Gedhusek MomentumSqueeze
This oscillator measures a strength of momentum.
About the indicator:
Unlike the classic momentum indicator, which only measures the distance between two points, this one has a more sophisticated calculation system to better show the reality of the markets. This is reached by including the distance between the highest and lowest point over certain period and an absolute distance of each bar over certain time period. By combining the distance between the highest and lowest price point with an absolute distance into mathematical formula, we get a final value representing the momentum strength.
The next great thing about this oscillator is that its values are relative to the previous ones. Thanks to this, we get a better understanding about the current situation given what has happened in the market before.
General rules:
Value of this indicator ranges from 0 to 100.
If the value is below 50, it means that there is very weak momentum and if the value is above 50, there is strong momentum.
The idea is that these values should oscillate, therefore we can more precisely predict when the momentum is going to increase or decline.
If the current value is below 20, the market has very low momentum and it should increase and if the current value is above 80, there is an extremely high momentum and it should decline.
What is absolute distance and why use it:
Lets say that we have 2 last bars. The first one starts at 100 and closes at 110 and the second one starts at 110 and closes at 105. So the price change would be of 5 points (from 100 to 105). This is not an ideal way because we punish volatile markets with no clear trend.
With an absolute distance, we would deal with given scenario like this. The first bar went from 100 to 110, resulting in distance of 10 points, and the second bar went from 110 to 105, resulting in distance of 5 points. No we add up these distances and we get the absolute distance --> 10+5 = 15
With this type of calculation we get more accurate information about momentum
