MA MomentumThis simple script takes two ma's sums them and takes the the difference between the current and previous data points. This gives a lovely smoothed momentum indicator. The way it works is if its green its good and if its red its bad. In other words, I take the smooth signal as a filter for the momentum. You can also spot divergences between the indicator and the price to make decisions. Some features include extra smoothing and adjustable ma's. I hope you find this script useful!
Thank you.

MACD Potential Divergence - FontiramisuIndicator showing potential momentum divergences on MACD Momentum.
The problem with the classic divergence is that when the signal appears, it is sometimes too late to enter a trade .
The potential divergence corrects this problem by signaling the beginning of a potential divergence .
MACD is a momentum indicator that offers relevant insights with divergences.
Potential divergences are indicated with the letter B and a red color for Bearish Div or Green color for Bullish Div .
Potential divergence is confirmed when the line and the label "Bear"' or "Bull" appear.
Ehlers AutoCorrelation Indicator [CC]The AutoCorrelation Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics pgs 94-98) and this can be viewed as both a momentum indicator and a trend indicator. This was his basis for several other indicators that he created which I will be publishing soon but essentially as this indicator goes up then the stock is in an uptrend and also has upward momentum. You will notice that this indicator starts to go down even during an uptrend showing that the underlying trend is going to have an upcoming reversal. He also warns that the halfway mark is a possible reversal point so keep an eye out for that.
Generally speaking a good signal is to enter a long position when the indicator is under the midline and is starting to go up (or when the line is green) and to exit the position when the indicator goes over the midline. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors mean normal signals.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like me to publish!
Electrified Momentum Signal (Prototype)This indicator uses an ensemble of different indicators to help in identifying significant changes in momentum.
It's time-frame is constant and is based up on the length of the configurable period. This allows for a consistent signal across multiple time-frames.
This is not a buy or sell signal but can be used for alerts to indicate a change in momentum that might be worth paying attention to.
If looking for an long entry point, a negative (red) value can signal "don't buy yet" or may simple mean "it's risky". In a similar way if looking for a short, a positive (green) value can signal "not now".
Note: "Electrified" does not mean this has anything to do with electric vehicles or the power grid. :P
Simple Momentum Strategy Based on SMA, EMA and VolumeA simple, non short selling (long positions only, i.e. buy low and sell high) strategy. Strategy makes use of simple SMA, EMA and Volume indicators to attempt to enter the market at the most optimum time (i.e. when momentum and price are moving upwards). Optimum time is defined mainly by picking best timing for price moves higher based on upwards momentum.
This script is targeted / meant for an average/typical trader or investor. This is why a non short selling approach was selected for optimisation for this strategy because "typpical", "average" traders and investors usually use basic (i.e. minimum fees / free membership) exchanges that would not usually offer short selling functionality (at least without additional fees). The assumption used here is that only advanced and sophisticated traders and investors would pay for advanced trading platforms that enable short selling, have a risk appetite for short selling and thus use short selling as a strategy.
The results of the strategy are:
In an overall roughly bearish market (backward testing from beginning to end of 2018) i.e. the market immediately following the highs of around 20k USD per BTC, this strategy made a loss of £3231 USD on trades of a maximum of 1 BTC per long position.
But in an overall bullish market, it makes a profit of about $6800 USD from beginning of 2019 onwards by trading a maximum of 1 BTC per long position.
NOTE: All trading involves high risk. Most strategies use past performance and behaviour as indicators of future performance and that is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations too. One limitation is that unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading and since the trades have not actually been executed, the results of those trades themselves do not have any influence on actual market results, which in real life they would have had (no matter how minor). Additionally, simulated results may have under or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also, by their nature, designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Ultimate Momentum IndicatorThis is an indicator I've been playing with for a while, based on my previous MACD w/ RSI Warning indicator. This one takes it a step further, including information from MACD, RSI, ADX, and Parabolic SAR. These four indicators are represented in this indicator as follows:
MACD: The histogram itself is a normal MACD histogram. Nothing strange about it, and you can adjust the settings for it just as you would a normal MACD.
RSI: Any time the RSI is outside of normal ranges (which can be adjusted in the settings), the bar on the histogram will turn amber to warn you. The actual RSI value is also shown in a label to the left side of the indicator.
ADX: Crosses are drawn along the 0 line to indicate ADX. Blue means the ADX is below the trending level (adjustable in the settings), and orange means it is above that level. Darker colors indicate the ADX has gone up since the previous bar, while lighter colors indicate it has gone down. The actual ADX value is also shown in the label to the left side of the indicator.
Parabolic SAR: At the outside point of each bar in the histogram, a colored dot is drawn. If the dot is green, the Parabolic SAR (settings adjustable) is currently below the closing price. If the dot is red, the SAR is above the closing price.
I must stress that this indicator is not a replacement for any one of the indicators it includes, as it's really only pulling small bits of information from each. The point of this indicator is to give a cohesive picture of momentum at a quick glance. I encourage you to continue to use the normal versions of whichever of the basic indicators you already use, especially if those indicators are a key part of your strategy. This indicator is designed purely as a way to get a bird's eye view of the momentum.
Pretty much every normally adjustable value can be adjusted in the settings for each of the base indicators. You can also set:
The RSI warning levels (30 and 70 by default)
The ADX Crossover, i.e. the point at which you consider the ADX value to indicate a strong trend (25 by default)
The offset for the label which shows the actual RSI & ADX values (109 by default, which happens to line up with my chart layout--yours will almost certainly need to be different to look clean)
All of the colors, naturally
As always, I am open to suggestions on how I might make the indicator look cleaner, or even other indicators I might try to include in the data this indicator produces. My choice of indicators to base this one from is entirely based on the ones I use and know, but I'm sure there are other great indicators that may improve this combination indicator even more!
PivotPoints with Momentum confirmation by PeterOWho wouldn't like to be able to tell when the market actually reverses instead of just faking it? Every trader who has tried pivothigh/pivotlow functions for that, surely bumped into so many meaningless reversal signals, that probably got discouraged with this concept entirely.
Yet, pivot points are very important. Only they need to be confirmed at least a little bit (you'll never know for sure, you understand that right?)
This script enhances pivot-points mechanism with by confirming potential pivot point with actual reversal in momentum. If momentum reversal is also noticed in synch with the pivothigh/pivotlow, then you've got yourself a reversal - marked on the chart with red or green triangle. You can visually compare where those triangles are marked as compared to those small black ones, meaning the standard pivothigh(high,1,1)/pivotlow(low,1,1). Check yourself how many times this method would save us from pre-mature entry. On average 2/3 pivot points are filtered out.
This is a non-delayed confirmation - there is no waiting for another candle to close, just looking to another indicator for a match.Trader needs to take a decision immediately because if he hesitates, he will be late for sure. Also sometimes this script produces signal even before a full pivot-point is formed, as pin-bar analysis is also included here.
What this script IS NOT:
- a complete trading map. Don't take trade on each green or red triangle. You still need to do your homework on market direction, trend, phase, wave, etc. But at least you have the "trigger" part done.
- these pivot points are still not "guaranteed". You never know the future even as close as the very next candle, so the market can continue its trend right after it produces reversal signal. The aim of this indicator was only to filter out those potential pivot points, which didn't really look like reversals.
If you think this method could be improved somehow or would like to share your thoughts or approach, don't hesitate to reach out to me or write down in comments.
P.S. Credit goes to UCSGEARS for his Top&Bottom candle script. Amazing work. I used the momentum calculation from there.
Indicator Panel MTF (MACD, RSI, Momentum, Stoch, CCI)This script shows the values of MACD, RSI, Momentum, Stoch, CCI for current and higher time frames in a panel. if higher time frame is equal or smaller than current time frame and it doesn't show the values for HTF.
And also it shows if their values are increasing, decreasing or equal to last value with "▲", "▼", "="
The signal length for all indicators is 9 and used EMA.
histogram value is indicator value - it's signal value. with this value you can see that indicator and its signal getting closer or not. you may think it's as momentum.
Some functions and idea is used from following scripts:
Thanks to Lucf for the following script:
Thanks to Ricardo Santos for the following script:
MTF CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator)Simple Multi-Timeframe version of the Chande Momentum Oscillator . Many thanks to HPotter whos script I used as a starting point. This displays 1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 period CMOs on the graph. 1, 2, 3, and 4 periods are smoothed by using their simple moving averages. 24 period is unsmoothed. I prefer to set my chart to a 1 hour timeframe and look for bottoming or topping patterns in the momentum. Strongest topping or bottoming patterns are when all timeframes roll over including the 24 period.
All4 - Multi-Period Momentum [LucF]All4 is a multi-period momentum indicator that includes a volume component. It doesn't use higher timeframes, but rather varying lengths. It is a simple way to get a more global picture of momentum.
It is calculated using a very simple weighted average of a few different indicators. The indicator is comprised of the main line called All4, its MA and a faster line.
The All4 components are the Stoch RSI’s K line, Rsi and MFI (to include a bit of volume information) in the following mix: (St14 + St21 + 2*St42 + 2*St90 + rsi + 2*mfi)/9. The respective K line periods and smoothing lengths are 14-4, 21-10, 42-10 and 90-15. Both the Rsi and MFI periods are 14. All those values are fixed.
The fast line is comprised of a 14 period Rsi and MFI in the following mix: (rsi + 2*mfi)/3. The length of the fast line can be changed.
The indicator also includes 4 status lines. The top 2 show when All4 is volatile and when it is trending. The bottom 2 show when All4 is in bearish/bullish territory, and the state of the 200 period MA.
There are lots of bells and whistles but pretty much everything is configurable, so you can make it as busy or as clean as you wish. I have included both extremes on the chart above.
As can be expected, the mishmash of indicators comprising All4 entails a loss of detail in the signal; it is the trade-off necessary to paint a broader picture.
Bitcoin momentum correlation This is a pretty simple indicator, it measures the momentum of bitcoin as compared to usd,eur,eth,dash, and ltc, which you can see in all of the blue lines. If the red line is above zero then it means the overall value of btc is going up, opposite for down. The Ema_window controls how smooth the signal is. If you shorten the Ema_window parameter and open this on higher timeframe btc charts then the zero crossing gives pretty solid signals, despite being pretty choppy. A good way to interpret this is that if all the blue lines are moving in the same direction at once without disagreement, then the value of bitcoin has good momentum.
Mildly more technically:
Momentum is measured in the first derivative of an EMA for each ticker. To normalize the different values against each other they are all divided by their local maximums, which can be chosen in the parameter window, but shouldn't make a huge difference. All the checked values are then summed, as shown in the red line. To include a value into the red line simply keep it checked. Take a look at the script, it's kind of easy on the eyes.
It's pretty handy to look at, but doesn't seem too worthwhile to pursue much further. If someone wants much more out of the script then feel free to message me.
Remember rules #1 & #2
Don't lose money.
Happy trading
MaxWarren's Pine Acceleration - 2nd DerivativeThis is the acceleration of a chart written in pine. It's the second derivative otherwise the derivative of the momentum.
It shows how fast a stock's momentum is changing and in what direction.
As standard I left the controls in the settings for source and length of the estimate.
I will be incorporating this in other more complicated scripts here shortly

RAT Momentum Squeeze BETAV1.0
MAs are a great tool to measure the market's momentum. I created this indicator to graphically depict bullish and banishment movements with the moving averages.
Using the 50, 100, & 200 day MA in conjunction with the RSI we are able to find great swing setups. This is used best on the 30min & up to the daily chart.
SMI Stochastic Momentum Index 2x set per Baiynd -Tom1traderStochastic Momemtum Index - a true strength indix tsi with a moving average signal.
This uses the built in with modifications per Anne-Marie Baiynds recommendations - she uses a SIMPLE MOVING AVERAGE
for the signal (signal length at 4x the short length seems to work best to reflect actual price action support or resistance)
Note: Default settings in this code have been updated to her most recent recommendations that I have seen.
video is entitled "The Most Reliable Technical Indicator I Have Ever Used"
Note: I have not discussed this with Ms . Baiynd this is my interpretation of the vids I have seen.
Anne-Marie Baiynd also in talks / videos refers to the use of short / long of 4/20 and 6/40 and have combined both of them here
This overlays both of them with their respective SMAs- a 4/20 lengths and a 6/40 lengths in darker colors and smallest linewidth.
this gives a perspective on slightly higher time frame action.
USAGE: Generally above and below the black dashed zero line is long or short
KEYS: -Plot position relative to zero black, red overbought, green oversold and the gray lines at .25 -.25
Indicator action often more significant out side of the more "neutral" +.25/-.25 area
and near or above/below the red/green dashed lines.
-Steepness of slopes
Slopes of smi plots relate directly to price action where steeper is more momentum.
- -SMI blue relation to its simple moving average orange and the SMI longer dark blue with moving average purple.
MAJOR FEATURE - The average acts as support or resistance to the SMI and the price unless breaking out.
Price is often pausing or reversing iin finding primary/secondary support or resistance as well at those times.
You Can See and anticipate Where Support or Resistance may be Encountered. (much unlike most indicators)
My standard caveat -use at your own risk. Like anyone else I do not know what the next bar/candle is going to do
and I place all of my trades with a management plan in place for the worst case scenario.
That said enjoy your charting and trading.
This was coded starting with the built-in indicator "SMI Ergontic Oscilator / Indicator". You do this by within the Pine Editor select "New" tab and
choose the indicator that you want the code for. This populates the editor with the code for the built in indicator and you can modify it to suit your
purposes and save it / publish it and etc. Thanks for following this and Keep Smiling!
SMA slopeSlope function for SMA in degrees. This slope function you can use or modify for your own strategies. Feel free to change source to calculate the slope of another indicator. In this case you can see that the indicator is above the zero line indicating a positive momentum.

Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score (VAMS) [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score (VAMS) measures price momentum relative to current volatility conditions, creating a normalized indicator that identifies significant directional moves while filtering out market noise. It divides annualized momentum by annualized volatility to produce scores that remain comparable across different market environments and asset classes.
The indicator displays a smoothed VAMS Z-Score line with adaptive standard deviation bands and an information table showing real-time metrics. This dual-purpose design enables traders and investors to identify strong trend continuation signals when momentum persistently exceeds normal levels, while also spotting potential mean reversion opportunities when readings reach statistical extremes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator calculates annualized momentum using a simple moving average of logarithmic returns over a specified period, then measures annualized volatility through the standard deviation of those same returns over a longer timeframe. The raw VAMS score divides momentum by volatility, creating a risk-adjusted measure where high volatility reduces scores and low volatility amplifies them.
This raw VAMS value undergoes Z-Score normalization using rolling statistical parameters, converting absolute readings into standardized deviations that show how current conditions compare to recent history. The normalized Z-Score receives exponential moving average smoothing to create the final VAMS line, reducing false signals while preserving sensitivity to meaningful momentum changes.
The visualization includes dynamically calculated standard deviation bands that adjust to recent VAMS behavior, creating statistical reference zones. The information table provides real-time numerical values for VAMS Z-Score, underlying momentum percentages, and current volatility readings with trend indicators.
🟢 How to Use
1. VAMS Z-Score Bands and Signal Interpretation
Above Mean Line: Momentum exceeds historical averages adjusted for volatility, indicating bullish conditions suitable for trend following
Below Mean Line: Momentum falls below statistical norms, suggesting bearish conditions or downward pressure
Mean Line Crossovers: Primary transition signals between bullish and bearish momentum regimes
1 Standard Deviation Breaks: Strong momentum conditions indicating statistically significant directional moves worth following
2 Standard Deviation Extremes: Rare momentum readings that often signal either powerful breakouts or exhaustion points
2. Information Table and Market Context
Z-Score Values: Current VAMS reading displayed in standard deviations (σ), showing how far momentum deviates from its statistical norm
Momentum Percentage: Underlying annualized momentum displayed as percentage return, quantifying the directional strength
Volatility Context: Current annualized volatility levels help interpret whether VAMS readings occur in high or low volatility environments
Trend Indicators: Directional arrows and change values provide immediate feedback on momentum shifts and market transitions
3. Strategy Applications and Alert System
Trend Following: Use sustained readings beyond the mean line and 1σ band penetrations for directional trades, especially when VAMS maintains position in upper or lower statistical zones
Mean Reversion: Focus on 2σ extreme readings for contrarian opportunities, particularly effective in sideways markets where momentum tends to revert to statistical norms
Alert Notifications: Built-in alerts for mean crossovers (regime changes), 1σ breaks (strong signals), and 2σ touches (extreme conditions) help monitor multiple instruments for both continuation and reversal setups
Golden Crossover Momentum Check📊 Golden Cross Momentum Screener — Summary
🔍 What It Does
This indicator identifies Golden Cross events — where the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, signaling a potential long-term trend reversal — and evaluates the momentum strength to help determine whether price is likely to:
Surge immediately (Group B), or
Retrace first (Group A)
It uses 5 momentum-confirming conditions to score the quality of the breakout and display a single label on the chart with a classification.
✅ Momentum Conditions Validated
RSI > 60 and rising – Indicates bullish buying pressure
MACD Histogram > 0 and rising – Confirms increasing momentum
Volume > 2× 20-day average – Validates participation on the breakout
ADX > 25 – Measures trend strength
Price is >5% above 200 EMA – Confirms price extension above long-term trend
Each passing condition adds 1 point to the momentum score (0–5).
📈 How to Use
Watch for a Golden Cross signal (triangle appears below candle)
If momentum score ≥ 4, the script labels the setup as:
"🚀 Surge Likely (Group B)" — consider immediate breakout entries
If score is 2–3, labeled:
"🔄 Pullback Likely (Group A)" — expect retest/consolidation before continuation
If score < 2, labeled:
"❌ No Momentum Confirmed" — avoid or wait for confirmation

Chaikin Momentum Scalper🎯 Overview
The Chaikin Momentum Scalper is a powerful trading strategy designed to identify momentum shifts in the market and ride the trend for maximum profits. This strategy is ideal for trading the USD/JPY currency pair on a 15-minute chart, making it perfect for high-frequency trading (HFT). Whether you’re starting with a small account of $1,000 or managing a larger portfolio, this strategy can scale to suit your needs.
________________________________________
🔑 How the Strategy Works
Here’s how the Chaikin Momentum Scalper identifies trade opportunities:
1️⃣ Momentum Detection
The core of this strategy is the Chaikin Oscillator, a tool that measures the flow of money into or out of a market. It helps us understand whether buyers (bulls) or sellers (bears) are in control.
• When the indicator crosses above zero, it signals that buying momentum is picking up – a buying opportunity.
• When the indicator crosses below zero, it signals that selling momentum is increasing – a selling opportunity.
2️⃣ Trend Confirmation
We don’t just jump into trades based on momentum alone. We also use a 200-period simple moving average (SMA) to confirm the overall trend.
• If the price is above the SMA, it confirms an uptrend, so we look for buy trades.
• If the price is below the SMA, it confirms a downtrend, so we look for sell trades.
This way, we align our trades with the broader market direction for higher success rates.
3️⃣ Volatility & Risk Management
We use a tool called the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. This helps us:
• Set a stop-loss (where we’ll exit the trade if the market moves against us) at a safe distance from our entry point.
• Set a take-profit (where we’ll lock in profits) at a target that’s larger than the stop-loss, ensuring a good reward-to-risk ratio.
This approach adapts to the market’s behavior, tightening stops in calmer conditions and widening them when volatility increases.
________________________________________
📈 Why This Strategy Works
