Momentum on EMA oscillatorThis script calculates the momentum on a 2 ema oscillator.
Ema crossing often (always ?) come too late. The momentum is used to anticipate the moment where the 2 ema will cross, offering a signal to take into account.
Does not work well in a range market. Signal comes too late and is thus in opposition with the market timing.
Seeing such a trap is trivial as you won't buy if the market is slightly bear or flat.
Signals is quite good to detect the begining of a bull/bear market.
Can display some interesting divergence.

Momentum OverviewThis script simply displays the status of my preferred momentum indicator (MACD) on multiple timeframes. Simple to use and helpful for keeping in mind what momentum is doing on multiple time frames. I may consider allowing for changeable timeframes in the future, but for now this is set to selected, important timeframes.
Function : Know Sure Thing ! (KST)Firstly : Know Sure Thing, or KST , is a momentum oscillator developed by Martin Pring to make rate-of-change readings easier for traders to interpret. In a 1992 Stocks and Commodities article, Mr. Pring referred to the indicator as "Summed Rate of Change ( KST )," but the KST term stuck with technical analysts. The indicator is relatively common among technical analysts preferring momentum oscillators to make decisions.
References : Investopedia (www.investopedia.com )
Let's start :
Simply :
KST : Above point 0 means long position (positive zone), below point 0 (negative zone) means short position.
I liked this indicator more than RSI because we can evaluate the breaking points of the channels we draw on the indicator according to the regions.
Plus area (positive area), breaking the channel upwards may indicate a very strong rise, and minus area (negative area) the channel downwards may indicate a very strong fall.
As a person who is very keen to identify major trends in advance, I like the KST indicator to approach the target quickly and simply. I also find it very successful in terms of divergences.
CAUTION : This indicator has been written before many times on TV. I have no effort on it. I saved loads only for variable periods. But I have enough experience to say that you are successful in trends with KST . Nevertheless, do not use it alone, as other promoters may benefit.
For example , I divided the standard periods into 4 as in the script. With a correct adaptive period, it has the potential to contribute greatly to accurate moves! You can use with mutable variable periods. Abundant trend lines can be drawn on the indicator and divergences between price and indicator can be sought. Best regards!
Momentum DivergenceTrading Divergence based on Momentum (Indicator below), If you want to make this a strategy i would use all those indicators above for extra confirmation.

MPT - MEDIAN PRICE TRADING - custom forex indicator
MPT is a unique custom indicator i created to enter a trade with the right timing
This indicator catches the momentum of a Forex pair and tells you when to enter
It's based on the idea that when the median price in the current timeframe is crossing the median price of the higher timeframe, the momentum is changing and that is an opportunity to trade
red line is median line of current timeframe (default is 1D)
aqua line is projection of past median line on higher timeframe (default is 1W)
white crosses can be used as a trail stop values to follow a trend
when red cross aqua up the background is green and so momentum of the pair is up
when red cross aqua down no background color and momentum down
You can try this indicator for a limited period, just ask for access in comments

MILLION MEN - Capitulation Hunter What it is
MILLION MEN – Capitulation Hunter detects potential capitulation buy-limits using a confluence of momentum, volatility, and liquidity cues. It combines a 5-oscillator sentiment (RSI / Stoch / CCI / MFI / MACD histogram) with EMA200 trend context, Bollinger lower band proximity, volume climax, and an optional liquidity sweep check. When all filters align, the tool paints a BUY-LIMIT zone and proposes SL/TP levels.
How it works (high-level)
Oscillator sentiment (0–100%): counts how many of the five oscillators are bullish; capitulation candidate = 0%.
Trend & location: price below EMA200 and at/through BB lower band (basis ± mult×σ).
Selling climax: current volume ≥ X × volume SMA.
Liquidity sweep (optional): current low sweeps the prior N-bar low but closes back above it.
Confirmation: optional 0–2 extra bars (close > low and bullish bodies) before validating.
On validation, the script draws: BUY-LIMIT zone, dotted SL = zone bottom − ATR×mult, TP by R:R, and a mini sentiment table.
How to use
Look for zones after fast, extended selloffs into BB-L with volume spike and oscillators at 0%.
Place pending BUY-LIMIT inside the painted zone; use the plotted SL/TP as a starting point.
Works across timeframes; adjust volume multiplier, sweep length, confirmation bars, and ATR×SL to your market.
For added confluence: HTF structure, session/flow, or order-book/liquidity context.
Originality & value
Instead of a generic mashup, this tool enforces a strict confluence: (1) five-oscillator capitulation, (2) location at BB-L under EMA200, (3) volume climax, (4) optional sweep/recapture, and (5) bar-based confirmation—then auto-renders a practical trade plan (zone + SL/TP) and a readable sentiment table. All calculations are manual (no lookahead) and designed for clarity and execution.
Limitations & transparency
Capitulation can persist during strong downtrends; always use structure and risk management.
SL/TP visuals are hints, not orders; adapt to instrument volatility and liquidity.
Non-standard chart types aren’t supported for signals. No future data is used.
This is not financial advice; past performance does not guarantee future results.

RSI Mansfield +RSI Mansfield+ – Adaptive Relative Strength Indicator with Divergences
Overview
RSI Mansfield+ is an advanced relative strength indicator that compares your instrument’s performance against a configurable benchmark index or asset (e.g., Bitcoin Dominance, S&P 500). It combines Mansfield normalization, adaptive smoothing techniques, and automatic detection of bullish and bearish divergences (regular and hidden), delivering a comprehensive tool for assessing relative strength across any market and timeframe.
Originality and Motivation
Unlike traditional relative strength scripts, this indicator introduces several distinctive improvements:
Mansfield Normalization: Scales the ratio between the asset and the benchmark relative to its moving average, transforming it into a normalized oscillator that fluctuates around zero, making it easier to spot outperformance or underperformance.
Adaptive Smoothing: Automatically selects whether to use EMA or SMA based on the market type (crypto or stocks) and timeframe (intraday, daily, weekly, monthly), avoiding manual configuration and providing more robust results under varying volatility conditions.
Divergence Detection: Identifies four types of divergences in the Mansfield oscillator to help anticipate potential reversal points or trend confirmations.
Multi-Market Support: Offers benchmark selection among major crypto and global stock indices from a single input.
These enhancements make RSI Mansfield+ more practical and powerful than conventional relative strength scripts with static benchmarks or without divergence capabilities.
Core Concepts
Relative Strength (RS): Compares price evolution between your asset and the selected benchmark.
Mansfield Normalization: Measures how much the RS deviates from its historical moving average, expressed as a scaled oscillator.
Divergences: Detects regular and hidden bullish or bearish divergences within the Mansfield oscillator.
Timeframe Adaptation: Dynamically adjusts moving average lengths based on timeframe and market type.
How It Works
Benchmark Selection
Choose among over 10 indices or market domains (BTC Dominance, ETH Dominance, S&P 500, European indices, etc.).
Ratio Calculation
Computes the price-to-benchmark ratio and smooths it with the adaptive moving average.
Normalization and Scaling
Transforms deviations into a Mansfield oscillator centered around zero.
Dynamic Coloring
Green indicates relative outperformance, red signals underperformance.
Divergence Detection
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish (regular and hidden) divergences by comparing oscillator pivots against price pivots.
Baseline Reference
A clear zero line helps interpret relative strength trends.
Usage Guidelines
Benchmark Comparison
Ideal for traders analyzing whether an asset is outperforming or lagging its sector or market.
Divergence Analysis
Helps detect potential reversal or continuation signals in relative strength.
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility
Can be applied to intraday, daily, weekly, or monthly charts.
Interpretation
Oscillator >0 and green: outperforming the benchmark.
Oscillator <0 and red: underperforming.
Bullish divergences: potential relative strength reversal to the upside.
Bearish divergences: possible loss of momentum or reversal to the downside.
Credits
The concept of Mansfield Relative Strength is based on Stan Weinstein’s original work on relative performance analysis. This script was built entirely from scratch in TradingView Pine Script v6, incorporating original logic for adaptive smoothing, normalized scaling, and divergence detection, without reusing any external open-source code.
Quantum Shift [MOT]🔷 Quantum Shift — Multi-Timeframe Reversal System with EMA-Based Structure Mapping
Quantum Shift is a multi-timeframe trading system designed to help traders identify high-probability reversal zones, breakout continuations, and trend shifts using a combination of real-time signal detection and structural level plotting.
This tool is built for precision execution — especially for traders working on futures markets, indices, and high-frequency assets using 30-second, 1-minute, and 5-minute charts.
Rather than relying on traditional lagging methods, Quantum Shift combines exponential moving averages, volume-triggered reversal candles, and dynamic structure logic to help you interpret market changes with greater clarity and confluence.
________________________________________
🔍 What Does It Do?
Quantum Shift continuously monitors price action and trend pressure across multiple timeframes. When the system detects that the current price behavior has reversed direction and aligns across multiple perspectives, it triggers an actionable visual signal. These signals are plotted on the chart with entry zones, optional stop levels, and color-coded background clouds to represent broader trend flow.
________________________________________
🧠 Core Features & How They Work
________________________________________
✅ 1. Multi-Timeframe Reversal Signals
At the heart of the script is a custom-built engine that detects momentum reversals using:
Reversal candles (Blue for bullish setups, Purple for bearish setups)
Price relationship to exponential moving averages
Agreement across multiple timeframes (typically current, lower, and higher)
This triple-confirmation approach filters out low-conviction setups and focuses on structural shifts that are likely to result in a directional move.
📸 Image: A blue candle signal forming on a 1-minute chart with green background cloud.
________________________________________
✅ 2. EMA-Based Support & Resistance Plotting
When a significant crossover occurs between two exponential moving averages, Quantum Shift automatically plots a horizontal level at the crossover price. These levels are interpreted as dynamic support or resistance zones, based on the direction of the signal.
Bullish EMA crossover → support level is plotted
Bearish EMA crossover → resistance level is plotted
These levels appear on 1-minute and 5-minute charts, and remain until they are invalidated by price
If price breaks back through the level in the opposite direction, it is automatically removed
📸 Image: Dynamic support and resistance lines in action — dashed lines represent 1-minute levels, while solid lines indicate 5-minute levels.
________________________________________
✅ 3. Trend Clouds
Quantum Shift overlays the chart with trend clouds that respond to directional pressure in real time. These zones are calculated using multi-tiered Supertrend logic and provide an at-a-glance way to:
Confirm broader trend bias
Avoid entering against strong directional moves
Visually align entry signals with the current market regime
📸 Image: Background fill transitioning from red to green, with signal appearing shortly after.
________________________________________
✅ 4. Volume & Risk Filters
To enhance quality and reduce noise, Quantum Shift includes:
Volume spike filtering — signals require above-average volume (configurable)
Stop range limitation — filters out setups with excessive risk
Chop zone detection — suppresses signals in sideways markets
These filters can be toggled and adjusted to suit different strategies and risk profiles.
📸 Image: All possible signal filters in the settings
________________________________________
✅ 5. Smart Entry Labeling & Dynamic Stop Loss
Upon confirmation of a valid reversal signal:
The script plots a Buy or Sell label at the entry candle
A dynamic stop-loss level is plotted below/above the reversal point
Alerts can be triggered based on:
Initial candle formation
Breakout of the trigger candle
Confluence of trend filters and volume
📸 Image: A “Sell” label and dynamic stop plotted above purple reversal candle.
________________________________________
✅ 6. Multi-Timeframe Trend Table
The live dashboard provides a simplified view of trend alignment and recent signals across timeframes:
Lower timeframe trend state
Higher timeframe trend state
Last signal candle type
Timeframe labels for clarity
This allows traders to confirm confluence without switching between charts.
📸 Image: Trend table showing last trend and candle state on HTF and LTF

Catalyst TrendCatalyst Trend – A Comprehensive Trend and Regime Analyzer
The Catalyst Trend indicator was designed to dynamically and intuitively merge various classic analytical techniques. The goal is to filter out short-term market noise and reveal reliable trend phases or potential turning points. Below is a detailed explanation of its core elements and practical usage.
1. Concept and Idea
Multidimensional Trend Detection
This indicator goes beyond a simple momentum or volatility focus. It factors in multiple measurements to provide a more well-rounded market perspective.
Versatile Indicator Fusion
Linear Regression (LinReg): Multiple LinReg calculations are combined to smooth out price fluctuations and produce a robust trendline—known here as the “Cycle Reduced Line.”
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Flags potential overbought or oversold conditions, in both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe.
ATR (Average True Range): Assesses volatility; used to dynamically adjust calculation lengths.
By weaving these elements together, the indicator adds value beyond simply stacking multiple indicators. It adapts to real-time market conditions, aiming to highlight genuine trends and reduce false signals.
2. Key Functions and Calculations
Dynamic Length & Smoothing
A blend of volatility (ATR), ADX values, and RSI inputs determines how many candles are used in the LinReg calculations and how heavily the data is smoothed.
This allows the indicator to respond promptly during periods of high volatility, while automatically adjusting to filter out unnecessary noise in quieter phases.c
Cycle Reduced Line
The script averages several offset LinReg calculations to produce a cleaner overall signal. Random outliers are thus minimized, making the trend path more visually consistent.
An additional EMA smoothing (“Final Smoothing”) further stabilizes this trendline, reducing the impact of minor price fluctuations.
Channel Bands (Optional)
These bands are derived from the standard deviation of the price residual (the difference between the smoothed price and the trendline).
They highlight potential over-extension zones: the upper band can mark short-term overbought areas, while the lower band might indicate oversold conditions.
Trend and Sideways Determination
Slope Calculation: The slope of the trendline (comparing the current bar to the previous one) helps identify short-term directional shifts.
DX Threshold: Once the ADX surpasses a user-defined threshold and the slope is positive, it may indicate a developing uptrend. Similarly, if the slope is negative and ADX > threshold, it could signal a potential downtrend.
Multi-Level Color Coding
Original Mode: Interpolated colors reflect uptrends, downtrends, and sideways phases, factoring in metrics like ADX and RSI.
Single Color: For a neutral look, the indicator can be displayed in one uniform color.
HTF RSI: This mode uses the higher-timeframe RSI to color the trendline (Long/Short/Neutral), offering a quick gauge of overarching market pressure.
3. Use Cases and Interpretation
Timeframes & Markets
The indicator is versatile and adapts well to different intervals, from 5-minute charts to weekly views.
It can be applied to various markets—crypto, forex, stocks—since volatility and trend strength are universal concepts.
Signal Recognition
Color Swings into a more pronounced upward hue (e.g., green) may signal mounting strength.
Neutral or mixed tones often point to sideways phases, which breakout traders might watch for potential price surges.
A shift to downward colors (e.g., red) may indicate a growing bearish trend.
Channel Bands & Volatility
When the bands spread widely, it’s wise to proceed with caution: abrupt spikes above the upper band or below the lower band can flag rapid short-term extremes.
These bands are more of a reference for potential overextension than a strict buy or sell trigger.
Additional Confirmations
Not a standalone panacea: The Catalyst Trend indicator is an analytical tool, best used alongside other methods such as volume analysis or price action (candlestick patterns, support/resistance levels) to bolster confidence in trading decisions.
4. Practical Tips
Parameter Adjustments
Depending on the market—crypto vs. traditional currency pairs—different ADX, RSI, or smoothing periods may be more effective. Experiment with the settings to tailor the indicator to your preferred timeframe.
Strategic Integration
Trailing Stops: For those riding a trend, the trendline or the channel bands may serve as a reference to trail stop-loss orders.
Trend Confirmation: Using RSI and ADX filters can help traders avoid sideways markets or stay the course when the trend is strong.
5. Important Final Notes
No Guarantee of Profits
No indicator can predict the future. Markets are inherently volatile and often unpredictable.
Responsible Risk Management
Test the indicator in a demo environment or with smaller positions before committing to large trades.
