest"
Full GKD with Exits (Baseline, Volatility/Volume, Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, Continuation, Exit, Backtest)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Chained"
2. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-V indicator: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
3. Inside the GKD-C 1 indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Confirmation 1"
4. Import the GKD-V indicator into the GKD-C 1 indicator: "Input into C1 or Backtest"
5. Inside the GKD-C 2 indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Confirmation 2"
6. Import the GKD-C 1 indicator into the GKD-C 2 indicator: "Input into C2"
7. Inside the GKD-C Continuation indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Continuation"
8. Import the GKD-C Continuation indicator into the GKD-E indicator: "Input into Exit"

10. Import the GKD-E into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Backtest"
Baseline + Volatility/Volume (Baseline, Volatility/Volume, Backtest)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Baseline + Volatility/Volume"
2. Inside the GKD-V indicator, make sure the "Signal Type" setting is set to "Traditional"
3. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-V indicator: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
4. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Baseline + Volatility/Volume"
5. Import the GKD-V into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into C1 or Backtest"
6. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Type" to "Full". For this backtest, you must test Longs and Shorts separately
7. To allow the system to open multiple orders at one time so you can test all Longs or Shorts, open the GKD-BT Backtest, click the tab "Properties" and then insert a value of something like 10 orders into the "Pyramiding" settings. This will allow 10 orders to be opened at one time which should be enough to catch all possible Longs or Shorts.
