Neglected Volume by DGTVolume is one piece of information that is often neglected, however, learning to interpret volume brings many advantages and could be of tremendous help when it comes to analyzing the markets. In addition to technicians, fundamental investors also take notice of the numbers of shares traded for a given security.
What is Volume?
The volume represents all the recorded trades for a security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security. Think of volume as the force that drives the market. Volume substantiates, energizes, and empowers price. When volume increases, it confirms price direction; when volume decreases, it contradicts price direction.
In theory, increases in volume generally precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing or unchanged, it may show that there’s little interest in the security, and the price may reverse.
A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion.
Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume, you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows
Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
note : there’s no centralized exchange where trades are recorded, so the volume data represents what happens at a particular exchange only
In most charting platforms, the volume indicator is presented as color-coded bars, green if the security closes up and red if the security closed lower, where the height of the bars show the amount of the recorded trades
Within this study, Relative Volume , Volume Weighted Bars and Volume Moving Average are presented, where Relative Volume relates current trading volume to past trading volume over long period, Volume Weighted Bars presents price bars colored based on short period past trading volume average, and Volume Moving Average is average of volume over shot period
Relative Volume is presented as color-coded bars similar to regular Volume indicator but uses four color codes instead two. Notable increases of volume are presented in green and red while average values with back and gray, hence adding ability to emphasis notable increases in the volume. It is kind of a like a radar for how "in-play" a security is. Users are allowed to change the threshold, default value is set to Fibonacci golden ration standard deviation away from its moving average.
Volume Weighted Bars, a study of Kıvanç Özbilgiç, aims to present if price movements are supported by Volume. Volume Weighted Bars are calculated based on shot period volume moving average which will reflect more recent changes in volume. Price actions with high volume will be displayed with darker colors, average volume values will remain as they are and low volume values will be indicated with lighter colors.
Volume Moving Average, Is short period volume moving average, aims to display visually the volume changes. Please not that Relative Volume bars are calculated based on standard deviation of long volume moving average.
What Else?
Apart from the volume itself, your ability to assess what volume is telling you in conjunction with price action can be a key factor in your ability to turn a profit in the market. It makes little sense to analyze the volume alone. To correctly interpret the volume data, it shall be seen in the light of what the price is doing. there are a lot of other indicators that are based on the volume data as well as price action. Analysing those volume indicators has always helped traders and investors to better understand what is happening in the market.
Here are the ones adapted with this study. Some of them used as a source for our aim, some adapted as they are with slight changes to fit visually to this study and please note that the numerical presentation may differ from their regular use
• On Balance Volume
• Divergence Indicator
• Correlation Coefficient
• Chaikin Money Flow
Shortly;
On Balance Volume
The On Balance Volume indicator, is a technical analysis indicator that relates volume flow to changes in a security’s price. It uses a cumulative total of positive and negative trading volume to predict the direction of price. The OBV is a volume-based momentum oscillator, so it is a leading indicator — it changes direction before the price
Granville, creator of OBV, proposed the theory that changes in volume precede price movements in a measurable way. He believed that volume was the main force behind major market moves and thought of OBV’s prediction of price changes as a compressed spring that expands rapidly when released.
It is believed that the OBV shows the interactions between the institutional and retail traders in the market
If the price makes a new high, the OBV should also make a new high. If the OBV makes a lower high when the price makes a higher high, there’s a classical bearish divergence — indicating that only the retail traders are buying. Another type of bearish divergence occurs when the price remains relatively quiet and fails to make a higher high but the OBV soars higher than the previous high — indicating that the institutional traders are accumulating short positions. On the other hand, if the price makes a lower low and the OBV makes a higher low, there is a classical bullish divergence, showing that the institutional traders don’t believe in that move
With this study, Momentum and Acceleration (optional) of OBV is calculated and presented, where momentum is most commonly referred to as a rate and measures the acceleration of the price and/or volume of a security. It is also referred to as a technical analysis indicator and oscillator that is able to determine market trends.
Additionally, smoothing functionality with Least Squares Method is added
Divergences especially, should always be noted as a possible reversal in the current trend, so the divergence indicator is adapted with this study where the Momentum of OBV is assumed as Oscillator with similar usages as to RSI. Divergence is most often used to track and analyze the momentum in an asset’s price and the odds of a price reversal within the current trend. The divergence indicator warns traders and technical analysts of changes in a price/volume trend, oftentimes that it is weakening or changing direction.
Correlation Coefficient
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables. A correlation of -1.0 shows a perfect negative correlation, while a correlation of 1.0 shows a perfect positive correlation. A correlation of 0.0 shows no linear relationship between the movement of the two variables. In other words, the closer the Correlation Coefficient is to 1.0, indicates the instruments will move up and down together as it is mostly expected with volume and price. So the Correlation Coefficient Indicator aims to display when the price and volume (on balance volume) is in correlation and when not. With this study blue represent positive correlation while orange negative correlation. The strength of the correlation is determined by the width of the bands, to emphasis the effect horizontal lines are drawn with values set to 0.5 and -0.5. the values above 0.5 (or below -0.5) shows stronger correlation.
Chaikin Money Flow , provide optionally as a companion indicator
The Chaikin money flow indicator (CMF) is a volume indicator that measures the money flow volume over a chosen period. The money flow volume is a measure of the volume and where the price closed relative to the trading session’s range. It comes from the idea that buying pressure is indicated by a rising volume and recurrent closes in the upper part of the session’s price range while selling pressure is demonstrated by an increasing volume and repeated closes in the lower part of the price range.
Both buying and selling pressures are accompanied by an increase in volume, but the location of the closing prices are in accordance with the direction of price

Momentum TraderThis study combines two versatile momentum indicators :
Chande Momentum Oscillator:
-Measures trend strength, with higher absolute values meaning greater strength.
-Also tracks divergence. When price increases, but is not accompanied by an increase in Chande Momentum Oscillator values, it signifies bearish divergence and a reversal is likely to follow.
-Shown as the teal and pink histogram.
Percentage Price Oscillator:
-Similar to the MACD, except that it expresses the difference between the two moving averages in terms of a percentage. This makes it a little easier to visualize.
-PPO values greater than zero indicate an uptrend, as that means the fast EMA is greater than the slow (and vice versa).
Entry and Exit Conditions:
Enter When:
1) Chande Momentum crosses over zero from negative to positive territory. AND
2) It has been less than 3 bars since Chande Momentum was less than the lower green line. AND
3) Chande Momentum is rising(positive slope).
Exit When:
1) Chande Momentum is greater than the upper line. AND
2) It has been less than 6 bars since the PPO value was greater than the upper bound. AND
3) PPO is less than 5 (meaning the difference between the two EMA's is less than 5%). AND
4)PPO has a negative slope.
This study comes with alert conditions for long entries and exits.

RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman) is a hybrid momentum and volatility visualization tool that blends enhanced RSI interpretation with ADX-driven consolidation detection. This indicator doesn't just show where RSI is trending — it interprets how strong that trend is, when that strength changes, and where the market may be consolidating in anticipation of breakout movement.
Using a combination of Kalman-filtered RSI, custom-built DMI/ADX, and low-volatility zone recognition, it gives traders a dynamic RSI with strength-based coloring, while also highlighting consolidation zones to spot breakout opportunities.
█ Its uniqueness
Traditional RSI indicators lack context. They may show you when the market is overbought or oversold, but they won’t tell you how strong that condition is, or whether it’s likely to result in continuation or consolidation.
This tool aims to solve that by introducing adaptive strength metrics and structural compression zones, allowing traders to anticipate when the market is likely preparing for a move.
█ How It Works
⚪ Enhanced RSI
Combines traditional RSI and a custom RSI implementation
Smooths both through a Kalman filter for trend direction
Final RSI line reflects smoothed consensus between manual and built-in RSI
Adds an RSI + Strength overlay to show when the directional conviction is increasing
⚪ ADX-Driven Strength Layer
Directional Movement Index (DMI) is calculated both manually and with built-in smoothing
The average ADX value is used to calculate a strength modifier
When ADX exceeds 20, RSI is dynamically enhanced or dampened to reflect directional force
Resulting visual: RSI appears stronger or weaker based on confirmed trend conditions
⚪ Consolidation Zone Detection
When ADX falls below 20, the indicator enters a consolidation zone state
Boxes are drawn dynamically to contain the price within these low-volatility structures
Once the price breaks out of the zone, the indicator plots a breakout signal (▲ or ▼)
⚪ Breakouts
Breakout markers are placed at the first close outside the consolidation box
These signals serve as early indicators for potential trend continuation or reversal
█ How to Use
⚪ Confirm Momentum Strength
Use the RSI + Strength line to determine whether current momentum is backed by trend conviction. If strength expands alongside rising RSI, the move has confirmation.
⚪ Consolidations Zones
When RSI is around the midline, and a consolidation box appears, expect lower volatility and a range-bound market, followed by a breakout.
⚪ Use Breakout Signals for Entry
Look for ▲ or ▼ markers as early triggers. These often coincide with volume expansions or structural breaks.
█ Settings Explained
RSI Length – Number of bars used for RSI. Shorter = more sensitive.
DMI Length – Used in both custom and built-in ADX/DI calculations.
ADX Smoothing – Smooths the trend strength signal. Higher values = smoother strength detection.
Trend Confirmation (Filter Strength) – Adjusts the responsiveness of the Kalman filter.

Dskyz Options Flow Flux (OFF) - FuturesDskyz Options Flow Flux (OFF) - Futures
*This is a repost due to moderator intervention on use of ™ in my scripts. I'm in the process of getting this rectified. This was originally posted around mid-night CDT.
🧠 The Dskyz Options Flow Flux (OFF) - Futures indicator is a game changer for futures traders looking to tap into institutional activity with limited resources. Designed for TradingView this tool simulates options flow data (call/put volume and open interest) for futures contracts like MNQ MES NQ and ES giving u actionable insights through volume spike detection volatility adjustments and stunning visuals like aurora flux bands and round number levels. Whether u’re a beginner learning the ropes or a pro hunting for an edge this indicator delivers real time market sentiment and key price levels to boost ur trading game
Key Features
⚡ Simulated Options Flow: Breaks down call/put volume and open interest using market momentum and volatility
📈 Spike Detection: Spots big moves in volume and open interest with customizable thresholds
🧠 Volatility Filter: Adapts to market conditions using ATR for smarter spike detection
✨ Aurora Flux Bands: Glows with market sentiment showing u bullish or bearish vibes at a glance
🎯 Round Number Levels: Marks key psychological levels where big players might step in
📊 Interactive Dashboard: Real time metrics like sentiment score and volatility factor right on ur chart
🚨 Alerts: Get notified of bullish or bearish spikes so u never miss a move
How It Works
🧠 This indicator is built to make complex options flow analysis simple even with the constraints of Pine Script. Here’s the step by step:
Simulated Volume Data (Dynamic Split):
Pulls daily volume for ur chosen futures contract (MNQ1! MES1! NQ1! ES1!)
Splits it into call and put volume based on momentum (ta.mom) and volatility (ATR vs its 20 period average)
Estimates open interest (OI) for calls and puts (1.15x for calls 1.1x for puts)
Formula: callRatio = 0.5 + (momentum / close) * 10 + (volatility - 1) * 0.1 capped between 0.3 and 0.7
Why It Matters: Mimics how big players might split their trades giving u a peek into institutional sentiment
Spike Detection:
Compares current volume/OI to short term (lookbackShort) and long term (lookbackLong) averages
Flags spikes when volume/OI exceeds the average by ur set threshold (spikeThreshold for regular highConfidenceThreshold for strong)
Adjusts for volatility so u’re not fooled by choppy markets
Output: optionsSignal (2 for strong bullish -2 for strong bearish 1 for bullish -1 for bearish 0 for neutral)
Why It Matters: Pinpoints where big money might be stepping in
Volatility Filter:
Uses ATR (10 periods) and its 20 period average to calculate a volatility factor (volFactor = ATR / avgAtr)
Scales spike thresholds based on market conditions (volAdjustedThreshold = spikeThreshold * max(1 volFactor * volFilter))
Why It Matters: Keeps ur signals reliable whether the market is calm or wild
Sentiment Score:
Calculates a call/put ratio (callVolume / putVolume) and adjusts for volatility
Converts it to a 0 to 100 score (higher = bullish lower = bearish)
Formula: sentimentScore = min(max((volAdjustedSentiment - 1) * 50 0) 100)
Why It Matters: Gives u a quick read on market bias
Round Number Detection:
Finds the nearest round number (e.g. 100 for MNQ1! 50 for MES1!)
Checks for volume spikes (volume > 3 period SMA * spikeThreshold) and if price is close (within ATR * atrMultiplier)
Updates the top activity level every 15 minutes when significant activity is detected
Why It Matters: Highlights psychological levels where price often reacts
Visuals and Dashboard:
Combines aurora flux bands glow effects round number lines and a dashboard to make insights pop (see Visual Elements below)
Plots triangles for call/put spikes (green/red for strong lime/orange for regular)
Sets up alerts for key market moves
Why It Matters: Makes complex data easy to read at a glance

Parabolic RSI [ChartPrime]The Parabolic RSI indicator applies the Parabolic SAR directly to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) . This combination helps traders identify trend shifts and potential reversal points within the RSI framework. The indicator provides both regular and strong signals based on whether the Parabolic SAR crosses above or below key RSI thresholds.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Parabolic SAR Applied to RSI – Tracks momentum shifts within the RSI indicator.
Dynamic SAR Dots – Plots SAR levels directly on the RSI for visual clarity.
Threshold-Based Signal Filtering – Uses upper (70) and lower (30) RSI levels to determine strong signals.
Simple and Strong Signal System :
Big Diamonds (Strong Signals) – Appear when Parabolic SAR crosses above 70 or below 30 RSI, indicating potential reversals.
Small Diamonds (Regular Signals) – Appear when Parabolic SAR flips inside the RSI range, signaling weaker trend shifts.
Chart Overlay Signals – Highlights strong RSI-based trend shifts directly on the price chart.
Fully Customizable – Modify RSI length, SAR parameters, colors, and signal displays.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Look for strong signals (big diamonds) when SAR flips above 70 RSI (overbought) or below 30 RSI (oversold) for potential reversals.
Use regular signals (small diamonds) for minor trend shifts within the RSI range.
Combine with price action and other indicators to confirm entry and exit points.
Adjust the SAR acceleration factors to fine-tune sensitivity based on market conditions.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Parabolic RSI indicator merges trend-following and momentum-based analysis by applying the Parabolic SAR to RSI. This allows traders to detect trend shifts inside the RSI space with an intuitive diamond-based signal system .

Momentum Based RSIThe Momentum Based RSI is an enhancement to the RSI. it incorporates 2 sections:
MA Ratio (Fast/Slow)
RSI
at the end both of those are multiplied to create a more responsive RSI which reacts fast to market moves while still providing a whip ressistant tool.
Momentum Calculation
The "MA Ratio" as i like to call it results from comparing 2 MAs (both can be set to whatever type you like) against eachother, which, in the end, provides a Ratio that visualizes the difference. It is simple yet effective
RSI
An Old yet popular tool which dates back to 1978. In and out of itself it is a great tool, however it still can be enhanced.
The Combination
The RSI and the MARatio are multiplied together, which results in an RSI that is ampliefied by the speed of the market movements.
This proves highly effective, since the MA Ratio is hovering around at the same level. However during trends, it picks up speed in either of both directions which marginally increases the RSI's response the said movement.
Why its Creative, New and Good
While it is a super simple concept, it still holds a lot of power relative to its sophistication. Traders may use it like they used the Vanilla RSI (e.g Trend following, Mean-reversion or other).
Unlike RSI with momentum overlays, this indicator actively uses an MA Ratio multiplier for simplicity and responsiveness.
At last, Its primary goal is to detect trends faster while not creating more noise & false signals.
What not to do
if youre using this indicator, please do NOT change the Fast MA to be slower than to Slow MA or vice versa, since you'll be getting broken & noise induced signals which may not align with your goals.
Great inventions require great Care
As with anything, you should not use this tool without any other confluence. As great as the backtests may be, you dont know what the future holds, be careful!
This indicator is not a guaranteed predicition tool. If youre going to use it for investment decisions, please use it in coherence with other tools.
Thank you for reading!

Adapted RSI w/ Multi-Asset Regime Detection v1.1The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of an asset's recent price changes to detect overbought or oversold conditions in the price of said asset.
In addition to identifying overbought and oversold assets, the RSI can also indicate whether your desired asset may be primed for a trend reversal or a corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell.
The RSI will oscillate between 0 and 100. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought condition. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.
The RSI is one of the most popular technical indicators. I intend to offer a fresh spin.
Adapted RSI w/ Multi-Asset Regime Detection
Our Adapted RSI makes necessary improvements to the original Relative Strength Index (RSI) by combining multi-timeframe analysis with multi-asset monitoring and providing traders with an efficient way to analyse market-wide conditions across different timeframes and assets simultaneously. The indicator automatically detects market regimes and generates clear signals based on RSI levels, presenting this data in an organised, easy-to-read format through two dynamic tables. Simplicity is key, and having access to more RSI data at any given time, allows traders to prepare more effectively, especially when trading markets that "move" together.
How we calculate the RSI
First, the RSI identifies price changes between periods, calculating gains and losses from one look-back period to the next. This look-back period averages gains and losses over 14 periods, which in this case would be 14 days, and those gains/losses are calculated based on the daily closing price. For example:
Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 days / 14
Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 days / 14
Then we calculate the Relative Strength (RS):
RS = Average Gain / Average Loss
Finally, this is converted to the RSI value:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Key Features
Our multi-timeframe RSI indicator enhances traditional technical analysis by offering synchronised Daily, Weekly, and Monthly RSI readings with automatic regime detection. The multi-asset monitoring system allows tracking of up to 10 different assets simultaneously, with pre-configured major pairs that can be customised to any asset selection. The signal generation system provides clear market guidance through automatic regime detection and a five-level signal system, all presented through a sophisticated visual interface with dynamic RSI line colouring and customisable display options.
Quick Guide to Use it
Begin by adding the indicator to your chart and configuring your preferred assets in the "Asset Comparison" settings.
Position the two information tables according to your preference.
The main table displays RSI analysis across three timeframes for your current asset, while the asset table shows a comparative analysis of all monitored assets.
Signals are colour-coded for instant recognition, with green indicating bullish conditions and red for bearish conditions. Pay special attention to regime changes and signal transitions, using multi-timeframe confluence to identify stronger signals.
How it Works (Regime Detection & Signals)
When we say 'Regime', a regime is determined by a persistent trend or in this case momentum and by leveraging this for RSI, which is a momentum oscillator, our indicator employs a relatively simple regime detection system that classifies market conditions as either Bullish (RSI > 50) or Bearish (RSI < 50). Our benchmark between a trending bullish or bearish market is equal to 50. By leveraging a simple classification system helps determine the probability of trend continuation and the weight given to various signals. Whilst we could determine a Neutral regime for consolidating markets, we have employed a 'neutral' signal generation which will be further discussed below...
Signal generation occurs across five distinct levels:
Strong Buy (RSI < 15)
Buy (RSI < 30)
Neutral (RSI 30-70)
Sell (RSI > 70)
Strong Sell (RSI > 85)
Each level represents different market conditions and probability scenarios. For instance, extreme readings (Strong Buy/Sell) indicate the highest probability of mean reversion, while neutral readings suggest equilibrium conditions where traders should focus on the overall regime bias (Bullish/Bearish momentum).
This approach offers traders a new and fresh spin on a popular and well-known tool in technical analysis, allowing traders to make better and more informed decisions from the well presented information across multiple assets and timeframes. Experienced and beginner traders alike, I hope you enjoy this adaptation.
Uptrick: Adaptive Volatility Oscillator### **Overview and Purpose**
The **"Uptrick: Adaptive Volatility Oscillator"** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize volatility trends within the financial markets. This indicator is particularly useful for traders and analysts who seek to understand the market's underlying momentum by analyzing the relationship between volume and price changes. It adapts to changing market conditions, providing a dynamic way to gauge overbought and oversold levels, identify potential reversals, and track the strength of market movements.
### **Core Components**
1. **Volume Oscillator Calculation**:
- **Purpose**: The volume oscillator is at the heart of this indicator. It measures the directional momentum of volume by comparing current volume levels with those of previous periods.
- **How It Works**: The oscillator calculates the difference between current and past volume levels, determining whether the market is experiencing buying or selling pressure. This is normalized to ensure the oscillator's values are comparable across different time frames and market conditions.
- **Normalized Oscillator**: To make the oscillator's readings more meaningful, the values are normalized by adjusting for standard deviation over a long period (150 bars). This step helps in smoothing out the noise and highlights significant shifts in market activity.
2. **Adaptive Filter Calculation**:
- **Purpose**: The adaptive filter refines the raw oscillator data to create a smoother signal that is responsive to market changes without being overly reactive to minor fluctuations.
- **Adaptive Coefficient**: This coefficient, set by the user, controls the sensitivity of the filter. A higher coefficient makes the filter more sensitive to recent changes, while a lower coefficient gives more weight to past data.
- **How It Works**: The filter applies a weighted average to the oscillator values, where recent data is given more importance. This creates a dynamic signal that adapts to the market's changing conditions, highlighting significant trends and potential turning points.
3. **Signal Line**:
- **Purpose**: The signal line serves as a benchmark for the filtered oscillator values, providing a basis for comparison to determine the current trend's strength.
- **Smoothing**: The signal line is smoothed over a user-defined period to ensure it represents the underlying trend accurately. This smoothing process reduces the noise and allows traders to focus on the more meaningful movements.
4. **Overbought/Oversold Zones**:
- **Purpose**: These zones help traders identify when the market is potentially overstretched and due for a correction. They are crucial for timing entry and exit points.
- **Thresholds**: The user-defined thresholds represent levels where the oscillator values are considered extreme. When the oscillator crosses these levels, it signals that the market may be overbought or oversold.
- **Visual Cues**: The indicator plots these zones on the chart, making it easy for traders to see when the market enters these critical areas. This visualization is vital for spotting potential reversals or continuations in the trend.
5. **Histogram Visualization**:
- **Purpose**: The histogram provides a visual representation of the volatility in the market, making it easier to interpret the oscillator's readings.
- **Color Coding**: The histogram bars are color-coded based on the filtered oscillator's relationship with the signal line. Green bars indicate a positive momentum (bullish), while red bars indicate negative momentum (bearish). This color-coding helps traders quickly assess the market's current state.
- **Intensity of Movement**: The height and color intensity of the histogram bars reflect the strength of the underlying trend. Higher bars with more intense colors signify stronger market movements.
6. **Buy and Sell Signals**:
- **Purpose**: The indicator provides explicit buy and sell signals based on the oscillator's interaction with the signal line and the overbought/oversold thresholds.
- **Buy Signal**: A buy signal is generated when the filtered oscillator crosses above the signal line while in the oversold zone. This suggests that the market may be reversing upwards from an oversold condition.
- **Sell Signal**: Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the filtered oscillator crosses below the signal line while in the overbought zone, indicating a potential downward reversal from an overbought condition.
- **Visual Representation**: These signals are visually represented on the chart with specific symbols, such as green circles for buy signals and red circles for sell signals, making them easy to spot.
### **Usefulness and Applications**
1. **Trend Identification**:
- The indicator is highly effective in identifying the current trend and its strength. By analyzing the relationship between the oscillator and the signal line, traders can determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or ranging. The adaptive nature of the filter ensures that the trend signals remain relevant even as market conditions change.
2. **Volatility Analysis**:
- Understanding market volatility is crucial for risk management and strategy development. This indicator provides a clear view of how volatility is evolving, helping traders adjust their strategies accordingly. For example, higher volatility might suggest the need for tighter stop losses or more conservative position sizes.
3. **Overbought/Oversold Detection**:
- The overbought and oversold zones are essential for identifying potential reversal points. These zones can be used to time entries and exits, particularly in markets that are prone to mean reversion. The visual cues provided by the indicator make it easier to spot when the market might be overstretched.
4. **Adaptive Filtering**:
- The adaptive filter is a significant advantage of this indicator. Unlike static filters, which might lag or react too quickly to noise, the adaptive filter adjusts to the market's pace. This makes the indicator versatile, suitable for different market conditions, and less prone to giving false signals.
5. **Visual Clarity**:
- The indicator is designed with visual clarity in mind. The color-coded bars and overbought/oversold zones make it easy to interpret the market's current state at a glance. This is particularly useful for traders who rely on quick decision-making or need to monitor multiple assets simultaneously.
6. **Customizability**:
- The indicator offers several user inputs that allow traders to customize it according to their trading style and market of interest. This includes the length of the volume period, the sensitivity of the adaptive filter, and the thresholds for overbought/oversold conditions. Such flexibility makes it a valuable tool for both short-term traders and long-term investors.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Adaptive Volatility Oscillator" is a powerful and versatile indicator that blends volume analysis with adaptive filtering to provide a nuanced view of market trends and volatility. Its ability to identify overbought and oversold conditions, coupled with its adaptive nature, makes it an indispensable tool for traders looking to gain an edge in the markets. Whether you're aiming to spot trend reversals, confirm the strength of ongoing trends, or manage risk through volatility analysis, this indicator offers the insights needed to make informed trading decisions. Its clear visual signals and customizable parameters further enhance its utility, making it suitable for a wide range of trading strategies and market environments.
GKD-C Composite Index [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Composite Index is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C Composite Index
The Composite Index is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that enhances the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) by incorporating momentum and multiple time frame analysis. It calculates two versions of the RSI, one at a slower period and another at a faster period, to capture both long-term trends and short-term market fluctuations. The innovation comes from introducing a momentum factor, RSIDelta, which is the difference between the slow RSI and its value a specified number of periods ago, highlighting the rate of change in market sentiment. Simultaneously, the fast RSI is smoothed with a simple moving average (SMA) over a designated period (RSIsma), blending immediate price movements with ongoing trends. The Composite Index then combines these elements (RSIDelta and RSIsma), creating a singular metric that embodies both momentum and the smoothed trend. This index is further refined by averaging it over two additional periods, offering a multifaceted view that assists in identifying overbought or oversold conditions with enhanced sensitivity to market dynamics. This method aims to provide traders with a deeper understanding of market forces, potentially leading to more informed trading decisions by capturing nuances missed by the standard RSI.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
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
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
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, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
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.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 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)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
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: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

VAcc (Velocity & Acceleration)VAcc (Velocity & Acceleration) is a momentum indicator published by Scott Cong in Stocks & Commodities V. 41:09 (8–15). It applies concepts from physics, namely velocity and acceleration, to financial markets. VAcc functions similarly to the popular MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator when using a longer lookback period, but produces more responsive results. With shorter periods, VAcc exhibits characteristics reminiscent of the stochastic oscillator.
🟠 Algorithm
The average velocity over the past n periods is defined as
((C - C_n) / n + (C - C_{n-1}) / (n - 1) + … + (C - C_i) / i + (C - C_1) / 1) / n
At its core, the velocity is a weighted average of the rate of change over the past n periods.
The calculation of the acceleration follows a similar process, where it’s defined as
((V - V_n) / n + (V - V_{n - 1}) / (n - 1) + … + (V - V_i) / i + (V - V_1) / 1) / n
🟠 Comparison with MACD
A comparison of VAcc and MACD on the daily Nasdaq 100 (NDX) chart from August 2022 helps demonstrate VAcc's improved sensitivity. Both indicators utilized a lookback period of 26 days and smoothing of 9 periods.
The VAcc histogram clearly shows a divergence forming, with momentum weakening as prices reached new highs. In contrast, the corresponding MACD histogram significantly lagged in confirming the divergence, highlighting VAcc's ability to identify subtle shifts in trend momentum more immediately than the traditional MACD.
Momentum EruptionIndicator: Momentum Eruption , using momentum to capture swing trading.
⏩Principle overview:
The core of Momentum Eruption is divided into two parts. One is to identify the trend direction. This is relatively clear. It is usually more effective to identify the direction through moving averages such as SMA or EMA. The second is to identify trading opportunities and use the idea of following the trend in large cycle and reversing the trend in small cycle. For example, when the large cycle is bullish and the small cycle is callback, if there are oversold conditions, a rebound from the previous low support, a long downward pin-bar, and an increase in trading volume at the same time, the extreme value of the price rebound or correction can be calculated. When following the trend, go long at the extreme value of the callback and go short at the extreme value of the rebound.
⏩Usage:
Signal: "B" stands for long buy signal. "S" stands for short sell signal.
Support and resistance: "Purple areas" represent support areas and "yellow areas" represent resistance areas.
🧿Tip I:
Adaptive signal. Take long buying as an example. When the purple area representing the support range appears, the market is bullish. If a "B" signal appears at this time, it means that you can consider buying and do a wave of short-term trading.
Usually there will be many short-term trading opportunities in a wave of rising trend.
🧿Tip II:
Since the market is reciprocating, the indicator will prompt many signals when it is trending. Each signal is observed and used independently, and it does not prompt the closing and profit taking points. Take profit and stop loss can be set according to your own trading cycle and style.
Regardless of whether it rises or falls, there will always be many swings that can be captured in the trend.

Momentum Sparkler (MS)Introduction:
In this script, we will be creating an indicator called "Momentum Sparkler" that plots lines on the chart to visualize the momentum of the given source.
Explanation:
First, we define the input "Source" as the source for the data to be plotted, and the input "Length" as an integer determining the number of lines to plot.
We then create an array called "lines" to store the lines we will be plotting.
Using an if statement, we check if the current bar is the last bar in the chart. If it is, we use a for loop to iterate through the range of the "Length" input and add a line to the "lines" array for each iteration. The color of each line is determined by a color gradient, with the first line being the most red and the last line being the most green.
Next, we use another if statement to check if the current bar is confirmed. If it is, we use a for loop to iterate through the "lines" array and delete all the lines. This is to prevent the lines from being carried over to the next bar and potentially being plotted multiple times.
Conclusion:
This script can be useful for quickly visualizing the momentum of the given source and identifying potential trends or reversals. It can be helpful for making trading decisions or for adding an additional layer of analysis to a chart.
1st Gray Cross Signals ━ Histogram SQZMOM [whvntr][LazyBear]This is the Histogram Version of one of my other indicators named: SQZ Momentum + 1st Gray Cross Signals (with arrows) Which is a modification of "Squeeze Momentum Indicator" by user: "LazyBear". In that indicator of his he described, and suggested, the use of his gray cross signals to find points of interest for trading based on the direction of momentum when the first gray cross appears... I have programmed these points, and highlighted them, for ease of use. The 1st gray cross strategy, he said , is from John F. Carter's book, Chapter 11, "Mastering the Trade".
Here we have the Histogram version, with background highlights only, and nothing on the chart, in true SQZ Momentum style.
Disclaimer: using this indicator, or any indicator anywhere, involves risk when trading and isn't a guarantee of 100% accurate results.
Outback RSI & Hull [TTF]This indicator was originally made to help users following along with one of our strategies that we call The Outback (hence the name).
One of the component indicators of that strategy is an RSI with a Hull Moving Average added on top of the RSI as an additional reference for the momentum of the RSI. Many people either had difficulty setting this up correctly, or were having issues with the Indicator on Indicator component, so we built this indicator to assist in that regard.
As we continued to use it, we found it to be a pretty sound momentum indicator that had much to offer by enhancing the more normal RSI, and wanted to make this indicator generally available to the public.
The basic premise of this indicator is as follows:
The core is a traditional RSI with a "normal" (usually Simple) moving average
The "secret sauce" is adding a 2nd moving average (a Hull Moving Average, inspired by Insilico's awesome Hull Suite) based off the RSI
By leveraging the RSI's position relative to both the Simple and Hull moving averages, you can better gauge the relative strength of the current momentum, as well as better visualize longer-term momentum direction and strength based on the moving average slopes and direction.
Normalized Velocity [Loxx]Velocity (which is often called a "smoother momentum" since it is much smoother than momentum without lagging at all) with an addition of ATR normalization
Since velocity is (even when normalization is applied) is not an indicator with fixed bounds, this indicator is uses floating levels for what is usually called overbought and oversold levels (+ a floating "zero" line is added). Something that would look like a "fixed levels" is easily achieved if you use long floating levels period in which case those levels are quite similar to fixed levels.
This indicator can be used like any momentum indicator (in that case recommended coloring mode is to use either slope coloring or "zero" middle level crossing coloring) or it can be used as a "trending" indicator in which case it is better to use coloring on outer level cross, and longer calculation periods are advised in that case.

TTM Regression°This oscillator attempts to provide context to John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" indicator.
Similar to my MAR° indicator, statistically significant areas based on the past n candles (Lookback) are calculated to provide context for the y-axis values of the TTM indicator.
Note that Carter's squeeze idea has been dropped in favour of the regression bands, in that they offer a clear visual momentum squeeze condition.
The regression bands identify temporary exhaustion of bullish (purple) and bearish (green) momentum; these could potentially be seen as overbought and oversold indications.
The dotted midlines dictate intra-zones where momentum could reverse to continue the larger trend.
All the latter behave similarly to Support and Resistance zones.
The oscillator can also be normalized over a given interval to show results on a scale between 0 and 100, preserving even more context over time.
You should experiment for yourself to find out what is best for you in terms of scale, and Normalization Period.
Normalization Example: on the left you can observe how the momentum is visualized differently based on the scale, given the rapid momentum to the upside.
// –––. Regular
// –––. Normalized
It's crucial to use this oscillator as confluence only and not to take trades based solely on its indications.
At the moment there are no alerts set for this script, open to suggestions :)
[TTI] ZVR Watchlist––––History & Credit ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This indicator/screener is inspired by the methodology of a great momentum master - Dan Zanger. Dan holds the world record for higher % gain in a 12month period, which was achieved in 1998 and has not been broken since. One of the secrets he has shared with the world is his famous Zanger Volume Ratio (ZVR), to which his attributes great part of his success.
–––––What it does –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The script allows you to monitor your watchlist for the most important momentum indicators on an intraday basis in order to maximise your chance of jumping in the right time.
1️⃣ ZVR - pre breakout indicator
ZVR measures unusual momentum at a given time of the day.
Example
Imagine it is the first hour of the trading session and you get AAPL with a daily volume (up to that time) of 2mn shares. Is this normal or not? If you just compare it to the average volume you will be making a logical mistake, since you have 7more hours for volume to reach the "average" level. Henceforth, average volume should be compared on an end of day basis. However, the ZVR looks at the current intraday cumulative volume at any particular time of day, and compare that to the average cumulative volume that has usually traded by that time of day in the past.
The 4 colors are 4 types:
🔴 (RED) — Volume is over 200% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
🟣 (PURPLE) — Volume is between 150% and 200% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
💓 (PINK) — Volume is between 100% and 150% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
🟠 (ORANGE) — Volume is between 50% and 100% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
🌚 (GRAY) — Volume is under 50% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
2️⃣ SQN
The SQN is defined by the late Market Wizard Dr. Van Tharp: "A measure of a market’s movement through an application of the System Quality Number calculation. To calculate, the daily changes from close to close measured in percentage terms are averaged and the standard deviation is calculated. Plugged into the SQN formula, those values and the number of days (N) provide the market SQN score."
👉 Super Bullish - denoted by SB and lime color
👉 Bullish - denoted by B and green color
👉 Neutral - denoted by N and cyan/aqua color
👉 Bearish - denoted by Br and dark red color
👉 Super Bearish - denoted by SBr and light red color
–––––How to use it –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I use the indicator very much like a watchlist. I put it on a secondary chart and load up all the stocks that I have identified as a buyable. I then wait to get signs of breakout. My favourites are stocks which are in SuperBullish trend (SQN) and starting to show RED ZVR in the beginning of the day. Often these are very strong names that show institutional buying. I purchase close to pivot point and hold for a swing trade. If the stock advances too fast 5-7% on the day, I take some off into strength.
Suggested use for this indicator is to combine with any volatility contraction methodology. Some examples include the TTM Squeeze, Squeeze Pro or my personal favorite Mark Minervini's Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP).
Look for stocks in a long term uptrend (we have another indicator for Stage 2 identification).
Momentum LineWhat is this?
Momentum line (a blue line at the bottom area) tells you the short term trend movement of price. It will useful when the major trend is not developed-well. This line is not for a single use. We suggest you to use it with our other module: Trend Optimizer module, as shown above the momentum line.
Indicator & Strategies:
Momentum Line is based on moving average convergence divergence (MACD). We don't use the histogram, we don't concern the 2 lines crossing. So we blend the two lines into single lines.
See the charts, see the trend color (trend optimizer module) when it changed from long red color into white. It shows the medium trend changed from strong downtrend into neutral. But since the long term trend (the vertical trend bar below) is still not yet changed into green, the major trend (medium & long term) is still in development process. This is when we need to look at momentum line. If it pointing up, it gives confirmation that the uptrend is developing and you can buy the stocks using trend or swing strategies 9our profit trader module)
Benefit For you:
You can detect an early bottom reversal phase especially when you combine this momentum line script with out trend optimizer script.
Momentum CloudThis is a modified Ichimoku Cloud:
-The default Lookback-Length and Displacement settings have been modified to operate optimally on 24/7 markets - which is popular among Crypto analysts.
-The Lagging Span, Base Line, and Conversion Line have been removed - leaving just the bare cloud.
-Additionally, the Cloud's color will shift blue when it is compressed. (More specifically - when Leading Span A retreats to Leading Span B, the color changes.)
This allows the user to easily identify when the Cloud is "thinning", either to the upside, or the downside.
Being that the "spread" or "width" of an Ichimoku Cloud generally gauges it's efficacy as potential Support or Resistance, this tool is particularly useful for highlighting when momentum is weakening.
*This script will be updated in the future to allow the user to view the Momentum Cloud of alternate time-frames! (e.g, Viewing the 1D Momentum Cloud on the 1H timeframe)
RSI Performance - TradingEDThis case study is based on a previous RSI study, but with three different counts to compare different trends. The use of this indicator is restricted to private use, and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original code, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level, from beginner to intermediate and advanced .
Key components of the original indicator:
● The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a popular momentum oscillator developed in 1978.
● The RSI provides technical traders signals about bullish and bearish price momentum, and it is often plotted beneath the graph of an asset's price.
● An asset is usually considered overbought when the RSI is above 70% and oversold when it is below 30%.
It is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to assess overbought or oversold conditions in the price of an asset. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line chart moving between two extremes) and can read from 0 to 100. Overbought does not necessarily mean that the price will reverse lower, just as oversold does not mean that the price will reverse higher. Rather, the overbought and oversold conditions simply alert traders that the RSI is near the extremes of its recent readings.
Main functions of this modified indicator:
1) The SOURCE for the counts can be determined by the trader (close, open, etc).
2) You can select the type of MOVING AVERAGE, among many available options ( SMA , EMA , DEMA , HMA , etc.)
3) The MEASURE can be based on a CANDLES count if you are trading OHLC Charts from 1D onwards, or if your trading is intraday, you can also select counts by MINUTES, HOURS or DAYS, depending on your trading style.
4) LENGTH, by default it will be loaded as in the STRATEGY, but considering the previous point, you can modify it according to your convenience.
5) You have the option to hide or show a LABEL at the top of the chart, with respect to the signals: BULLISH green, BEARISH red.

Chef BubblesThis is an enhanced version of Momentum indication Ways that shows 2 ways to calculate momentum and display each one along with their combined average value.
Essentially I've matched the momentum from the lower time frames together to determine when we are getting a push, amazing for scalps, I use it for everything.
Alongside this, I also made sure to add the currency's strength pretty much embedded within the momentum indicator , thus giving you the best momentum indication you can get a good entry point majority of the time if used right. I recommend matching this with my moving average crossover pair.
