True Momentum OscillatorThe True Momentum Oscillator (TMO) calculates the delta of the price using the open and close. We have taken the true momentum oscillator a step further and have added the momentum of the main signal (TMO) and the smooth signal line. We believe this helps give a clearer picture of price momentum and helps verify crossovers of the TMO and the smooth signal line. The momentum lines can also help confirm a divergence of the TMO. We have also added multiple moving average options so the user can customize the TMO to suit their needs.
TMO- Green when above Smooth Signal Line, red when below Smooth Signal Line
Smooth Signal- Gray Line
Histogram- TMO-Smooth Signal
TMO Momentum- Orange line
Smooth Signal Momentum- Yellow line
Overbought/Oversold regions- Gray highlighted boundaries
The TMO has defined overbought and oversold regions where either a crossover signal or divergence in the oscillator itself can be taken as a signal. Similar to the MACD, a crossover of the zero line by the TMO can also be utilized as a signal.

Volatility Adjusted MomentumIt's a script that computes volatility-adjusted momentum indicators.
The problem with the momentum indicator is that it's absolute and it's hard to interpret its value. For example, if you'll change the timeframe or instrument value of Momentum will be very different.
We tried to solve that by expressing momentum in volatility. This way you can easier spot overbought/oversold values.
You can choose to use Standard Deviation or ATR for adjustments.
Thanks to @MUQWISHI for helping me code it.

Fisherized CCIIntroduction
This here is a non-repainting indicator where I use inverse Fisher transformation and smoothing on the well-known CCI (Commdity Channel Index) momentum indicator.
"The Inverse Fisher Transform" describes the calculation and use of the inverse Fisher transform by Dr . Ehlers in 2004. The transform is applied to any indicator with a known probability distribution function. It enables to transform an indicator signal into the range between +1 and -1. This can help to eliminate the noise of an indicator.
The CCI is an momentum indicator which describes the distance of the price to the average price.
For smoothing I used the Hann Window and NET (Noise Elimination Technique) methods.
Additional Features
Divergence Analysis
Trend-adaptive Histogram
Timeframe selection
Usage
It is usually used to spot potential trend reverals or mean-reversion (against the trend) trades on lower timeframes. IMO it can be even used to spot trend-following trades. It always depends on which settings you have, which timeframe do you use and which indicators you combine with it.
The suggested timeframe for this indicator is 15 min (with the length setting on 50).
The histogram with adaptive mode enabled could be used as filter applied on the buy and sell signals.
The divergence analysis can help to spot additional entries/exits or confirm the buy and sell signals.
Always try to find the best settings! This indicators has a lot of customization options you should take advantage of.
Signals
The indicator uses the following logic to generate the buy and sell signals:
Normal
Buy -> When CCI and MA go above the top band (usually +100) and cross
Sell -> When CCI and MA go below the the bottom band (usually -100) and cross
Fisherized
Buy -> When CCI and MA go above the the zero line and cross
Sell -> When CCI and MA go below the the zero line and cross
Have fun with the indicator! I am open for feedback and questions. :)
Crypto-DX Crypto Directional Index [chhslai]Crypto-DX can be used to help measure the overall strength and direction of the crypto market trend.
Furthermore, it can be used as a screener to find out cryptocurrencies which are accumulating momentum and tends to potentially pump or dump.
How this indicator works :
If the Crypto-DX cross above the zero-level, it could be an indication that there is a trend reversal into upward. You should close your short position or place a long order right away.
If the Crypto-DX cross below the zero-level, it could be an indication that there is a trend reversal into downward. You should close your long position or place a short order right away.
If the Crypto-DX is consolidated around the zero-level, it could be an indication that the trend may be ended and followed by a sideway market. You are suggested not to place any order and wait for the market moves.
Divergence based trading strategy is fully applicable, just like the MACD.

Trend Friendly RSITrend Friendly RSI
Unlike the standard RSI, "Trend Friendly RSI" adapts to the trend. RSI and other momentum-based oscillators cannot give a buy signal in uptrends and a sell signal in downtrends because they do not take into account the momentum of the trend and behave as if the price is in a constant sideways trend. "Trend Friendly RSI", on the other hand, takes into account the momentum of the trend of your chosen length and subtracts it from the current momentum, thus giving more realistic buy and sell signals.
use it to identify your long-term investments and trading entry points for hodl. It would be wise to use this indicator for assets that you have done fundamental analysis and are sure of the trend direction. it doesn't know what the price will do, it just shows the points that are suitable for you.
remember this indicator will fail in horizontal trends.
Multi-timeframe MomentumThe Multi-timeframe momentum indicator is similar in concept to a velocity indicator like rate-of-change, but visualizes smoothed price changes by applying an EMA and linear regression to price difference at every bar. Momentums from 1 minute to 1 quarter are plotted on a single chart using the request.security function. Standard and Fibonacci timeframes are available as well as the ability to hide high-timeframes to keep the chart clean. Like any oscillator, divergence in the momentums can be used to identify price reversals in conjunction with support and resistance. When linear regression is applied, high and low inflection points are used to identify reversals in a manner similar to MACD.
Much love to DumpCap! The script is presented sans secret sauce.
Momentum Scalping & Swing Signals With AlertsThis Momentum indicator shows a green or red ribbon when smoothed momentum is bullish or bearish. It also includes a long moving average for overall trend confirmation. Wait until the ribbon holds above or below the long moving average and take positions in that direction.
To get an easier to read momentum indicator, I smoothed the momentum out and paired it next to a short term RMA. These two together form the ribbon that will show you early reversals and trend direction. The long moving average is used as an overall trend detector and confirmation for longer term trends.
***HOW TO USE***
Scalping: Enter longs when the ribbon turns green and enter shorts when the ribbon turns red. Exit positions when the ribbon turns the opposite color or crosses the long moving average.
Swing Trading: When the ribbon holds above the long moving average or breaks out and retests it, look for long positions and exit when the ribbon turns red or crosses the long moving average. When the ribbon holds below the long moving average or breaks down and retests it, look for short positions and exit when the ribbon turns green or crosses the long moving average.
***DETAILS***
This indicator gives early reversal signals very well and waiting for the momentum ribbon to cross the long moving average helps to get you into positions when the market is ready to really move while filtering out some of the noise.
The ribbon and background will change to green or red depending on whether it is currently bullish or bearish.
There is also a label that changes colors and tells you if momentum is bullish or bearish and also whether the momentum ribbon is above or below the long moving average.
Green or red circles will appear on the indicator when there is a bullish or bearish cross of the momentum ribbon and the long moving average.
It includes alerts that trigger when momentum is turning bullish/bearish or when the momentum ribbon is crossing the long moving average.
***CUSTOMIZATION***
Each piece of this indicator can be customized to suit your preferences including the momentum source, length, smoothing length, short moving average length and long moving average length. You can also turn off the labels, signals and long moving average. All of these settings can be managed within the indicator settings input tab.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This Momentum Scalping & Swing Signals indicator can be used on all timeframes.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are Trend Friend Scalp & Swing Trade Signals, Volume Spike Scanner, Buy & Sell Pressure Volume Profile, and RSI Scalper in combination with this momentum indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Fibonacci Zone Oscillator With MACD HistogramThe columns
After I found a way to calculate a price as a percent of the middle line of the KeltCOG Channel in the KCGmut indicator (published), I got the idea to use the same trick in the Fbonacci Zone Channel (also published), thus creating an oscillator.
I plot the percent’s as columns with the color of the KeltCOG Channel. Because the channels I created and published (i.e. Fibonacci Zone, Donchian Fibonacci Trading Tool, Keltner Fibzones, and KeltCOG) all use Fibonacci zones, this indicator also reports the position of the close in their zones.
Strategy and Use:
Blue column: Close in uptrend area, 4 supports, 0 resistance, ready to rally up.
Green column: Close in buyers area, 3 supports, 1 resistance, looking up.
Gray column: Close in center area 2 supports, 2 resistances, undecided.
Yellow column: Close in sellers area 1 support, 3 resistances, looking down.
Red column: Close in downtrend area, 0 support, 4 resistances, ready to rally down.
I use this indicator in a layout with three timeframes which I use for stock picking, I pick all stocks with a blue column in every timeframe, the indicator is so clear that I can flip through the 50 charts of my universe of high liquid European blue chips in 15 minutes to make a list of these stocks.
Because I use it in conjunction with KeltCOG I also gave it a ‘script sets lookback’ option which can be checked with a feedback label and switched off in the inputs.
The MACD histogram
I admire the MACD because it is spot on when predicting tops and bottoms. It is also the most sexy indictor in TA. Actually just the histogram is needed, so I don’t show the macd-line and the signal line. I use the same lookback for the slow-ma as for the columns, set the fast-ma to half and the signal-line to a third of the general lookback. Therefore I gave the lookback a minimum value of 6, so the signal gets at least a lookback of 2.
The histogram is plotted three times, first as a whitish area to provide a background, then the colums of the Fibzone Oscillator are plotted, then the histogram as a purple line, which contrasts nicely and then as a hardly visible brown histogram.
The input settings give the option to show columns and histogram separate or together.
Strategy and use:
I think about the columns as showing a ‘longer term chosen momentum’ and about the histogram as a ‘short term power momentum’. I use it as additional information.
Enjoy, Eykpunter.
Williams %R - SmoothedFrom TradingView's description:
Williams %R (%R) is a momentum-based oscillator used in technical analysis, primarily to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The %R is based on a comparison between the current close and the highest high for a user defined look back period. %R Oscillates between 0 and -100 (note the negative values) with readings closer to zero indicating more overbought conditions and readings closer to -100 indicating oversold. Typically %R can generate set ups based on overbought and oversold conditions as well overall changes in momentum.
What's special?
This indicator adds two additional EMA lines to the original Williams %R indicator. Default EMA lengths are 5 and 13. The result is 2 smoother average lines, which are easier to read.
This indicator includes:
- signals for EMA crosses. EMA crosses can help indicate confirmed trend changes. Default colors are green and red
- signals for trend reversals on the faster EMA line. Default colors are blue and orange
Alerts available for bullish/bearish crossovers and reversals.
Enjoy~~!
Viral Force IndexBased on the Elder Force Index (EFI) indicator, the Viral Force Index (VFI) attempts to normalize the original indicator by plotting EFI on the interval ]-100, 100 [.
VFI comes with a bar coloring feature, allowing users to get an idea of the current value of the indicator without having to look away from the chart.
Additionally, the linear regression line provides a simple way to filter out the noise with little to no additional 'lag'.

Momentum Percentage %A Percentage Momentum Indicator (oscillator) is a technical indicator which shows the trend direction and measures the pace of the price fluctuation by comparing current and past values. Normalized to be bounded to oscillate between 0 and 100 percent of recent price variation. As is, it average true range of an instrument can be easily compared to any other because of absolute percentage variation and not prices itselves.
The benefits of Percentage Momentum
It indicates volatility
It ideal to compare fluctuation and volatility between other assets
In assets that changes btw a large range of prices like crypto it's the best way to work with momentum.
It's the right way to work with algotrading.
Momentum 2.0 [AstrideUnicorn]Momentum 2.0 is a normalized Momentum oscillator with a moving base-level. The oscillator value is normalized by its standard deviation, similar to the z-score technique. Instead of the zero level, the indicator uses the base-level calculated as the inverted long-term average value of the oscillator. Similar to the zero-level crossing signal used for the Momentum oscillator, our oscillator calculates the base level crossing signal.
The moving base-level helps to reduce the number of false signals. In an uptrend the base-level is below zero, in a downtrend it is above it. This allows us to take into account the trend stability effect. In this case, to form a reversal signal, the oscillator must cross a lower value in an uptrend and a higher value in a downtrend.
HOW TO USE
When the oscillator crosses above the base-level, it gives a bullish signal, when below it gives a bearish signal. The signals are displayed as green and red labels, respectively.
The color of the histogram shows the current direction of the price momentum. Green indicates an upward move and red indicates a downward move. The blue line represents the base-level.
SETTINGS
Oscillator Period - determines the period of the Momentum oscillator
Base Level Period - determines the period used for long-term averaging when calculating the base-level and normalizing the oscillator
Momentum With Bullish & Bearish LabelMOMENTUM WITH BULLISH AND BEARISH SIGNALS
This is a momentum oscillator that paints red or green depending on whether Momentum is above or below the zero line. It includes a label on the right hand side that will reflect the bullish or bearish direction of the current momentum by changing colors to red or green and text telling you Bullish or Bearish.
***HOW TO USE***
When Momentum is above zero, it is bullish. When Momentum is below zero it is bearish.
A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if momentum is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend.
When momentum is above the zero line(Bullish) but trending downward, a second label will show up in purple to notify you of a change in momentum direction.
When momentum is below the zero line(Bearish) but trending upward, a second label will show up in purple to notify you of a change in momentum direction.
This indicator was built to help you quickly identify the Bullish or Bearish nature of the current Momentum using colors as well as a live color changing label so you can glance at the label and understand it's direction without analyzing the indicator data.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This momentum indicator can be used on all timeframes.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Momentum Oscillator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
+ Klinger OscillatorThis is a version of Stephen J. Klinger's, Klinger Oscillator (sometimes called Klinger Volume Oscillator). I've changed virtually nothing about the indicator itself, but added some lookback inputs for the EMAs the oscillator is derived from (traditionally 34 and 55), and added a few other things, as is my wont.
But what is the Klinger Oscillator? Essentially, the calculation looks at the high, low, and close of the current period, and compares that to the previous period's. If it is greater, it adds volume, and if it is less, it subtracts volume. It then takes an EMA of two different lookback periods of that calculation and subtracts one from the other. That's your oscillator. There is then made a signal line of the oscillator that a trader can use, in combination with the zero line, for taking trades. Investopedia has a good article on it, so if you're looking for more specifics, check there.
What I've done is add a selection of different moving averages that you may choose for the signal line. Usually it's a 13 period EMA, and that comes default, but here you could use an ALMA or HMA, or modular filter, etc. Find something that works for your style/algorithm.
Of course there are all the usual additions of mine with the various ways of coloring the indicator and candles, adjustable Donchian Bands, and alerts. A new addition that I've just added to all my indicators (oscillators, anyway) are divergences. This is more or less just a copy and paste of the divergence indicator available in TradingView. In this case you can set it to plot divergences off either the Klinger or the signal line. Depending on which one you choose you may have to adjust pivot lookbacks, and lookback range. I've kept the settings default from the RSI TradingView version.
+ Rate of ChangeNOTE!* If you were using my previous + Rate of Change (and OBV) indicator, I will not be updating that. OBV was moved to my + Breadth & Volume indicator.
This indicator here is basically and updated version of the old indicator, without OBV.
The Rate of Change, or RoC, is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current period and the price n periods ago.
It oscillates above and below a zeroline, basically showing positive or negative momentum.
I applied the OBV's calculation to it, but without the inclusion of volume (also added a lookback period) to see what would happen. I rather liked the result.
I call this the "Cumulative Rate of Change." I only recently realized that this is actually just the OBV without volume, however the OBV does not have a lookback period, and this indicator does.
Doing some more fiddling, I realized that removing both the signum and the volume from the calculation gets you basically a price chart, but calculated as the change in price over n periods. I'm leaving this in because maybe someone discovers they really like having a line chart with moving averages or some other indicator on it to leave their main chart indicator free (giving a more clear look at price action). Can't hurt, right?
Default lookback is set to 1, but play with longer settings (especially if using the traditional RoC, which is by default in TV set to 10, and is nigh on useless at 1--I like 13).
Default source is set to each candle close, but give ohlc4 a look. It smooths out the indicator a bit, and because it's an average of the open, high, low, and close it should give a better idea of what price in general is doing.
Moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Donchian Channels, candle coloring and alerts are my usual additions.
Below are some comparison images of the different indicators wrapped up in here.
Comparison of Cumulative Rate of Change with two different sources. Lookback set to 1.
Cumulative Rate of Change as a price chart, essentially.
And, lastly, the traditional Rate of Change indicator.

+ REX OscillatorSo, what is the REX oscillator, you might be asking yourself.
"The Rex oscillator is an indicator that measures market behavior based on the relationship of the close to the open, high and low values of the same bar. A big difference between the high and close on a bar indicates weakness, and wide disparity between the low and close indicates strength. The difference between open and close also indicates market performance."
The True Value of a Bar (TVB) gives an indication of how healthy the market is. A negative close and a positive TVB (or vice versa) is an indication of the market building strength on the opposing side of the trend. The Rex oscillator is a moving average of the TVB value with the specified period.
I first came across this watching one of many No Nonsense Forex videos. Mostly, from comments I've read, it is used as an exit indicator for people who trade with a system similar or identical to the one VP espouses in his NNFX blog. I think it's perfectly apt to use as an entry indicator as well, or even as both, perhaps, depending on the moving average you chose to apply to the TVB.
There are a few other versions of this on tradingview, but I thought I'd make an updated version. Added Donchian Channels because I like the idea of a dynamic sort of overbought/sold area. I left out the basis because the indicator pivots around a center line, and has a signal line as well. A basis line just seemed like too much, and would likely not be very useful.
The additional usual things that I incorporate into my indicators are included here: optional candle coloring, alerts, and probably a too large selection of moving averages.
Credit to Nemozny for the FRAMA calculation. I may add that to other indicators I have.
Elder's Force Index Color BarBased on the Elder's Force Index (EFI) , +/- of the EFI and its ema is used to describe the rise, fall or possible reversal of the market, and finally shown by bar color.
The green bar represents a strong bull and the red bar represents a strong bear;
The blue bar indicates that the downtrend is exhausted and may rise. Likewise the yellow bar.
Of course, it is difficult to buy the bottom and sell the top at any time. This indicator needs to be judged together with the pattern or other indicators that predict reversals in order to increase the win rate.
Happy Trading.

黄色k线表示上涨力竭，可能会下跌。
当然，任何时候抄底摸顶都是困难的，该指标需要和形态或者其他预测反转的指标一起判断才能增加成功率。
祝交易愉快。

Momentum and AccelerationThe following oscillator is a twist on momentum, incorporating a 2nd derivative "acceleration" to help determine changes in momentum. Both are plotted directly accessing previous series values rather than using a moving average.
The script has an option to divide so the formula is d(Price)/d(Time), like a derivative. The script also provides options for the user to use their price source, volume, or a combination of price and volume.
Credit: This script utilizes the "color gradient framework" tutorial by LucF (PineCoders) to create user-adjustable gradient visuals.
Definitions
"1st Derivative - Momentum" - Momentum is most commonly referred to as a rate and measures the acceleration of the price and/or volume of a security.
"2nd Derivative - Acceleration" - Acceleration is the rate of change of momentum.
Value Added
This script may help the trader to assess directional changes in momentum easier.
This script also plots using previous series values rather than using a moving average function. To my knowledge, I was unable to find one that does this for "2nd derivative", so it had to be created.
Percent Rank (ValueRay)The Percent Rank is naturally quite choppy. I therefor placed an EMA(3) over it and make the origin Percent Rank only slightly visible. I also add some boundaries.
Note that the EMA of the Percent Rank looks quite similiar to the Connors RSI.
Use it as the RSI.
+ WaveTrend OscillatorI'm guessing most of you are familir with LazyBear's adaptation of the Wavetrend Oscillator; it's one of the most popular indicators on TradingView. I know others have done adaptations of it, but I thought I might as well, because that's kind of a thing I like doing.
In this version I've added a second Wavetrend plot. This is a thing I like to do. The longer plot gives you a longer timeframe momentum bias, and the shorter plot gives you entries and/or exits. Here we have one plot with a lookback period of 55, and another with the default set to 6 (change this to 14 if you think you might prefer something slower and that will plot similarly to the default RSI settings). With the traditional Wavetrend Oscillator there is a simple moving average on the WTO that is to help provide entries and exits. I've done away with this as there are already two plots, and I felt more would just clutter the indicator. Instead of plotting the SMA I've plotted the crosses along the bottom and top of the indicator. Also, as is not the case in LazyBear's version, this SMA length is adjustable. By default it is set to 3, which is the default setting on the original indicator.
I've also plotted background colors for when there is what I call a momentum shift. If one or the other oscillators crosses the centerline a colored bar is plotted. By default it is turned on for both WTOs, though in practice you might only want it on for the longer one.
I would say use of the indicator is similar to the original WTO or many other oscillators. Buying oversold and selling overbought, but being mindful of the momentum of the market. If the longer WTO is above the centerline it's best to be looking for dips to the centerline, or for an overbought signal by the faster WTO, and vice versa if the longer WTO is below the centerline. That said, you can also adjust the length of the SMA on the faster WTO to fine tune entries or exits, which is kind of how you would trade LazyBear's version. In this case you have that additional confirmation of market momentum.
You can set colored candles to either of the WTO plots via a dropdown menu.
There are alerts for overbought and oversold situations, centerline crosses, and Wavetrend crosses.
That's about it. Hope you enjoy this particular implementation of LazyBear's well known indicator.
Ah yes, last thing: Original version the source is set to hlc3. I've given you the opportunity to change that, so if you prefer using close you can, or whatever you want.
+ JMA KDJ with RSI OB/OS SignalsSo, what is the KDJ indicator? If you're familiar with the Stochastic, then you'll know that the two oscillating lines are called the 'K' and 'D' lines. Now you know that this is some sort of implementation of the Stochastic. But, then, what is the J? The 'J' is simply the measure of convergence/divergence of the 'K' and 'D' lines, and the 'J' crossing the 'K' and 'D' lines is representational of the 'K' and 'D' lines themselves crossing. Is this an improvement over simply using the Stochastic as it is? Beats me. I don't use the Stochastic. I stumbled upon the KDJ while surfing around the web, and it sounded cool, so I thought I'd look at it. I do like it a bit more as the 'J' line being far overextended from the other two (usually into overbought/sold territory) does give a clear visual representation of the divergence of the 'K' and 'D' lines, which you might not notice otherwise. So, from that perspective I suppose it is nicer.
But let's get to the good stuff now, shall we? What did I do here?
Well, first thing you're wondering is why there are only two lines when based on my explanation (or your previous experience with the indicator) there should be three. I found this script here on TV, by x4random, who took the 'K' and 'D' lines and made an average of them, so there is only one line instead of the two. So, fewer lines on the indicator, but still the same usefulness. It was in older TV code, so I took it to version4 and cleaned up the code slightly. His indicator included the RSI ob/os plots, and I thought this was neat (even though the RSI being os/ob doesn't tell you much except that the trend is strong, and you should be buying pullback or selling rallies) so I kept them in. His indicator was also the most visually appealing one that I saw on here, so that attracted me too. Credit to x4random for the indicator, though.
Aside from code cleanup and adding the usual bells and whistles (which I will get to) the big thing I did here was change is RMA that he was using for the 'K' and 'D' lines to a Jurik MA's, which smooth a lot of the noise of other moving averages while maintaining responsiveness. This eliminates noise (false signals) while keeping the signals of significance. It took me a while to figure out how to substitute the JMA for the RMA, but thanks to QuantTherapy's "Jurik PPO" indicator I was able to nail down the implementation. One thing you might notice is that there is no input to change signal length. I fiddled with this for a time before sticking to using the period, instead of the signal (thus eliminating the use of the signal input altogether), length to generate the 'K' and 'D' calculations. To make any adjustments other than the period length use the Jurik Power input. You can use the phase input as well, but it has much less of an effect.
Everything else I changed is pretty much cosmetic.
Candle coloring with the option to color candles based on either the 'J' line or the 'KD' line.
color.from_gradients with color inputs to make it beautiful (this is probably my best looking indicator, imo)
plots for when crosses occur (really wish there was a way to plot these over candlesticks! If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to see!)
I think that's about it. Alerts of course.
Enjoy!
Below is a comparison chart of my JMA implementation to the original RMA script.
You can see how much smoother the JMA version is. Both of these had the default period of 55 set, and the JMA version is using the default settings, while the original version is using a length of 3 for the signal line.
Ocean Indicator [CC]The Ocean Indicator was created by Jim Sloman (Ocean Theory pgs 39-47). Sadly he passed away a few years ago so it is extremely hard to find his code or more information about his trading system other than through his books so I did my best to replicate all of his work and I will be publishing his indicators over the next few weeks. Big thanks to @altcoinz for giving me all of the information I needed to replicate his work. Since this is his basic foundation for everything else he has done, I will be publishing it first. I had to change things a bit to provide clear buy and sell signals so let me know your thoughts.
This is essentially his version of a momentum indicator and the basics of it are to buy when momentum is increasing and sell when it is decreasing. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones and darker colors are for strong signals and lighter colors are for normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
