Johnny The Scalper - Momentum/Speed [by Oberlunar]The Johnny The Scalper indicator is designed to provide scalpers with insights into market momentum and speed dynamics by analyzing the price movement within candles. It calculates the "candle speed," defined as the range of a candle (high minus low) divided by the elapsed time in seconds since the candle opened. Users can customize the distance for comparison by specifying how many candles back the indicator should look when calculating the speed difference (`Diff`).
The script retrieves the speed of the specified candle from the past (`candle_speed_x`) and compares it to the speed of the current candle, calculating the difference (`speed_difference`). The indicator also identifies whether the current candle and the candle from the past are bullish (green) or bearish (red), using this information to interpret the dynamics of the difference.
If the difference is negative, it means the current candle's speed is slower than the reference candle's speed. A negative difference combined with candles of the same direction suggests a slowdown, while candles of opposite directions indicate a slowing reversal. A positive difference suggests that the current candle is faster. If the candles have the same direction, it signifies an acceleration in the current trend; if their directions differ, it indicates a faster reversal.
The results are displayed graphically as labels on the chart. Labels above the candles show the difference Diff with color-coded backgrounds based on the calculated dynamics:
orange for a slowdown in the same direction,
red for a slowing reversal,
green for acceleration in the same direction,
and blue for a faster reversal.
An additional label below the candle optionally displays the current candle's speed in real time. This indicator helps scalpers identify momentum shifts and potential reversals in a highly customizable manner, adapting to different trading strategies and timeframes.

Market Waves [BigBeluga]MARKET WAVES
Market Waves The Market Waves [ BigBeluga ] is an all in one toolkit focusing on trends, accumulations and identifying market structures right on your chart. It is lightweight and powerful in its approaches, taking unique mathematical approaches to classical tools.
⬤ Signals
The Beluga Signals combine tested powerful ideas into a single tool. They are designed to follow trends and reduce noise in the market using low pass filtering methods. There are two types of signals founds in this toolkit; normal and power signals. Power signals are signals with a + in them indicating that the signal may be more likely to play out.
These are great when used in confluence with other trend following tools to filter them for even greater performance. Naturally traders will want to use these with confluence to confirm the trend identification.
The signals come with take profits built in. Ticks are placed on the chart indicating a potential areas to be taking profit. Using these as exits can be powerful especially when using confluence. Max Profit labels are also produced suggesting it really is the ideal time to be exiting the market before a reversal comes.
By leveraging unique low lag methods and filtering approaches, these signals offer a unique edge when compared to classical TSL such as a SuperTrend or PSAR.
⬤ Smooth Trend
The Smooth Trend (shown here with green and red shadows) also focuses on low lag noise filtering. This unique system is perfect when used for entries or as a filter. Users are able to adjust how fast or slow the trend is identified.
In the example above, we see a sell signal during the time the smooth trend is green. Therefore using confluence we can filter out the signal and proceed to take our power buy signal.
Percentages are also provided at the start of the trend. These indicate the probability this really is a new trend. In the image above we again see the trends are both labelled as 100% and the system is fully confident what we were seeing was indeed a trend reversal.
Although it may appear as a classical trend following tool, again it's uniqueness lies in its ability to locate market bottoms and respond to trends.
⬤ The Trend Accumulations
This feature focuses on elegant trend and range identification making trader's lives easier. By not cluttering the chart this system allows traders to see an asset's behavior without overlays.
Uptrends, downtrends and ranges are identified with uptrends showing with a green base line, downtrends with a red one and ranges/accumulations in blue. As shown in the image above; this is a powerful system to avoid trading ranges/chop in the market. We see a blue accumulation zone, this means the market is best to avoid. We then transition to a faint green suggesting the market is starting to move upwards.
Leveraging range detection techniques, this gives responsive market structure identification at a glance.
⬤ Voltix Bands
The Voltix Bands are a type of volatility-based band used to gauge market volatility and identify potential trading opportunities. These bands consist of two components: an upper band and a lower band. The distance between the bands fluctuates based on market volatility. When the market is highly volatile, the bands widen, and when volatility is low, the bands contract. They are unique as they uniquely apply distributions and weight volatility accordingly.
How to Use Voltix Bands:
When the price moves outside the Voltix Bands, it often signals a potential breakout. A close above the upper band may indicate the start of an upward trend, while a close below the lower band might signal the beginning of a downward trend.
Traders often use these breakout signals to enter trades in the direction of the breakout.
Detecting Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
When the price touches or moves beyond the upper Voltix Band, it can suggest that the market is overbought, indicating a potential reversal or pullback.
Conversely, when the price touches or drops below the lower Voltix Band, it may indicate an oversold condition, suggesting a possible price increase or trend reversal.
Volatility Contraction and Expansion:
Tightening Voltix Bands (when the bands contract) often precedes a significant price movement. This phenomenon is known as the "squeeze." When the bands tighten, it indicates a period of low volatility, and traders often anticipate an imminent breakout in either direction.
Widening Voltix Bands (when the bands expand) signal increasing volatility. Traders can use this as a cue to either ride the trend or be cautious of potential reversals.
Trend Following:
In trending markets, the price often stays close to the upper or lower band for extended periods. Traders can use this characteristic to follow the trend, staying long when the price is near the upper band and short when it is near the lower band. The bands also provide color coding and are green during an uptrend and purple during a downtrend.
⬤ Candle Coloring
1. Volume-Based Candle Coloring
Volume-based candle coloring mode changes the color of each candlestick according to the trading volume associated with that period. This method helps traders quickly identify periods of high or low market activity and understand the strength behind price movements.
How It Works:
High Volume: Candles are colored differently (red bearish, bright blue for bullish) when the trading volume is significantly higher than the average. This indicates strong buying or selling interest.
This mode is useful for identifying potential breakouts or fakeouts. For example, a price breakout accompanied by high volume suggests a strong move, while a breakout on low volume might indicate a lack of conviction, potentially leading to a false breakout.
2. Trend-Based Candle Coloring
Trend-based candle coloring mode changes the color of candlesticks depending on the current market trend, helping traders visually distinguish between bullish and bearish phases and neutral periods.
How It Works:
Bullish Trend: Candles are colored green when the price is in an uptrend.
Bearish Trend: Candles are colored red when the price is in a downtrend.
Usage:
This mode is beneficial for trend-following strategies, allowing traders to quickly assess the overall market direction and align their trades with the prevailing trend.
3. Momentum-Based Candle Coloring
In this momentum-based candle coloring mode, candlesticks are colored yellow for strong bullish momentum and pink for strong bearish momentum. This visual approach highlights the intensity of market movements, helping traders quickly identify prevailing momentum and potential trend shifts.
How It Works:
Strong Bullish Momentum (Yellow Candles):
Candles turn yellow when the market exhibits strong upward momentum. This might be triggered by a proprietary technique that detects when buying pressure is significantly driving prices higher, indicating that the market is experiencing robust bullish activity.
Yellow candles suggest that the price is likely to continue rising, and traders may look to capitalize on this momentum.
Strong Bearish Momentum (Pink Candles):
Candles turn pink when strong downward momentum is detected. The same technique identifies when selling pressure is dominant, pushing prices lower at a significant pace.
Pink candles indicate that bearish forces are strong, with the price likely to keep declining, making it a potential opportunity for short-selling or exiting long positions.
This color scheme is particularly beneficial for traders who prioritize momentum-based strategies. The clear distinction between strong bullish (yellow) and bearish (pink) momentum provides an instant visual cue, enabling quick decision-making.
Entering Trades:
Traders might choose to enter long positions when a series of yellow candles appears, indicating strong bullish momentum.
Alternatively, pink candles may signal an opportune moment to enter short positions, capturing the market's downward momentum.
Exiting Trades:
A shift from pink to yellow candles in a previously bearish trend could indicate a reversal, prompting traders to exit short positions.
The Market Waves toolkit is a powerful collection of unique and powerful tools. Please use DD when trading and always manage risk.
AIR Vortex ADXThis project started as an effort to improve the user interface of the hybrid indicator ADX of Vortex, which is, as per the name, a blend of ADX and Vortex Indicator. Plotting both indicators on the same polarity and normalising the vortex, a better interpretation of the interaction between the two is possible, and trend becomes apparent.
Basically, the Vortex provides the bright punch and ADX the continuation of the trend and momentum.
A range mixer has been added to the vortex, comprising both true and interpercentile ranges (see my previous script for a desrciption of interpercentile range). Users can activate and add amounts of each as they see fit.
Finally, there is an RSI filter, the idea of which is to filter out ranging (flat) markets, where no distinct direction is yet emerging.

Stacked EMAsStacked Daily & Weekly EMAs + Labels
Pretty much self-explanatory indicator that shows the current momentum based on the key exponential moving averages.
Three stages of the EMAs:
1. Stacked Positively (Bullish) - EMAs are stacked on top of each other which represents a healthy bullish uptrend (green Label).
2. Stacked Negatively (Bearish) - EMAs are stacked below each other meaning the trend is bearish (red label).
3. Stacked Neutral (Neutral) - EMAs are crossing each other without any clear direction = chop (yellow label).
Hope it helps.
Delta-RSI OscillatorIntroducing the Delta-RSI Oscillator.
This oscillator is a time derivative of the RSI, plotted as a histogram and serving as a momentum indicator. The derivative is calculated explicitly by means of local polynomial regression. It is designed to provide minimum false and premature buy/sell signals compared to many traditional momentum indicators such as Momentum, RSI, Rate of Change.
Application:
Potential trading signals provided by the Delta-RSI Oscillator include:
- zero crossing (negative-to-positive as a bullish sign and positive-to-negative sign as a bearish signal),
- change of direction (consider going long if the oscillator starts to advance, and short otherwise).
In addition, the strength of a particular trend can be estimated by looking at the Delta-RSI value (positive D-RSI in case of the uptrend, and negative in case of the downtrend).
Choosing the model Parameters:
-RSI Length: The timeframe of the RSI that is being differentiated.
- Frame Length: The length of the lookback frame used for local regression.
- Polynomial Order: The order of the local polynomial function.
Longer frames and lower order of polynomials will result in a " smoother " D-RSI, but at the expense of greater lag. Increasing the polynomial order while maintaining the frame length will reduce lag while producing more variance. The values set as default (Length=18, Order=2) were found to provide optimum the variance/lag tradeoff. However, other options (e.g., Length=35, Order=3) can also work well.
Relationship with other methods:
When developing this indicator, I was inspired by Connie Brown’s Derivative Oscillator. The latter pursues the same goal but evaluates the RSI derivative by means of triple smoothing. This paves the way for more clear interpretation and easier tuning of model parameters.
Cyber MomentumThis oscillator is the combination of different settings RSI , RSX , STOCHRSI , MSI ,... in a Stochastic function that can help traders to understand the weakness and strength of momentum in candle sticks in different time frames.
This oscillator organized by three Line , control zone and Divergence Line
1:) Fast Line
2:) Slow Line
3:) Heavy Line
4:) Neutral Zone between Fibo 38.2% & 61.8%
5:) Bullish Control Zone
6:) Bearish Control Zone
7:) Divergence Line
And there are two theories of finding tradable signals behind those parts .
The first and the most simplest theory is the situation that the Fast Line has the possibility to be supported by Slow or Heavy Lines and basically reverse its slope !!
But there are some rules and notes for this theory ... First of all the accuracy and rate of that is variable in three main categories of situation
1:) with or without price action reversal structure like reversal pattern (Head&Shoulder , Quasimodo , .... )
2:) with or without regular divergence
3:) in which control zone ?
So basically the most powerful setup occurs when price action is already in the reversal structure and the potential to have at least one drive of regular divergence exist and also the Fast Line is in the opposite control zone of the current time frame trend .... so obviously if one of those rules will not be satisfied so the signal will be the less value
The second theory is the signals that occur after the reversal, obviously a sign of trend continuation. there are two type of that you can use with this oscillator
The first one happens when price reverses its trend and this oscillator is moving to the neutral zone ... so if at least one drive of hidden divergence exist the neutral zone will have good possibility to reverse the slope of the oscillator obviously this would happen usually after hidden divergence confirmed .
and the second one is basically the first type but after the reversal Subsequently in the outside of the bullish/bearish control zone ... those kinds of signals are NOT the reversal potency signal at all !! they designed for trend continuation... be careful of them and try trade with your old friend trend ! .... also The existence of hidden divergences will be better for trade in this kind of signals .
The idea of this oscillator was inspired by @mrhashem Borjas Tarh Momentum.
Price/Volume momentumThis indicator will help you measure when to keep adding on your longs and when to get out.
What you want to see is increasing price with increasing volume to keep adding.
You can also begin to enter a position that has changing momemtum, meaning the volume/price pair has stop going down and it's reversing.
I use this indicator with my volatility indicator and my Matrix indicator on the daily
