BD Momentum Channel

22 Mar 2023

Introducing the BD Momentum Channel, a new indicator that helps traders identify market trends and momentum through a combination of upper and lower channels, as well as fast and slow moving averages. The BD Momentum Channel can be used in standalone mode or in combination with other technical analysis tools to enhance trading strategies. We recommend using it in combination with the Wave Master indicator.

To use the indicator, simply input the desired length for the upper and lower channels, as well as the smoothing periods for the fast and slow moving averages or use the provided defaults. The Bull and Bear Levels can be set to the desired values, while the Extreme Bull and Extreme Bear Levels can be used to signal significant market movements.

The BD Momentum Channel works by calculating the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, and then finding the average of these two values, which is used as the basis for the upper and lower channels. The width of the channel is calculated as the difference between the upper and lower channels, while the position of the current price in relation to the upper and lower channels is used to determine the percentage change and which half of the channel the price is in.

The fast and slow moving averages are then calculated using a simple moving average function, and plotted as histograms on the chart. The Bull and Bear Levels are also plotted on the chart as horizontal lines, providing a quick reference for market direction.

The BD Momentum Channel also includes a range of color-coded signals, including extreme bull and bear levels, and cross-under and cross-over signals that can be used to confirm trends and changes in market momentum.

Overall, the BD Momentum Channel is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify market trends and momentum, and can be easily customized to suit individual trading strategies.
