Absolute Momentum (Time Series Momentum)Absolute momentum , also known as time series momentum , focuses on the trend of an asset's own past performance to predict its future performance. It involves analyzing an asset's own historical performance, rather than comparing it to other assets. The strategy determines whether an asset's price is exhibiting an upward (positive momentum) or downward (negative momentum) trend by assessing the asset's return over a given period (standard look-back period: 12 months or approximately 250 trading days). Some studies recommend calculating momentum by deducting the corresponding Treasury bill rate from the measured performance. Absolute Momentum Indicator The Absolute Momentum Indicator displays the rolling 12-month performance (measured over 250 trading days) and plots it against a horizontal line representing 0%. If the indicator crosses above this line, it signifies positive absolute momentum, and conversely, crossing below indicates negative momentum. An additional, optional look-back period input field can be accessed through the settings. Hint: This indicator is a simplified version, as some academic approaches measure absolute momentum by subtracting risk-free rates from the 12-month performance. However, even with higher rates, the values will still remain close to the 0% line. Benefits of Absolute Momentum Absolute momentum, which should not be confused with relative momentum or the momentum indicator, serves as a timing instrument for both individual assets and entire markets. Gary Antonacci , a key contributor to the absolute momentum strategy (find study below), emphasizes its effectiveness in multi-asset portfolios and its importance in long-only investing. This is particularly evident in a) reducing downside volatility and b) mitigating behavioral biases. Moskowitz, Ooi, and Pedersen document significant 'time series momentum' across various asset classes, including equity index, currency, commodity, and bond futures, in 58 liquid instruments (find study below). There's a notable persistence in returns ranging from one to 12 months, which tends to partially reverse over longer periods. This pattern aligns with sentiment theories suggesting initial under-reaction followed by delayed over-reaction. Despite its surprising ease of implementation, the academic community has successfully measured the effects of absolute momentum across decades and in every major asset class, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and foreign exchange (FX). Strategies for Implementing Absolute Momentum: To Buy a Stock: Select a Look-Back Period: Choose a historical period to analyze the stock's performance. A common period is 12 months, but this can vary based on your investment strategy. Calculate Excess Return: Determine the stock's excess return over this period. You can also assume a risk-free rate of "0" to simplify the process. Evaluate Momentum: If the excess return is positive, it indicates positive absolute momentum. This suggests the stock is in an upward trend and could be a good buying opportunity. If the excess return is negative, it suggests negative momentum, and you might want to delay buying. Consider further conditions: Align your decision with broader market trends, economic indicators, or fundamental analysis, for additional context. To Sell a Stock You Own: Regularly Monitor Performance: Use the same look-back period as for buying (e.g., 12 months) to regularly assess the stock's performance. Check for Negative Momentum: Calculate the excess return for the look-back period. Again, you can assume a risk-free rate of "0" to simplify the process. If the stock shows negative momentum, it might be time to consider selling. Consider further conditions:Align your decision with broader market trends, economic indicators, or fundamental analysis, for additional context. Important note: Note: Entering a position (i.e., buying) based on positive absolute momentum doesn't necessarily mean you must sell it if it later exhibits negative absolute momentum. You can initiate a position using positive absolute momentum as an entry indicator and then continue holding it based on other criteria, such as fundamental analysis. General Tips: Reassessment Frequency: Decide how often you will reassess the momentum (monthly, quarterly, etc.). Remember, while absolute momentum provides a systematic approach, it's recommendable to consider it as part of a broader investment strategy that includes diversification, risk management, fundamental analysis, etc. Relevant Capital Market Studies: Antonacci, Gary.

FluxPulse Momentum [JOAT]FluxPulse Momentum - Adaptive Multi-Component Oscillator FluxPulse Momentum is a composite oscillator that blends three distinct momentum components into a single, smoothed signal line. Rather than relying on a single indicator, it synthesizes adaptive RSI, normalized rate of change, and a Kaufman-style efficiency ratio to provide a multi-dimensional view of momentum. What This Indicator Does Combines RSI, Rate of Change (ROC), and Efficiency Ratio into one weighted composite Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness Displays overbought/oversold zones with optional background highlighting Generates buy/sell signals when the oscillator crosses its signal line in favorable zones Provides a real-time dashboard showing current state, momentum direction, and efficiency Core Components Adaptive RSI (50% weight) — Standard RSI calculation normalized around the 50 level Normalized ROC (30% weight) — Rate of change scaled relative to its recent maximum range Efficiency Ratio (20% weight) — Measures directional movement efficiency, inspired by Kaufman's adaptive concepts The final composite is smoothed twice using EMA to create both a fast line and a signal line. Signal Logic // Buy signal: crossover in lower half buySignal = ta.crossover(qmo, qmoSmooth) and qmo < 50 // Sell signal: crossunder in upper half sellSignal = ta.crossunder(qmo, qmoSmooth) and qmo > 50 Signals are generated only when the oscillator is positioned favorably—buy signals occur below the 50 midline, sell signals occur above it. Dashboard Information The on-chart table displays: Current oscillator value with gradient coloring Momentum state (Overbought, Oversold, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) Momentum direction and acceleration Efficiency ratio percentage Active signal status Inputs Overview RSI Length — Period for RSI calculation (default: 14) ROC Length — Period for rate of change (default: 10) Smoothing Length — EMA smoothing period (default: 3) Overbought/Oversold Levels — Threshold levels for zone detection Await Bar Confirmation — Wait for bar close before triggering alerts How to Use It Watch for crossovers between the main line and signal line Use overbought/oversold zones to identify potential reversal areas Monitor the histogram for momentum acceleration or deceleration Combine with price action analysis for confirmation Alerts Buy Signal — Bullish crossover in the lower zone Sell Signal — Bearish crossunder in the upper zone Overbought/Oversold Crosses — Level threshold crossings This indicator is provided for educational purposes. It does not constitute financial advice. Always conduct your own analysis before making trading decisions. — Made with passion by officialjackofalltrades

ATR Momentum [QuantVue]ATR Momentum is a dynamic technical analysis tool designed to assess the momentum of a securities price movement. It utilizes the comparison between a faster short-term Average True Range (ATR) and a slower long-term ATR to determine whether momentum is increasing or decreasing. This indicator visually represents the momentum relationship by plotting both ATR values as lines on a chart and applying color fill between the lines based on if momentum is increasing or decreasing. When the short-term ATR is greater than the long-term ATR, representing increasing momentum, the area between them is filled with green. Conversely, when the short-term ATR is less than the long-term ATR line, the area between them is filled with red. This red fill indicates decreasing momentum. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We hope you enjoy! Cheers.

ADX Momentum Shaded CandlesDescription: The "ADX Momentum Shaded Candles" indicator (ADXMSC) is an overlay indicator that enhances candlestick charts by adding shading based on the momentum derived from the Average Directional Index (ADX). This indicator provides visual cues about the strength of bullish and bearish momentum by adjusting the transparency of the candlesticks. How it Works: The indicator utilizes the ADX indicator to calculate the values of +DI (Directional Indicator Plus) and -DI (Directional Indicator Minus) based on user-defined parameters. It then determines the transparency levels for the bullish and bearish candlesticks based on the calculated values of +DI and -DI. Higher values of +DI or -DI result in lower transparency levels, while lower values increase transparency. Transparency Calculation: The transparency of the bullish and bearish candlesticks is adjusted based on the values of +DI and -DI, which reflect the momentum of the price movement. Transparency is inversely proportional to these values, with higher values resulting in lower transparency. To calculate transparency, the indicator uses the formula 100 minus the value of +DI or -DI multiplied by 2. This ensures that higher values of +DI or -DI produce more opaque candlesticks. Usage: To effectively use the "ADX Momentum Shaded Candles" indicator (ADXMSC), follow these steps: 1. Apply the indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators. 2. Observe the candlesticks on the chart: - Bullish candlesticks are represented by the original bullish color with adjusted transparency. - Bearish candlesticks are represented by the original bearish color with adjusted transparency. 3. Analyze the transparency levels of the candlesticks to assess the strength of bullish and bearish momentum. Less transparent candlesticks indicate stronger momentum, while more transparent ones suggest weaker momentum. 4. Combine the visual information from the shaded candlesticks with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trend lines, or oscillators, to confirm potential trade opportunities. 5. Customize the indicator's parameters, such as the ADX length and smoothing, to suit your trading preferences. 6. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.
