Momentum 8% 4% 9MMomentum 8% 4% 9M is a simple yet effective visual indicator designed to highlight significant daily price moves and high volume activity on your stock charts.
Features:
Daily Price Move Highlights:
Background turns green when the daily price gain is equal to or greater than 8%, signaling strong bullish momentum.
Background turns red when the daily price drop is equal to or less than -4%, indicating notable bearish moves.
High Volume Marker:
Displays a small yellow upward triangle below the bar on days when the trading volume exceeds 9 million, helping you easily spot volume spikes.
This indicator provides clear visual cues directly on your price chart, making it easier to spot days of unusual market activity without cluttering your chart with excessive labels. It is ideal for traders looking to quickly identify big moves and volume surges for further analysis or trading decisions.
How it works:
The script calculates the daily percentage change from the previous close and compares it with predefined thresholds (8% up, 4% down). Volume is checked against the threshold of 9 million shares. Appropriate background colors and shape markers are then plotted accordingly.
Stochastic MomentumThis RSI indicator uses the difference between the K and D values in the Stochastic RSI indicator. Using the same layered lengths of 12, 24, 48 and 96 intervals that the Avg Stoch RSI indicator, this offers a rate of change momentum measurement. Crossovers are at zero, this indicator gives a clearer indicator of market momentum.
Romi Trend and Momentum Oscillator
Great oscillator which determines trend and momentum. So accurate it could be used as a stand alone indicator.

Multi Momentum 10/21/42/63 — Histogram + 2xSMAMY MM INDICATOR INDIRED BY KARADI
It averages four rate-of-change snapshots of price, all anchored at today’s close.
If “Show as %” is on, the value is multiplied by 100.
Each term is a simple momentum/ROC over a different lookback.
Combining 10, 21, 42, 63 bars blends short, medium, and intermediate horizons into one number.
Positive MM → average upward pressure across those horizons; negative MM → average downward pressure.
Why those lengths?
They roughly stack into ~2× progression (10→21≈2×10, 21→42=2×21, 63≈1.5×42). That creates a “multi-scale” momentum that’s less noisy than a single fast ROC but more responsive than a long ROC alone.
How to read the panel
Gray histogram = raw Multi-Momentum value each bar.
SMA Fast/Slow lines (defaults 12 & 26 over the MM values) = smoothing of the histogram to show the trend of momentum itself.
Typical signals
Zero-line context:
Above 0 → bullish momentum regime on average.
Below 0 → bearish regime.
Crosses of SMA Fast & Slow: momentum trend shifts (fast above slow = improving momentum; fast below slow = deteriorating).
Histogram vs SMA lines: widening distance suggests strengthening momentum; narrowing suggests momentum is fading.
Divergences: price makes a new high/low but MM doesn’t → potential exhaustion.
Compared to a classic ROC
A single ROC(20) is very sensitive to that one window.
MM averages several windows, smoothing idiosyncrasies (e.g., a one-off spike 21 bars ago) and reducing “lookback luck.”
Settings & customization
Lookbacks (10/21/42/63): you can tweak for your asset/timeframe; the idea is to mix short→medium horizons.
Percent vs raw ratio: percent is easier to compare across symbols.
SMA lengths: shorter = more reactive but choppier; longer = smoother but slower.
Practical tips
Use regime + signal: trade longs primarily when MM>0 and fast SMA>slow SMA; consider shorts when MM<0 and fast
SMT - Squeeze Momentum Trend📊 Squeeze Momentum Trend
An indicator that combines volatility, momentum, and trend to anticipate the market’s strongest moves. 🚀
✅ Squeeze → when Bollinger Bands tighten inside the Keltner Channel: the market is in compression, ready to “explode”.
✅ Momentum → shows direction and strength (green = bullish push, red = bearish push).
✅ Trend Filter → confirms direction using a higher timeframe EMA (to avoid false signals).
💡 In practice:
🔥 If price breaks out of a squeeze with positive momentum → potential long breakout.
❄️ If it breaks out with negative momentum → potential short breakout.
📌 Perfect for spotting key moments when the market stops “resting” and makes its next big move.
Momentum BandsMomentum Bands indicator-->technical tool that measures the rate of price change and surrounds this momentum with adaptive bands to highlight overbought and oversold zones. Unlike Bollinger Bands, which track price, these bands track momentum itself, offering a unique view of market strength and exhaustion points. At its core, it features a blue momentum line that calculates the rate of change over a set period, an upper red band marking dynamic resistance created by adding standard deviations to the momentum average, a lower green band marking dynamic support by subtracting standard deviations, and a gray middle line representing the average of momentum as a central anchor. When the momentum line touches or moves beyond the upper red band, it often signals that the market may be overbought and a pullback or reversal could follow; traders might lock in profits or watch for short setups. Conversely, when it drops below the lower green band, it can suggest an oversold market primed for a bounce, prompting traders to look for buying opportunities. If momentum remains between the bands, it typically indicates balanced conditions where waiting for stronger signals at the extremes is wise. The indicator can be used in contrarian strategies—buying near the lower band and selling near the upper—or in trend-following setups by waiting for momentum to return toward the centerline before entering trades. For stronger confirmation, traders often combine it with volume spikes, support and resistance analysis, or other trend tools, and it’s useful to check multiple timeframes to spot consistent patterns. Recommended settings vary: short-term traders might use a 7–10 period momentum with 14-period bands; medium-term traders might keep the default 14-period momentum and 20-period bands; while long-term analysis might use 21-period momentum and 50-period bands. Visually, background colors help spot extremes: red for strong overbought, green for strong oversold, and no color for normal markets, alongside reference lines at 70, 30, and 0 to guide traditional overbought, oversold, and neutral zones. Typical bullish signals include momentum rebounding from the lower band, crossing back above the middle after being oversold, or showing divergence where price makes new lows but momentum doesn’t. Bearish signals might appear when momentum hits the upper band and weakens, drops below the middle after being overbought, or price makes new highs while momentum fails to follow. The indicator tends to work best in mean-reverting or sideways markets rather than strong trends, where overbought and oversold conditions tend to repeat.

Forex 15min - 4H Avoid during major news spikes
Crypto 1H - 4H Use with volume confirmation
Futures 5min - 1H Ideal for intraday momentum trades
❌ Avoid: Tick charts, <1min (too noisy), >Daily (loses sensitivity).
4. Confirmation Tools (Must-Use Combos)
A. Trend Confirmation
200 EMA (Price Chart)
Only trade longs if price > 200 EMA + momentum supports
Only trade shorts if price < 200 EMA + momentum confirms
ADX (14)
Use when ADX > 25 (strong trend) + momentum aligns
B. Volume Confirmation
Volume Profile
Enter longs only if momentum breaks resistance at high-volume nodes
VWAP
Buy pullbacks when momentum holds support and price is above VWAP
C. Price Structure
Fibonacci Retracements
Look for momentum breaks at 61.8% Fib levels for high-probability trades
Market Structure (Higher Lows/Lower Highs)
Momentum breakouts work best when price confirms trend
5. Trading Signals & Execution Rules
A. Breakout Trades (High Momentum)
Signal Conditions Action
Resistance Broken Histogram > Orange Zone + Price > Key S/R Enter Long
Support Broken Histogram < Blue Zone + Price < Key S/R Enter Short
Stop Loss:
Longs: 1 tick below nearest swing low
Shorts: 1 tick above nearest swing high
Take Profit:
Trail using the opposite zone (exit long when momentum drops below support)
B. Reversal Trades (Momentum Exhaustion)
Signal Conditions Action
Resistance Holding Histogram rejects Orange Zone + Bearish candle Short Entry
Support Holding Histogram bounces off Blue Zone + Bullish candle Long Entry
Stop Loss:
Beyond the recent swing high/low
Take Profit:
At next key S/R level
6. Advanced Interpretation
A. Divergence Trading
Hidden Bullish Divergence:
Price makes higher low, but momentum makes lower low → Potential reversal up
Hidden Bearish Divergence:
Price makes lower high, but momentum makes higher high → Potential reversal down
B. Session-Based Trading
London Open (3 AM EST): Watch for momentum breaks with volume surge
NY Midday (10 AM - 12 PM EST): Best for trend continuation
Crypto (UTC Midnight): Often sees volatility spikes
7. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Risk per trade: 1-2% of account
Leverage: ≤5x for intraday, ≤2x for swing
Avoid trading:
First 15 mins after major news
Low-volume periods (e.g., forex after 5 PM EST)
8. Pro Tips for Consistency
✅ Wait for Close: Don’t trade wicks, wait for candle close beyond zones.
✅ Combine with Price Action: Only trade if momentum aligns with candlestick patterns (e.g., pin bars, engulfing).
✅ Adjust Lookback: Increase in choppy markets, decrease in trends.
9. Limitations & Fixes
Issue Solution
Whipsaws in choppy markets Increase Min Lookback to 30+
Slow reaction in trends Reduce Max Lookback to 50
False breakouts Require volume confirmation
Final Verdict
This script is best used as a momentum filter – not a standalone system. Combine with:
✔ Trend indicators (200 EMA, ADX)
✔ Volume analysis (VWAP, Volume Profile)
✔ Price structure (S/R, Fibs)
Momentum IndexMomentum Index - Advanced Market Momentum Detector
This indicator combines two specialized oscillators to detect market momentum shifts with high precision. Unlike standard momentum indicators, it integrates both short-term volatility analysis and longer-term trend strength to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
How It Works
The Momentum Index measures directional power through a dual-oscillator system:
A short-term volatility oscillator compares upward movement power (high minus previous low) against downward movement power (low minus previous high), normalized by ATR to ensure volatility independence.
A longer-term trend oscillator uses logarithmic price relationships to detect underlying trend strength through two complementary methods.
These oscillators are normalized, averaged, and enhanced with a momentum acceleration component for increased sensitivity to directional changes.
Trading Signals
The critical signal occurs when the indicator crosses the 50 line:
Crossing ABOVE 50: Bullish momentum is now dominant (green histogram)
Crossing BELOW 50: Bearish momentum is taking control (red histogram)
These crossings often precede significant price movements, making them valuable for both trend confirmation and early reversal detection.
Customization Options
Length: Adjusts the short-term oscillator sensitivity (default: 6)
Smoothing: Enables Ehlers smoothing to reduce noise
Smoothing Period: Controls the smoothing intensity
Display Options: Show as histogram or line
For optimal results, use on any timeframe from 15-minute to daily charts across all major markets. The indicator works particularly well for identifying momentum shifts at key support/resistance levels.
Rolling ATR Momentum
Rolling ATR Momentum Indicator – User Manual
---
🔍 Overview
The Rolling ATR Momentum Indicator is a simple yet powerful tool designed to detect shifts in market volatility. It compares the current Average True Range (ATR) with the ATR from a previous point in time to measure how market volatility is changing.
This indicator is especially useful for:
- Spotting the beginning or fading of a momentum phase
- Filtering out low-volatility market conditions
- Enhancing timing for entries and exits in trending or breakout trades
---
📊 Key Components
✅ ATR Delta (Rolling)
- Definition: `ATR Delta = Current ATR - Past ATR`
- Inputs:
- ATR Period (default: 14): The base ATR calculation window
- Lookback Period (default: 5): How many bars ago to compare ATR
- Interpretation:
- Positive ATR Delta (Green Line): Market volatility is increasing
- Negative ATR Delta (Red Line): Market volatility is decreasing
📈 Zero Line
- A horizontal baseline at zero helps you easily see when ATR momentum shifts from negative to positive (or vice versa).
🟩/🟥 Background Color
- Green Background: ATR Delta is positive (rising volatility)
- Red Background: ATR Delta is negative (falling volatility)
🔵 Optional: ATR Reference Lines
- You can optionally display raw Current ATR and Past ATR by changing their visibility settings.
---
✅ How to Use It
Entry Timing (Futures/Options)
- Use ATR Delta as a filter:
- Only take trades when ATR Delta is positive → confirms momentum is building
- Avoid trades when ATR Delta is negative → market might be slow, sideways, or losing steam
Breakout Anticipation
- A rising ATR Delta after a tight range or consolidation can suggest that a breakout is underway
Stop-loss Strategy
- Use high ATR periods for wider stops (to avoid noise)
- Use low ATR periods for tighter stops or skip trading
---
🧠 Pro Tips
- This indicator doesn’t predict direction—combine with trend or price structure tools (like EMA, PPMA, candlesticks)
- Works best in trending or breakout environments
- Add it to multi-timeframe layouts to see volatility buildup on higher timeframes
---
⚙️ Settings
| Parameter | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| ATR Period | Length of the ATR calculation (default 14) |

Momentum Candle Identifier # Momentum Candle Identifier
This indicator helps traders identify significant momentum candles by analyzing candle body size relative to recent price action (think after consolidation periods). Unlike traditional volatility indicators, this tool specifically focuses on price movement captured by the candle body (open to close distance), filtering out potentially misleading wicks.
## How It Works
- The indicator calculates the average candle body size over a user-defined lookback period
- Momentum candles are identified when their body size exceeds the average by a customizable threshold multiplier
- Bullish momentum candles (close > open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- Bearish momentum candles (close < open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- A real-time information panel displays key metrics including current average body size and threshold values
## Key Features
- Focus on candle body size rather than full range (high to low)
- Custom lookback period to adapt to different timeframes
- Adjustable threshold multiplier to fine-tune sensitivity
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish momentum candles
- Optional labels for momentum candles
- Information panel showing lookback settings, average size, and momentum candle count
## Usage Tips
- Use shorter lookback periods (3-5) for more signals in choppy markets
- Use longer lookback periods (8-20) to identify only the most significant momentum moves
- Higher threshold multipliers (2.0+) will identify only the strongest momentum candles
- Combine with trend indicators to find potential reversal or continuation signals
- Look for clusters of momentum candles to identify strong shifts in market sentiment
This indicator helps identify candles that represent significant price movement relative to recent activity, potentially signaling changes in market momentum, sentiment shifts, or the beginning of new trends.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator with Entry Tactics### **Squeeze Momentum Indicator with Stacked EMAs**
#### **Description:**
This indicator is an enhanced version of the **Squeeze Momentum Indicator** (originally by John Carter and later modified by LazyBear). It identifies **periods of consolidation (squeeze)** and signals potential **explosive price moves** when momentum shifts. The added **stacked EMA concept** further refines entry signals by confirming trend strength. This is also an update to version 6 of PineScript
#### **How to Use:**
The indicator provides **three different entry tactics**, allowing traders to choose signals based on their strategy:
1. **Inside Day Pattern** – Detects inside candles, which indicate potential breakouts when volatility contracts.
2. **Consecutive Black Crosses (Squeeze Signal)** – A certain number of black crosses (low volatility periods) suggests a strong move is coming.
3. **Stacked EMA Concept** – When the **8 EMA > 21 EMA > 34 EMA**, combined with a momentum shift from negative to positive, it signals a **high-probability bullish entry**.
#### **Visual Cues:**
- **Histogram Bars**: Show momentum (green for increasing bullish, red for increasing bearish).
- **Black & Gray Dots**: Represent different squeeze states (low volatility vs. breakout conditions).
- **🔥 Bullish Label**: Appears when the stacked EMAs align and momentum shifts from negative to positive.
#### **Best Practices:**
- Look for **momentum shifts during a squeeze** for high-probability trades.
- Use **stacked EMAs as trend confirmation** before entering.
- Combine with **price action and volume analysis** for additional confluence.
This indicator helps traders **anticipate major price moves** rather than react, making it a powerful tool for trend-following and breakout strategies. 🚀

--- 💡 MOMENTUM THEORY CONCEPT ---
The best trade setups are found at swing points for 3 reasons:
They are the highest probability point the market will continue pushing.
They provide the best Stop Loss protection.
They offer the greatest Risk-to-Reward.
The goal of trading is to identify when these swing points occur to take the best trade setups.
Every swing point consists of a push towards a peak, a peak formation, and a push away from a peak. There is no way to know how long a push towards or away from a peak will last, but the peak formation can be identified by 2 elements:
A fakeout of a previous peak level
A flip of its last breakout level
We can track the movement of the market by looking at which peak level is triggered relative to its breakout level. How price behaves at the previous peak levels shows where momentum is headed. It continues to build towards a new peak until it fakes out the previous peak level and flips its breakout level, creating a swing point.
Swing points on the higher timeframes show up as multiple swing points on the lower timeframes, but they often won't be moving in sync. When 2 timeframe swing points get in alignment, the market will move smoothly together. You find the lower timeframe swing point the exact same way you find the higher timeframe one.
The market is constantly moving from one swing point to the next in a repeatable cycle. By using higher timeframe breakout levels and peak levels triggered, we can track where we are in this cycle to anticipate its future movement. This is the Momentum Cycle and it repeats itself over and over.
By using the exact same concept, we can identify mechanical alignment patterns on the lower timeframes to create setups that work in every phase of the market cycle. Momentum Theory Scanner searches for these patterns inside the watchlist.

The goal of trading is to identify when these swing points occur to take the best trade setups.
Every swing point consists of a push towards a peak, a peak formation, and a push away from a peak. There is no way to know how long a push towards or away from a peak will last, but the peak formation can be identified by 2 elements:
A fakeout of a previous peak level
A flip of its last breakout level
We can track the movement of the market by looking at which peak level is triggered relative to its breakout level. How price behaves at the previous peak levels shows where momentum is headed. It continues to build towards a new peak until it fakes out the previous peak level and flips its breakout level, creating a swing point.
Swing points on the higher timeframes show up as multiple swing points on the lower timeframes, but they often won't be moving in sync. When 2 timeframe swing points get in alignment, the market will move smoothly together. You find the lower timeframe swing point the exact same way you find the higher timeframe one.
The market is constantly moving from one swing point to the next in a repeatable cycle. By using higher timeframe breakout levels and peak levels triggered, we can track where we are in this cycle to anticipate its future movement. This is the Momentum Cycle and it repeats itself over and over.
By using the exact same concept, we can identify mechanical alignment patterns on the lower timeframes to create setups that work in every phase of the market cycle. Identify your own patterns or use the suggested ones below. Watch the Live Trading Examples to see how these patterns are used.

--- 🧩 EXTENDING MOMENTUM THEORY ---
If the best trade setups are found at swing points, then that must mean that every trading strategy that's worth learning must have some type of method to identify that specific move. Since Momentum Theory specializes in identifying the swing point, it can easily fit into most trading strategies by removing discretion and inserting a mechanical process to filter your existing strategy's setups. By using only non-negotiable levels such as Previous Day High / Low, you can convert most discretionary patterns into mechanical ones to hopefully help increase your consistency. My hope is that you can build your own library of mechanical setups that are specific to your strategy that go beyond the ones that I've provided.
--- 📝 HOW TO USE ---
⚠ Click on "Indicators > Invite-Only > Momentum Theory" to add it to your charts.
1) Determine directional bias on the higher timeframe chart.
2) Identify the cycle and setup pattern on the middle timeframe chart and wait for the momentum timeframe to be triggered.
3) Execute entries when the lower timeframes are aligned. Market is fractal and you can pick whatever timeframe you want for entry. Trade as simple or complex as you want.
⚠️ Trigger bars are an indication of breakout bias alignment at the lowest timeframes. They are NOT signals to be taken blindly without further analysis.

Momentum Entry & Trend Strategy M5Momentum Entry & Trend Strategy M5
Description:
The Momentum Entry & Trend Strategy M5 is an indicator script designed to assist traders in determining optimal buy and sell moments based on momentum and trend analysis. This script operates using two different momentum levels—Momentum Length for Entry (5) and Momentum Length for Trend (10)—along with the HMA (Hull Moving Average) indicator for trend confirmation.
Key Features:
Momentum Entry: Calculates momentum using the difference between the current price and the price from previous periods to determine the strength and direction of price movements.
Trend Identification: Utilizes two momentum levels (5 and 10) to identify bullish and bearish trend conditions.
HMA for Trend Confirmation: The HMA indicator is used to provide trend confirmation signals. When HMA indicates bullish, a buy signal is displayed; conversely, a bearish HMA results in a sell signal.
Signal Display: Displays buy (BUY) and sell (SELL) signals on the chart when the conditions for market entry are met, providing clear visualization for traders.
Background Color: Offers a green background for uptrends and a red background for downtrends, allowing traders to easily identify the overall market condition.
ATR (Average True Range): Calculates and plots a smoothed ATR to help traders measure market volatility.
Settings:
Momentum Length for Entry: 5 (to determine entry signals)
Momentum Length for Trend: 10 (to determine trend conditions)
HMA Length: 300 (period length for HMA to confirm trends)
ATR Length: 14 (period length for ATR to measure volatility)
Benefits:
This script is designed to provide visual and data-driven guidance for better trading decision-making. By combining momentum and trend analysis, traders can enhance the accuracy of their signals and reduce the risk of errors when identifying entry and exit points in the market.
Note:
This script is intended for use on the M5 time frame but can be adjusted for other time frames as needed. It is always recommended to conduct thorough testing before applying trading strategies on a live account.
RoC Momentum CycleRoC Momentum Cycles (RMC) is derived from RoC (Rate of Change) indicator.
Motivation behind RMC: Addressing RoC’s Shortcomings
While the Rate of Change (RoC) indicator is a valuable tool for assessing momentum, it has notable limitations that traders must be aware of. One of the primary challenges with the traditional RoC is its sensitivity to price fluctuations, which can lead to false signals in volatile markets. This often results in premature entries or exits, impacting trading performance.
By smoothing out the RoC calculations and focusing on more consistent signal generation (using SMA on smoothed RoC), RMC offers a more consistent representation of price trends.
Momentum Cycles
RMC helps visualize momentum cycles in a much better way compared to RoC.
Long Momentum Cycle : A cross-over of smoothed RoC (blue line) above averaged signal (orange line) below zero marks start of a new potential upside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero line from above.
Short Momentum Cycle : A cross-under of blue line below orange line above zero marks beginning of a potential downside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero from below.
Savitzky-Golay Filtered Chande Momentum OscillatorThe Savitzky-Golay Filtered Chande Momentum Oscillator (SGCMO) is a modified version of the Chande Momentum Oscillator that functions as a powerful analytical tool, capable of detecting trends and mean reversals. By applying a Savitzky-Golay filter to the price data, the oscillator provides enhanced visualization and smoother readings. (credit to © anieri for the Savitzky-Golay filter code: www.tradingview.com)
Chande Momentum Oscillator
The Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) is a technical indicator developed by Tushar Chande. It measures the momentum of an asset's price movement and provides insights into the overbought or oversold conditions of the market. The CMO calculates the difference between the sum of positive price changes and the sum of negative price changes over a specified period, and then normalizes it to a scale between -100 and +100. Traders and investors use the CMO to identify potential trend reversals, confirm the strength of a current trend, and generate buy or sell signals.
Smoothing
The Savitzky-Golay filter is a digital filter commonly employed for smoothing and noise reduction in time-series data. In the context of the SGCMO, the aim is to effectively smooth the CMO values, reducing the impact of short-term fluctuations and providing clearer insights into underlying trends. Additionally, an exponential moving average (EMA) filter is applied to further reduce noise and enhance trend visibility. This filtered CMO indicator may provide traders and investors with a clearer and more refined representation of momentum changes in the underlying asset, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
Application
The SGCMO serves as both a trend-following and mean-reversion tool. Traders can track the current trend using bullish white lines or bearish orange lines in trending markets. Alternatively, they can utilize green and red vertical lines, which indicate price retracement and help capture pullbacks and reversals. Green vertical lines appear when the trend reverses upwards in an oversold zone (-50 to -80), while red vertical lines indicate negative trend reversals in an overbought zone (50 to 80). Opening long positions when green and white lines appear, or short positions when red and orange lines are visible, can be considered. However, it is advisable to combine this indicator with other complementary technical analysis tools and incorporate it into a comprehensive trading strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
Sector MomentumThis indicator shows the momentum of a market sector. Under the hood, it's the MACD of the number of stocks above their 20 SMA in a specific sectors. The best insight it gives is to tell if the market is doing a sector rotation or having a full blown correction.
Users have the options to choose a specific sector out of the 11 sectors:
XLB, XLC, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK, XLP, XLRE, XLU, XLV, XLY or show all them them by adding multiple indicators.
Use this indicator similar to MACD to look for momentum acceleration, deceleration and turn in a sector. More importantly, users can open up the indicator for all sectors and then compare between each.
Examples:
1. When we see momentum slows down in XLP and turn of XLK, it's a sign of sector rotation from consumer staple to tech. Money is going from defensive to riskier assets. Market is leaning towards risk-on mode. Stocks in tech have higher probability to outperform those in consumer staple.
2. When we see momentum subside across all sectors all at once or one by one, particularly both XLP, XLK/XLY, we'd expect market breadth is taking a hit across all sectors. This is not a sector rotation. A short to mid term market correction or drawdown is very likely.

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: Blau Candlestick Momentum Indicator 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.

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: Blau 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 Blau Candlestick Momentum Index
What is Blau Candlestick Momentum Index?
The Blau Candlestick Momentum Index (CMI) 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 Indicator, 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.
The CMI is calculated using the following formula:
CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) = 100 * CMtm(price1,price2,q,r,s,u) / EMA(EMA(EMA(|cmtm(price1,price2,q)|,r),s),u)
where:
- price1: close price
- price2: open price q bars ago
- q: number of bars used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum
- cmtm(price1,price2,q): Candlestick Momentum
- CMtm(price1,price2,q,r,s,u): Triple smoothed Candlestick Momentum
- EMA(...,r): first smoothing - exponentially smoothed moving average with period r, applied to Candlestick Momentum and absolute value of Candlestick Momentum
- EMA(EMA(...,r),s): second smoothing - EMA of period s, applied to result of the first smoothing
- EMA(EMA(EMA(...,r),s),u): third smoothing - EMA of period u, applied to result of the second smoothing ³.
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)
- AppliedPrice1: price type (default value is PRICE_CLOSE)
- AppliedPrice2: price type (default value is PRICE_OPEN) ³.
