Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)

Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)

[ Summary ]

This indicator was designed to solve a common trader's problem: chart clutter from dozens of indicators that often contradict each other. The Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN) is not just another indicator; it's a complete analysis system that synthesizes four essential market pillars into a single, clean, and intuitive visual signal.

The goal of VMN is to identify high-probability moments where a period of accumulation (low volatility) is about to erupt into an explosive move, confirmed by trend, momentum, and volume.

[ How It Works - The 4 Pillars of VMN ]

VMN analyzes the real-time confluence of four critical elements:

The Trend (The Main Filter): A 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sets the overall context. The indicator will only look for buy signals above this line (in an uptrend) and sell signals below it (in a downtrend). The line's color changes for quick visualization.

Volatility (Energy Accumulation): Using Bollinger Bands Width (BBW), the indicator identifies "Squeeze" periods—when the price contracts and builds up energy. These zones are marked with a yellow background on the chart, signaling that a major move is imminent.

Momentum (The Trigger): An RSI (Relative Strength Index) acts as the trigger. A signal is only validated if momentum confirms the direction of the breakout (e.g., RSI > 55 for a buy), ensuring we enter the market with force.

Volume (The Final Confirmation): No breakout move is credible without volume. VMN checks if the volume at the time of the signal is significantly higher than its recent average, adding a vital layer of confirmation.

[ How to Use - Strategy and Signals ]

Green Arrow (Buy Signal): Appears ONLY when ALL the following conditions are met simultaneously:

Price is above the 100 EMA (Bullish Trend).

The chart is exiting a Squeeze zone (yellow background on the previous bar).

Price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band.

RSI is above the buy threshold (default 55).

Volume is above average.

Red Arrow (Sell Signal): Appears ONLY when all the opposite conditions are met.

[ Risk Management is key]

Do not treat signals as blind commands to trade. They are high-probability confirmations.

Look for signals near key Support/Resistance levels for an even higher success rate.

Always set a Stop Loss (e.g., below the low of the signal candle or below the lower Bollinger Band for a buy).

[ Settings ]

All parameters (EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands lengths, thresholds, etc.) can be customized from the settings menu to adapt the indicator to any financial asset or timeframe.
