Strategy Myth-Busting #11 - TrendMagic+SqzMom+CDV - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our 11th one is an automated version of the "Magic Trading Strategy : Most Profitable Indicator : 1 Minute Scalping Strategy Crypto" strategy from "Fx MENTOR US" who doesn't make any official claims but given the indicators he was using, it looked like on the surface that this might actually work. The strategy author uses this on the 1 minute and 3 minute timeframes on mostly FOREX and Heiken Ashi candles but as the title of his strategy indicates is designed for Crypto. So who knows..
To backtest this accurately and get a better picture we resolved the Heiken Ashi bars to standard candlesticks . Even so, I was unable to sustain any consistency in my results on either the 1 or 3 min time frames and both FOREX and Crypto. 10000% Busted.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
Trend Magic by KivancOzbilgic
Squeeze Momentum by LazyBear
Cumulative Delta Volume by LonesomeTheBlue
Trend Magic consists of two main indicators to validate momentum and volatility. It uses an ATR like a trailing Stop to determine the overarching momentum and CCI as a means to validate volatility. Together these are used as the primary indicator in this strategy. When the CCI is above 0 this is confirmation of a volatility event is occurring with affirmation based upon current momentum (ATR).
The CCI volatility indicator gets confirmation by the the Cumulative Delta Volume indicator which calculates the difference between buying and selling pressure. Volume Delta is calculated by taking the difference of the volume that traded at the offer price and the volume that traded at the bid price. The more volume that is traded at the bid price, the more likely there is momentum in the market.
And lastly the Squeeze Momentum indicator which uses a combination of Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels and Momentum are used to again confirm momentum and volatility. During periods of low volatility, Bollinger bands narrow and trade inside Keltner channels. They can only contract so much before it can’t contain the energy it’s been building. When the Bollinger bands come back out, it explodes higher. When we see the histogram bar exploding into green above 0 that is a clear confirmation of increased momentum and volatile. The opposite (red) below 0 is true when there are low periods. This indicator is used as a means to really determine when there is premium selling plays going on leading to big directional movements again confirming the positive or negative momentum and volatility direction.
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.

Reverse Stochastic Momentum Index On ChartIntroducing the Reverse Stochastic Momentum Index "On Chart" version
According to Investopedia :
“The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is a more refined version of the stochastic oscillator, employing a wider range of values and having a higher sensitivity to closing prices.”
The SMI is considered a refinement of the stochastic oscillator developed by William Blau and introduced in 1993 in an attempt to provide a more reliable indicator, less subject to false swings.
It calculates the distance of the current closing price as it relates to the median of the high/low range of price.
The SMI has a normal range of values between +100 and -100.
When the present closing price is higher than the median, or midpoint value of the high/low range, the resulting value is positive.
When the current closing price is lower than that of the midpoint of the high/low range, the SMI has a negative value.
Here I have reverse engineered the SMI formula to derive 2 functions.
One function calculates the chart price at which the SMI will reach a particular SMI scale value.
The second function calculates the chart price at which the SMI will crossover its signal line.
I have employed those functions here to give the "crossover" price levels for :
Upper alert level ( default 40, color : aqua blue )
Mid-Line ( default value 0, color : white )
Lower alert level ( default -40, color : purple )
Signal line ( default 13, colors : bright red & lime green )
And also to give the SMI eq price ( colors : red & green )
The midline, upper and lower alert levels return the closing price which would make SMI equal to their respective values
The user can infer from this that.....
Closing above these prices will cause the Stochastic Momentum Index to cross above the associated levels
Closing below these prices will cause the Stochastic Momentum Index to cross below the associated levels
Signal line returns the closing price where Stochastic Momentum Index is equal to its signal line
The user can infer from this that.....
Closing above this price will cause the Stochastic Momentum Index to cross above the signal line
Closing below this price will cause the Stochastic Momentum Index to cross below the signal line
SMI eq price returns the closing price which would make the SMI equal to its previous value
The user can infer from this that.....
Closing above this price will cause the Stochastic Momentum Index to increase
Closing below this price will cause the Stochastic Momentum Index to decrease
Note : all returned prices have a returned value filter to replace any values below zero with zero to help prevent auto focus issues.
These levels are displayed as plotted lines on the chart and also as an optional infobox with choice of displayed info.
This allows the user to see directly on the chart the interplay between the various crossover levels and price action and to precisely plan entries, exits and stops for their SMI based trades.
Traditionally traders and analysts will consider:
Positives values above 40 indicate a bullish trend
Negative values below -40 indicate a bearish trend .
Common traditional ways to derive signals from the SMI :
When the SMI crosses below -40 and then moves back above it, a buy signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses above +40 and then moves back below it, a sell signal is generated.
When the SMI line crosses above the signal line. A signal to buy is generated
When the SMI line crosses below the signal line signal to sell is generated.
When the SMI crosses above the zeroline, signal line and the SMI eq level many interpret that as a full bullish bias signal and take trades only in that direction, vice versa for bearish bias.
Traders also look for divergences between the SMI and price action.
The SMI is often used in conjunction with the Chande Momentum Oscillator or R squared indicator to determine overall market trendiness where the SMI is used to determine the direction of the trend, and also with volume indicators to show if the momentum carries significant selling or buying pressure.
Price Action and 3 EMAs Momentum plus Sessions FilterThis indicator plots on the chart the parameters and signals of the Price Action and 3 EMAs Momentum plus Sessions Filter Algorithmic Strategy. The strategy trades based on time-series (absolute) and relative momentum of price close, highs, lows and 3 EMAs.
I am still learning PS and therefore I have only been able to write the indicator up to the Signal generation. I plan to expand the indicator to Entry Signals as well as the full Strategy.
The strategy works best on EURUSD in the 15 minutes TF during London and New York sessions with 1 to 1 TP and SL of 30 pips with lots resulting in 3% risk of the account per trade. I have already written the full strategy in another language and platform and back tested it for ten years and it was profitable for 7 of the 10 years with average profit of 15% p.a which can be easily increased by increasing risk per trade. I have been trading it live in that platform for over two years and it is profitable.
Contributions from experienced PS coders in completing the Indicator as well as writing the Strategy and back testing it on Trading View will be appreciated.
STRATEGY AND INDICATOR PARAMETERS
Three periods of 12, 48 and 96 in the 15 min TF which are equivalent to 3, 12 and 24 hours i.e (15 min * period / 60 min) are the foundational inputs for all the parameters of the PA & 3 EMAs Momentum + SF Algo Strategy and its Indicator.
3 EMAs momentum parameters and conditions
• FastEMA = ema of 12 periods
• MedEMA = ema of 48 periods
• SlowEMA = ema of 96 periods
• All the EMAs analyse price close for up to 96 (15 min periods) equivalent to 24 hours
• There’s Upward EMA momentum if price close > FastEMA and FastEMA > MedEMA and MedEMA > SlowEMA
• There’s Downward EMA momentum if price close < FastEMA and FastEMA < MedEMA and MedEMA < SlowEMA
PA momentum parameters and conditions
• HH = Highest High of 48 periods from 1st closed bar before current bar
• LL = Lowest Low of 48 periods from 1st closed bar from current bar
• Previous HH = Highest High of 84 periods from 12th closed bar before current bar
• Previous LL = Lowest Low of 84 periods from 12th closed bar before current bar
• All the HH & LL and prevHH & prevLL are within the 96 periods from the 1st closed bar before current bar and therefore indicative of momentum during the past 24 hours
• There’s Upward PA momentum if price close > HH and HH > prevHH and LL > prevLL
• There’s Downward PA momentum if price close < LL and LL < prevLL and HH < prevHH
Signal conditions and Status (BuySignal, SellSignal or Neutral)
• The strategy generates Buy or Sell Signals if both 3 EMAs and PA momentum conditions are met for each direction and these occur during the London and New York sessions
• BuySignal if price close > FastEMA and FastEMA > MedEMA and MedEMA > SlowEMA and price close > HH and HH > prevHH and LL > prevLL and timeinrange (LDN&NY) else Neutral
• SellSignal if price close < FastEMA and FastEMA < MedEMA and MedEMA < SlowEMA and price close < LL and LL < prevLL and HH < prevHH and timeinrange (LDN&NY) else Neutral
Entry conditions and Status (EnterBuy, EnterSell or Neutral)(NOT CODED YET)
• ENTRY IS NOT AT THE SIGNAL BAR but at the current bar tick price retracement to FastEMA after the signal
• EnterBuy if current bar tick price <= FastEMA and current bar tick price > prevHH at the time of the Buy Signal
• EnterSell if current bar tick price >= FastEMA and current bar tick price > prevLL at the time of the Sell Signal
Ross-Style Momentum — StudyRoss-Style Momentum — Study
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability breakout setups inspired by Ross Cameron’s momentum trading style. It combines multiple filters and confirmations to highlight strong long opportunities, while giving traders full control over visibility and thresholds.
Core Features:
Price Range Filter: Only signals when price is between a defined min/max range (ideal for small-cap momentum).
VWAP Alignment: Ensures trades are biased to the long side only when price is above VWAP (optional).
MACD Momentum Check: Requires a fresh MACD bullish crossover within a user-defined lookback.
RSI & ATR Filters: Prevents chasing overextended moves (RSI ceiling) and ignores low-volatility tickers (ATR floor).
Relative Volume (RVOL): Confirms unusual trading activity with minimum RVOL thresholds.
Breakout & Volume Spike: Detects flat-top/base breakouts with volume expansion.
Higher Lows Option: Optional requirement for a constructive higher-lows pattern before breakout.
Float Filter: User-provided float value to avoid large-float stocks if desired.
Visual Tools:
Optional VWAP, Base High/Low, and RVOL plots.
Long setup markers (green labels under qualifying bars).
Background highlight when all conditions align.
Real-time dashboard (top-right) showing pass/fail status of each filter.
Alerts:
Triggers an alert when a full long setup condition is met.
This study does not place trades; it is intended as a signal and confirmation tool for discretionary traders who want to visually validate Ross-style momentum breakout conditions.
Katz Candle Momentum Reversal Indicator v4.1Katz Candle Momentum Reversal Indicator (CMRI) v4.1
Overview
The Katz CMRI is a comprehensive trading indicator designed to identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and potential market reversals. It combines several different concepts into a single, cohesive visual tool.
At its core, the indicator uses a custom Line Break chart calculation to filter out market noise and a Heikin-Ashi-style formula to smooth price action. This combination helps to more clearly define the underlying trend. The main output is a dynamic, multi-colored trend line accompanied by various signals that appear directly on your chart. It's designed to help traders stay with the trend while also spotting key moments of expansion, contraction, and potential reversal.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator has several key visual components:
Main Trend Line: This is the thick, central line that changes color.
Green: Indicates a bullish (upward) trend.
Red: Indicates a bearish (downward) trend.
Faded/Light Colors: Suggest a potential loss of momentum or a pullback within the trend.
White: Signals a significant break in the trend structure.
Trend Cloud: The shaded area between the main trend line and the white midline (mid). A green cloud shows the trend is above the midpoint, while a red cloud shows it's below.
Upper/Lower Bands: The aqua (Trend Up) and yellow (Trend Down) lines represent the recent highs and lows of the established trend. When price is pushing against these bands, it signals trend strength.
Background Colors:
Gray: A "Contraction Zone." This indicates that the trend is losing momentum and consolidating, warning of potential chop or a reversal.
Blue: An "Expansion Event." This highlights a sudden increase in momentum in the direction of the trend.
Signal Shapes:
Diamonds: These are the primary entry signals. A green diamond below a candle signals a potential long entry, while a red diamond above a candle signals a potential short entry.
⬆️⬇️ Arrows: These are secondary momentum signals. They can be used as confirmation that the trend is continuing.
Trading Strategy & Rules
This strategy uses the primary diamond signals for entries and trend changes for exits.
Long Trade (Buy) Rules
Entry: Wait for a green diamond to appear below the price candles. For confirmation, the main trend line should turn solid green, and the price should ideally be above the white midline.
Exit:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below the recent swing low or below the candle where the green diamond appeared.
Take Profit: Consider exiting the trade when a red diamond appears above the candles, signaling a potential trend reversal. Alternatively, a trader might exit if the background turns gray (Contraction Zone), indicating the bullish momentum has faded.
Short Trade (Sell) Rules
Entry: Wait for a red diamond to appear above the price candles. For confirmation, the main trend line should turn solid red, and the price should ideally be below the white midline.
Exit:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss above the recent swing high or above the candle where the red diamond appeared.
Take Profit: Consider exiting the trade when a green diamond appears below the candles. A gray "Contraction Zone" can also serve as an early warning to exit as bearish momentum wanes.
Indicator Filters Explained
The indicator includes a "Trend Filter Type" setting that allows you to adjust its sensitivity. This can help reduce false signals in choppy markets.
Raw: This is the most sensitive setting. It will generate a trend change signal as soon as the basic conditions are met. Use this for scalping or in strongly trending markets, but be aware that it may produce more false signals.
OutStep: This is the default, balanced setting. It adds an extra layer of confirmation by requiring the main trend line itself to be moving in the direction of the new trend. For example, a new green signal will only be confirmed if the trend line's value is higher than its previous value. This helps filter out weak signals.
FullStep: This is the most conservative and filtered setting. It includes the "OutStep" logic and adds further conditions related to the upper and lower trend bands. This setting will produce the fewest signals, but they are generally the highest quality, making it suitable for swing trading or avoiding choppy market conditions.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The signals generated by this indicator are for educational and informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for any trading decisions you make. Use this indicator at your own risk.
MACD ProThe MACD Pro is a modern take on the classic MACD, designed to give traders deeper insights into market momentum, trend conditions, and potential turning points. While it keeps the standard MACD foundation, it introduces a few enhancements to make it more adaptive and visually intuitive.
At its core, the indicator calculates the traditional MACD line, Signal line and Histogram. The histogram can be optionally displayed.
One of the things that set this version apart is the addition of the MACD Leader, an optional feature that makes the MACD more responsive to price action. By applying an adaptive smoothing factor (Leader Sensitivity), the Leader line can provide earlier momentum cues compared to the standard MACD and help anticipate shifts before they become obvious on a standard MACD indicator.
Another enhancement is the regime-based color system for the MACD line. Instead of simply coloring based on the MACD or histogram itself, this indicator identifies the overall market regime using momentum and trend strength conditions.
Bullish Regime: Momentum is positive and trend strength is above average.
Bearish Regime: Momentum is negative and trend strength is above average.
Sideways Regime: Momentum remains weak and within noise levels.
This regime detection allows the MACD line to visually adapt, giving traders an extra layer of context beyond standard MACD signals to blend momentum analysis with market conditions, helping distinguish between trending and ranging environments.
buy sell ultra systemWhat it is
EMA-POC Momentum System Ultra combines a proven trend stack (EMA 20/50/238), a price-of-control layer (POC via Bar-POC or VWAP alternative), and a momentum trigger (RSI) to surface higher-quality entries only when multiple, independent conditions align. This is not a cosmetic mashup; each component gates the others.
How components work together
Trend (EMA 20/50/238): Defines short/medium/long bias and filters counter-trend signals.
POC (Bar-POC or Alt-POC/VWAP): Locates the most-traded/weighted price area; a neutral band around POC helps avoid chop.
Control background: Above POC → buyers likely in control; below → sellers.
Momentum (RSI): Entry arrows print only when RSI confirms with trend and price location vs POC; optional “cross 50” requirement reduces noise.
Optional HTF trend: Confluence with a higher-timeframe EMA stack for stricter filtering.
Why it’s original/useful
Signals require confluence of (1) EMA trend stack, (2) POC location and neutral-zone filtering, (3) momentum confirmation, (4) optional slope and distance-to-POC checks, and (5) optional HTF trend. This reduces false positives compared with using any layer in isolation.
How to use
Markets/TFs: Built for XAUUSD (Gold) and US30. Works 1m–1h for intraday; 2h–4h for swing.
Entries:
Long: EMA stack bullish, price above POC, not in neutral band, RSI condition true → “Buy” arrow.
Short: Opposite conditions → “Sell” arrow.
Stops/Targets (suggested):
Initial stop beyond POC/neutral band or recent swing.
First target around 1R; trail with EMA20/50 or structure breaks.
Settings to tune:
POC Mode: Bar-POC (highest-volume bar’s close over lookback) or Alt-POC (VWAP).
Neutral Band %: 0.10–0.35 typical intraday.
Min distance from POC: 0.10–0.50% helps avoid low-RR entries right at POC.
RSI: Choose “cross 50” for stricter triggers or simple >/< 50 for more signals.
HTF trend: Turn on for extra confluence.
Alerts:
Buy Signal and Sell Signal (separate), or one Combined Buy/Sell alert.
Set to “Once per bar close” if you want only confirmed arrows.
Repainting / limitations
Shapes can move until bar close (standard Pine behavior) when using intrabar conditions; final confirmation at close. No system guarantees profitability—forward test and adapt to your market/instrument.

SMI Base-Trigger Bullish Re-acceleration (Higher High)Description
What it does
This indicator highlights a two-step bullish pattern using Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) plus an ATR distance filter:
1. Base (orange) – Marks a momentum “reset.” A base prints when SMI %K crosses up through %D while %K is below the Base level (default -70). The base stores the base price and starts a waiting window.
2. Trigger (green) – Confirms momentum and price strength. A trigger prints only if, before the timeout window ends:
• SMI %K crosses up through %D again,
• %K is above the Trigger level (default -60),
• Close > Base Price, and
• Price has advanced at least Min ATR multiple (default 1.0× the 14-period ATR) above the base price.
A dashed green line connects the base to the trigger.
Why it’s useful
It seeks a bullish divergence / reacceleration: momentum recovers from deeply negative territory, then price reclaims and exceeds the base by a volatility-aware margin. This helps filter out weak “oversold bounces.”
Signals
• Base ▲ (orange): Potential setup begins.
• Trigger ▲ (green): Confirmation—momentum and price agree.
Inputs (key ones)
• %K Length / EMA Smoothing / %D Length: SMI construction.
• Base when %K < (default -70): depth required for a valid reset.
• Trigger when %K > (default -60): strength required on confirmation.
• Base timeout (days) (default 100): maximum look-ahead window.
• ATR Length (default 14) and Min ATR multiple (default 1.0): price must exceed the base by this ATR-scaled distance.
How traders use it (example rules)
• Entry: On the Trigger.
• Risk: A common approach is a stop somewhere between the base price and a multiple of ATR below trigger; or use your system’s volatility stop.
• Exits: Your choice—trend MA cross, fixed R multiple, or structure-based levels.
Notes & tips
• Works best on liquid symbols and mid-to-higher timeframes (reduce noise).
• Increase Min ATR multiple to demand stronger price confirmation; tighten or widen Base/Trigger levels to fit your market.
• This script plots signals only; convert to a strategy to backtest entries/exits.
JHW Volume Based Buy and Sell MomentumThe JHW Volume-Based Buy and Sell Momentum indicator is a custom momentum oscillator designed to capture market sentiment based on volume dynamics and price rate of change (ROC). It aims to identify bullish or bearish momentum by analyzing how price reacts to increasing or decreasing trading volume.
Core Logic:
The indicator calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) of the closing price.
It then accumulates this ROC separately based on whether the current volume is lower or higher than the previous bar:
If volume decreases, the ROC is added to a "negative volume index" accumulator.
If volume increases, the ROC is added to a "positive volume index" accumulator.
These two accumulators are combined to form a net momentum line.
Smoothing:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to both accumulators over a user-defined period (default: 25 bars).
The sum of these smoothed values forms the signal line.
Visualization:
The indicator plots:
The net momentum line (yellow).
The smoothed signal line (blue).
The area between the two lines is filled with color:
Yellow when momentum is above the signal (bullish).
Blue when momentum is below the signal (bearish).
Bar colors are also adjusted to reflect the current momentum state.
Use Case:
This indicator helps traders:
Detect volume-driven momentum shifts.
Identify potential buy or sell zones based on volume behavior.
Confirm trends or spot early reversals.

Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)
This indicator was designed to solve a common trader's problem: chart clutter from dozens of indicators that often contradict each other. The Volatility & Momentum Nexus ( VMN ) is not just another indicator; it's a complete analysis system that synthesizes four essential market pillars into a single, clean, and intuitive visual signal.
The goal of VMN is to identify high-probability moments where a period of accumulation (low volatility) is about to erupt into an explosive move, confirmed by trend, momentum, and volume.
VMN analyzes the real-time confluence of four critical elements:
The Trend (The Main Filter): A 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sets the overall context. The indicator will only look for buy signals above this line (in an uptrend) and sell signals below it (in a downtrend). The line's color changes for quick visualization.
Volatility (Energy Accumulation): Using Bollinger Bands Width (BBW), the indicator identifies "Squeeze" periods—when the price contracts and builds up energy. These zones are marked with a yellow background on the chart, signaling that a major move is imminent.
Momentum (The Trigger): An RSI (Relative Strength Index) acts as the trigger. A signal is only validated if momentum confirms the direction of the breakout (e.g., RSI > 55 for a buy), ensuring we enter the market with force.
Volume (The Final Confirmation): No breakout move is credible without volume. VMN checks if the volume at the time of the signal is significantly higher than its recent average, adding a vital layer of confirmation.
Green Arrow (Buy Signal): Appears ONLY when ALL the following conditions are met simultaneously:
Price is above the 100 EMA (Bullish Trend).
The chart is exiting a Squeeze zone (yellow background on the previous bar).
Price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band.
RSI is above the buy threshold (default 55).
Volume is above average.
Red Arrow (Sell Signal): Appears ONLY when all the opposite conditions are met.
Do not treat signals as blind commands to trade. They are high-probability confirmations.
Look for signals near key Support/Resistance levels for an even higher success rate.
Always set a Stop Loss (e.g., below the low of the signal candle or below the lower Bollinger Band for a buy).
All parameters (EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands lengths, thresholds, etc.) can be customized from the settings menu to adapt the indicator to any financial asset or timeframe.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Always perform your own analysis and backtesting before risking real capital.
Velocity + Momentum (SMA-Based)Velocity + Momentum (SMA-Based) is a clean, powerful oscillator that measures price acceleration using SMA-derived velocity and dual momentum signals. This tool is ideal for identifying directional shifts, exhaustion points, and early entries across any market or timeframe.
How It Works:
This indicator calculates velocity as the distance between the current close and a simple moving average of the open price. Then, it applies two smoothed moving averages to this velocity line:
• Internal Momentum (shorter-term smoothing)
• External Momentum (longer-term context, hidden by default)
The result is a layered view of how fast price is moving and whether that move is gaining or losing strength.
How to Use:
• The green/red histogram shows current velocity (positive = bullish, negative = bearish)
• The teal/maroon line tracks internal momentum and provides short-term signal turns
• The black/gray (hidden) line reflects external momentum and supports broader trend alignment
• Watch for crosses above/below the zero line for confirmation of directional strength
• Use the built-in alerts to catch real-time shifts in all three layers of movement: velocity, internal, and external
Why It's Useful:
• Detects subtle transitions before price structure changes
• Helps filter out noise by comparing short-term vs long-term motion
• Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, and trend-followers alike
• Pairs well with structure-based tools or price action zones
• Works on any asset and timeframe
This indicator simplifies momentum analysis by giving you actionable, multi-layered feedback on how price is accelerating — and when that’s likely to reverse.
Universal Sentiment Oscillator with Trade RecommendationsUniversal Sentiment Oscillator & Strategy Guide
Summary
This all-in-one indicator is designed to be a comprehensive co-pilot for your trading journey. It moves beyond simple buy/sell signals by analyzing the underlying market sentiment and providing a dynamic, risk-assessed guide of potential trading strategies. Whether you're a novice learning the ropes or an expert seeking confirmation, this tool provides a structured framework for making smarter, more informed decisions in stocks, options, and futures.
How It Works
The core of the indicator is the Sentiment Oscillator, which calculates a score from -5 (Extremely Bearish) to +5 (Extremely Bullish) on every bar. This isn't just a single measurement; it's a weighted aggregate of several key technical conditions:
Trend Analysis: Price position relative to the 20, 50, and 200 EMAs.
Momentum Analysis: The current RSI value.
Hybrid Analysis: The state of the MACD and its signal line.
These factors are intelligently combined and normalized to produce a single, intuitive sentiment score, giving you an at-a-glance understanding of the market's pulse.
Core Features
Dynamic Trade Recommendation Table:
The informational heart of the indicator. This on-chart table provides a list of potential trades perfectly aligned with the current sentiment score.
Risk-Ranked Strategies:
All suggested trades are logically ordered by risk, helping you quickly identify strategies that match your comfort level.
Adjusted Trade Suggestions:
The indicator analyzes sentiment momentum (the score vs. its signal line) to provide proactive, forward-looking trade ideas based on where the market might be heading next.
Customizable Trading Styles:
Tell the indicator if you are a Conservative, Neutral, or Aggressive trader, and the "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" will automatically tailor its recommendations to your personal risk preference.
Context-Aware Futures Mode:
When viewing a futures contract, enable this mode to switch all recommendations from stock/options to futures-specific actions (e.g., "Cautious Long," "Monitor Range").
Predictive Sentiment Cone:
Visualize the potential short-term path of sentiment based on current momentum, helping you anticipate future conditions.
Fully Customizable:
Every parameter—from EMA lengths to trade filters—can be adjusted, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your exact specifications.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is flexible and can be integrated into many trading systems. Here is a powerful, professional approach:
Top-Down Analysis (for Swing or Position Trading):
Establish the Trend: Start on the higher timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily). Use the oscillator's color and score to define the dominant, long-term market sentiment. You only want to look for trades that align with this macro trend.
Refine the Entry: Drop down to the medium timeframes (4-Hour, 1-Hour). Wait for the sentiment on these charts to come into alignment with the higher-timeframe trend. This pullback or consolidation is your "zone of interest."
Pinpoint the Execution: Move to a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-Minute). Use the Adjusted Trade Suggestion and Sentiment Momentum to find a precise entry as momentum begins to shift back in the direction of the primary trend. You can set alerts on the oscillator's zero-line for early warnings of a sentiment shift.
As a Confirmation Tool: If you have an existing trade idea, use the indicator to validate it. Does the sentiment score align with your bullish or bearish thesis? Does the momentum confirm that now is a good time to enter?
As an Idea Generation Tool: Unsure what to trade? Browse different assets and let the indicator's "Primary Trades" and "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" present you with a list of risk-assessed ideas that you can then investigate further.
Disclaimer: This is an analysis tool and should not be considered financial advice. All forms of trading involve substantial risk. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always perform your own due diligence and use this indicator as one component of a complete trading plan.

Golden Crossover Momentum Check📊 Golden Cross Momentum Screener — Summary
🔍 What It Does
This indicator identifies Golden Cross events — where the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, signaling a potential long-term trend reversal — and evaluates the momentum strength to help determine whether price is likely to:
Surge immediately (Group B), or
Retrace first (Group A)
It uses 5 momentum-confirming conditions to score the quality of the breakout and display a single label on the chart with a classification.
✅ Momentum Conditions Validated
RSI > 60 and rising – Indicates bullish buying pressure
MACD Histogram > 0 and rising – Confirms increasing momentum
Volume > 2× 20-day average – Validates participation on the breakout
ADX > 25 – Measures trend strength
Price is >5% above 200 EMA – Confirms price extension above long-term trend
Each passing condition adds 1 point to the momentum score (0–5).
📈 How to Use
Watch for a Golden Cross signal (triangle appears below candle)
If momentum score ≥ 4, the script labels the setup as:
"🚀 Surge Likely (Group B)" — consider immediate breakout entries
If score is 2–3, labeled:
"🔄 Pullback Likely (Group A)" — expect retest/consolidation before continuation
If score < 2, labeled:
"❌ No Momentum Confirmed" — avoid or wait for confirmation

Kinetic Price Momentum Oscillator📈 Kinetic Price Momentum Oscillator (Sri-PMO)
Author's Note:
This script is an educational and custom-adapted visualization based on the concept of the Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO). It is not a direct clone of any proprietary implementation, and it introduces enhancements such as timeframe sensitivity, customizable smoothings, multi-timeframe analysis, and visual trend meters.
🔍 Overview:
The Kinetic Price Momentum Oscillator (Kinetic-PMO) is a dynamic momentum indicator that analyzes price rate of change smoothed with dual exponential moving averages. It offers a clear view of momentum trends across multiple timeframes—the chart's current timeframe, the 1-hour timeframe, and the 1-day timeframe. It includes optional visual cues for zero-line crossovers, trend ribbon fills, and a daily trend meter.
🧮 Calculation Logic:
At its core, Kinetic-PMO calculates momentum by:
Measuring Rate of Change (ROC) over 1 bar.
Applying double EMA smoothing:
The first smoothing (len1) smooths the ROC.
The second smoothing (len2) smooths the result further.
This produces the main KPMO Line.
A third EMA (sigLen) is applied to the KPMO line to produce the Signal Line.
The formula includes a multiplier of 10 to scale values.

Edit
roc = ta.roc(source, 1)
kmo = ta.ema(10 * ta.ema(roc, len1), len2)
signal = ta.ema(kmo, sigLen)
To allow responsiveness across timeframes, the script provides sensitivity inputs (sensA, sensB, sensC) which dynamically scale the smoothing lengths for different contexts:
Intraday (current chart timeframe)
Hourly (1H)
Daily (1D)
🧭 Features:
✅ Multi-Timeframe Calculation:
Intraday: Based on current chart resolution
1H: PMO for the hourly trend
1D: Daily trend meter using KPMO structure
✅ Trend Identification:
Green if PMO is above Signal Line (bullish)
Red if PMO is below Signal Line (bearish)
Daily Trend Meter includes nuanced color mapping:
Lime = Bullish above zero
Orange = Bullish below zero
Red = Bearish below zero
Yellow = Bearish above zero
✅ Custom Visual Enhancements:
Optional filled ribbons between KPMO and Signal
Optional zero-line crossover background highlight
Compact daily trend meter displayed as a color-coded shape
🛠 Customization Parameters:
Input Description
Primary Smoothing Controls ROC smoothing depth (1st EMA)

This indicator plots clean entry arrows—no background shading, no clutter—so you can trade only in the high-probability regime:
Trend Filter: 200-period exponential moving average
Momentum Filter: RSI(14) smoothed over N bars, offset by 50 to create a zero-line
Long Entry: Price above the 200 EMA and the smoothed RSI crosses up through zero → green up-arrow below bar
Short Entry: Price below the 200 EMA and the smoothed RSI crosses down through zero → red down-arrow above bar
Key Features:
Minimalist display: only the 200 EMA and entry arrows
Customizable inputs: EMA length, RSI length, RSI smoothing period
Ultra-low CPU load: suitable for lower timeframes (e.g. 1 min gold futures)
Yellow label text: for optimal visibility on dark or light chart backgrounds
How to Use:
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Choose your timeframe and adjust inputs as needed.
Take only the long signals when price is above the EMA, and only the short signals when price is below.
Place stops just beyond the EMA; targets can be measured swings or fixed R-multiples.
Notes:
Designed as a regime-based entry filter—no exits or background fills included.
Feel free to combine with your own stop-loss, take-profit, and money-management rules.
Trade smarter, not harder—let the market tell you only when both trend and momentum align.
New Momentum H/LNew Momentum H/L shows when momentum, defined as the rate of price change over time, exceeds the highest or lowest values observed over a user-defined period. These events shows points where momentum reaches new extremes relative to that period, and the indicator plots a column to mark each occurrence.
Increase in momentum could indicate the start of a trend phase from a low volatile or balanced state. However in developed trends, extreme momentum could also mark potential climaxes which can lead to trend termination. This reflects the dual nature of the component.
This indicator is based on the MACD calculated as the difference between a 3-period and a 10-period simple moving average. New highs are indicated when this value exceeds all previous values within the lookback window; new lows when it drops below all previous values. The default lookback period is set to 40 bars, which corresponds with two months on a daily chart.
The indicator also computes a z-score of the MACD line over the past 100 bars. This standardization helps compare momentum across different periods and normalizes the values of current moves relative to recent history.
In practice, use the indicator to confirm presence of momentum at the start of a move from a balanced state (often following a volatility expansion), track how momentum develops inside of a trend structure and locate potential climactic events.
Momentum should in preference be interpreted from price movement. However, to measure and standardize provides structure and helps build more consistent models. This should be used in context of price structure and broader market conditions; as all other tools.
Renko Momentum Wave (RMW)Renko Momentum Wave
The Renko Momentum Wave (RMW) is a custom momentum oscillator specifically designed for Renko-based price action analysis. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on time-based data, the RMW focuses on the directional consistency of Renko bricks, measuring the strength of trend momentum purely based on price movement.
Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) [VolumeVigilante]📈 Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) — Professional-Grade Momentum Signal
This is not your average MACD .
The Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) is a statistically enhanced momentum tool, purpose-built for serious traders and breakout hunters . By applying Z-Score normalization to the classic MACD structure, this indicator uncovers statistically significant momentum shifts , enabling cleaner reads on price extremes, trend continuation, and potential reversals.
💡 Why It Matters
The classic MACD is powerful — but raw momentum values can be noisy and relative , especially on volatile assets like BTC/USD . By transforming the MACD line, signal line, and histogram into Z-scores , we anchor these signals in statistical context . This makes the Institutional MACD:
✔️ Timeframe-agnostic and asset-normalized
✔️ Ideal for spotting true breakouts , not false flags
✔️ A reliable tool for detecting momentum divergence and exhaustion
🧪 Key Features
✅ Full Z-Score normalization (MACD, Signal, Histogram)
✅ Highlighted ±Z threshold bands for overbought/oversold zones
✅ Customizable histogram coloring for visual momentum shifts
✅ Built-in alerts for zero-crosses and Z-threshold breaks
✅ Clean overlay with optional display toggles
🔁 Strategy Tip: Mean Reversion Signals with Statistical Confidence
This indicator isn't just for spotting breakouts — it also shines as a mean reversion tool , thanks to its Z-Score normalization .
When the Z-Score histogram crosses beyond ±2, it marks a statistically significant deviation from the mean — often signaling that momentum is overstretched and the asset may be due for a pullback or reversal .
📌 How to use it:
Z > +2 → Price action is in overbought territory. Watch for exhaustion or short setups.
Z < -2 → Momentum is deeply oversold. Look for reversal confirmation or long opportunities.
These zones often precede snap-back moves , especially in range-bound or corrective markets .
🎯 Combine Z-Score extremes with:
Candlestick confirmation
Support/resistance zones
Volume or price divergence
Other mean reversion tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands)
Unlike the raw MACD, this version delivers statistical thresholds , not guesswork — helping traders make decisions rooted in probability, not emotion.
📢 Trade Smart. Trade Vigilantly.
