Trig-Log Scaled Momentum OscillatorTaylor Series Approximations for Trigonometry:
1. The indicator starts by calculating sine and cosine values of the close price using Taylor Series approximations. These approximations use polynomial terms to estimate the values of these trigonometric functions.
Mathematical Component Formation:
2. The calculated sine and cosine values are then multiplied together. This gives us the primary mathematical component, termed as the 'trigComponent'.
Smoothing Process:
3. To ensure that our indicator is less susceptible to market noise and more reactive to genuine price movements, this 'trigComponent' undergoes a smoothing process using a simple moving average (SMA). The length of this SMA is defined by the user.
Logarithmic Transformation:
4. With our smoothed value, we apply a natural logarithm approximation. Again, this approximation is based on the Taylor expansion. This step ensures that all resultant values are positive and offers a different scale to interpret the smoothed component.
Dynamic Scaling:
5. To make our indicator more readable and comparable over different periods, the logarithmically transformed values are scaled between a range. This range is determined by the highest and lowest values of the transformed component over the user-defined 'lookback' period.
ROC (Rate of Change) Direction:
6. The direction of change in our scaled value is determined. This offers a quick insight into whether our mathematical component is increasing or decreasing compared to the previous value.
Visualization:
7. Finally, the indicator plots the dynamically scaled and smoothed mathematical component on the chart. The color of the plotted line depends on its direction (increasing or decreasing) and its boundary values.

Advanced Choppiness Indicator with CPMA"The Advanced Choppiness Indicator with CPMA is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying choppy market conditions and determining trend direction. It combines two key components: the Choppiness Index and a Custom Price Moving Average (CPMA).
The Choppiness Index is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), which measures market volatility. It compares the ATR to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period. A higher Choppiness Index value indicates choppier market conditions, while a lower value suggests smoother and more directional price movements.
The CPMA is a custom moving average that takes into account various price types, including the close, high, low, and other combinations. It calculates the average of these price types over a specific length. The CPMA provides a smoother trend line that can help identify support and resistance levels more accurately than traditional moving averages.
When using this indicator, pay attention to the following elements:
Yellow range boxes: These indicate choppy zones, where market conditions are characterized by low momentum and erratic price action. Avoid entering trades during these periods.
Histogram bars: Green bars suggest an uptrend, while red bars indicate a downtrend. These bars are based on the CPMA and can help confirm the prevailing trend direction.
CPMA angle: The angle of the CPMA line provides further insight into the trend. A positive angle indicates an uptrend, while a negative angle suggests a downtrend.
Choppiness thresholds: The indicator includes user-defined thresholds for choppiness. Values above the high threshold indicate high choppiness, while values below the low threshold suggest low choppiness.
Trade decisions: Consider the information provided by the indicator to make informed trading decisions. Avoid trading during choppy zones and consider entering trades in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Remember that the indicator's parameters, such as ATR length and CPMA length, can be adjusted to suit your trading preferences and timeframe. However, it's important to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and your trading strategy for comprehensive market analysis."
By combining the Choppiness Index, CPMA, and other visual cues, this indicator aims to help traders identify suitable trading conditions and make more informed decisions based on market trends and volatility.
FTR, WMA, OBV & RSI StrategyThis Pine Script code is a trading strategy that uses several indicators such as Fisher Transform (FTR), On-Balance Volume (OBV), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and a Weighted Moving Average (WMA). The strategy generates buy and sell signals based on the conditions of these indicators.
The Fisher Transform function is a technical indicator that uses past prices to determine whether the current market is bullish or bearish. The Fisher Transform function takes in four multipliers and a length parameter. The four multipliers are used to calculate four Fisher Transform values, and these values are used in combination to determine if the market is bullish or bearish.
The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) is a technical indicator that smooths out the price data by giving more weight to the most recent prices.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of a security's price action. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
The On-Balance Volume (OBV) is a technical indicator that uses volume to predict changes in the stock price. OBV values are calculated by adding volume on up days and subtracting volume on down days.
The strategy uses the Fisher Transform values to generate buy and sell signals when all four Fisher Transform values change color. It also uses the WMA to determine if the trend is bullish or bearish, the OBV to confirm the trend, and the RSI to filter out false signals.
The red and green triangular arrows attempt to indicate that the trend is bullish or bearish and should not be traded against in the opposite direction. This helps with my FOMO :)
All comments welcome!
The script should not be relied upon alone, there are no stop loss or take profit filters. The best results have been back-tested using Tradingview on the 45m - 3 hour timeframes.
Consecutive MomentumThis is a momentum indicator that measures how much fluctuation has occurred in the direction of the consecutive candle.
The green line at the upper of the indicator shows the maximum rise over the set period (default is 120 candles).
Likewise, the red line at the bottom shows the biggest drop.
The blue line shows the average of the maximum fluctuation width.
---
For example, in the picture above, the green vertical line means that consecutive fallen goes beyond the average level.
Also, the red vertical line shows that the consecutive rising exceeds the average level.
---
Uncheck the 'Show Direction' check box to show the values as absolute values.
In addition, if you select the 'Show Consecutive Candle' option, you can see how many consecutive candles have been occurred.
---
Since You may be able to trade against the trend outside of the above average rise/fall,
through this indicator, I wanted to express a situation that requires risk management such as "It is overheat than usual, so I should wait for a retracement."
I hope this helps you.

True Range Adjusted Exponential Momentum [CC]-[burgered]Original Script by CheatCountry, used with permission (chill guy):
I have made a sort of conversion of CheatCountries implementation of the True Range Adjusted Exponential Moving Average into a momentum oscillator.
Being True Range based, it the bounds vary based on the chart.
Includes a Bollinger Band for bounds that forms a trend follower based on the 0 point.
Includes CheatCountry color code signals, different color scheme. Bright colors are strong signals, ark are weak, green bull, red bear, the basics.
This oscillator can be used for divergences, trends, signal strength, confirmation, volatility readings, you name it.
Works well on smoothed/filtered signals as well.
Give CheatCountry a follow, hes one of the MVPs of Tradingview Pinescripters, constantly giving us access to novel new concepts as they are published by professionals.
Stoch RSI 15 min - multi time frame tableABOUT THIS INDICATOR
This indicator calculates the Stochastic RSI for the time frames 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 4h, and 12h. However, the 15 min time frame should always be the default time frame for your chart.
IMPORTANT
* NOTE! It's extremely important that the chosen time frame for your chart is 15 min. Otherwise the Stochastic RSI for the longer time frames won’t be correctly calculated.
* Stochastic RSI will be calculated and displayed in a table for the time frames: 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 4h, 12h.
* All time frames are based on closed bars except the "15minR" that are realtime updated values calculated on a 15 min time frame.
ABOUT STOCHASTIC RSI
The Stochastic RSI (StochRSI) is a momentum indicator that ranges between 0 and 100. A Stochastic RSI value above 80 is considered overbought and below 20 is considered oversold.
By using different time frames you can get a better idea of what direction the trade could take in a "longer" perspective.
SETTINGS
1.) Length RSI = 14 (default period)
2.) Smoothing parameter of Stochastic RSI (Length Moving Average = 3) . Moving average of stochastic RSI
* By default the displayed Stochastic RSI values are smoothed values of the actual Stochastic RSI. The smoothnes is formed by a calculated moving average of with the length of 3 by default.
If you want Stochastic RSI with a sharper signal (higher risk for "false alarms" being more sensitive) change the Length Moving Average to = 1 (no smoothness at all)
You can see the selected "Length RSI" and "Length Moving Average" on top of the Stochastic RSI table.
Next version of this script will be updated with more a more flexible solution for different time frames.
* NOTE, Tradingview comes with a inbuilt Stochastic RSI. See the the chart below. The blue line in the Stochastic-RSI chart represents (K value = 3) the same value as the script calculate/display in the table.
Simple Momentum and Trend, Fixed PnL Strategy for SPY 1D [SR]This strategy uses an ATR rule to assess momentum and a TSI rule to assess bullish or bearishness
It has a fixed stop at 50 points, and fixed take profit at 300 pips
It provides a very satisfyingly smooth equity line with a max drawdown below 5% and realized profit over 200%
This is the initial version as I work out optimizations and add plots to the chart based on the strategy's actions.
I would love to get the community's feedback and help as I'm new. Not sure how to limit the date range of the backtest to make it more realistic. I'm also not certain how to plot it best.
Qube [AstrideUnicorn]Qube is an indicator that shows market regimes. It is able to detect medium and long term trends and ranging markets. If the indicator bars are colored blue and are between the two blue lines, it means that the market is in sideways movement or consolidation. If indicator bars cross the upper boundary and are colored green, it means that the market is in an uptrend. Red bars crossing the lower blue line indicate a downward trend. The red or green columns are further referred as signal bars.
The indicator is based on the normalized momentum oscillator raised to the third power. This is done to increase the sensitivity of the indicator and to emphasize the difference between the market modes.
The indicator can be used in different ways. One of them is determining the trend direction based on the last signal bar. Even if the current indicator bar is blue (showing range or consolidation), the user should consider the longer-term market mode as upward if the last signal bar is green. And vice versa, if the last signal bar is red, the current market bias is downward. One other way to use the indicator is to catch active price impulses, when columns of the same color (red or green) appear consecutively.

First of All, I would like to give my gratitude to for the initital script's idea.
This is my own version of SQZMOM. I had revised all equations and parameters according to Investopedia.
Still, no matter how much we stick to the indicator, the indicator can not see the future.
Trading results vary from time to time. In my opinion, SQZMOM is great for speculating under 4H timeframe.
Remarks;
- implement horizontal shift
- revised all equations. Unfortunately, there is no magic params.
- Be careful with your money management
- Good Luck
Market Sector Scanner/Screener With MOM + RSI + MFI + DMI + MACDMARKET SECTOR SCANNER/SCREENER MOM + RSI + MFI + DMI + MACD FOR STOCKS CRYPTO & FOREX
This script scans 9 markets constantly and returns the values of 5 different popular indicators.
This indicator helps you see when one of your favorite stocks is bullish or bearish when you are not watching that chart so you can always catch the big moves as they happen.
***HOW TO USE***
A great way to use this market screener is to set up separate chart layouts for each sector you like to trade. Such as the top 9 stocks in the S & P 500, top 9 stocks in the XLF etf, etc. Make sure to set up separate chart layouts in Tradingview so you don’t have to change the symbols constantly. This will give you a good idea in real time if that entire sector is bullish, bearish or mixed. When the entire grid goes red or green, those are very strong signs of market direction across that entire sector, so trades in the corresponding direction are quite safe.
This can be done for crypto as well, using the top 9 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Watch the grid and wait for the entire lot to turn green or red and then take a position in that direction.
You can also use this with a variety of your favorite tickers so you can see when specific markets are looking strong in either direction, instead of constantly changing charts or missing good opportunities because you weren’t watching that specific chart.
This grid can also be used to determine how long to hold a position as well. If the entire grid is still green or red, according to your trade direction, you can usually expect price to continue in that direction until you see some conflicting colors start to pop up on the grid. As it starts to give mixed signals, you can expect the market to be indecisive or reverse which is a good time to get out.
If you have your scanner setup to show similar markets in one sector, be careful taking trades when the grid is very mixed in color. This shows signs of indecision and will likely have choppy price action until the market decides a direction so make sure to use caution when the grid is mixed. It is best to wait for the entire grid to turn green or red and then take position.
***COLOR MEANINGS***
When each indicator value is in bullish territory, the background of that value will turn green.
When each indicator value is in bearish territory, the background of that value will turn red.
When each indicator value is in neutral territory, the background of that value will turn blue.
When all 5 indicators for a ticker are bullish, the ticker background will turn green.
When all 5 indicators for a ticker are bearish, the ticker background will turn red.
When there is a mixture of bullish and bearish values, the ticker background will turn blue.
***CUSTOMIZATION***
You can customize which tickers are in your scanner including stocks, crypto, futures and forex, the source of the indicators, the length of the indicator settings and the smoothing parameters.
***INDICATORS USED***
The indicators used for each ticker are as follows:
Momentum(MOM) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above zero, bearish is below zero.
Relative Strength Index(RSI) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above 50, bearish is below 50.
Money Flow Index(MFI) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above 50, bearish is below 50.
Directional Movement Index(DMI) - Default length is 14 and smoothing is 14. Calculated by subtracting di minus from di plus. If the value is positive, it is bullish. If the value is negative, it is bearish.
Moving Average Convergence & Divergence(MACD) - Default settings are 12, 26, 9. If the short line is greater than the long line, then it is bullish. If the short line is less than the long line, it is bearish.
***MARKETS***
This market scanner can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This scanner can be used on all timeframes and pulls data from other tickers using the same timeframe as what your current chart is set to.
***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 Signals, Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile With Buy/Sell Pressure, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Scanner. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Dynamic Momentum Ecosystem Futures verI've reuploaded my previous uploaded script Dynamic Momentum Ecosystem, but this one specifically catered to futures trading.
The idea and underlying script function as usual.
Lime = Price closed higher + volume transacted higher than average + MACD Histogram increases + 13 EMA increases
Green = Price closed higher + MACD Histogram increases + 13 EMA increases
Red = Price closed lower + MACD Histogram decreases + 13 EMA decreases
Blue = Either MACD Histogram increases/decreases + 13 EMA increases/decreases
Lime candle is viewed as a robust bullish sign as price increases, supported by the rising MACD Histogram, 13EMA, and higher than average volumes transacted. Perfect for dip buying near the 20/50 MAs.
Green candle is viewed as bullish with the rising of MACD Histogram and EMA . Good for dip buying near the 20/50 MAs.
Red candle is viewed as bearish with the declining of MACD Histogram and EMA . Good for short entry. Can also be the early sign to take profits, as it could be the preliminary signal for trend reversal.
Blue candle is viewed as neutral.
The upper dotted purple line is the 52candles high.
The vertical grey line appears when the price > MA50 crosses above MA200, which is a golden crossover.
Traders are advised to time their entry using the impulse coloring system for stocks that are trading near the dotted line, following the grey line formation.
Jigga - Relative Strength - SectorsHi All !!
I came across relative strength concept from below indicator.
Indicator Name: (Relative-Strength by modhelius)
Note: Sorry !! Could not add indicator url here.
Formula:
RelativeStrength = (sectorValue / sectorValue ) / (indexValue / indexValue ) - 1 * 100
I used same concept and combine all sector's relative strength against Nifty50 index.
How to use:
You can change length based on your convenience and show/hide sectors.
Indicator will show strength line for that sector.
you can use this to identify momentum stocks.
RVM Relative Volume MomentumRVM Relative Volume Momentum is an indicator that shows relative volume as a percentage of volume over the last 5 bars to the average volume of the same 5 bars of the previous 3 days.
Trend Momentum with Buyers / Sellers PowerHi there!
With this indicator, you can hunt big trends before they start.
This indicator is combined with RSI and Momentum indicators
It can show you the power of trend and which side it wants to go
It can help you to open a position at the first point of a new trend or at the safe and proven point of the trend, also it can help you to close your position before the trend change its direction (it's not recommended to use it to close your positon, but sometimes it can help you to find the ending point of big pumps)
Rules:
* Baseline is ZERO ( 0 ) line
* When gray line crossover red line, it shows us a powerful uptrend
* When the gray line crossunder the red line it shows us a powerful upward trend
Signals:
* Only use Buy signals(Long) when they are above or crossing-up baseline
* Only use Sell signals(Short) when they are under or crossing-down baseline
* If they both (red and gray lines) are too high and they suddenly starting to come back to baseline, it shows we have a range trend, the trend is weak or a reversal trend is coming!!
!! WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR ALONE !!
Suggestions :
-Use 1H, 4H, daily, or Weekly timeframes
-Use ADX and DI or three WMA's
-Use divergence
-You can use it for scalping but you need to change the inputs (not recommended)
If you have any idea about making new indicators(what information do you want from the chart?), comment please, then I can research and make it for all of us! =)
Ehlers Relative Vigor Index [CC]The Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pg 58) and this is a momentum indicator that is similar to the Accumulation Distribution Oscillator created by Jim Waters and Larry Williams. He uses digital signal processing to smooth the indicator to provide clear buy and sell signals. The idea behind this indicator is that during uptrends, prices tend to close near the high and during downtrends, prices tend to close near the low. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal ones are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. Usually the best signals I have found for this indicator is when the indicator is below the 0 line and turns green then it is usually a sign of a strong uptrend.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Natural Market Combo [CC]The Natural Market Combo was created by Jim Sloman and this is another one of my Ocean series of indicators to provide his full life's work free of charge to everyone. Just as the name implies, this is a combination of his two market indicators ( Natural Market River and Natural Market Mirror ) and this is a momentum indicator like the others. Big thanks to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for providing me the full source code and documentation to be able to publish all of Jim's work. This indicator is very simple to understand in that it takes the 2 market indicators and creates his own average of both indicators then smooths the result. I did fix an error that he didn't account for in his original script so the results are much more accurate. I have included strong buy and sell signals as darker colors and normal buy and sell signals as normal colors. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!
Relative Momentum IndexThe RMI indicator is intended as a general upgrade to the RSI indicator based on logical improvements to the underlying mathematics of the RSI function.
The first change is that the RMI indicator uses the maximal change in price in both directions rather than simply the change in the closing price to better capture the relative momentum in each direction. The second change is that the the ratio between bullishness and bearishness is passed through a log function rather than the 1/(1+x) function to remove the processing artefacts caused by the EMAs and the compression within the restricted range. As a result, the RMI is an unbounded centred oscillator, although it is usually at a similar value to the RSI indicator doubled and centred at zero. The bands are intended to make differences between values more visible at a glance and for interface familiarity with the RSI indicator, though their levels are arbitrary and not intended as overbought/oversold signals.
The practical effect of these changes are that divergences are easier to see since the indicator is not compressed at extreme values and divergence strategies based on the RMI indicator are slightly more accurate. The list of occasions on the included DJI Weekly chart where the RMI divergence strategy correctly predicted a reversal while the RSI did not are as follows: July 1932, June 1962, May 1970, November 1987, May 2021
Volume, Momentum and Volatility weighted moving averageMoving averages are filters on price data. This moving average creates a filter which factors in:
- the price RSI or it's Momentum
- the volume RSI
- the RVI or Volatility
Each factor is put through a least squares filter to smooth them first.
Then the factors are used to build a coefficient for an exponentially weighted average.
The chart above shows a comparison of standard average types with this script.
This is useful if you are looking for a moving average based trigger and do not wish to react to candle noise price action.
Table: Relative Strength Index (Multiple Timeframes) DESCRIPTION
It is the most popular and dependent Indicator, Relative Strength Index (RSI) . Now, I put inside a table to view chart momentum from Multiple timeframes.
This indicator tells different Timeframe (30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month) of RSI value within table form.
HOW TO USE
Can consider a Long position when all timeframes go oversold while Short position when all timeframes go overbought. Alarm function is available. It sounds as all timeframes are overbought or oversold.

Squeeze Momentum Indicator MTF with alerts [lazy bear]MTF version of the popular squeeze momentum indicator, created and shared by Lazy Bear
(JS) BallistaAlright so this is a script I made by combining two existing ones and making a really cool discovery that has proven very useful.
You'll notice that there are two separate oscillators that are laid on top of each other. The background oscillator is my "Tip-and-Dip" oscillator which you can see here (will refer to this as TnD from here), and the foreground oscillator from the Squeeze , which can be viewed here .
Initially I just wanted to see how they interacted with one another and compare them, but this led to some pretty interesting observations.
First let me go through the options real quick to get that out of the way, though it is mostly self-explanatory.
Lookback Period defines the amount of bars used for the TnD oscillator.
Smoothing Value smooths out the TnD output.
Standard Deviations is used to calculate the TnD formula.
Color Scheme is preset BG colors.
Using Dark Mode changes colors based on dark mode or not.
Squeeze Momentum On turns the Squeeze in the foreground off and on.
Arrows Off turns the arrows on the indicator off and on.
Now to explain the indicator a bit more. I have the default lookback period as 40 due to the Squeeze being 20, which makes the TnD oscillator the "slow" output with the Squeeze being the "fast" output.
Some initial observations were that when both the Squeeze and the TnD are moving in the direction, when the Squeeze is higher (uptrend) or lower (downtrend) it seems to indicate strength in the move. As the move loses steam you'll notice the Squeeze diverge from the TnD.
However, the most useful thing I discovered about the interaction between these two indicators is where the name for it came from. So if you aren't familiar with what a Ballista is, per Wikipedia, "The ballista... sometimes called bolt thrower, was an ancient missile weapon that launched either bolts or stones at a distant target." There are instances where the Squeeze seems to get ahead of itself and gets too far away from the TnD (which is the long term trend between the two). The key thing to look for is an "inverted squeeze" - this is when the squeeze oscillator ends up flipping against the TnD. When this occurs there is an extremely high probability that you'll see price shoot back the opposite way of the Squeeze.
I've been using this setup myself for about a year now and have been very satisfied with the results thusfar. I circled some examples on the SPX daily chart here to show you what I mean with the inverted Squeeze shooting back.
