Dynamic Momentum Shift Detector [Invesmate]Dynamic Momentum Shift Detector
Overview
The Dynamic Momentum Shift Detector is an advanced trend-following and momentum-based indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities. It combines RSI-based momentum detection, Supertrend confirmation, and EMA sentiment tracking to provide reliable buy and sell signals.
This indicator is useful for traders who rely on price action and momentum shifts to make informed trading decisions. The goal is to capture early trend reversals while filtering false signals using multiple confirmations.
Key Features & Unique Aspects
RSI (2-Period) for Momentum Detection
Uses an extremely short 2-period RSI to detect overbought (75) and oversold (25) conditions.
Buy Signal: RSI crosses above 25 and price is above the Supertrend line.
Sell Signal: RSI crosses below 75 and price is below the Supertrend line.
Supertrend for Trend Confirmation
A Supertrend (ATR 20, Factor 2) is used to validate the overall market trend.
Prevents false breakouts by ensuring buy signals occur above the Supertrend line and sell signals occur below it.
21-EMA Sentiment Filter
A 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) acts as a market sentiment indicator.
Background color changes for quick visual cues:
Green Fill: Price is above EMA (bullish sentiment).
Red Fill: Price is below EMA (bearish sentiment).
Refined Buy/Sell Confirmation Criteria
To eliminate weak signals, additional price action conditions are applied:
Buy Confirmation: Higher high, bullish close, and strong candle body (>40% of range).
Sell Confirmation: Lower low, bearish close, and strong candle body (>40% of range).
Persistent Buy/Sell Levels
Displays persistent buy and sell levels (green/red dots) on the chart.
These remain active until invalidated by price action.
Bull & Bear Momentum (RSI-8 for Strong Reversals)
Bull M (Green Triangle): RSI (8) crosses above 72 with a strong bullish candle (>60% body).
Bear M (Red Triangle): RSI (8) crosses below 27 with a strong bearish candle (>60% body).
How to Use the Indicator
Buy Setup:
✅ Look for a green "Bull R" signal when:
RSI crosses above 25.

Waldo Momentum Cloud Bollinger Bands (WMCBB)
Title: Waldo Momentum Cloud Bollinger Bands (WMCBB)
Description:
Introducing the "Waldo Momentum Cloud Bollinger Bands (WMCBB)," an innovative trading tool crafted for those who aim to deepen their market analysis by merging two dynamic technical indicators: Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands and the Waldo Cloud.
What is this Indicator?
WMCBB integrates the volatility-based traditional Bollinger Bands with a momentum-sensitive approach through the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Here’s how it works:
Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands: These bands dynamically adjust according to the RSI, which tracks the momentum of price movements. By scaling the RSI to align with price levels, we generate bands that not only reflect market volatility but also the underlying momentum, offering a refined view of overbought and oversold conditions.
Waldo Cloud: This feature adds a layer of traditional Bollinger Bands, visualized as a 'cloud' on your chart. It employs standard Bollinger Band methodology but enhances it with additional moving average layers to better define market trends.
The cloud's color changes dynamically based on various market conditions, providing visual signals for trend direction and potential trend reversals.
Why Combine These Indicators?
Combining Dynamic RSI Bollinger Bands with the Waldo Cloud in WMCBB aims to:
Enhance Trend Identification: The Waldo Cloud's color-coded system aids in recognizing the overarching market trend, while the Dynamic RSI Bands give insights into momentum changes within that trend, offering a comprehensive view.
Improve Volatility and Momentum Analysis: While traditional Bollinger Bands measure market volatility, integrating RSI adds a layer of momentum analysis, potentially leading to more accurate trading signals.
Visual Clarity: The unified color scheme for both sets of bands, which changes according to RSI levels, moving average crossovers, and price positioning, simplifies the process of gauging market sentiment at a glance.
Customization: Users have the option to toggle the visibility of moving averages (MA) through the settings, allowing for tailored analysis based on individual trading strategies.
Usage:
Utilize WMCBB to identify potential trend shifts by observing price interactions with the dynamic bands or changes in the Waldo Cloud's color.
Watch for divergences between price movements and RSI to forecast potential market reversals or continuations.
This combination shines in sideways markets where traditional indicators might fall short, as it provides additional context through RSI momentum analysis.
Settings:
Customize parameters for both the Dynamic RSI and Waldo Cloud Bollinger Bands, including the calculation source, standard deviation factors, and moving average lengths.
WMCBB is perfect for traders seeking to enhance their market analysis through the synergy of momentum and volatility, all while maintaining visual simplicity. Trade with greater insight using the Waldo Momentum Cloud Bollinger Bands!
SatoshiSteps Swing StrategyCore Components:
The indicator combines three popular technical analysis tools:
Ichimoku Cloud: This helps identify the trend, support, and resistance levels.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): This momentum oscillator identifies overbought and oversold conditions.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This trend-following momentum indicator shows the relationship between two moving averages1 of prices.
Logic:
The strategy aims to identify potential swing trading opportunities by combining signals from these three components. It essentially looks for:
Trend Confirmation (Ichimoku):
Price should be above the Ichimoku cloud for buy signals.
Price should be below the Ichimoku cloud for sell signals.
The Tenkan-sen (conversion line) should cross above the Kijun-sen (base line) for buy signals.
The Tenkan-sen should cross below the Kijun-sen for sell signals.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions (RSI):
RSI should be below the overbought level for buy signals (avoiding buying when the market is potentially overextended).
RSI should be above the oversold level for sell signals (avoiding selling when the market is potentially oversold).
Momentum Confirmation (MACD):
The MACD line should be above the signal line for buy signals (indicating upward momentum).
The MACD line should be below the signal line for sell signals (indicating downward momentum).
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when all the following conditions are met:
The Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen.
The price is above both the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B (the cloud).
The RSI is below the overbought level.
The MACD line is above the signal line.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when all the following conditions are met:
The Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen.
The price is below both the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B (the cloud).
The RSI is above the oversold level.
The MACD line is below the signal line.
Key Considerations:
Time Frame: The indicator has built-in adjustments for 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, optimizing the parameters for each.
Customization: You can customize the overbought/oversold RSI levels and the styles of the buy/sell signals (triangle, label, arrow, circle) through the indicator's settings.
Accuracy: While the strategy combines multiple indicators to improve accuracy, remember that no trading indicator is perfect. Market conditions can change rapidly, and false signals can occur.
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders, and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
GKD-C Blau Ergodic Candlestick Momentum Index [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Ergodic Candlestick Momentum Index is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
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: Ergodic 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 Ergodic Candlestick Momentum Index
What is Ergodic Candlestick Momentum Index?
The Blau Ergodic CMI-Oscillator 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 Index (CMI), 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 ¹.
The Ergodic CMI-Oscillator is calculated using the following formula:
Ergodic_CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) = CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u)
SignalLine(price1,price2,q,r,s,u,ul) = EMA(Ergodic_CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u),ul)
where:
- Ergodic_CMI(): Ergodic - Candlestick Momentum Index CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u)
- SignalLine(): Signal Line - exponentially smoothed moving average EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic
- ul: period of a signal line ¹.
The input parameters for this indicator are:
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum (default value is 1)
- r: period of the first EMA applied to Candlestick Momentum (default value is 20)
- s: period of the second EMA applied to result of the first smoothing (default value is 5)
- u: period of the third EMA applied to result of the second smoothing (default value is 3)
- ul: period of the Signal Line - EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic (default value is 3)
- AppliedPrice1: price type (default value is PRICE_CLOSE)
- AppliedPrice2: price type (default value is PRICE_OPEN) ¹.
I hope this information helps you understand what Blau Ergodic CMI-Oscillator is and how it works.

Squeeze Momentum Indicator [CHE] Squeeze Momentum Indicator
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator is an improved and simplified version of the classic Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear. It focuses on precise detection of squeeze phases without relying on Keltner Channels (KC) or complex momentum calculations. Instead, it emphasizes the dynamic analysis of Bollinger Band widths and their distance changes to provide clear and intuitive signals.
What is the Squeeze Momentum Indicator ?
This indicator helps you identify periods of low volatility (squeeze phases) when the market is often poised for significant moves. With its clear visualization and innovative methods, it enables traders to spot breakout opportunities early and trade strategically.
Differences from the Original LazyBear Indicator
1. Use of Bollinger Bands (BB):
- LazyBear Indicator combines Bollinger Bands with Keltner Channels. A squeeze is detected when the Bollinger Bands fall inside the Keltner Channels.
- CHE Indicator relies solely on Bollinger Bands and an additional analysis of their width (distance between the upper and lower bands). This makes the calculation more straightforward and reduces dependency on multiple indicator families.
2. Squeeze Detection:
- LazyBear: A squeeze is defined based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. It has three states: “Squeeze On,” “Squeeze Off,” and “No Squeeze.”
- CHE: A squeeze is detected when the width of the Bollinger Bands falls below the lower "Distance Bollinger Bands." It only has two states: Squeeze Active and No Squeeze.
3. Momentum Calculation:
- LazyBear: Uses linear regression (LinReg) to calculate momentum and displays it as color-coded histograms.
- CHE: Does not include momentum calculations. The focus is entirely on volatility visualization and squeeze detection.
4. Visualization:
- LazyBear: Displays momentum histograms and horizontal lines to signal different states.
- CHE: Visualizes the width of the Bollinger Bands and their Distance Bollinger Bands as lines on the chart. The chart background turns green when a squeeze is detected, simplifying interpretation.
What Is Plotted?
1. Bollinger Band Width:
- A line representing the distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands, measuring market volatility.
2. Distance Bollinger Bands:
- Two additional lines (upper and lower Distance Bollinger Bands) based on the Bollinger Band width, defining thresholds for squeeze conditions.
3. Session-Specific Box:
- A dynamic box is drawn on the chart during a squeeze phase. The box marks the high and low of the market for the squeeze duration. It visually frames the range, helping traders monitor breakouts beyond these levels.
4. Max/Min Markers:
- The indicator dynamically updates and marks the maximum and minimum price levels during a squeeze. These levels can serve as breakout thresholds or critical reference points for price action.
5. Background Color:
- The chart background turns green when a squeeze is active (Bollinger Band width falls below the lower Distance Bollinger Bands). This highlights potential breakout conditions.
How to Use the CHE Indicator
1. Add the Indicator:
- Add the indicator to your chart and customize settings such as Bollinger Band length (`sqz_length`) and multiplier (`sqz_multiplier`) to fit your strategy.
2. Identify Squeeze Conditions:
- Watch for the green background, which signals a squeeze—indicating a period of low volatility where significant market moves often follow.
3. Monitor the Box and Max/Min Levels:
- During a squeeze, the box outlines the trading range, and the maximum and minimum levels are updated in real time. Use these as breakout triggers or support/resistance zones.
4. Session-Specific Analysis:
- The indicator can highlight squeezes during specific trading sessions (e.g., market open), allowing you to focus on key time frames.
5. Additional Confirmation:
- Combine the CHE Indicator with price action analysis or momentum tools to determine the direction of potential breakouts.
Why Use the Squeeze Momentum Indicator ?
- Simplicity: Clear visualization and reduced complexity by eliminating Keltner Channels and momentum calculations.
- Flexibility: Suitable for all markets—stocks, forex, crypto, and more.
- Enhanced Visualization: The box and max/min markers provide real-time visual cues for range-bound trading and breakout strategies.
- Efficiency: Focuses on what matters most—identifying volatility and squeeze phases.
With the Squeeze Momentum Indicator , you can take your trading strategy to the next level. Thanks to its clear design, dynamic range visualization, and innovative methods, you’ll recognize breakout opportunities earlier and trade with greater precision. Try it out and experience its user-friendliness and effectiveness for yourself!
Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry SignalsIndicator Explanation: Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry Signals
Introduction
The "Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry Signals" indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to generate precise long and short entry signals. This indicator offers a powerful combination of overbought/oversold zones, momentum analysis, and RSI-EMA crossovers to assist traders in making better decisions.
How the Indicator Works
1. RSI Calculation and EMA
The RSI is calculated based on the closing price with an adjustable period (default: 14).
An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the RSI (default: 9) is plotted to identify RSI trend changes.
When the RSI crosses its EMA upwards, it signals a bullish impulse. Conversely, a downward cross indicates a bearish impulse.
2. MACD Calculation and Momentum Shifts
The MACD line is derived from the difference between a fast EMA (default: 12) and a slow EMA (default: 26).

Adaptive Momentum For Loop Volatility | viResearchAdaptive Momentum For Loop Volatility | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Adaptive Momentum For Loop Volatility" script introduces an innovative approach to momentum and volatility analysis by combining a for-loop system with adaptive momentum calculations. This method leverages a dynamic scoring mechanism within a volatility-based framework, allowing traders to capture trend shifts with sensitivity to recent market volatility. By adapting to changes in price movement, the script provides signals that are both trend-following and volatility-aware.
The script also integrates an Adaptive Trailing Stop feature, which uses an ATR-based volatility stop to dynamically track the trend. This approach is designed to assist traders in positioning themselves effectively during trending markets while staying protected by an adaptive trailing stop when the trend shows signs of reversal.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Adaptive Momentum For Loop Volatility" script comprises several technical components to create a responsive momentum and volatility indicator:
Adaptive For-Loop Scoring System: A custom for-loop scoring system evaluates the subject price (typically the close) over a defined range. The loop checks for conditions indicating upward or downward momentum, adjusting the score accordingly. The score then serves as the volatility multiplier for the ATR-based stop.
Volatility Stop Calculation: An ATR-based trailing stop is calculated based on the adaptive score. The stop adjusts in response to the latest score, allowing it to move closer to or further from the price depending on the current volatility.
Range Plot: The script includes an upper and lower boundary based on a percentage deviation from a moving average, giving a sense of possible price movement within the range. This additional visual aid helps traders identify potential overextension points within the trend.
Features and User Inputs
The script includes several customizable inputs, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to specific assets and market conditions:
Length: Controls the period used for the ATR calculation, affecting the responsiveness of the stop. Multiplier: Adjusts the volatility stop’s sensitivity based on recent price action. Percentage for Range Plot: Defines the width of the range plotted around the moving average, offering insights into expected price deviations. Adaptive Scoring Parameters: The for-loop’s scoring range (variables a and b) can be adjusted to fine-tune momentum detection. Alert and Bar Color Customization: Alerts are provided to notify the user of long and short signals. The background and bar colors visually indicate current trend direction.
Practical Applications
This script is ideal for traders who wish to capture both trend and volatility in their trading strategies. Key applications include:
Trend Confirmation and Reversal Detection: The volatility-based stop helps confirm trend direction, making it easier to spot potential reversals.
Adaptive Trailing Stop: The ATR stop protects gains by adjusting dynamically as the market’s volatility changes. Traders can use this feature to manage risk and secure profits in trending markets.
Range Bound Trading: The range plot highlights potential overbought and oversold levels, making it useful for identifying when prices are likely to revert to the mean.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Adaptive Momentum For Loop Volatility" script provides a unique blend of momentum and volatility analysis, offering an edge over traditional indicators. Its adaptive nature helps traders stay in trades during strong trends and exit promptly during reversals, reducing exposure to adverse price movements. The customizable parameters make it versatile and adaptable to various asset classes and market conditions.
Summary and Usage Tips
Incorporate the "Adaptive Momentum For Loop Volatility" script into your trading system to enhance trend analysis and risk management. Use the for-loop scoring system to detect early momentum shifts, and rely on the volatility stop to maintain a position until the trend shows signs of exhaustion. Adjust the range plot settings to suit the asset’s typical price movements for a more accurate portrayal of expected price fluctuations. Remember, backtesting across different market conditions is essential to understanding how the script performs and adapting it as needed.

Multi-Asset Cross Timeframe Divergence Ind. (MACDI) // AlgoFyreThe Multi-Asset Cross Timeframe Divergence Indicator (MACDI) identifies divergences in momentum like RSI across multiple assets and timeframes. It visually highlights lagging correlated asset momentum divergences, helping traders spot inefficiencies and potential trade opportunities in the following asset.
🔶 KEY FEATURES
🔸Average Momentum Trendline for Each Timeframe
The Average Momentum Trendline feature calculates the average momentum of multiple assets over specified timeframes. It uses smoothed values to determine the momentum trend for each timeframe on the average aggregated momentum of both assets. This trendline helps traders identify the overall direction of the market momentum, providing a clearer picture of potential price movements.
🔸Real-time Divergence Indication and Alert Table
The Real-time Divergence Indications and Alert Table feature visualizes detected divergences between the momentum values of the two assets across different timeframes. It identifies both bullish and bearish divergences, signaling lagging reversals in the the following asset and potential trading opportunities. When a divergence is detected, the system generates real-time visual indications on the chart and in an overview table for traders to act promptly. The alert table provides a comprehensive overview of all detected divergences, making it easier for traders to monitor and respond to market changes.
🔸Color and Size Based Labels on Price Chart based on Divergence Type
The Color and Size Based Labels feature visually represents divergences directly on the price chart. Bullish and bearish divergences are marked with distinct colors and sizes, making them easily identifiable at a glance. Larger labels indicate higher timeframes and thus generally more significance.
🔶 INSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
🔸Identify Divergence Clusters
The more divergences align, the higher the probability of a potential trend reversal in the asset. When multiple multi-timeframe divergences occur in both lower and higher timeframes within a local cluster, the probability of a reversal increases. This is valid for both for bullish and bearish divergences.
🔸Spot Low Probability Divergences
To further increase the probability, analyze the current state of the average momentum trendline. For a bullish reversal, a relatively low level of the average momentum trendline is preferred, whereas for a bearish reversal, a relatively high level is preferred.
🔶 INDIVIDUAL CONFIGURATION

Six PillarsGeneral Overview
The "Six Pillars" indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that combines six different technical analysis methods to provide a holistic view of market conditions.
These six pillars are:
Trend
Momentum
Directional Movement (DM)
Stochastic
Fractal
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The indicator calculates the state of each pillar and presents them in an easy-to-read table format. It also compares the current timeframe with a user-defined comparison timeframe to offer a multi-timeframe analysis.
A key feature of this indicator is the Confluence Strength meter. This unique metric quantifies the overall agreement between the six pillars across both timeframes, providing a score out of 100. A higher score indicates stronger agreement among the pillars, suggesting a more reliable trading signal.
I also included a visual cue in the form of candle coloring. When all six pillars agree on a bullish or bearish direction, the candle is colored green or red, respectively. This feature allows traders to quickly identify potential high-probability trade setups.
The Six Pillars indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes, offering a comparison between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe. This multi-timeframe analysis provides traders with a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
Origin and Inspiration
The Six Pillars indicator was inspired by the work of Dr. Barry Burns, author of "Trend Trading for Dummies" and his concept of "5 energies." (Trend, Momentum, Cycle, Support/Resistance, Scale) I was intrigued by Dr. Burns' approach to analyzing market dynamics and decided to put my own twist upon his ideas.
Comparing the Six Pillars to Dr. Burns' 5 energies, you'll notice I kept Trend and Momentum, but I swapped out Cycle, Support/Resistance, and Scale for Directional Movement, Stochastic, Fractal, and On-Balance Volume. These changes give you a more dynamic view of market strength, potential reversals, and volume confirmation all in one package.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The standout feature of the Six Pillars indicator is its Confluence Strength meter. This feature calculates the overall agreement between the six pillars, providing traders with a clear, numerical representation of signal strength.
The strength is calculated by considering the state of each pillar in both the current and comparison timeframes, resulting in a score out of 100.
Here's how it calculates the strength:
It considers the state of each pillar in both the current timeframe and the comparison timeframe.
For each pillar, the absolute value of its state is taken. This means that both strongly bullish (2) and strongly bearish (-2) states contribute equally to the strength.
The absolute values for all six pillars are summed up for both timeframes, resulting in two sums: current_sum and alternate_sum.
These sums are then added together to get a total_sum.
The total_sum is divided by 24 (the maximum possible sum if all pillars were at their strongest states in both timeframes) and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
The result is rounded to the nearest integer and capped at a minimum of 1.
This calculation method ensures that the Confluence Strength meter takes into account not only the current timeframe but also the comparison timeframe, providing a more robust measure of overall market sentiment. The resulting score, ranging from 1 to 100, gives traders a clear and intuitive measure of how strongly the pillars agree, with higher scores indicating stronger potential signals.
This approach to measuring signal strength is unique in that it doesn't just rely on a single aspect of price action or volume. Instead, it takes into account multiple factors, providing a more robust and reliable indication of potential market moves. The higher the Confluence Strength score, the more confident traders can be in the signal.
The Confluence Strength meter helps traders in several ways:
It provides a quick and easy way to gauge the overall market sentiment.
It helps prioritize potential trades by identifying the strongest signals.
It can be used as a filter to avoid weaker setups and focus on high-probability trades.
It offers an additional layer of confirmation for other trading strategies or indicators.
By combining the Six Pillars analysis with the Confluence Strength meter, I've created a powerful tool that not only identifies potential trading opportunities but also quantifies their strength, giving traders a significant edge in their decision-making process.
How the Pillars Work (What Determines Bullish or Bearish)
While developing this indicator, I selected and configured six key components that work together to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. Each pillar is set up to complement the others, creating a synergistic effect that offers traders a more nuanced understanding of price action and volume.
Trend Pillar: Based on two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - a fast EMA (8 period) and a slow EMA (21 period). It determines the trend by comparing these EMAs, with stronger trends indicated when the fast EMA is significantly above or below the slow EMA.
Directional Movement (DM) Pillar: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) with a default period of 14. It measures trend strength, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. It also considers the Positive and Negative Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to determine trend direction.
Momentum Pillar: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with customizable fast (12), slow (26), and signal (9) lengths. It compares the MACD line to the signal line to determine momentum strength and direction.
Stochastic Pillar: Employs the Stochastic oscillator with a default period of 13. It identifies overbought conditions (above 80) and oversold conditions (below 20), with intermediate zones between 60-80 and 20-40.
Fractal Pillar: Uses Williams' Fractal indicator with a default period of 3. It identifies potential reversal points by looking for specific high and low patterns over the given period.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) Pillar: Incorporates On-Balance Volume with three EMAs - short (3), medium (13), and long (21) periods. It assesses volume trends by comparing these EMAs.
Each pillar outputs a state ranging from -2 (strongly bearish) to 2 (strongly bullish), with 0 indicating a neutral state. This standardized output allows for easy comparison and aggregation of signals across all pillars.
Users can customize various parameters for each pillar, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions. The multi-timeframe comparison feature also allows users to compare pillar states between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe, providing additional context for decision-making.
Design
From a design standpoint, I've put considerable effort into making the Six Pillars indicator visually appealing and user-friendly. The clean and minimalistic design is a key feature that sets this indicator apart.
I've implemented a sleek table layout that displays all the essential information in a compact and organized manner. The use of a dark background (#030712) for the table creates a sleek look that's easy on the eyes, especially during extended trading sessions.
The overall design philosophy focuses on presenting complex information in a simple, intuitive format, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
The color scheme is carefully chosen to provide clear visual cues:
White text for headers ensures readability
Green (#22C55E) for bullish signals
Blue (#3B82F6) for neutral states
Red (#EF4444) for bearish signals
This color coding extends to the candle coloring, making it easy to spot when all pillars agree on a bullish or bearish outlook.
I've also incorporated intuitive symbols (↑↑, ↑, →, ↓, ↓↓) to represent the different states of each pillar, allowing for quick interpretation at a glance.
The table layout is thoughtfully organized, with clear sections for the current and comparison timeframes. The Confluence Strength meter is prominently displayed, providing traders with an immediate sense of signal strength.
To enhance usability, I've added tooltips to various elements, offering additional information and explanations when users hover over different parts of the indicator.
How to Use This Indicator
The Six Pillars indicator is a versatile tool that can be used for various trading strategies. Here are some general usage guidelines and specific scenarios:
General Usage Guidelines:
Pay attention to the Confluence Strength meter. Higher values indicate stronger agreement among the pillars and potentially more reliable signals.

Relative Momentum Index with Laguerre FilterThe Relative Momentum Index
The Relative Momentum Index (RMI) is an oscillator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but incorporates momentum over a variable lookback period rather than just consecutive price changes, which can help identify reversals and filter out noise.
It measures the momentum of price changes over a specified period, rather than just the magnitude of price changes like the RSI does.
It counts up and down days from the current closing price relative to the closing price a certain number of days ago (e.g. 5 days ago), instead of just comparing consecutive daily closes like the RSI
It is calculated by taking the ratio of the average upward price changes to the average downward price changes over a given period, where each change is measured from the close X days ago (X is the “momentum” period)
Like the RSI, the RMI oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 70 considered overbought and below 30 oversold.
In trending markets, the RMI tends to remain in overbought or oversold territory for extended periods. In trading ranges, it oscillates more predictably between the overbought and oversold levels.
The RMI is generally considered better than the RSI at identifying potential reversal points, as it incorporates a momentum factor rather than just strength.
It can be used in a similar way to the RSI for trade signals, such as buying when it rises above 30 from below, or selling when it falls below 70 from above
The Laguerre filter
A Laguerre filter is a type of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter used for smoothing signals or data. The Laguerre filter provides a way to apply variable smoothing to a signal by adjusting its pole position, allowing you to control the balance between smoothness and lag based on your preferences. It is an alternative to simple moving averages that can better preserve the shape of the original signal.
RSI Momentum Waves [Quantigenics]RSI Momentum Waves Indicator
The RSI Momentum Waves Indicator is your intuitive tool for visualizing market strength and trend persistence. It refines the classic RSI by smoothing the data with Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which help clear out the noise to give you a more accurate picture of where the market’s heading. The parameters - RSI Period, Smoothing Period, Overbought, Oversold, Upper Neutral Zone, and Lower Neutral Zone - are all adjustable, so you can tailor the indicator to different market conditions or your trading style.
How It Works:
RSI Period (RsiPer): Adjusts how far back the RSI looks to calculate its value, affecting its sensitivity.
Smoothing Period (SmoothPer): Dictates how smooth the EMA lines are, balancing between sensitivity and noise reduction.
Overbought (OBLevel) / Oversold (OSLevel) Levels: Set the thresholds where the market might be too stretched in either direction and due for a reversal.
Neutral Zones (UpperNZ / LowerNZ): Define the areas where the market is considered neutral, and trend strength is less clear.
Trading Instructions:
Use the RSI Momentum Waves to gain insights into the market’s momentum and make informed decisions:
For Trend Identification: If the waves are consistently above the 50 line and climbing, the market may be bullish; if below and declining, bearish signals are suggested.
Overbought and Oversold Regions: Entering these areas might indicate a potential reversal. A peak and downturn in the overbought region can signal a sell, while a trough and upturn in the oversold region can indicate a buy.
Neutral Zone Caution: In the neutral zones, exercise caution and wait for a breakout in either direction for stronger signals.
Confirm with Other Analysis: Never rely solely on one indicator. Confirm the RSI Momentum Waves signals with other technical indicators or fundamental analysis for best practices.
Remember, the goal is to detect the rhythm of the market’s momentum and act accordingly. Happy trading!
MFI- Momentum Fusion IndicatorIndicator Overview
The "MFI - Momentum Fusion Indicator" is a comprehensive trading tool designed for TradingView that combines several technical analysis methods to assist traders in identifying potential buy and sell opportunities in financial markets.
Key Components
Moving Averages (MA): Uses two Simple Moving Averages (SMA) with periods defined by the user (default 10 and 20). The indicator generates buy signals when the shorter MA (MA 10) crosses above the longer MA (MA 20) and sell signals when it crosses below, helping to pinpoint trend reversals.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought or oversold conditions, adding a layer of confirmation to the signals generated by the moving averages.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA 50): Used to gauge the medium-term trend direction. The color of the EMA line changes based on whether the trend is up (green) or down (red), providing a visual representation of the market trend.
Average True Range (ATR): This component measures market volatility. Signals are only generated when the ATR confirms significant market movement relative to the EMA50, enhancing the reliability of the signals during volatile conditions.
How It Works
Signal Generation: The core of the indicator is based on the crossover of two SMAs. A buy signal is issued when the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA during sufficient market volatility (confirmed by ATR). Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA under similar conditions.
Trend Confirmation: The EMA50 helps confirm the broader market trend, while the ATR ensures that the crossover signals occur during periods of meaningful price movement, filtering out noise and less significant price movements.
Use Case
For Traders: The indicator is ideal for traders who need clear, actionable signals combined with an assessment of market conditions. It’s particularly useful in markets where understanding volatility and momentum is crucial, such as in cryptocurrencies and forex.
Benefits
Comprehensive Analysis: Combines trend, momentum, and volatility analysis in one tool, providing a multifaceted approach to the markets.
Enhanced Decision-Making: By integrating multiple indicators, it reduces the likelihood of false signals and enhances decision-making confidence.
Customizable and Dynamic: Allows for easy adjustment of parameters to fit different trading styles and market conditions.
This indicator equips traders with a powerful blend of tools to analyze price movements and make informed trading decisions based on a combination of trend, momentum, and volatility insights.
Trend, Momentum, Volume Delta Ratings Emoji RatingsThis indicator provides a visual summary of three key market conditions - Trend, Momentum, and Volume Delta - to help traders quickly assess the current state of the market. The goal is to offer a concise, at-a-glance view of these important technical factors.
Trend (HMA): The indicator uses a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to assess the overall trend direction. If the current price is above the HMA, the trend is considered "Good" or bullish (represented by a 😀 emoji). If the price is below the HMA, the trend is "Bad" or bearish (🤮). If the price is equal to the HMA, the trend is considered "Neutral" (😐).
Momentum (ROC): The Rate of Change (ROC) is used to measure the momentum of the market. A positive ROC indicates "Good" or bullish momentum (😀), a negative ROC indicates "Bad" or bearish momentum (🤮), and a zero ROC is considered "Neutral" (😐).
Volume Delta: The indicator calculates the difference between the current trading volume and a simple moving average of the volume (Volume Delta). If the Volume Delta is above a user-defined threshold, it is considered "Good" or bullish (😀). If the Volume Delta is below the negative of the threshold, it is "Bad" or bearish (🤮). Values within the threshold are considered "Neutral" (😐).
The indicator displays these three ratings in a compact table format in the top-right corner of the chart. The table uses color-coding to quickly convey the overall market conditions - green for "Good", red for "Bad", and gray for "Neutral".
This indicator can be useful for traders who want a concise, at-a-glance view of the current market trend, momentum, and volume activity. By combining these three technical factors, traders can get a more well-rounded understanding of the market conditions and potentially identify opportunities or areas of concern more easily.
The user can customize the indicator by adjusting the lengths of the HMA, ROC, and Volume moving average, as well as the Volume Delta threshold. The colors used in the table can also be customized to suit the trader's preferences.
Weighted Momentum Forecast
The Weighted Momentum Forecast (EWMF) is a predictive indicator designed to forecast the potential direction and magnitude of the next candle's close. It combines the principles of momentum, trend confirmation, and volatility adjustment to make its predictions.
**Components:**
1. **Rate of Change (ROC)**: Measures the momentum of the market.
2. **Average True Range (ATR)**: Represents the market's recent volatility.
3. **Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)**: Used to confirm the momentum's direction.
4. **Trend Moving Average**: A longer-term moving average to confirm the general trend.
5. **Bollinger Bands**: Adjusts the forecast to account for extreme predictions.
**Logic:**
1. **Momentum Bias**: The crossover and crossunder of the MACD line and its signal line are used to determine the momentum's bias. A crossover indicates a bullish bias, while a crossunder indicates a bearish bias.
2. **Trend Confirmation**: If the current close is above the trend moving average, the indicator has a bullish bias, and vice versa.
3. **Forecast Calculation**: The forecast for the next candle's close is calculated based on the current close, the rate of change, the momentum's bias, and the trend's bias. This value is then adjusted for volatility using the ATR.
4. **Volatility Adjustment**: If the forecasted value is beyond the Bollinger Bands, it's adjusted to be within the bands to account for extreme predictions.
**Usage:**
The EWMF plots a purple line representing the forecasted value of the next candle's close. This forecasted value provides traders with a visual representation of where the price might head in the next period, based on recent momentum, trend, and volatility.
**Note**: This is a heuristic approach and is not guaranteed to be accurate. It's essential to use this indicator in conjunction with other tools, backtest on historical data, and use proper risk management techniques. Always be aware of the inherent risks involved in trading and never risk more than you're willing to lose.

RS Momentum singleThe RS Momentum single Symbol indicator is a custom indicator that compares the performance of a specific symbol to a base symbol and calculates the relative strength (RS) and relative momentum (RM) between them. The indicator is designed to help traders identify the current market phase of the symbol and make informed trading decisions based on the relative performance.
Description:
The indicator calculates the RS and RM values using the following steps:
1. It retrieves the closing prices of the symbol and the base symbol.
2. It calculates the Symbol-to-Base Ratio (SBR) by dividing the closing price of the symbol by the closing price of the base symbol.
3. It calculates two Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of the SBR with different lengths (RS1 and RS2) and computes the RS value as a percentage difference between these SMAs.
4. It calculates two SMAs of the RS value with different lengths (RM1 and RM2) and computes the RM value as a percentage difference between these SMAs.
5. The indicator plots the RS and RM values on the chart and assigns a market phase label based on their values.
Usage:
The indicator can be used to identify the current market phase of the symbol, which can be one of the following:
1. Leading: The symbol is outperforming the base symbol, and the momentum is positive. This phase indicates a strong bullish trend, and traders might consider entering long positions.
2. Weakening: The symbol is outperforming the base symbol, but the momentum is negative. This phase suggests that the bullish trend is losing strength, and traders might consider taking profits or tightening their stop losses.
3. Lagging: The symbol is underperforming the base symbol, and the momentum is negative. This phase indicates a strong bearish trend, and traders might consider entering short positions.
4. Improving: The symbol is underperforming the base symbol, but the momentum is positive. This phase suggests that the bearish trend is losing strength, and traders might consider closing short positions or looking for potential long entries.
Optimal Settings:
The optimal settings for the indicator depend on the specific market and trading style. However, the default settings (RS1 Length = 10, RS2 Length = 30, RM1 Length = 1, RM2 Length = 9) can be a good starting point. Traders can experiment with different settings find the ones that work best for their trading strategy and market conditions.
It's important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and market context to make well-informed trading decisions. No single indicator can guarantee success in trading, and it's crucial to use a combination of tools and techniques to manage risk and maximize potential returns.
