New Momentum H/LNew Momentum H/L shows when momentum, defined as the rate of price change over time, exceeds the highest or lowest values observed over a user-defined period. These events shows points where momentum reaches new extremes relative to that period, and the indicator plots a column to mark each occurrence.
Increase in momentum could indicate the start of a trend phase from a low volatile or balanced state. However in developed trends, extreme momentum could also mark potential climaxes which can lead to trend termination. This reflects the dual nature of the component.
This indicator is based on the MACD calculated as the difference between a 3-period and a 10-period simple moving average. New highs are indicated when this value exceeds all previous values within the lookback window; new lows when it drops below all previous values. The default lookback period is set to 40 bars, which corresponds with two months on a daily chart.
The indicator also computes a z-score of the MACD line over the past 100 bars. This standardization helps compare momentum across different periods and normalizes the values of current moves relative to recent history.
In practice, use the indicator to confirm presence of momentum at the start of a move from a balanced state (often following a volatility expansion), track how momentum develops inside of a trend structure and locate potential climactic events.
Momentum should in preference be interpreted from price movement. However, to measure and standardize provides structure and helps build more consistent models. This should be used in context of price structure and broader market conditions; as all other tools.

Advanced Momentum Scanner [QuantAlgo]The Advanced Momentum Scanner is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify market momentum and trend direction using multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs), momentum metrics, and adaptive visualization techniques. It is particularly valuable for those looking to identify trading and investing opportunities based on trend changes and momentum shifts across any market and timeframe.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Advanced Momentum Scanner utilizes a multi-layered approach with four different EMA periods to identify market momentum and trend direction:
Ultra-Fast EMA for quick trend changes detection (default: 5)
Fast EMA for short-term trend analysis (default: 10)
Mid EMA for intermediate confirmation (default: 30)
Slow EMA for long-term trend identification (default: 100)
For momentum detection, the indicator implements a Rate of Change (RoC) calculation to measure price momentum over a specified period. It further enhances analysis by incorporating RSI readings for overbought/oversold conditions, volatility measurements through ATR, and optional volume confirmation. When these elements align, the indicator generates trading signals based on the selected sensitivity mode (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive).
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Multi-Period Trend Identification
The indicator combines multiple EMAs of different lengths to provide comprehensive trend analysis within the same timeframe, displaying the information through color-coded visual elements on the chart.
When an uptrend is detected, chart elements are colored with the bullish theme color (default: green/teal).
Similarly, when a downtrend is detected, chart elements are colored with the bearish theme color (default: red).
During neutral or indecisive periods, chart elements are colored with a neutral gray color, providing clear visual distinction between trending and non-trending market conditions.
This visualization provides immediate insights into underlying trend direction without requiring separate indicators, helping traders and investors quickly identify the market's current state.
2. Trend Strength Information Panel
The trend panel operates in three different sensitivity modes (Conservative, Aggressive, and Balanced), each affecting how the indicator processes and displays market information.
The Conservative mode prioritizes trend sustainability over frequency, showing only strong trend movements with high probability.
The Aggressive mode detects early trend changes, providing more frequent signals but potentially more false positives.
The Balanced mode offers a middle ground with moderate signal frequency and reliability.
Regardless of the selected mode, the panel displays:
Current trend direction (UPTREND, DOWNTREND, or NEUTRAL)
Trend strength percentage (0-100%)
Early detection signals when applicable
The active sensitivity mode
This comprehensive approach helps traders and investors:
→ Assess the strength of current market trends
→ Identify early potential trend changes before full confirmation
→ Make more informed trading and investing decisions based on trend context
3. Customizable Visualization Settings
This indicator offers extensive visual customization options to suit different trading styles and preferences:
Display options:
→ Fully customizable uptrend, downtrend, and neutral colors
→ Color-coded price bars showing trend direction
→ Dynamic gradient bands visualizing potential trend channels
→ Optional background coloring based on trend intensity
→ Adjustable transparency levels for all visual elements
These visualization settings can be fine-tuned through the indicator's interface, allowing traders and investors to create a personalized chart environment that emphasizes the most relevant information for their strategy.
The indicator also features a comprehensive alert system with notifications for:
New trend formations (uptrend, downtrend, neutral)
Early trend change signals
Momentum threshold crossovers
Other significant market conditions
Alerts can be customized and delivered through TradingView's notification system, making it easy to stay informed of important market developments even when you are away from the charts.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips

Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) [VolumeVigilante]📈 Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) — Professional-Grade Momentum Signal
This is not your average MACD .
The Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) is a statistically enhanced momentum tool, purpose-built for serious traders and breakout hunters . By applying Z-Score normalization to the classic MACD structure, this indicator uncovers statistically significant momentum shifts , enabling cleaner reads on price extremes, trend continuation, and potential reversals.
💡 Why It Matters
The classic MACD is powerful — but raw momentum values can be noisy and relative , especially on volatile assets like BTC/USD . By transforming the MACD line, signal line, and histogram into Z-scores , we anchor these signals in statistical context . This makes the Institutional MACD:
✔️ Timeframe-agnostic and asset-normalized
✔️ Ideal for spotting true breakouts , not false flags
✔️ A reliable tool for detecting momentum divergence and exhaustion
🧪 Key Features
✅ Full Z-Score normalization (MACD, Signal, Histogram)
✅ Highlighted ±Z threshold bands for overbought/oversold zones
✅ Customizable histogram coloring for visual momentum shifts
✅ Built-in alerts for zero-crosses and Z-threshold breaks
✅ Clean overlay with optional display toggles
🔁 Strategy Tip: Mean Reversion Signals with Statistical Confidence
This indicator isn't just for spotting breakouts — it also shines as a mean reversion tool , thanks to its Z-Score normalization .
When the Z-Score histogram crosses beyond ±2, it marks a statistically significant deviation from the mean — often signaling that momentum is overstretched and the asset may be due for a pullback or reversal .
📌 How to use it:
Z > +2 → Price action is in overbought territory. Watch for exhaustion or short setups.
Z < -2 → Momentum is deeply oversold. Look for reversal confirmation or long opportunities.
These zones often precede snap-back moves , especially in range-bound or corrective markets .
🎯 Combine Z-Score extremes with:
Candlestick confirmation
Support/resistance zones
Volume or price divergence
Other mean reversion tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands)
Unlike the raw MACD, this version delivers statistical thresholds , not guesswork — helping traders make decisions rooted in probability, not emotion.

Multi-Timeframe Stochastic RSI ArrowsMulti-Timeframe Stochastic RSI Arrows Indicator by The Venetian
Dear Moderators before you torch me alive theres nothing groundbreaking just very handy indicator for some users.
This indicator provides traders with a jet fighter-style heads-up display for market momentum across multiple timeframes. By displaying Stochastic RSI directional arrows for 12 different timeframes simultaneously, it offers a comprehensive view of market conditions without requiring multiple chart windows.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the Stochastic RSI for each of 12 common timeframes (1m to 3M) and represents directional movements with intuitive arrows:
- ▲ Green up arrow = Rising momentum
- ▼ Red down arrow = Falling momentum
- ◄► Yellow horizontal arrows = Flat/sideways momentum
- ► Gray right arrow = Just peaked (crossed above overbought)
- ◄ Gray left arrow = Just bottomed (crossed below oversold)
Each timeframe's status appears with its label (e.g., "1m ▲") in a clean, vertically-stacked display using ATR-based spacing to maintain consistent visual appearance regardless of price scale.
Key Features
- ATR-Based Spacing : Uses Average True Range to maintain consistent distances between labels even as chart scale changes
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Easily spot divergences and confluences across timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M)
- Sensitivity Control: Adjust flat detection sensitivity to filter out noise
- Customisable Appearance: Modify arrow size, vertical spacing, and show/hide timeframe labels
- Overbought/Oversold Detection: Highlights when momentum has peaked or bottomed at extreme levels
- Trading Applications
- Trend Alignment: Quickly identify when multiple timeframes align in the same direction
- Divergence Detection: Spot when shorter timeframes begin to shift against longer ones
- Entry/Exit Timing: Use crossovers of significant timeframes as potential signals
- Market Context: Maintain awareness of the bigger picture while trading shorter timeframes
This indicator doesn't break new ground technically but excels in presenting complex multi-timeframe information in a clean, actionable format — much like a pilot's heads-up display provides critical information at a glance. The ATR-based positioning ensures consistent visibility across different instruments and market conditions.
Great effort has been made for this script to adhere to TradingView's Pine Script house rules and focuses on trader usability rather than introducing novel technical concepts.
Cryptolabs Global Liquidity Cycle Momentum IndicatorCryptolabs Global Liquidity Cycle Momentum Indicator (LMI-BTC)
This open-source indicator combines global central bank liquidity data with Bitcoin price movements to identify medium- to long-term market cycles and momentum phases. It is designed for traders who want to incorporate macroeconomic factors into their Bitcoin analysis.
How It Works
The script calculates a Liquidity Index using balance sheet data from four central banks (USA: ECONOMICS:USCBBS, Japan: FRED:JPNASSETS, China: ECONOMICS:CNCBBS, EU: FRED:ECBASSETSW), augmented by the Dollar Index (TVC:DXY) and Chinese 10-year bond yields (TVC:CN10Y). This index is:
- Logarithmically scaled (math.log) to better represent large values like central bank balances and Bitcoin prices.
- Normalized over a 50-period range to balance fluctuations between minimum and maximum values.
- Compared to prior-year values, with the number of bars dynamically adjusted based on the timeframe (e.g., 252 for 1D, 52 for 1W), to compute percentage changes.
The liquidity change is analyzed using a Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) (period: 24) to measure momentum trends. A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) (period: 10) acts as a signal line. The Bitcoin price is also plotted logarithmically to highlight parallels with liquidity cycles.
Usage
Traders can use the indicator to:
- Identify global liquidity cycles influencing Bitcoin price trends, such as expansive or restrictive monetary policies.
- Detect momentum phases: Values above 50 suggest overbought conditions, below -50 indicate oversold conditions.
- Anticipate trend reversals by observing CMO crossovers with the signal line.
It performs best on higher timeframes like daily (1D) or weekly (1W) charts. The visualization includes:
- CMO line (green > 50, red < -50, blue neutral), signal line (white), Bitcoin price (gray).
- Horizontal lines at 50, 0, and -50 for improved readability.
Originality
This indicator stands out from other momentum tools like RSI or basic price analysis due to:
- Unique Data Integration: Combines four central bank datasets, DXY, and CN10Y as macroeconomic proxies for Bitcoin.
- Dynamic Prior-Year Analysis: Calculates liquidity changes relative to historical values, adjustable by timeframe.
- Logarithmic Normalization: Enhances visibility of extreme values, critical for cryptocurrencies and macro data.
This combination offers a rare perspective on the interplay between global liquidity and Bitcoin, unavailable in other open-source scripts.
Settings
- CMO Period: Default 24, adjustable for faster/slower signals.
- Signal WMA: Default 10, for smoothing the CMO line.
- Normalization Window: Default 50 periods, customizable.
Users can modify these parameters in the Pine Editor to tailor the indicator to their strategy.
Note
This script is designed for medium- to long-term analysis, not scalping. For optimal results, combine it with additional analyses (e.g., on-chain data, support/resistance levels). It does not guarantee profits but supports informed decisions based on macroeconomic trends.
Data Sources
- Bitcoin: INDEX:BTCUSD
- Liquidity: ECONOMICS:USCBBS, FRED:JPNASSETS, ECONOMICS:CNCBBS, FRED:ECBASSETSW
- Additional: TVC:DXY, TVC:CN10Y

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.

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!

Inner Bar Strength (IBS)Inner Bar Strength (IBS) Indicator
The Inner Bar Strength (IBS) indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to measure the position of the closing price relative to the day's price range. It provides insights into market sentiment by indicating where the close occurs within the high and low of a specific timeframe. The IBS value ranges from 0 to 1, where values near 1 suggest bullish momentum (close near the high), and values near 0 indicate bearish momentum (close near the low).
How It Works
The IBS is calculated using the following formula:
IBS = (Close−Low) / (High−Low)
IBS = (High−Low) / (Close−Low)
Close: Closing price of the selected timeframe.
Low: Lowest price of the selected timeframe.
High: Highest price of the selected timeframe.
The indicator allows you to select the timeframe for calculation (default is daily), providing flexibility to analyze different periods based on your trading strategy.

By measuring where the closing price lies within the day's range, it provides immediate insights into market sentiment. When used alongside other technical analysis tools, the IBS can enhance your trading strategy by identifying overbought or oversold conditions, confirming breakouts, and highlighting potential divergence signals.
Dual Momentum StrategyThis Pine Script™ strategy implements the "Dual Momentum" approach developed by Gary Antonacci, as presented in his book Dual Momentum Investing: An Innovative Strategy for Higher Returns with Lower Risk (McGraw Hill Professional, 2014). Dual momentum investing combines relative momentum and absolute momentum to maximize returns while minimizing risk. Relative momentum involves selecting the asset with the highest recent performance between two options (a risky asset and a safe asset), while absolute momentum considers whether the chosen asset has a positive return over a specified lookback period.
In this strategy:
Risky Asset (SPY): Represents a stock index fund, typically more volatile but with higher potential returns.
Safe Asset (TLT): Represents a bond index fund, which generally has lower volatility and acts as a hedge during market downturns.
Monthly Momentum Calculation: The momentum for each asset is calculated based on its price change over the last 12 months. Only assets with a positive momentum (absolute momentum) are considered for investment.
Decision Rules:
Invest in the risky asset if its momentum is positive and greater than that of the safe asset.
If the risky asset’s momentum is negative or lower than the safe asset's, the strategy shifts the allocation to the safe asset.
Scientific Reference
Antonacci's work on dual momentum investing has shown the strategy's ability to outperform traditional buy-and-hold methods while reducing downside risk. This approach has been reviewed and discussed in both academic and investment publications, highlighting its strong risk-adjusted returns (Antonacci, 2014).

Chande Momentum Oscillator StrategyThe Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) Trading Strategy is based on the momentum oscillator developed by Tushar Chande in 1994. The CMO measures the momentum of a security by calculating the difference between the sum of recent gains and losses over a defined period. The indicator offers a means to identify overbought and oversold conditions, making it suitable for developing mean-reversion trading strategies (Chande, 1997).
Strategy Overview:
Calculation of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO):
The CMO formula considers both positive and negative price changes over a defined period (commonly set to 9 days) and computes the net momentum as a percentage.
The formula is as follows:
CMO=100×(Sum of Gains−Sum of Losses)(Sum of Gains+Sum of Losses)
CMO=100×(Sum of Gains+Sum of Losses)(Sum of Gains−Sum of Losses)
This approach distinguishes the CMO from other oscillators like the RSI by using both price gains and losses in the numerator, providing a more symmetrical measurement of momentum (Chande, 1997).
Entry Condition:
The strategy opens a long position when the CMO value falls below -50, signaling an oversold condition where the price may revert to the mean. Research in mean-reversion, such as by Poterba and Summers (1988), supports this approach, highlighting that prices often revert after sharp movements due to overreaction in the markets.
Exit Conditions:
The strategy closes the long position when:
The CMO rises above 50, indicating that the price may have become overbought and may not provide further upside potential.
Alternatively, the position is closed 5 days after the buy signal is triggered, regardless of the CMO value, to ensure a timely exit even if the momentum signal does not reach the predefined level.
This exit strategy aligns with the concept of time-based exits, reducing the risk of prolonged exposure to adverse price movements (Fama, 1970).
Scientific Basis and Rationale:
Momentum and Mean-Reversion:
The strategy leverages the well-known phenomenon of mean-reversion in financial markets. According to research by Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), prices tend to revert to their mean over short periods following strong movements, creating opportunities for traders to profit from temporary deviations.
The CMO captures this mean-reversion behavior by monitoring extreme price conditions. When the CMO reaches oversold levels (below -50), it signals potential buying opportunities, whereas crossing overbought levels (above 50) indicates conditions for selling.
Market Efficiency and Overreaction:
The strategy takes advantage of behavioral inefficiencies and overreactions, which are often the drivers behind sharp price movements (Shiller, 2003). By identifying these extreme conditions with the CMO, the strategy aims to capitalize on the market’s tendency to correct itself when price deviations become too large.
Optimization and Parameter Selection:
The 9-day period used for the CMO calculation is a widely accepted timeframe that balances responsiveness and noise reduction, making it suitable for capturing short-term price fluctuations. Studies in technical analysis suggest that oscillators optimized over such periods are effective in detecting reversals (Murphy, 1999).
Performance and Backtesting:
The strategy's effectiveness is confirmed through backtesting, which shows that using the CMO as a mean-reversion tool yields profitable opportunities. The use of time-based exits alongside momentum-based signals enhances the reliability of the strategy by ensuring that trades are closed even when the momentum signal alone does not materialize.
Conclusion:
The Chande Momentum Oscillator Trading Strategy combines the principles of momentum measurement and mean-reversion to identify and capitalize on short-term price fluctuations. By using a widely tested oscillator like the CMO and integrating a systematic exit approach, the strategy effectively addresses both entry and exit conditions, providing a robust method for trading in diverse market environments.

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.

Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV)Overview
The Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV) indicator enhances the traditional Bollinger Bands by dynamically adjusting their width and position based on momentum and volume. This provides a more responsive and context-aware indication of price volatility and potential reversals.
Key Features
Momentum Adjusted Bands: Adjusts the bands' width based on the momentum indicator, reflecting the rate of change in price.
Volume Weighted Bands: Further adjusts the bands based on trading volume to reflect market activity and price volatility.
Signal Alerts: Provides buy and sell signals based on price action relative to the dynamic bands, helping traders identify entry and exit points.
Customizable Parameters: Allows users to adjust the lookback period, momentum sensitivity, and volume weighting for personalized analysis.
How It Works
The DBBMV indicator starts with the traditional Bollinger Bands, which are calculated using a moving average and standard deviation of the selected price source. The width of these bands is then adjusted based on the momentum of the price, making them more sensitive to price changes. Further adjustments are made based on trading volume, which ensures that the bands accurately reflect current market conditions. This results in a set of dynamic Bollinger Bands that provide more nuanced insights into price volatility and potential reversals.
Usage Instructions
Identify Volatile Periods: Use the dynamically adjusted bands to identify periods of high and low volatility in the market.
Spot Reversals: Look for buy signals when the price crosses above the lower band and sell signals when the price crosses below the upper band.
Adjust Sensitivity: Customize the lookback period, momentum sensitivity, and volume weighting to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and market conditions.
Enhance Analysis: Combine the DBBMV indicator with other technical analysis tools for a more comprehensive market analysis.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume-weighted adjustments to confirm the strength of price movements and potential breakouts.
The Dynamic Bollinger Bands with Momentum and Volume (DBBMV) indicator provides traders with a powerful tool to understand market dynamics better and make informed trading decisions based on adjusted volatility and market activity.
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!
