Momentum is created when a security makes a large move on higher-than-average volume. Momentum shows the rate of change in price movement over a period of time to help investors determine the strength of a trend.
This indicator will create a green spike once price advances 4% and is trading above the 50-day average trading volume. However, if the stock begins to breakdown (-4% or greater on above average volume), a red spike will be created.
These green and red spikes represent a change in momentum that occurs in the selected security.
This indictor should be used in 2 ways:
1: What are the charecteristics of this stock? Does it breakdown shortly after a momentum spike? or does the security trend in orderly manner after a momentum spike?
2: Investers should use this indicator to determine the strength of a momentum breakout in real time. Has the stock made a large move, but with no significant volume?
Customization:
The Percentage move, and average daily volume can be changed as well as colors.
