Vaidotas Momentum ScoreHello Traders!
Discover Myfractalrange latest addition on TradingView, Vaidotas Segenis Momentum Score.
How people calculate Momentum is subjective and many people (even professionals) use different Momentum formulas depending on how they view it. This is sometimes confusing for traders.
The purpose of this indicator is to identify periods of strong price momentum relative to historical volatility. Higher momentum scores indicate stronger price trends, while lower scores suggest weaker trends. Traders and investors may use this indicator to identify potential buy or sell signals based on the strength of price movements. The formula Vaidotas uses calculate Momentum Score for different periods based on the price data.
There are 3 different look back periods in the script, you will find them in "Input":
Period 1 : 10 Days
Period 2 : 30 Days
Period 3 : 90 Days
Now let's go over the different steps of the formula:
Step 1 - Calculate the daily normal returns : this gives the daily percentage change in price
Step 2 - Calculate the standard deviation of the daily normal returns over a specific look back period (Default: 100 days) : the standard deviation measures the volatility or dispersion of the returns
Step 4 - Calculate the squared standard deviation multiplied by the square root of the respective period: This is done for three different periods (Period 1, Period 2, Period 3), it amplifies the standard deviation by the square root of the period, which gives more weight to recent price changes.
Step 5 - Calculate the normal returns for each period: This calculates the percentage change in price over the specified period
Step 5 - Calculate the momentum score for each period: This score represents the relative strength or momentum of the price change compared to the expected volatility.
Using the momentum indicator involves interpreting the values and considering certain thresholds to make trading decisions. While there is no definitive rule for all markets and assets, we can provide you with a general guideline on how traders may want to use the indicator and explain the significance of certain values:
1) Strong Trend: When the momentum score is significantly positive (above a certain threshold, such as +2), it suggests a strong upward price trend.
2) Weak Trend: Conversely, when the momentum score is significantly negative (below a certain threshold, such as -2), it indicates a strong downward price trend. Traders may interpret this as a potential signal to enter or maintain a short position, expecting the trend to continue.
3) Lack of Trend: When the momentum score is close to zero, it suggests a lack of significant trend or sideways movement in the price. Values around 0 indicate a potential range-bound market or consolidation.
However, it's important to note that the specific threshold values for defining significant trends or reversals may vary depending on the asset, timeframe, and market conditions. Traders often adjust these thresholds based on their own experience and backtesting results.
Here are a few more examples to illustrate the use of the momentum indicator:
- Example 1 - Strong Uptrend Confirmation :
The momentum score is consistently above +2, indicating a strong upward trend. Traders may consider this as a potential signal to enter or maintain a long position, expecting the trend to continue.
- Example 2 - Reversal Signal :
The momentum score has been positive for an extended period but starts to decline and eventually crosses below -2. This could be seen as a potential reversal signal, suggesting that the uptrend is losing strength and a bearish trend might develop. Traders may consider exiting long positions or even taking short positions based on this reversal signal.
- Example 3 - Sideways Market :
The momentum score fluctuates around 0, without displaying any significant positive or negative values. This indicates a lack of clear trend and suggests that the asset is trading in a range or consolidating. Traders may choose to avoid taking new positions until a stronger trend emerges.
Why is it interesting to use different look back periods?
The use of different look back periods in the momentum indicator formula allows traders to assess momentum across multiple timeframes. By comparing the momentum results for each period, traders can gain a broader perspective on the strength of the trend and potential opportunities. Here's how a trader might use the different look back periods and their corresponding momentum results:
1) Identifying Consistency: Traders can compare the momentum results for different periods to assess the consistency of the trend. If the momentum scores for all periods are consistently positive or negative, it suggests a strong and consistent trend across multiple timeframes. This can provide traders with higher confidence in the trend's strength and potential trading opportunities.
2) Convergence or Divergence: Traders can analyze the relationship between the momentum results for different periods. If the momentum scores for all periods are converging (moving closer together), it indicates a higher degree of agreement across different timeframes and strengthens the signal. Conversely, if the momentum scores for different periods diverge (move apart), it may suggest a weakening or conflicting trend. Traders should exercise caution when the momentum scores diverge as it may signal a potential reversal or market uncertainty.
3) Confirmation of Momentum: Traders can use the momentum results for different periods to confirm the strength of a trend. For example, if the momentum scores for shorter periods (e.g., Period 1) are significantly higher than those for longer periods (e.g., Period 2 and Period 3), it suggests a recent increase in momentum and a potentially stronger trend. This confirmation can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions and timing their entries or exits.
4) Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Traders often employ a multiple timeframe analysis approach to validate their trading decisions. By comparing the momentum results for different periods, traders can assess the alignment of momentum across various timeframes. For instance, if the momentum scores for shorter, medium, and longer periods all indicate a strong trend in the same direction, it reinforces the conviction in the trade.
As a conclusion, the momentum indicator can be useful to traders for several reasons:
1) Identifying Trend Strength: The momentum indicator helps traders assess the strength of a price trend. When the momentum score is high, it suggests that the trend is strong and likely to continue. This information can be valuable for trend-following strategies, as it helps traders identify potentially profitable opportunities and stay on the right side of the market.
2) Spotting Reversals: Momentum indicators can also help traders identify potential trend reversals. When the momentum score diverges from the price movement, it may indicate a weakening trend or an upcoming reversal. Traders can use this signal to adjust their positions or look for opportunities to enter or exit trades.
3) Confirming Breakouts: Breakout traders often use momentum indicators to confirm the validity of a breakout. If a price breaks above a resistance level, and the momentum score also increases significantly, it provides additional confirmation that the breakout is strong and may continue. This helps traders have more confidence in their breakout trades.
4) Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: By understanding the strength of a price trend through the momentum indicator, traders can set appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels. A strong momentum score may indicate that a trend is likely to continue, allowing traders to set wider profit targets. Conversely, a weak momentum score may suggest that the trend is losing steam, prompting traders to set tighter stop-loss levels to protect their capital.
4) Divergence Analysis: Momentum indicators can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to identify divergences. Divergence occurs when the price and momentum indicator move in opposite directions. It can signal potential trend reversals or shifts in market sentiment, providing traders with opportunities to adjust their positions.
It's important to note that while momentum indicators can be useful tools, they should not be relied upon solely for making trading decisions. It's recommended to use them in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and consider other factors such as market conditions, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Remember that the momentum indicator is just one tool among many, and it's important to consider other factors such as volume, trend, volatility, and overall market conditions when making trading decisions. Additionally, using stop-loss orders and proper risk management techniques is crucial to mitigate potential losses.

Probability Oscillator (Expo)█ Overview
The Probability Oscillator uses a Bayesian approach to measure the probability of a price movement and trend continuation. This approach considers the prior probability of a price movement and the current market conditions to identify trends, sentiment, momentum, and retracements.
█ How does the indicator work?
The Probability Oscillator is based on the idea of Bayesian probability , which is a way of using existing data to make predictions about the likelihood of an event occurring. This indicator uses the Bayesian probability model to analyze past trading activity and calculate the probability of a trend continuing. This function also considers the prior probability of a price movement and the current market conditions to analyze the likelihood of a retracement.
█ How to use
Investors can use this indicator to measure the market sentiment and the strength/direction of a trend. It does also give insights into momentum moves and retracements.
█ Indicator Customization
The user can change the trend approaches and input source as well as adjust the overbought and oversold areas to make the calculation more sensitive to retracements.
The user can change the sensitivity of the momentum function to adjust it only to identify the most significant momentum moves.

Triple Stochastic Momentum Index(TSMI)This script is a stochastic momentum index (SMI) indicator that is designed to view the flow of three stochastic momentums at once.
You can easily see the change in momentum by applying the values used in the triple stochastic form to the basic SMI usage.
이 스크립트는 3가지 stochastic momentum의 흐름을 한번에 볼 수 있도록 만들어진 SMI(stochastic momentum index)지표 입니다.
기본적인 SMI의 사용방식을 triple stochastic형식에서 사용되는 수치를 적용하여 쉽게 모멘텀의 변화를 확인 할 수 있습니다.
Price Percent OscillatorThe Percentage Price Oscillator(PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. Similar to the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence(MACD), the PPO is comprised of a signal line, a histogram and a centerline. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, centerline crossovers, and divergences. Because these signals are no different than those associated with MACD, this indicator can be read exactly as the MACD is read. The main differences between the PPO and MACD are: 1) PPO readings are not subject to the price level of the security. 2) PPO readings for different securities can be compared, even when there are large differences in the price. MACD readings for different securities cannot be compared when there are large differences in price.
Calculations:
Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO): {(12-day EMA - 26-day EMA)/26-day EMA} x 100
Signal Line: 9-day EMA of PPO
PPO Histogram: PPO - Signal Line
This PPO indicator retains standard PPO settings. Additions to this indicator are: 1) filling the space between the PPO LINE and SIGNAL LINE. Space is green when PPO is above SIGNAL, purple when PPO is below SIGNAL. The color of the space between PPO and SIGNAL is used to define short-term momentum for price(green is positive momentum, pink is negative momentum). 2) filling the space between the PPO LINE and CENTER LINE(0 LEVEL). This space is filled green when the PPO is above the CENTER LINE and pink when the PPO is below the CENTER LINE. Green in this area indicates positive momentum in the intermediate-term while pink indicates negative momentum in the intermediate-term.

VelocityI was wondering how Jurik's Velocity works and after some time I created a little bit different Velocity.
What is this?
Everybody heard about the momentum indicator. The classic momentum shows the difference between the current price and the price N periods ago. How far in the past the comparison is made is up to the trader.
When the indicator reaches extremely high (low) values and then turns in the opposite direction it can be considered a sell (buy) signal. Sometimes it is better than waiting for the 0-line crossovers. Another way is to use the indicator to find out divergences with the price.
What's wrong with it?
The classical momentum indicator produces many misleading values and false signals due to its jagged nature. To remove noise and smooth out its line users apply the different moving averages. No matter how cool is your average - you always add a lag. And the lag will seriously decrease the performance of the momentum indicator.
All of this can be avoided using a special smoothing technique.
Settings
Period (default: 30 )
Price Source (default: hlc3 )
Peaks Highlighting (default: false )
Velocity with peaks highlighting
NOTE : This is not Bullish/Bearish Phases . Phases is a pure volume-based indicator and doesn't use the price to measure the dominance.
I attached some screenshots to show you how it works with other instruments so, you can compare it with Jurik' Velocity.
Good luck!
Compare - Oscillator vs BTC momentumI've made a simple indicator to compare the momentum of a trading pair against the momentum of BTC to the dollar. I use it to see how a pair is affected by BTC's momentum... I wouldnt use it to trade off alone, but it can be a useful tool alongside other indicators.
The time range can be adjusted, but I wouldnt reccomend setting it to anything over 12M, or under 1W.... as I'm not sure if it would work.
Any feedback is welcome!
This is an idea I had after looking at a wonderful visualisation made by BarclayJames, link below:

Volume Momentum [BackQuant]Volume Momentum
The Volume Momentum indicator is designed to help traders identify shifts in market momentum based on volume data. By analyzing the relative volume momentum, this indicator provides insights into whether the market is gaining strength (uptrend) or losing momentum (downtrend). The strategy uses a combination of percentile-based volume normalization, weighted moving averages (WMA), and exponential moving averages (EMA) to assess volume trends.
The system focuses on the relationship between price and volume, utilizing normalized volume data to highlight key market changes. This approach allows traders to focus on volume-driven price movements, helping them to capture momentum shifts early.
Key Features
1. Volume Normalization and Percentile Calculation:
The signed volume (positive when the close is higher than the open, negative when the close is lower) is normalized against the rolling average volume. This normalized volume is then subjected to a percentile interpolation, allowing for a robust statistical measure of how the current volume compares to historical data. The percentile level is customizable, with 50 representing the median.
2. Weighted and Smoothed Moving Averages for Trend Detection:
The normalized volume is smoothed using weighted moving averages (WMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA). These smoothing techniques help eliminate noise, providing a clearer view of the underlying momentum. The WMA filters out short-term fluctuations, while the EMA ensures that the most recent data points have a higher weight, making the system more responsive to current market conditions.
3. Trend Reversal Detection:
The indicator detects momentum shifts by evaluating whether the volume momentum crosses above or below zero. A positive volume momentum indicates a potential uptrend, while a negative momentum suggests a possible downtrend. These trend reversals are identified through crossover and crossunder conditions, triggering alerts when significant changes occur.
4. Dynamic Trend Background and Bar Coloring:
The script offers customizable background coloring based on the trend direction. When volume momentum is positive, the background is colored green, indicating a bullish trend. When volume momentum is negative, the background is colored red, signaling a bearish trend. Additionally, the bars themselves can be colored based on the trend, further helping traders quickly visualize market momentum.
5. Alerts for Momentum Shifts:
The system provides real-time alerts for traders to monitor when volume momentum crosses a critical threshold (zero), signaling a trend reversal. The alerts notify traders when the market momentum turns bullish or bearish, assisting them in making timely decisions.
6. Customizable Parameters for Flexible Usage:
Users can fine-tune the behavior of the indicator by adjusting various parameters:
Volume Rolling Mean: The period used to calculate the average volume for normalization.
Percentile Interpolation Length: Defines the range over which the percentile is calculated.
Percentile Level: Determines the percentile threshold (e.g., 50 for the median).
WMA and Smoothing Periods: Control the smoothing and response time of the indicator.
7. Trend Background Visualization and Trend-Based Bar Coloring:
The background fill is shaded according to whether the volume momentum is positive or negative, providing a visual cue to indicate market strength. Additionally, bars can be color-coded to highlight the trend, making it easier to see the trend’s direction without needing to analyze numerical data manually.
8. Note on Mean-Reversion Strategy:
If you take the inverse of the signals, this indicator can be adapted for a mean-reversion strategy. Instead of following the trend, the strategy would involve buying assets that are underperforming and selling assets that are overperforming, based on volume momentum. However, it’s important to note that this approach may not work effectively on highly correlated assets, as their price movements may be too similar, reducing the effectiveness of the mean-reversion strategy.
Final Thoughts
The Volume Momentum indicator offers a comprehensive approach to analyzing volume-based momentum shifts in the market. By using volume normalization, percentile interpolation, and smoothed moving averages, this system helps identify the strength and direction of market trends. Whether used for trend-following or adapted for mean-reversion, this tool provides traders with actionable insights into the market’s volume-driven movements, improving decision-making and portfolio management.
PCA Regime-Adjusted MomentumSummary
The PCA Regime-Adjusted Momentum (PCA-RAM) is an advanced market analysis tool designed to provide nuanced insights into market momentum and structural stability. It moves beyond traditional indicators by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to deconstruct market data into its most essential patterns.
The indicator provides two key pieces of information:
A smoothed momentum signal based on the market's dominant underlying trend.
A dynamic regime filter that gauges the stability and clarity of the market's structure, advising you when to trust or fade the momentum signals.
This allows traders to not only identify potential shifts in momentum but also to understand the context and confidence behind those signals.
Core Concepts & Methodology
The strength of this indicator lies in its sound, data-driven methodology.
1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
At its core, the indicator analyzes a rolling window (default 50 periods) of standardized market data (Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume). PCA is a powerful statistical technique that distills this complex, 5-dimensional data into its fundamental, uncorrelated components of variance. We focus on the First Principal Component (PC1), which represents the single most dominant pattern or "theme" driving the market's behavior in the lookback window.
2. The Momentum Signal
Instead of just looking at price, we project the current market data onto this dominant underlying pattern (PC1). This gives us a raw "projection score" that measures how strongly the current bar aligns with the historically dominant market structure. This raw score is then smoothed using two an exponential moving averages (a fast and a slow line) to create a clear, actionable momentum signal, similar in concept to a MACD.
3. The Dynamic Regime Filter
This is arguably the indicator's most powerful feature. It answers the question: "How clear is the current market picture?"
It calculates the Market Concentration Ratio, which is the percentage of total market variance explained by PC1 alone.
A high ratio indicates that the market is moving in a simple, one-dimensional way (e.g., a clear, strong trend).
A low ratio indicates the market is complex, multi-dimensional, and choppy, with no single dominant theme.
Crucially, this filter is dynamic. It compares the current concentration ratio to its own recent average, allowing it to adapt to any asset or timeframe. It automatically learns what "normal" and "choppy" look like for the specific chart you are viewing.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane with two key visual elements:
The Momentum Lines (White & Gold)
White Line: The "Fast Line," representing the current momentum.
Gold Line: The "Slow Line," acting as the trend confirmation.
Bullish Signal: A crossover of the White Line above the Gold Line suggests a shift to positive momentum.
Bearish Signal: A crossover of the White Line below the Gold Line suggests a shift to negative momentum.
The Regime Filter (Purple & Dark Red Background)
This is your confidence gauge.
Navy Blue Background (High Concentration): The market structure is stable, simple, and trending. Momentum signals are more reliable and should be given higher priority.
Dark Red Background (Low Concentration): The market structure is complex, choppy, or directionless. Momentum signals are unreliable and prone to failure or "whipsaws." This is a signal to be cautious, tighten stops, or potentially stay out of the market.
Potential Trading Strategies
This tool is versatile and can be used in several ways:
1. Primary Signal Strategy
Condition: Wait for the background to turn Purple, confirming a stable, high-confidence regime.
Entry: Take the next crossover signal from the momentum lines (White over Gold for long, White under Gold for short).
Exit/Filter: Consider exiting positions or ignoring new signals when the background turns Navy.
2. As a Confirmation or Filter for Your Existing Strategy
Do you have a trend-following system? Only enable its long and short signals when the PCA-RAM background is Purple.
Do you have a range-trading or mean-reversion system? It might be most effective when the PCA-RAM background is Navy, indicating a lack of a clear trend.
3. Advanced Divergence Analysis
Look for classic divergences between price and the momentum lines. For example, if the price is making a new high, but the Gold Line is making a lower high, it may indicate underlying weakness in the trend, even on a Purple background. This divergence signal is more powerful because it shows that the new price high is not being confirmed by the market's dominant underlying pattern.
Precision Stochastic DivergenceThis indicator is designed to identify potential market turning points and continuations by detecting Regular and Hidden divergences between closing price action and the Stochastic momentum oscillator. It utilizes specific default parameters (Stochastic: 40,4,3; Pivot Lookback: 5,5 based on close) and incorporates specialized filtering logic for signal qualification.
Core Functionality & Features:
Divergence Detection: Identifies standard Regular (potential reversal) and Hidden (potential continuation) divergence patterns. Logic has been optimized for accurate detection of both types.
Precision Filter Mechanism (Regular Divergences): Employs a unique dual-level validation process:
Requires the initial pivot's Stochastic value (%D) to meet Overbought (>80) or Oversold (<20) criteria.
Requires the subsequent pivot's Stochastic value (%D) to reside within a precisely defined range (Default parameterization: Bullish 19-30, Bearish 70-81). This aims to filter divergences based on specific momentum conditions following an initial extreme reading.
Standard Filter (Hidden Divergences): Filters Hidden Divergence signals by requiring both associated Stochastic pivot values to remain outside the primary Overbought/Oversold zones (i.e., >20 for Bullish, <80 for Bearish).
Signal Plotting: Displays 'R' (Regular) and 'H' (Hidden) markers on the chart upon confirmation of filtered divergence conditions. Relevant Stochastic threshold levels and filter range boundaries are plotted for visual reference.
Configuration & Usage Notes:
Parameterization: The default settings (Stochastic: 40,4,3; Pivots: 5,5; Levels: 80/20; Ranges: 19-30 / 70-81) have been specifically calibrated. For optimal performance according to the intended methodology, modification of these core parameters is strongly discouraged.
EMA Filter: Note that EMA trend filtering functionality has been intentionally removed from this version of the indicator.
Applicable Timeframes: While adaptable, performance consistency has been observed on the Hourly (1H) timeframe. Lower intervals such as 6m and 10m are considered optimal secondary timeframes, with 5m and 15m also demonstrating viability depending on market conditions.
Instrument Applicability & Validation:
!!!WARNING FOR GOLD TRADERS!!!
Low time frame spot gold (xauusd) mysteriously proves to give more incorrect signals than every other asset I have tested although higher timeframes like hourlies still signal as intended. The reason MAY be because of not enough testing.
The underlying principle of Stochastic divergence is applicable to various instruments, including Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and Major Indices (SP500, NASDAQ, etc.).
However, the efficiency of this indicator's specific parameterization is contingent upon the volatility profile and price dynamics of the selected instrument.
Mandatory Validation: Rigorous backtesting and/or simulated trading on the specific instrument and timeframe is imperative prior to live deployment. This validation is crucial to ascertain performance characteristics and confirm alignment with individual trading plans and risk management protocols.

By leveraging historical BPR structures, EMA-based momentum filtering , and a trade cooldown mechanism , this script provides a structured approach to identifying potential trading opportunities while reducing false signals.
This invite-only indicator is ideal for traders who seek precise breakout confirmation, reduced noise, and trend-following logic while maintaining flexibility through adjustable parameters.
How It Works
The script follows a multi-step breakout detection process by integrating multiple key technical components:
1. Balanced Price Range (BPR) Detection:
• A Balanced Candle is identified when the price remains within a specific percentage of its range midpoint.
• These BPR zones represent areas of equilibrium , where a breakout or breakdown is likely to occur.
• The script historically tracks BPR levels across the entire chart to monitor price action around key areas.
2. Momentum-Filtered Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
• Bullish Breakout: Occurs when the price breaks above the historical BPR high with bullish momentum.
• Bearish Breakdown: Occurs when the price breaks below the historical BPR low with bearish momentum.
• Momentum Confirmation: Each breakout requires a strong directional move, measured against the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) .
• Only confirmed breakouts are marked, reducing the likelihood of false signals in choppy markets.
3. Candle-Based Background Visualization:
• Grey Background: Represents a Balanced Price Range (BPR), indicating potential breakout zones.
• Green Background: Indicates a Bullish Breakout when the price successfully breaks and holds above the BPR high.
• Red Background: Indicates a Bearish Breakdown when the price drops below the BPR low.
4. Trade Cooldown Mechanism:
• Prevents consecutive signals from triggering too frequently.
• Default cooldown period: 5 bars (adjustable).
• Ensures that trades are not clustered, improving signal quality.
5. EMA for Trend Direction & Confirmation:
• A 20-period EMA (default, adjustable) is used to confirm trade direction.
• Breakouts above the EMA align with uptrend continuation.
• Breakdowns below the EMA align with downtrend momentum.
Key Features
✔️ Historical BPR Detection – Tracks past BPR levels across the entire chart for structured breakout zones.
✔️ Momentum-Based Breakouts – Ensures breakouts are confirmed by directional price movement before generating signals.
✔️ Candle-Based Background Logic – Subtle candle highlights rather than full background fills, for better chart clarity.
✔️ Trade Cooldown Period – Prevents consecutive buy/sell signals within a defined period, improving signal efficiency.
✔️ Dynamic EMA Confirmation – Ensures trades align with the overall trend, reducing counter-trend trades.
✔️ Customizable Inputs – Adjust breakout thresholds, EMA length, and cooldown periods as per trading style.
✔️ Works Across Multiple Timeframes – Can be applied to intraday, swing, and positional trading strategies.
How to Use
1. Look for Balanced Price Ranges ( BPR )
• These zones highlight equilibrium areas where price is likely to break out.
• Grey-shaded candles indicate potential breakout zones.
2. Monitor for Bullish or Bearish Breakouts
• A green candle background signals a bullish breakout above BPR.
• A red candle background signals a bearish breakdown below BPR.
• The EMA filter helps confirm whether the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend.
3. Follow the Cooldown Logic
• After a breakout signal, wait for the cooldown period before another trade is allowed.
• This helps filter out noisy price action and prevents excessive trading.
4. Use Alongside Other Indicators
• Works well with volume analysis, support/resistance levels, and price action strategies.
• Can be combined with other momentum indicators for further trade confirmation.
Why This Combination?
Unlike generic breakout indicators, this script uniquely combines:
• BPR historical structures for defining potential breakout zones.
• Momentum-based breakout filtering using EMA confirmation.
• Trade cooldown logic to avoid excessive trading signals.
• Subtle candle-based highlights instead of cluttered full-background fills.
This structured approach makes the indicator more robust, adaptive, and reliable in different market conditions.
Why It’s Worth Using?
🔹 Avoid False Breakouts: Built-in momentum confirmation prevents weak or fake breakouts.
🔹 Clean Visualization: No excessive overlays—just precise, meaningful background coloring for breakouts.

Blockchain Fundamentals: Liquidity Cycle MomentumLiquidity Cycle Momentum Indicator
Overview:
This indicator analyzes global liquidity trends by calculating a unique Liquidity Index and measuring its year-over-year (YoY) percentage change. It then applies a momentum oscillator to the YoY change, providing insights into the cyclical momentum of liquidity. The indicator incorporates a limited historical data workaround to ensure accurate calculations even when the chart’s history is short.
Features Breakdown:
1. Limited Historical Data Workaround
Function: The limit(length) function adjusts the lookback period when there isn’t enough historical data (i.e., near the beginning of the chart), ensuring that calculations do not break due to insufficient data.
2. Global Liquidity Calculation
Data Sources:
TVC:CN10Y (10-year yield from China)
TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index)
ECONOMICS:USCBBS (US Central Bank Balance Sheet)
FRED:JPNASSETS (Japanese assets)
ECONOMICS:CNCBBS (Chinese Central Bank Balance Sheet)
FRED:ECBASSETSW (ECB assets)
Calculation Methodology:
A ratio is computed (cn10y / dxy) to adjust for currency influences.
The Liquidity Index is then derived by multiplying this ratio with the sum of the other liquidity components.
3. Year-over-Year (YoY) Percent Change
Computation:
The indicator determines the number of bars that approximately represent one year.
It then compares the current Liquidity Index to its value one year ago, calculating the YoY percentage change.
4. Momentum Oscillator on YoY Change
Oscillator Components:
1. Calculated using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) applied to the YoY percent change with a user-defined momentum length.
2. A weighted moving average (WMA) that smooths the momentum signal.
3. Overbought and Oversold zones
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the momentum crosses upward from an oversold condition, suggesting a potential upward shift in liquidity momentum.
Sell Signal: Triggered when crosses below an overbought condition, indicating potential downward momentum.
State Management:
The indicator maintains a state variable to avoid repeated signals, ensuring that a new buy or sell signal is only generated when there’s a clear change in momentum.
5. Visual Presentation and Alerts
Plots:
The oscillator value and signalline are plotted for visual analysis.
Overbought and oversold levels are marked with dashed horizontal lines.
Signal Markers:
Buy and sell signals are marked with green and maroon circles, respectively.
Background Coloration:
Optionally, the chart’s background bars are colored (yellow for buy signals and fuchsia for sell signals) to enhance visual cues when signals are triggered.
Conclusion
In summary, the Liquidity Cycle Momentum Indicator provides a robust framework to analyze liquidity trends by combining global liquidity data, YoY changes, and momentum oscillation. This makes it an effective tool for traders and analysts looking to identify cyclical shifts in liquidity conditions and potential turning points in the market.

Bollinger Bands color candlesThis Pine Script indicator applies Bollinger Bands to the price chart and visually highlights candles based on their proximity to the upper and lower bands. The script plots colored candles as follows:
Bullish Close Above Upper Band: Candles are colored green when the closing price is above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating strong bullish momentum.
Bearish Close Below Lower Band: Candles are colored red when the closing price is below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling strong bearish momentum.
Neutral Candles: Candles that close within the bands remain their default color.
This visual aid helps traders quickly identify potential breakout or breakdown points based on Bollinger Band dynamics.
Bidirectional Momentum Aggregator w/ Time Weighting Intrabar Data Extraction:
The script optionally harnesses lower time frame data (e.g., per-second intervals) for high and low prices within each primary bar. You can set it to the current chart time but if you want to use intrabar data it uses the request.security_lower_tf() to properly pull intrabar data.
This fine-grained data enables an in-depth examination of the price action that occurs within a standard timeframe, enhancing the ability to detect subtle market movements.
A key threshold based on Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure significant price changes intrabar, adding a robust filter for volatility sensitivity.
Cumulative Time-to-Threshold Analysis:
The indicator tracks how long it takes for price changes to reach specified thresholds, marking critical time points when upward or downward price movements exceed these levels. This approach provides insights into the speed and intensity of directional shifts within the market.
The calculated time-to-threshold values act as temporal markers that influence subsequent momentum weighting.
Bidirectional Momentum Calculation:
Momentum is assessed in two directions (upward and downward) using a comprehensive array of price changes.
Adaptive Weighting Mechanism:
Each momentum value is weighted by the calculated time-to-threshold, giving preference to momentum that occurs more rapidly and aligning with potential breakout conditions.
The script also factors in correlations between momentum and price change, ensuring that only the most relevant signals contribute to the final analysis.
Iterative Length Analysis:
By iterating over a range of lengths (e.g., 100 to 200 periods), the script aggregates data to assess momentum across different time scales. This provides a more holistic view of market behavior, accommodating both short-term fluctuations and longer-term trends.
Each length is evaluated using moving averages and correlations to determine its contribution to the total weighted momentum.
Final Aggregated Output:
The weighted sums of upward and downward momentum are normalized by the total weight to produce a final composite metric.
The indicator plots these results as separate upward and downward momentum lines, offering traders a visual representation of which direction holds more momentum strength over various intervals.
Practical Application:
This indicator's advanced design is tailored for traders who require a deeper understanding of price movement dynamics and the underlying forces driving market momentum. By incorporating intrabar data, adaptive time-to-threshold calculations, and iterative analysis, this tool seeks to provide a clearer view of potential market direction shifts and their timing.
The indicator can be used to:
Identify potential breakout or reversal points by observing significant shifts in weighted momentum.
Gauge the relative strength of uptrends and downtrends through the plotted momentum lines.
Enhance decision-making with an additional layer of granularity from intrabar data.
In essence, this script is an ambitious attempt to blend multi-scale analysis, momentum dynamics, and time-weighted evaluation, creating a unique approach to understanding market behavior beyond conventional indicators.
Kurutoga Histogram with HTF and LTF
Kurutoga Histogram:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a technical analysis indicator designed to measure price divergence from the 50% level of a recent price range. By calculating how far the current price is from the midpoint of a selected base length of candles, the histogram provides insight into the momentum, strength, and potential reversals in the market. Additionally, it can be applied across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of both short- and long-term market dynamics.
Key Components:
Base Length:
The base length is the number of candles (bars) over which the high and low prices are observed. The default base length is typically 14 periods, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preference.
This base length defines the range from which the 50% level, or midpoint, is calculated.
50% Level (Midpoint):
The midpoint is the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the selected base length. This 50% level acts as an equilibrium point around which the price fluctuates.
Formula:
Midpoint = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2
The price’s distance from this midpoint is an indicator of how strong the current trend or divergence is.
Price Divergence:
The main calculation of the histogram is the difference between the current closing price and the midpoint of the price range.
Formula:
Divergence = Close Price − Midpoint
A positive divergence (price above the midpoint) indicates bullish strength, while a negative divergence (price below the midpoint) indicates bearish strength.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The Kurutoga Histogram can be applied to both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF), allowing traders to gauge price movement in both short-term and long-term contexts.
By comparing the histograms of multiple timeframes, traders can determine if there is alignment (confluence) between trends, which can strengthen trade signals or provide additional confirmation.
Color-Coded Histogram:
Blue Bars (Positive Divergence): Represent that the price is above the 50% level, indicating bullish momentum. Taller blue bars suggest stronger upward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest weakening strength.
Red Bars (Negative Divergence): Represent that the price is below the 50% level, indicating bearish momentum. Taller red bars suggest stronger downward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest a potential reversal or consolidation.
The histogram’s color intensity and transparency can be adjusted to enhance the visual effect, distinguishing between current timeframe (LTF) and higher timeframe (HTF) divergence.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signals: When the histogram bars are blue and growing, the price is gaining momentum above the midpoint of its recent range. This could signal an ongoing uptrend.
Bearish Signals: When the histogram bars are red and growing, the price is gaining momentum below the midpoint, signaling an ongoing downtrend.
Momentum Shifts: When the histogram bars shrink in size (whether blue or red), it could indicate that the current trend is losing strength and may reverse or enter consolidation.
Neutral or Sideways Movement: When the histogram bars hover around zero, it means the price is trading near the midpoint of its recent range, often signaling a lack of strong momentum in either direction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
When the current timeframe (LTF) histogram aligns with the higher timeframe (HTF) histogram (e.g., both are showing strong bullish or bearish divergence), it may provide stronger confirmation of the trend's strength.
Divergence between timeframes (e.g., bullish on LTF but bearish on HTF) may suggest that price movements on lower timeframes are not yet reflected in the broader trend, signaling caution.
Applications:
Trend Identification: The Kurutoga Histogram is highly useful for detecting when the price is trending away from its equilibrium point, providing insight into the strength of ongoing trends.
Momentum Analysis: By measuring the divergence from the 50% level, the histogram helps traders identify when momentum is increasing or decreasing.
Reversal Detection: Shrinking histogram bars can signal weakening momentum, which often precedes trend reversals.
Consolidation and Breakouts: When the histogram remains near zero for an extended period, it suggests consolidation, which often precedes a breakout in either direction.
Advantages:
Clear Visuals: The use of a color-coded histogram makes it easy to visually assess whether the market is gaining bullish or bearish momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Utility: The ability to compare current timeframe signals with higher timeframe signals adds an extra layer of confirmation, reducing false signals.
Dynamic Adjustment: By adjusting the base length, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator to match different markets or trading styles.
Limitations:
Lagging Indicator: Like most divergence indicators, the Kurutoga Histogram may lag slightly behind actual price movements, especially during fast, volatile markets.
Requires Confirmation: This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical tools like moving averages, support/resistance levels, or volume indicators, to avoid relying on divergence alone.
Conclusion:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a versatile and visually intuitive tool for measuring price divergence from a key equilibrium point, helping traders to assess the strength of trends and identify potential reversal points. Its use across multiple timeframes provides deeper insights, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy that emphasizes momentum and trend following.
Fusion MFI RSIHello fellas,

Overview
The Fusion MFI RSI Indicator is an advanced analytical tool designed to provide a nuanced understanding of market dynamics by combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Money Flow Index (MFI). Enhanced with sophisticated smoothing techniques and the Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT), this indicator excels in identifying key market conditions such as overbought and oversold states, trends, and potential reversal points.
Key Features (Brief Overview)
Fusion of RSI and MFI: Integrates momentum and volume for a comprehensive market analysis.
Advanced Smoothing Techniques: Employs Hann Window, Jurik Moving Average (JMA), T3 Smoothing, and Super Smoother to refine signals.
Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT) Enhances the clarity and distinctiveness of indicator outputs.
Detailed Feature Analysis
Fusion of RSI and MFI
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., the RSI measures the speed and magnitude of directional price movements. Wilder recommended using a 14-day period and identified overbought conditions above 70 and oversold conditions below 30.
MFI (Money Flow Index): Created by Gene Quong and Avrum Soudack, the MFI combines price and volume to measure trading pressure. It is typically calculated using a 14-day period, with over 80 considered overbought and under 20 as oversold.
Application in Fusion: By combining RSI and MFI, the indicator leverages RSI's sensitivity to price changes with MFI's volume-weighted confirmation, providing a robust analysis tool. This combination is particularly effective in confirming the strength behind price movements, making the signals more reliable.
Advanced Smoothing Techniques
Hann Window: Traditionally used to reduce the abrupt data discontinuities at the edges of a sample, it is applied here to smooth the price data.
Jurik Moving Average (JMA): Known for preserving the timing and smoothness of the data, JMA reduces market noise effectively without significant lag.
T3 Smoothing: Developed to respond quickly to market changes, T3 provides a smoother response to price fluctuations.
Super Smoother: Filters out high-frequency noise while retaining important trends.
Application in Fusion: These techniques are chosen to refine the output of the combined RSI and MFI values, ensuring the indicator remains responsive yet stable, providing clearer and more actionable signals.
Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT):
Developed by John Ehlers, the IFT transforms oscillator outputs to enhance the clarity of extreme values. This is particularly useful in this fusion indicator to make critical turning points more distinct and actionable.
Mathematical Calculations for the Fusion MFI RSI Indicator
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The RSI is calculated using the following steps:
Average Gain and Average Loss: First, determine the average gain and average loss over the specified period (typically 14 days). This is done by summing all the gains and losses over the period and then dividing each by the period.
Average Gain = (Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods) / 14
Average Loss = (Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods) / 14
Relative Strength (RS): This is the ratio of average gain to average loss.
RS = Average Gain / Average Loss
RSI: Finally, the RSI is calculated using the RS value:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
MFI (Money Flow Index)
The MFI is calculated using several steps that incorporate both price and volume:
Typical Price: Calculate the typical price for each period.
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Raw Money Flow: Multiply the typical price by the volume for the period.
Raw Money Flow = Typical Price * Volume
Positive and Negative Money Flow: Compare the typical price of the current period to the previous period to determine if the money flow is positive or negative.
If today's Typical Price > Yesterday's Typical Price, then Positive Money Flow = Raw Money Flow; Negative Money Flow = 0
If today's Typical Price < Yesterday's Typical Price, then Negative Money Flow = Raw Money Flow; Positive Money Flow = 0
Money Flow Ratio: Calculate the ratio of the sum of Positive Money Flows to the sum of Negative Money Flows over the past 14 periods.
Money Flow Ratio = (Sum of Positive Money Flows over 14 periods) / (Sum of Negative Money Flows over 14 periods)
MFI: Finally, calculate the MFI using the Money Flow Ratio.
MFI = 100 - (100 / (1 + Money Flow Ratio))
Fusion of RSI and MFI
The final Fusion MFI RSI value could be calculated by averaging the IFT-transformed values of RSI and MFI, providing a single oscillator value that reflects both momentum and volume-weighted price action:
Fusion MFI RSI = (MFI weight * MFI) + (RSI weight * RSI)
Suggested Settings and Trading Rules
Original Usage
RSI: Wilder suggested buying when the RSI moves above 30 from below (enter long) and selling when the RSI moves below 70 from above (enter short). He recommended exiting long positions when the RSI reaches 70 or higher and exiting short positions when the RSI falls below 30.
MFI: Quong and Soudack recommended buying when the MFI is below 20 and starts rising (enter long), and selling when it is above 80 and starts declining (enter short). They suggested exiting long positions when the MFI reaches 80 or higher and exiting short positions when the MFI falls below 20.
Fusion Application
Settings: Use a 14-day period for this indicator's calculations to maintain consistency with the original settings suggested by the inventors.
Trading Rules:
Enter Long Signal: Consider entering a long position when both RSI and MFI are below their respective oversold levels and begin to rise. This indicates strong buying pressure supported by both price momentum and volume.
Exit Long Signal: Exit the long position when either RSI or MFI reaches its respective overbought threshold, suggesting a potential reversal or decrease in buying pressure.
Enter Short Signal: Consider entering a short position when both indicators are above their respective overbought levels and begin to decline, suggesting that selling pressure is mounting.
Exit Short Signal: Exit the short position when either RSI or MFI falls below its respective oversold threshold, indicating diminishing selling pressure and a potential upward reversal.

Natural Market River [CC]The Natural Market River was created by Jim Sloman (Ocean Theory pgs 59-62) and this is another momentum indicator that is extremely similar to the previous indicator I published, the Natural Market Mirror . This has almost identical buy and sell signals but different way to handle calculations so I'm going to leave it up to you which one you will prefer. Since this is almost identical, the buy and sell signals work in the same way with both strong signals and normal ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know what other indicators you would like to see me publish!
