Walter Deemer Market Breadth Breakaway MomentumThis indicator is based on long time market analysts Walter Deemer's research. Below is a summary of what the indicator is used for. In short it can be used to spot market reversals.
In short, when the 10 day NYSE Advance:Decline ratio breaches 1.97, the market has achieved break away momentum. When the 20 day ratio achieves a 1.72 ratio this can be a "good" signal even if when the 10 day has not achieved a 1.97 ratio.
In addition to the NYSE, you can toggle NASDAQ, AMEX, or the average of the three.
You can read more about it here: walterdeemer.com
"Downside momentum usually peaks at the end of a decline, as prices cascade into a primary low. On the upside, though, momentum peaks at the beginning of an advance, then gradually dissipates as the advance goes on, and the more powerful the momentum at the move's beginning, the stronger the overall move; REALLY strong momentum is found only at the beginning of a REALLY strong move: a new bull market or a new intermediate leg up within a bull market. We coined the term "breakaway momentum" in the 1970's to describe this REALLY powerful upside momentum. The following is a review of what it is and how it is typically generated.
Breakaway momentum (some people call it a "breadth thrust") occurs when ten-day total advances on the NYSE are greater than 1.97 times ten-day total NYSE declines. It is a relatively uncommon phenomenon...24 times it has occurred since World War II (an average of once every 3 1/2 years). Cyclical bull markets, though, are traditionally heralded by breakaway momentum, so we are hopeful that it will be generated this time around, too.
....The real trick in generating breakaway momentum? It's not a lot of advances; it's a lack of declines."

StockBee 4% BreakoutThe Stockbee 4% Breakout script is a study tool for users who wants to do a deep dive on StockBee's 4% Breakout momentum burst method. This script will assist a specific group of traders who trade this method easily find historical momentum bursts. This script finds and colors red any candle body that meets the following criteria:
1. Volume of the candle is greater than the previous candle volume.
2. The percent change of candle's price is greater than 4% from the previous candle close.
3. Current candle close is less than 30% from candle's high.
This script also filters out any candle that gaps up and breaks down with a close above 4% the previous candle (Eliminates gap-ups that fade). This tool is meant to find and filter possible candidates. Not every marked candle is a great momentum burst trade.
This is very helpful for Trading View users trading this specific setup.
TradeWithAB Signal IndicatorThis indicator specifically designed for Momentum trading by an Intraday trader on index( Nifty , BankNifty ) and Equity stocks. This indicator works with DMI and PRICE ACTIONS which gives automated Buy and Sell signals along with Stop loss and Trailing Stop loss when certain criteria are met. It is not a Holy Grail system that gives you continuous profits and it has some limited downfalls also which can be controlled by proper risk Management and position sizing. This is a premium invite only indicator which can be use after given access to you by us. There are some guidelines on how to use this indicator which are given below and you have to follow these guidelines very strictly to get the maximum results.
Guidelines :-
1. Timeframe - 5 min
2. Period should be changed on daily basis(if required) for index trading.
3. Period value would be basically derived from IND VIX value (closest integer) divided by 2.
Ex 1. If the VIX value is 23.56, then it will be consider as 24. So the period value will be 24/2= 12.
Ex 2. If the VIX value is 23.10, then it will be considered as 24. So the period value will be 24/2= 12.
Ex 3. If the VIX value is 22.88, then it will be considered as 22. So the period value will be 22/2= 11.
4. Period value should be fixed at 20 for equity stocks.
5. DO NOT take any SWING or POSITIONAL trade with this indicator.
6. You have to take almost all the trade generated by this indicator on a particular stock/index for better results.
7. Signal confirmation is required for enter the trade as it will give you maximum profits.
8. GREEN TRIANGLE is represented as BUY Signal whereas RED TRIANGLE is represented as SELL Signal.
9. GREEN ARROW is considered as BUY TRAILING STOP LOSS as well as BUY RE-ENTRY for some scenarios.
10. RED ARROW is considered as SELL TRAILING STOP LOSS and SELL RE-ENTRY for some scenarios.
11. You have to avoid entering a trade on a round level zone. Eg- Banknifty 37000,35500,40000 etc etc.
BUY Trade Management :-
1. Trade should be initiated if and only if there is a buy signal(Green Triangle) is generated with confirmation of its respective indices (Recent candle of respective index should be similar to the signal candle).
*in case of BankNifty , Nifty will be its respective index and vice-versa.
2. You should only enter the trade at the CLOSE of the signal generated candle.
3. Your Stop loss should be placed at the LOW of the signal generated candle.
4. There is a trailing Stop loss signal (Green Arrow) after the buying signal is generated.
5. You should trail your Stop loss at the LOW of the trailing Stop loss signal generated candle.
6. You should trail your Stop loss repeatedly until your trailing Stop loss got hit and hence Exit your buy trade.
7. After Exiting the trade you have always option to re-enter at the next trailing Stop loss signal(green arrow) generated candle CLOSE and put your Stop loss at LOW of that candle and repeat the same trailing stop loss procedures.
SELL Trade Management :-
1. Trade should be initiated if and only if there is a sell signal(Red Triangle) is generated with confirmation of its respective indices (Recent candle of respective index should be similar to the signal candle).
*in case of BankNifty , Nifty will be its respective index and vice-versa.
2. You should only enter the trade at the CLOSE of the signal generated candle.
3. Your Stop loss should be placed at the HIGH of the signal generated candle.
4. There is a trailing Stop loss signal (Red Arrow) after the selling signal is generated.
5. You should trail your Stop loss at the HIGH of the trailing Stop loss signal generated candle.
6. You should trail your Stop loss repeatedly until your trailing Stop loss got hit and hence Exit your sell trade.
7. After Exiting the trade you have always option to re-enter at the next trailing Stop loss signal(red arrow) generated candle CLOSE and put your Stop loss at HIGH of that candle and repeat the same trailing stop loss procedures.

RP trend readerThis tool is a momentum reader
You can use this tools at any timeframe
When the momentum is meet the condition then it will show the signal
The signal are "Buy" and "Sell"
Buy means that you Long or exit your Short at the price
Sell means that you Short or exit your Long at the price
There's pivot line at there
Pivot line is showing how strong the momentum right now
If the price above or way above the pivot line then the uptrend is strong (very bullish)
If the price below or way below the pivot line then the downtrend is strong (very bearish)
Don't blindly Buy or Sell just because the signal is coming out
Combine it with the market structure, look at the big picture instead lower TF and the edge is yours
The best entry is when the price bounce close to the pivot point
Be carefull with the sideway or choppy market. You can see that the price is going up and down at the pivot line and the signals come out quite often
Follow your trading plan, be patience (don't FOMO) and be discipline with your plan... Cheers...
+ BB %B: MA selection, bar coloring, multi-timeframe, and alerts+ %B is, at its simplest, the classic Bollinger Bands %B indicator with a few added bells and whistles.
However, the right combination of bells and whistles will often improve and make a more adaptable indicator.
Classically, Bollinger Bands %B is an indicator that measures volatility, and the momentum and strength of a trend, and/or price movements.
It shows "overbought" and "oversold" spots on a chart, and is also useful for identifying divergences between price and trend (similar to RSI).
With + %B I've added the options to select one or two moving averages, candle coloring, and a host of others.
Let's start with the moving averages:
There are options for two: one faster and one slower. Or combine them how you will, or omit one or both of them entirely.
Here you will find options for SMA, EMA (as well as double and triple), Hull MA, Jurik MA, Least Squares MA, Triangular MA, Volatility Adjusted MA, and Weighted MA.
A moving average essentially helps to define trend by smoothing the noise of movements of the underlying asset, or, in this case, the output of the indicator.
All of these MAs available track this in a different way, and it's up to the trader to figure out which makes most sense to him/her.
MA's, in my opinion, improve the basic %B by providing a clearer picture of what the indicator is actually "seeing", and may be useful for providing entries and exits.
Next up is candle coloring:
I've added the option for this indicator to color candles on the chart based on where the %B is in relation to its upper and lower bounds, and median line.
If the %B is above the median but below the upper bound, candles will be green (showing bullish market structure). If %B is below the median but above the lower bound, candles will be red (denoting bearish market structure).
Overbought and oversold candles will also be colored on the chart, so that a quick glance will tell you whether price action is bullish/bearish or "oversold"/"overbought".
I've also added functionality that enables candles to be colored based on if the %B has crossed up or crossed down the primary moving average.
One example as a way to potentially use these features is if the candles are showing oversold coloration followed by the %B crossing up your moving average coloration. You might consider a long there (or exit a short position if you are short).
And the last couple of tweaks:
You may set the timeframe to whatever you wish, so maybe you're trading on the hourly, but you want to know where the %B is on the 4h chart. You can do that.
The background fill for the indicator is split into bullish and bearish halves. Obviously you may turn the background off, or make it all one color as well.
I've also added alerts, so you may set alerts for "overbought" and "oversold" conditions.
You may also set alerts for %B crossing over or under the primary moving average, or for crossing the median line.
All of these things may be turned on and off. You can pretty much customize this to your heart's delight. I see no reason why anyone would use the standard %B after playing with this.
I am no coder. I had this idea in my head, though, and I made it happen through referencing another indicator I was familiar with, and watching tutorials on YouTube.
Credits:
Firstly, thanks to www.tradingview.com for his brilliant, free tutorials on YouTube.

Customizable Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)The PPO is basically the MACD but in percentage terms. This is better for comparing momentum across different securities.
This script is a standard PPO but with many options for customization. You can set the moving average type of the signal and the oscillator lines separately. You can also weight any moving average of the PPO by volume.
Supported Types of MA:
SMA
EMA
ALMA
HMA
WMA
Personally, I believe weighting by volume is helpful across markets but especially helpful for equities. I like to use 3,10,16 settings similar to Linda Raschke but with EMA instead of SMA. This indicator is especially useful for signaling trend continuation and generating exit signals. For entries, I believe this indicator should not be blindly followed and works better when combined with a trend or price action signal.
If there are requests for more types of moving average to be used with the PPO, I would be down to implement them, but I believe most moving averages are pretty similar.
Smooth First Derivative IndicatorIntroducing the Smooth First Derivative indicator. For each time step, the script numerically differentiates the price data using prior datapoints from the look-back window. The resulting time derivative (the rate of price change over time) is presented as a centered oscillator.
A first derivative is a versatile tool used in functional data analysis. When applied to price data, it can be applied to analyze momentum, confirm trend direction, and identify pivot points.
Model Description:
The model assumes that, within the look-back window, price data can be well approximated by a smooth differentiable function. The first derivative can then be computed numerically using a noise-robust one-sided differentiator. The current version of the script employs smooth differentiators developed by P. Holoborodko (www.holoborodko.com). Note that the Indicator should not be confused with Constance Brown's Derivative Oscillator.
Input parameter:
The Bandwidth parameter sets the number of points in the moving look-back window and thus determines the smoothness of the first derivative curve. Note that a smoother Indicator shows a greater lag.
Interpretation:
When using this Indicator, one should recall that the first derivative can simply be interpreted as the slope of the curve:
- The maximum (minimum) in the Indicator corresponds to the point at which the market experiences the maximum upward (downward) slope, i.e., the inflection point. The steeper the slope, the greater the Indicator value.
- The positive-to-negative zero-crossing in the Indicator suggests that the market has formed a local maximum (potential start of a downtrend or a period of consolidation). Likewise, a zero-crossing from negative to positive is a potential bullish signal.
MA MTF Momentum HistogramMy own interpretation indicator which i call multi time frame moving averages momentum with NO LAG EMA support (Optional).
The indicator is calculated by subtracting the long-term EMA from the short-term EMA .
This pretty much resembles the MACD moving averages calculation but without the smoothing of the histogram.
Can also be used to find divergences.
The background shows the main trend with higher time frame which can be set in the settings.
Aimed to use with Higher time frame (Double or more) but can also work with lower time frame.
How to use the indicator?
==Histogram==
Green: Momentum of asset is positive and increasing.
Lighter Green: Momentum of asset is still positive but decreasing and can revert to negative momentum.
Red: Momentum of asset is negative and increasing.
Lighter Red: Momentum of asset is still negative but increasing and revert to positive momentum.
==Background Color - Main Trend==
Green: HTF (Higher time frame) momentum is positive.
RED: HTF momentum is negative.

TakeOff Levels/Zones (Expo)TakeOff Levels/Zones (Expo) automatically identifies and displays support and resistance levels based on momentum.
Levels/Zones are displayed where there is a high probability that price can takeoff. Traders should look for breakouts from the Level/Zone.
If the price doesn't breakouts from the SR level/zone there's a chance that the market has topped or bottomed out.
The indicator can be used standalone or as a part of your current trading strategy.

Superb RSI Signal by Lukas, Version 1.0.0Buy and Sell Signal base on many momentum indicator.
Only works on Forex Major Pairs :)
I test on 1H timeframe and its looks good.
Use DEMA 20 for entry point, always entry near DEMA 20 for maximum profit, use your trailing stop and stop loss 1 ATR from entry.
Circle on top : trend 1st resolution
Circle on bottom : trend 2nd resolution
Set second resolution with higher timeframe for safer trade or lower timeframe for aggressive trade.
You can play around with other settings, it's about sensitivity.
Hope it useful,
Cheers.
Stochastic Heat MapA series of 28 stochastic oscillators plotted horizontally and stacked vertically from bottom to top as the oscillator background.
Each oscillator has been interpreted and the value has been used to colour the lines in.
Lower lines are shorter term stochastics and higher lines are longer term stochastics.
The average of the 28 stochastics has been taken and then used to plot the fast oscillator line, which also has a slow oscillator line to follow.
The oscillator line can be used to colour in the candles.
Inputs:
MA: multiple smoothing methods
Theme: multiple colours
Increment: stochastic length start and increments
Smooth Fast: smooth fast length
Smooth Slow: smooth slow length
Paint Bars: colour candles
Waves: toggle method to weight/increment stochastics
Heat map shows momentum extremes:
MACD modulated RSIThe main oscillator is the RSI modulated by the MACD (default). The RSI mode can be disabled to revert to a normal MACD oscillator for the main oscillator.
When the main oscillator (thicker line) is > 0, it is green; and if it is < 0, it is red.
The MACD can be re-scaled and whenever its value > 100, a background fill between the oscillator and the zeroline appear to indicates overbought condition; and < -100 indicates oversold condition. The user can tweak the scaling factor to optimize this for a given chart and timeframe.
A proprietary asymmetric differential oscillator (ADO) is also implemented, which is modulated by the main oscillator. When this (thinner line) secondary oscillator is > 0, it is yellow; and when it is < 0, it is lavender. The user can select the order of the differential (i.e. Order 1 = Momentum, Order 2 = Acceleration, Order 3 = Jerk, Order 4 = Snap, Order 5 = Crackle, Order 6 = Pop). This oscillator provides details of the more subtle underlying/hidden trends that is emerging or brewing, and may hint of an incoming move ahead of time. Divergence in the sign and slope of this secondary oscillator with respect to the main oscillator may provide a useful edge for trade setup.
A (thick transparent light blue) volume oscillator is also provided. An increase in volume trend provides confirmation of (or solidifies) the movements in the main oscillator over that period. A falling volume oscillator trend raises doubts on the main oscillator trend, and hints of the possibility of a counter-trend (also look at the secondary ADO oscillator for clues).

Trend Lines for RSI, CCI, Momentum, OBVHello Traders!
After publishing Trend Lines for RSI yesterday, I realized that Trend Lines for more indicators needed by the traders. so I decided to make it for four different indicators: RSI, CCI, OBV, Momentum
In the indicator options you can choose the indicator from pull-down menu.
How it works?
- On each bar it finds last 10 higher and lower Pivot Points (PP) for the indicator.
- from first bar to 10. Pivot Point it searchs if a trend line is possible
- for each PP it starts searching from the last PP .
- it checks if drawing a trend line possible or not and also it's broken or not
- if it's broken then optionally it shows broken trend lines as dotted (or you can option not to see broken lines)
- if it finds a continues trend line then it stops searhing more and draw trend line, this is done by checking angles (I did this to make the script faster, otherwise you may get error because of it needs time more than .2sec)
- the script makes this process for each PP
- then shows the trend lines
P.S. it may need 3-10 seconds when you added the script to the chart at first (because of calculations)
Trend lines for CCI:
Trend Lines for OBV
Trend Lines for Momentum:

LOSS2PROFIT_RSI_STOCHTo check momentum of price
RSI- relative strength index
stoch- stochastic only %k
major levels 80,60,50,40,20
ema200- act as median and strength of momentum
SRSI Multi TFAs it states this is Satoshi RSI Multi Time Frame
Meaning you can now trade the HTF RSI momentum while on the LTF
so for instance I trade the 5m chart but using the m30 trend using this indicator
the multiple between the two values is 5 so id suggest you keep your multiple the same. So if you want to trade the H1 chart you would set the TREND or "HTF Fast Line" to 300.
Time frames are in integers and run all the way up the "D"
ex
5 min = 5
30 min = 30
60 min = 60
H4 = 240
etc.
you also have
D2, D3
W
M
etc.
best used with EW in mind or some other pattern analysis as this would act as CONFLUENCE to an idea you already entered OR as CONFIRMATION to an idea OR some form of MA such as TrendAID
There are signals in regards to momentum , short/long, and a signal i created that uses a series of other criteria to fire.
The strategy is easy for this is as folllowed
SRSI > Fast Line (cyan) and Fast Line > HTF Fast Line(gold) and Med Line(red) > HTF Fast Line == LONG or longs of interest NOTE WHEN THE TREND IS STRONG YOUR HTF slow line will RANGE above or below 50.
VICE versa
You will notice the cyan FAST LINE will LEAD , confirmation of trend reversal is when SRSI breaks above and the above follows.
CHEERS.
[BTX] TRIX + MA combined indicator (open version)This indicator combines TRIX and MA of TRIX in one. You can choose which type of moving average line to be used (EMA or SMA).
Default values are 12 periods for TRIX and 10 periods for MA/TRIX, which helps better response to price movement.
This indicator can use in all markets, all timeframes. This is an update to my indicator, which is a protected script. You can find it at the link: .
What is the TRIX (Triple Exponential Average) indicator?
TRIX is a momentum oscillator that displays the percent rate of change of a triple exponentially smoothed moving average. It was developed in the early 1980s by Jack Hutson, an editor for 'Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities' magazine. With its triple smoothing, TRIX is designed to filter out insignificant price movements. Chartists can use TRIX to generate signals similar to MACD. A signal line can be applied to look for signal line crossovers. A directional bias can be determined with the absolute level. Bullish and bearish divergences can be used to anticipate reversals.

🥢Crypto-Sticks: Anchored Momentum v1.0 by Cryptorhythms🥢Crypto-Sticks™: Anchored Momentum (Rudy Stefenel)
A new series of indicators brought to you by Cryptorhythms...giving you an alternate look at your trusted favorites! Follow me, there are still 2 dozen Crypto-Sticks indicators planned - all will be released in public library.
🚀Indicator Specific Info
🐻Thanks to Lazybear for posting the original AM code I updated to create this indicator! (give that man a follow/thumbs-up, hes a legend!)
New Crypto-Sticks option is an EMA of the average signal line output. Eventually I will go back and update the previous indicators with this feature as well!
In this indicator there is an option to smooth the raw momentum or not. Here's an example of smoothed momentum:
Heiken Ashi candles (default) adds some more clear trend changing points. HA example here:
Volume weighting the HA candles adds a different dimension to the indicator which I have to explore more fully. VW
adds too much noise in my opinion. I left there in case you want to experiment. An example of VW+HA:
💭Please leave me any ideas or feedback you have!
🚫If you use volume weighting you should be on heiken candles.
🚀Crypto-Sticks General Info
🚧This series isnt polished 100%, and I have some more options I will add in the future. But for now, I want to just release them, as I am not sure when I will have the time to put more work into them (many other big projects I am working on).
📊Its basically reinterpretations of all your favorite indicators. I calculate the values a little bit differently than normal, but the end result is creating a candlestick chart (for the indicator!). Then I added the option to plot them as Heiken Ashi candles to smooth out noise and make signaling easier. I recommend using the indicator on this setting.
🔊Lastly I implemented a Volume Weighting system for them all which simply integrates volume into the formulas for these indicators. For the most part this feature is experimental and doesn't provide huge utility (yet - I have other ways I want to try it as well - just no time). Though on some of the indicators it already shows great promise.
👍Enjoying this indicator or find it useful? Please give me a like and follow! There are many more indicators to be released in this series, not to mention I post crypto analysis and other free indicators regularly.

Blair Momentum IndicatorThis is a very interesting momentum indicator for everyone to take a look at. To understand the concept behind it please see my previous idea "Adaptive Derivative Analysis", and the short Bitcoin prediction that was concurrent.
At its core this indicator takes the derivative of a custom adaptive moving average and adaptively weights the results. This is what the big black line is, the "Blair Line". When it is above 0 there is upward momentum, and downward when it is below 0. However, simply watching the movement of the Blair line doesn't seem especially helpful, so to aid the eye there are clouds around it. 2 fast clouds, 1 medium cloud, and 1 slow cloud. When the Blair line goes under a cloud it is a good time to sell, when it goes above a cloud it is a good time to buy. The red and orange clouds provide the quickest signals about the behavior of the momentum. The yellow cloud provides more certainty. When all three of these clouds align on the same side of the Blair line, it is a very good indication about the current momentum in the market. The Blue cloud is the slowest cloud, and provides the greatest confluence. Since the market can be in varying degrees of volatility there is a button to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator, called the "Roughness". When the roughness is at its maximum of 6 the indicator takes lots of weight for the most recent price movement, when the roughness is at a minimum of 1 it only looks at really long term behavior. The indicator seems to be the best at a roughness between 2 to 4. Since this is a momentum indicator it will not tell you what is the best time to buy at the lowest and sell at the highest, but it will give you a very good idea about the momentum in the markets, and much more importantly when the momentum will reverse.
It is recommended to use this indicator at a timeframe or two higher than where you are trading for a good overview. If you are trading on the 5 minute charts, look at the Blair momentum indicator of the 1 hour to 2 hour charts. If you trade on the daily charts then look at the weekly Blair momentum.
The power of this tool is in its ability to show where the momentum is changing, a long time before the price action changes. Please apply this indicator to the charts you are working with and see its predictive behavior around breakouts and sideways action.
Happy trading! Always feel free to message me with questions.
McClellan Oscillator [LazyBear]Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues. Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator.
As the formula reveals, the McClellan Oscillator is a momentum indicator that works similar to MACD.
McClellan Oscillator signals can be generated with breadth thrusts, centerline crossovers, overall levels and divergences.
I have added the following options:
- Can choose Advancing/Declining issues of any market. Default is NYSE.
- Can show the EMAs and/or oscillator.
- Ratio Adjusted Calculation mode (as explained in the stockcharts link below) or default mode.
- Can use custom timeframe. Default is chart timeframe.

Thanks @mpinky for pointing out the StockCharts version of this oscillator.
Magnificent 7 OscillatorThe Magnificent 7 Oscillator is a sophisticated momentum-based technical indicator designed to analyze the collective performance of the seven largest technology companies in the U.S. stock market (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Meta). This indicator incorporates established momentum factor research and provides three distinct analytical modes: absolute momentum tracking, equal-weighted market comparison, and relative performance analysis. The tool integrates five different oscillator methodologies and includes advanced breadth analysis capabilities.
Theoretical Foundation
Momentum Factor Research
The indicator's foundation rests on seminal momentum research in financial markets. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) demonstrated that stocks with strong price performance over 3-12 month periods tend to continue outperforming in subsequent periods¹. This momentum effect was later incorporated into formal factor models by Carhart (1997), who extended the Fama-French three-factor model to include a momentum factor (UMD - Up Minus Down)².
The momentum calculation methodology follows the academic standard:
Momentum(t) = / P(t-n) × 100
Where P(t) is the current price and n is the lookback period.
The focus on the "Magnificent 7" stocks reflects the increasing market concentration observed in recent years. Fama and French (2015) noted that a small number of large-cap stocks can drive significant market movements due to their substantial index weights³. The combined market capitalization of these seven companies often exceeds 25% of the total S&P 500, making their collective momentum a critical market indicator.
Indicator Architecture
Core Components
1. Data Collection and Processing
The indicator employs robust data collection with error handling for missing or invalid security data. Each stock's momentum is calculated independently using the specified lookback period (default: 14 periods).
2. Composite Oscillator Calculation
Following Fama-French factor construction methodology, the indicator offers two weighting schemes:
- Equal Weight: Each active stock receives identical weighting (1/n)
- Market Cap Weight: Reserved for future enhancement
3. Oscillator Transformation Functions
The indicator provides five distinct oscillator types, each with established technical analysis foundations:
a) Momentum Oscillator (Default)

Operational Modes
Mode 1: Magnificent 7 Analysis
Tracks the collective momentum of the seven constituent stocks. This mode is optimal for:
- Technology sector analysis
- Growth stock momentum assessment
- Large-cap performance tracking
Mode 2: S&P 500 Equal Weight Comparison
Analyzes momentum using an equal-weighted S&P 500 reference (typically RSP ETF). This mode provides:
- Broader market momentum context
- Size-neutral market analysis
- Comparison baseline for relative performance
Mode 3: Relative Performance Analysis
Calculates the momentum differential between Magnificent 7 and S&P 500 Equal Weight. This mode enables:
- Sector rotation analysis
- Style factor assessment (Growth vs. Value)
- Relative strength identification
Formula: Relative Performance = MAG7_Momentum - SP500EW_Momentum
Signal Generation and Thresholds
Signal Classification
The indicator generates three signal states:
- Bullish: Oscillator > Upper Threshold (default: +2.0%)
- Bearish: Oscillator < Lower Threshold (default: -2.0%)
- Neutral: Oscillator between thresholds
Relative Performance Signals
In relative performance mode, specialized thresholds apply:
- Outperformance: Relative momentum > +1.0%
- Underperformance: Relative momentum < -1.0%
Alert System
Comprehensive alert conditions include:
- Threshold crossovers (bullish/bearish signals)
- Zero-line crosses (momentum direction changes)
- Relative performance shifts
- Breadth Analysis Component
The indicator incorporates market breadth analysis, calculating the percentage of constituent stocks with positive momentum. This feature provides insights into:
- Strong Breadth (>60%): Broad-based momentum
- Weak Breadth (<40%): Narrow momentum leadership
- Mixed Breadth (40-60%): Neutral momentum distribution
Visual Design and User Interface
Theme-Adaptive Display
The indicator automatically adjusts color schemes for dark and light chart themes, ensuring optimal visibility across different user preferences.
Professional Data Table
A comprehensive data table displays:
- Current oscillator value and percentage

- Neutral conditions (default: Material Blue)
- Bullish signals (default: Material Green)
- Bearish signals (default: Material Red)
Practical Applications
Portfolio Management
- Sector Allocation: Use relative performance mode to time technology sector exposure
- Risk Management: Monitor breadth deterioration as early warning signal
- Entry/Exit Timing: Utilize threshold crossovers for position sizing decisions
Market Analysis
- Trend Identification: Zero-line crosses indicate momentum regime changes
- Divergence Analysis: Compare MAG7 performance against broader market
- Volatility Assessment: Oscillator range and frequency provide volatility insights
Strategy Development
- Factor Timing: Implement growth factor timing strategies
- Momentum Strategies: Develop systematic momentum-based approaches
- Risk Parity: Use breadth metrics for risk-adjusted portfolio construction
Configuration Guidelines
Parameter Selection
- Momentum Period (5-100): Shorter periods (5-20) for tactical analysis, longer periods (50-100) for strategic assessment
- Smoothing Period (1-50): Higher values reduce noise but increase lag
- Thresholds: Adjust based on historical volatility and strategy requirements
Timeframe Considerations
- Daily Charts: Optimal for swing trading and medium-term analysis
- Weekly Charts: Suitable for long-term trend analysis
- Intraday Charts: Useful for short-term tactical decisions
Limitations and Considerations
Market Concentration Risk
The indicator's focus on seven stocks creates concentration risk. During periods of significant rotation away from large-cap technology stocks, the indicator may not represent broader market conditions.
Momentum Persistence
While momentum effects are well-documented, they are not permanent. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) noted momentum reversal effects over longer time horizons (2-5 years).
Correlation Dynamics
During market stress, correlations among the constituent stocks may increase, reducing the diversification benefits and potentially amplifying signal intensity.
Performance Metrics and Backtesting
The indicator includes hidden plots for comprehensive backtesting:
- Individual stock momentum values
- Composite breadth percentage
- S&P 500 Equal Weight momentum
- Relative performance calculations
These metrics enable quantitative strategy development and historical performance analysis.

Volatility Based Momentum with MTF Screener by QTX Algo SystemsVolatility Based Momentum with MTF Screener by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
This indicator builds on our original Volatility Based Momentum tool by integrating a Multi Time Frame (MTF) Screener that provides real-time, cross-market momentum analysis. It dynamically adjusts momentum signals using adaptive volatility measurements, ensuring that signals reflect true market strength across various timeframes and assets.
How It Works
Core Momentum Analysis:
The indicator uses a double‐smoothed SMI combined with a Price – Moving Average Ratio (PMARP) to assess short-term momentum. These metrics filter out noise and generate per-candle signals based on sustained market energy.
Adaptive Volatility Measurement:
An adaptive volatility factor—derived from a Bollinger Band Width Percentile (BBWP) calculation—scales the momentum readings, ensuring that only strong signals in a sufficiently volatile market are considered.
MTF Screener Integration:
The MTF Screener scans multiple timeframes simultaneously, confirming that a momentum signal is consistent across different market views. This extra layer of screening reduces false signals and helps ensure that the detected momentum is robust and reliable.
Real-Time Visual Feedback:
Dynamic visual cues, such as color changes and signal markers, indicate when the momentum and volatility align, providing a clear, actionable overview.
Why It’s Different and Valuable
This indicator isn’t just a simple overlay of standard momentum and volatility measures—it’s a multi-layered system that verifies signals across multiple timeframes. The integrated MTF Screener provides broader context and cross-validation, making it a more dependable tool for confirming trend strength. This level of depth in analysis offers enhanced clarity and helps traders make more confident decisions compared to using conventional indicators in isolation.
How to Use
Review Per-Candle Signals: Observe the momentum signals generated on your chart and note when they are confirmed by the adaptive volatility measure.
Cross-Check with MTF Screener: Ensure that signals appear consistently across multiple timeframes before taking action.
Adjust Settings for Your Style: Customize the volatility threshold, and MTF settings to match your specific trading approach.
Integrate with Your Strategy: Use the insights from this indicator alongside other analysis tools to optimize your entry and exit points.
