Canonical Momenta Indicator [T1][T69]📌 Overview
The Canonical Momenta Indicator models trend pressure using a Lagrangian-based momentum engine combined with reflexivity theory to detect bursts in price movement influenced by herd behavior and volume acceleration.
🧠 Features
Lagrangian-based kinetic model combining velocity and acceleration
Reflexivity burst detection with directional scoring
Adaptive momentum-weighted output (adaptiveCMI)
Buy 🐋 / Sell 🐻 labels when reflexivity confirms direction
Fully parameterized for customization
⚙️ How to Use
This indicator helps traders:
Detect reflexive bursts in market activity driven by sharp price movement + volume spikes
Capture herd-driven directional moves early.
Gauge market pressure using a kinetic-potential energy model.
Suggested signals:
🐋 Reflexive Up: Strong bullish momentum spike confirmed by volume and positive lagrangian pressure
🐻 Reflexive Down: Strong bearish dump confirmed by volume and negative lagrangian burst
🔧 Configuration
MA Lookback Length - Smoothing for baseline price & energy calculation
Reflexivity Momentum Threshold - Price momentum trigger for burst detection
Reflexivity Lookback - Period over which bursts are counted
Reflexivity Window - Minimum burst sum to trigger signal label
Volume Spike Threshold - % above average volume to qualify as burst
📊 Behavior Description
The indicator computes a Lagrangian energy:
Kinetic Energy = (velocity² + 0.5 * acceleration²)
Potential Energy = deviation from moving average (distance²)
Lagrangian = Potential − Kinetic (higher = overextension)
Then, reflexive bursts are triggered when:
Price is rising or falling over short window (burstMvmnt)
Volume is above average by a user-defined multiple
Each bar gets a burst score:
+1 for up-burst
−1 for down-burst
0 otherwise
⚠️ Risk Profile Based on Lookback Settings
Risk Level | Description | Recommended Lookback
🟥 High | Extremely sensitive to bursts, prone to false signals | 7–10
🟨 Moderate | Balanced reflexivity with trend confirmation | 11–20
🟩 Low | Filters out most noise, slower to react | 21+
🧪 Advanced Tips
Combine with moving average slope for trend filtering
Use divergence between adaptiveCMI and price to detect exhaustion
Works well in crypto, commodities, and volatile assets
⚠️ Limitations
Sensitive to high volatility noise if volMult is too low
Designed for higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for reliability
Doesn’t confirm direction in sideways markets — pair with other filters
