Open DriveOpen Drive is a market profile concept introduced by Jim Dalton. It occurs when the price moves directionally and persistently for the first 30 minutes from the cash market open.
It is necessary to use 30-minute bars as there needs to be enough time to measure an extreme move of the cash open. This means there will be fewer trades than other strategies using faster time periodicities.
The script finds open drives from these time points 0700/ 0800 and 1300/1430.
The entry signal also has a breakout threshold using the 5-bar high and 5-bar low to only take trades moving away from the prior 5-bar range. This weeds out most mid-range trades and small range expansion bars.
If the price has had a strong move from the open and has broken either below the prior 5-bar low or above the prior 5-bar high by an amount equal to the prior 5-bar range a trade is entered in the direction of the move.
The Exit criteria; exit after 3 bars which is 90mins when using a 30min periodicity.
Note, this script is shared to show that momentum generated on or around the cash open tends to persist. The entry and exits of this strategy are quite naive but there are plenty of ways to take more aggressive entries on faster time frames when an open drive occurs. The times chosen for this strategy will suit stock index futures mainly. The user can experiment with other futures products and their corresponding pit/ cash open hours.
Google "open drive market profile" for more information on open drives and market profile concepts.
Happy trading!

Delta-RSI Oscillator StrategyDelta-RSI Oscillator Strategy:
This strategy illustrates the use of the recently published Delta-RSI Oscillator as a stand-alone indicator.
Delta-RSI represents a smoothed time derivative of the RSI, plotted as a histogram and serving as a momentum indicator.
There are three optional conditions to generate trading signals (set separately for Buy, Sell and Exit signals):
Zero-crossing : bullish when D-RSI crosses zero from negative to positive values (bearish otherwise)
Signal Line Crossing : bullish when D-RSI crosses from below to above the signal line (bearish otherwise)
Direction Change : bullish when D-RSI was negative and starts ascending (bearish otherwise)
Since D-RSI oscillator is based on polynomial fitting of the RSI curve, there is also an option to filter trade signal by means of the root mean-square error of the fit (normalized by the sample average).
My original D-RSI Oscillator script can be found here:
RSI + DivergencesHi Guys,
This indicator gives you the trend changes (Designed with the basics of Vash's RSI advanced and the Fikira divergence indicator)
This indicator will only give you regular divergences.
Please keep in mind that a trading plan is not only built with momentum but also with location and structure.
Good trading,
Trend MeterUse as a supplementary Indicator to confirm your entries, but it is as good on it's own.
When you first apply the indicator to your chart make sure you shrink it down It looks a lot better that way
The indicator consists of 3 different Trend Meters and a Trend Bar which are used to confirm trend
As a bonus Possible Momentum Setup entries based on Stochastics are marked as well, these are very Powerful however please use with caution
How to Use
The more Trend meters are lit up the better
Look for Support or Resistance Levels for price to be attracted to
Find confluence with other indicators
Enter Long above the Setup Bar
Enter Short Below the Setup Bar
Double Stochastic DivergenceSame as my protected script but you can now see the code
This Study plots divergences and overlays a second %K as a fractal and changes the color of %D for the non fractal
Option to use Stochastic RSI for Fractal
Background Shading according to trend
Feel Free to change the indicator values to suit your style / system
The divergence script is thanks to @RicardoSantos, I've just adjusted it to suite my indicator
Remember that divergences work best when traded with the trend or very late in a trend when going against the trend
Common value for %K is 5, I have chosen 3 as it gives faster entries when using multiple time frames
If you are not using a momentum indicator as a trailing stop and using only cycle indicator
then I would recommended %K be 4 for exits
Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.
Volume Momentum Strategy [MA/VWAP Cross]Deconstructing the Volume Momentum Strategy: An Analysis of MA-VWAP Cross Mechanics
Introduction
The "Volume Momentum Strategy " is a technical trading algorithm programmed in Pine Script v6 for the TradingView platform. At its core, the strategy is a trend-following system that utilizes the interaction between a specific Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate trade signals. While the primary execution logic relies on price crossovers, the strategy incorporates a sophisticated secondary layer of analysis using the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Stochastic Oscillator. Uniquely, these secondary indicators are applied to volume data rather than price, serving as a gauge for market participation and momentum intensity.
The Core Engine: MA and VWAP Crossover
The primary engine driving the strategy's buy and sell decisions is the crossover relationship between a user-defined Moving Average and the VWAP.
1. The Anchor (VWAP): The strategy calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price based on the HLC3 (High, Low, Close divided by 3) source. VWAP serves as the dynamic benchmark for "fair value" throughout the trading session.
2. The Trigger (Moving Average): The script allows for flexibility in defining the "fast" line, offering options such as Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA), or Hull Moving Averages.
3. The Signal:
o A Long (Buy) signal is generated when the chosen MA crosses over the VWAP. This suggests that short-term price momentum is exceeding the average volume-weighted price of the session, indicating bullish sentiment.
o A Short (Sell) signal is generated when the MA crosses under the VWAP, indicating bearish pressure where price is being pushed below the session's volume-weighted average.
The Role of CCI and Stochastic: Analyzing Volume Momentum
The prompt specifically inquires about how the CCI and Stochastic indicators fit into this process. In standard technical analysis, these oscillators are used to identify overbought or oversold price conditions. However, this strategy repurposes them to analyze Volume Momentum.
1. The Calculation
Instead of using close prices as the input source, the script passes volume data into both indicator functions:
• Volume CCI: Calculated as ta.cci(volume, cciLength). This measures the deviation of current volume from its statistical average.
• Volume Stochastic: Calculated as ta.stoch(volume, volume, volume, stochLength). This gauges the current volume relative to its recent range.
2. The "Volume Spike" Condition
The strategy combines these two indicators to define a specific market condition labeled isVolumeSpike. A volume spike is confirmed only when both conditions are met simultaneously:
• The Volume CCI must be greater than a defined threshold (default: 100).
• The Volume Stochastic must be greater than a defined threshold (default: 80).
3. Integration into the Process
It is critical to note how this script currently applies this "Volume Spike" logic:
• Visual Confirmation: In the current version of the code, the isVolumeSpike boolean is used strictly for visual feedback. When a spike is detected, the script paints the specific price bar yellow and plots a small triangle marker below the bar.
• Strategic Implication: While the code calculates these metrics, the variables long_condition and short_condition currently rely solely on the MA/VWAP crossover. The developer has left the volume logic as a visual overlay, noting in the comments that it serves as a "visual/alert" or a potential filter.
• Potential Alpha: Conceptually, this setup implies that a trader should look for the MA/VWAP crossover to occur coincidentally with—or shortly after—a "Volume Spike" (yellow bar). This would confirm that the price move is backed by significant institutional participation (volume) rather than just retail noise.
Risk Management and Time Constraints
The strategy wraps these technical signals in a robust risk management framework. It includes hard-coded time windows (start/stop trading times) and a "Close All" function to prevent holding positions overnight. Furthermore, it employs both percentage-based and dollar-based Stop Loss and Take Profit mechanisms, ensuring that every entry—whether generated by a high-momentum crossover or a standard trend move—has a predefined exit plan.
Conclusion
The "Volume Momentum Strategy" is a hybrid system. It executes trades based on the reliable trend signal of MA crossing VWAP but informs the trader with advanced volume analytics. By processing volume through the CCI and Stochastic calculations, it provides a "heads-up" display regarding the intensity of market participation, allowing the trader to distinguish between low-volume drifts and high-volume breakout moves.
Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM (Arjo)Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a multi-factor trend, momentum, and compression-analysis tool designed to help traders visually map the strength and direction of market pressure.
Instead of simply combining existing indicators, ATM creates a new composite framework that blends momentum imbalance, directional strength, volatility contraction, and adaptive smoothing into a single, unified model.
Originality and usefulness
Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) does not replicate any one indicator.
It generates two custom indices— Bull Pressure Index and Bear Pressure Index —derived from a mathematical combination of RSI, inverse-RSI, and ADX. These indices behave differently from traditional oscillators:
They represent directional pressure on a 0–100 scale , not momentum.
They are designed to converge/diverge, forming a basis for the built-in Squeeze Detection Engine.
They can be optionally step-compressed , making the movement easier to read on fast or small charts.
The script also integrates a custom SuperSmoother trend model (not TradingView’s built-in function), which acts as an adaptive trend curve on the chart.
All calculations are combined intentionally—not as a mashup—to create a framework that allows traders to understand trend strength, compression phases, and micro-trend shifts in one place.
How the Indicator Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices:
These indices measure directional imbalance:
Bull Index = ADX strength weighted against inverse-RSI
Bear Index = ADX strength weighted against normal RSI
This produces two opposing pressure curves that rise or fall depending on whether buyers or sellers dominate.
You can optionally smooth these using:
SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA via the “Smoothing Settings” panel.
2. Squeeze & Compression Detection:
A squeeze is detected when:
ADX stays below a user-defined threshold
Bull–Bear Index difference shrinks
Average difference is falling (convergence)
This is a volatility-contraction model inspired by squeeze logic but applied to directional pressure, not Bollinger Bands/Keltner Channels .
3. Adaptive Trend Curve (SuperSmoother Engine)
The indicator applies a two-pole SuperSmoother filter to the price, then smooths it again using EMA.
The slope color flips between bullish and bearish and is displayed using:
A thin SuperSmoother curve
A thicker band for visual context
4. EMA-50 Trend Context:
An optional EMA-50 helps identify broad directional bias .
5. Step-Based Scaling
You can quantize the Bull/Bear indices using custom step intervals.
This makes the indicator easier to read on noisy intraday charts.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Analysis
A rising Bull Index shows strengthening upward pressure
A rising Bear Index shows strengthening downward pressure
Wide divergence between the indices signals a strong trend
2. Compression / Squeeze Analysis
Yellow background = volatility compression + pressure convergence
Breakouts from this zone often precede directional expansion
3. Trendline Reading
SuperSmoother line color flip = micro trend shift
EMA-50 slope gives macro-trend direction
Perfect for combining trend and momentum maps on the same chart
4. Visual Interpretation
Cyan/teal → strong bullish pressure
Purple/red/orange → various levels of bearish control
Neutral/teal background → weak ADX
Yellow background → squeeze zone
Open-Source Notes
This script uses:
TradingView built-in RSI, ADX/DMI, and smoothing functions
A SuperSmoother implementation based on known DSP filter coefficients
All remaining logic, signal methods, composite indices, and compression model are original developments by ARJO .

Elastic Volume-Weighted Momentum 🔥Elastic Volume-Weighted Momentum (EVWM) is a hybrid oscillator that measures the "force" of a price move by combining distance from the mean (elasticity) with relative trading volume. Unlike standard momentum indicators that only look at price speed, EVWM assumes that volume is the fuel for sustainable trends.
The indicator calculates a baseline (default: Hull Moving Average) and measures how far price stretches away from it, normalized by market volatility (ATR). This "elasticity" is then multiplied by a Volume Factor. The result is a histogram and signal line that distinguishes between high-conviction moves (high volume) and weak speculation (low volume).
How to Use
The EVWM is designed to filter false breakouts and identify mean-reversion opportunities through three distinct signal types:
1. Ignition Signals (Triangles) These occur when the momentum breaks outside the standard deviation bands with high volume.
Signal: Yellow Triangles.
Interpretation: This represents a valid breakout. The market has stretched away from the average with significant participation. This is often a signal to enter in the direction of the breakout.
2. Zombie Signals (X Marks) These occur when the momentum breaks outside the bands with low volume.
Signal: Grey "X".
Interpretation: This is a "fakeout" or a trap. The price moved, but there is no volume supporting it. Traders should exercise caution or consider fading the move, as it lacks the energy to sustain the trend.
3. Snap-Back Signals (Circles) These occur when the momentum line returns inside the bands after being overextended.
Signal: Red/Green Circles.
Interpretation: The "rubber band" is snapping back. This is a classic mean-reversion signal, often used to take profits on an existing position or to enter a counter-trend trade targeting the baseline.
4. Divergences The indicator includes an optional feature to detect discrepancies between price action and momentum.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but EVWM makes a lower high.
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but EVWM makes a higher low. These patterns often precede a trend reversal.
Configuration Guide
Lookback Length: Controls the speed of the indicator. Use lower values (21) for scalping and higher values (50+) for swing trading.
Baseline Type: Selects the moving average used as the center of gravity. "Hull MA" is the default for its responsiveness, while "SMA" offers a smoother, slower baseline.
Trend Filter: A safety mechanism that checks a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour or Daily). If enabled, the indicator will block "Buy" signals if the higher timeframe trend is bearish, helping traders stay on the right side of the market.
Volume Threshold: Adjusts what defines "High Volume." Increasing this value makes "Ignition" signals rarer but potentially more reliable.
Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
LiquidityPulse RSI Candle Strength MomentumLiquidity-Pulse RSI Candle Strength Momentum is a multifunctional and original candle-analysis tool designed to highlight the potential internal strength of each candle using a combination of body size and volume.
To view the candle-strength scores clearly: right-click on the chart, go to Settings, and in the Symbol tab untick Body, Borders and Wicks.
Candle Strength Scores
The indicator calculates the average body size and average volume over a user-defined lookback period. Each candle is then compared to these averages, and the indicator combines relative body expansion and relative volume expansion with a square-root calculation to create a (normalised) candle-strength score from 1 to 10.
10 – exceptionally strong compared to the lookback average (large body size and volume)
1 – very weak compared to the lookback average (small body size and volume)
Bullish and bearish candles are evaluated independently, producing separate bull-strength and bear-strength scores.
Optional ATR and volume floors can be enabled to restrict strength scoring to candles that exceed a minimum volatility or participation threshold. This helps users who prefer to filter out low-impact candles during quiet market periods. This option can be enabled or adjusted in the settings but is turned off by default.
Candle Colours
This tool also shows candles coloured based on the candle-strength scores (10 colours in each theme), which makes it easier to visualise the scores and see whether the candle score was high or not. There are several options in the 'colour theme' dropdown menu in the settings. Users can also customise all colours manually.
RSI Candle Strength Arrows
The Relative Strength Index is a long-established momentum tool that calculates the ratio of average upward moves to average downward moves over a defined period, allowing traders to identify potential overbought and oversold market conditions where momentum may be stretched. As well as this, strong early momentum and participation are often associated with more sustained moves.
This indicator combines this methodology and provides optional arrows that appear only when candle strength and RSI conditions align:
– A candle meets or exceeds a chosen strength threshold
– RSI has recently reached an overbought or oversold level
– The candle direction matches the expected momentum shift
For example, if price has reached an oversold RSI level and a strong bullish candle forms (high candle-strength number), an upside arrow may plot.
Users can customise the RSI oversold and overbought thresholds, the minimum candle-strength threshold, and how many bars back the RSI condition must have occurred in the settings.
These arrows are not buy or sell signals but instead highlight rare moments where strong candle behaviour aligns with meaningful RSI extremes. This is useful to users because it allows the candle-strength logic to be applied only when momentum is genuinely stretched, filtering out noise and focusing attention on the most statistically significant market moves.
This indicator brings together a quantitative candle-strength model and a momentum-based RSI filter to give users a clearer view of how individual candles behave relative to their recent environment, while also highlighting when those movements occur during meaningful shifts in market momentum. By combining both forms of analysis, the tool helps traders distinguish ordinary price changes from potentially significant structural behaviour.
How traders can use this indicator
– Stronger candle scores in the trend direction can confirm continuation pressure.
– Powerful opposing candles appearing at RSI extremes may signal potential reversals or exhaustion points.
– If breakouts occur with high candle scores, price may be more likely to follow through.
– Weak candles with low scores help traders avoid false signals or low-quality setups.
– Candle-strength scoring helps users quickly interpret both volume and candle-body behaviour without manual analysis.

MCL RSI Conflux v2.5 — Multi-Timeframe Momentum & Z-Score Full Description
Overview
The MCL RSI Conflux v2.5 is a multi-timeframe momentum model that integrates daily, weekly, and monthly RSI values into a unified composite. It extends the classical RSI framework with adaptive overbought/oversold thresholds and statistical normalization (Z-score confluence).
This combination allows traders to visualize cross-timeframe alignment, identify synchronized momentum shifts, and detect exhaustion zones with higher statistical confidence.
Methodology
The script extracts RSI data from three major time horizons:
Daily RSI (short-term momentum)
Weekly RSI (intermediate trend)
Monthly RSI (macro bias)
Each RSI is optionally smoothed, weighted, and aggregated into a Composite RSI.
A Z-score transformation then measures how far each RSI deviates from its historical mean, revealing when momentum strength is statistically extreme or aligned across timeframes.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe RSI Engine – Computes RSI across D/W/M intervals with individual weighting controls.
Adaptive Overbought/Oversold Bands – Automatically adjusts OB/OS thresholds based on rolling volatility (standard deviation of daily RSI).
Composite RSI Score – Weighted consensus RSI that represents total market momentum.
Z-Score Confluence Analysis – Identifies when all three timeframes are statistically synchronized.
Z-Composite Histogram – Displays aggregated Z-score strength around the midline (50).
Divergence Detection – Flags confirmed pivot-based bull and bear divergences on the daily RSI.
Dynamic Gradient Background – Shifts from red to green based on composite momentum regime.
Customizable Control Panel – Displays RSI values, Z-scores, state, and adaptive bands for each timeframe.
Integrated Alerts – For crossovers, risk-on/off thresholds, alignment, and Z-confluence events.
Interpretation
All RSI values above 50: multi-timeframe bullish alignment.
All RSI values below 50: multi-timeframe bearish alignment.
Composite RSI > 60: risk-on environment; momentum expansion.
Composite RSI < 45: risk-off environment; momentum contraction.
Adaptive OB/OS hits: potential exhaustion or mean reversion setup.
Green Z-ribbon: all Z-scores positive and aligned (statistical confirmation).
Red Z-ribbon: all Z-scores negative and aligned (broad market weakness).
Divergences: short-term warning signals against the prevailing momentum bias.
Practical Application
Use the Composite RSI as a global momentum gauge for position bias.
Trade only in the direction of higher-timeframe alignment (avoid countertrend RSI).
Combine Z-ribbon confirmation with Composite RSI crosses to filter noise.
Use divergence labels and adaptive thresholds for risk reduction or exit timing.
Ideal for swing traders and macro momentum models seeking trend synchronization filters.

RSI Momentum Divergence Zones [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
RSI Momentum Divergence Zones is a hybrid oscillator and chart overlay tool that detects RSI-based momentum divergences and projects them as key zones on the chart. By combining RSI divergence logic with horizontal level plotting, this indicator reveals high-probability support and resistance areas where price has historically reacted to hidden or classic divergences.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Momentum-Based RSI Source:
Instead of the classic RSI input, this tool uses the momentum of price as the RSI source:
rsiSrc = ta.mom(close, 10)
This emphasizes acceleration and deceleration of price moves, sharpening divergence signals and making them more responsive to early shifts in momentum.
Automatic Divergence Detection (Optional):
When enabled, the indicator continuously scans for:
— Bullish Divergence : Price makes a Lower Low while RSI forms a Higher Low
— Bearish Divergence : Price makes a Higher High while RSI forms a Lower High
It ensures divergence is valid by checking the spacing between pivots (min 5, max 50 bars).
Divergence Labels & Markers (RSI Pane + Chart):
When a valid divergence is detected:
— On RSI pane:
Labels appear at HL/LH points (“Bull” / “Bear”)
Colored lines show pivot structures
— On price chart:
Labels (“▲ Bull” / “Bear ▼”) mark price pivot that triggered the divergence
Lines highlight the exact price level at the divergence origin
Divergence Zones / Levels (Toggleable):
The indicator projects horizontal zones across the chart based on confirmed divergence points.
These levels dynamically extend as long as price respects them, and auto-expire once broken.
They act as S/R levels created by market imbalance caused by divergence reactions.
Dynamic Zone Extension Logic:
Once plotted, divergence levels will extend to the right:
— If price respects the level, the zone keeps growing
— If broken in the opposite direction, the level stops extending and turns dashed (visually showing break)
Zone Layering and Limit Control:
You can limit the number of simultaneous zones shown on the chart (e.g., 10 most recent).
Old zones automatically expire and are removed to keep the chart clean and focused.
Color Customization and Intensity:
Different colors for bullish and bearish zones let you easily distinguish trend direction.
Background fill, line width, and transparency are all adjustable.
Clean Zone Management with Arrays:
Behind the scenes, the script uses custom divLevel type arrays to manage plotted levels, ensuring they stay up-to-date, extend correctly, and delete once invalidated.
⯁ USAGE
Use bullish divergence zones as potential demand areas and bearish ones as supply zones.
Combine RSI pane labels with price-level zones to confirm strength of reversal.
Watch for price approaching a divergence level to anticipate reactions or breakouts.
Use divergence levels as trade triggers, stop-loss guides, or take-profit markers.
Limit signal count using the “Qty Divergence Zones” setting to reduce chart clutter.
Enable divergence detection only when you want to focus on key structural zones — ideal for swing or positional setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
RSI Momentum Divergence Zones blends oscillator divergence logic with price action structure to uncover hidden strength or weakness in the market. With flexible zone plotting and clean visual signals, this tool empowers traders to identify where momentum turns into structure — turning hidden signals into tradable edges.
Squeeze Pro Momentum BAR color - KLTDescription:
The Squeeze Pro Momentum indicator is a powerful tool designed to detect volatility compression ("squeeze" zones) and visualize momentum shifts using a refined color-based system. This script blends the well-known concepts of Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels with an optimized momentum engine that uses dynamic color gradients to reflect trend strength, direction, and volatility.
It’s built for traders who want early warning of potential breakouts and clearer insight into underlying market momentum.
🔍 How It Works:
📉 Squeeze Detection:
This indicator identifies "squeeze" conditions by comparing Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels:
When Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels → Squeeze is ON
When Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels → Squeeze is OFF
You’ll see squeeze zones classified as:
Wide
Normal
Narrow
Each represents varying levels of compression and breakout potential.
⚡ Momentum Engine:
Momentum is calculated using linear regression of the price's deviation from a dynamic average of highs, lows, and closes. This gives a more accurate representation of directional pressure in the market.
🧠 Smart Candle Coloring (Optimized):
The momentum color logic is inspired by machine learning principles (no hardcoded thresholds):
EMA smoothing and rate of change (ROC) are used to detect momentum acceleration.
ATR-based filters help remove noise and false signals.
Colors are dynamically assigned based on both direction and trend strength.
🧪 How to Use It:
Look for Squeeze Conditions — especially narrow squeezes, which tend to precede high-momentum breakouts.
Confirm with Momentum Color — strong colors often indicate trend continuation; fading colors may signal exhaustion.
Combine with Price Action — use this tool with support/resistance or patterns for higher probability setups.
Recommended For:
Trend Traders
Breakout Traders
Volatility Strategy Users
Anyone who wants visual clarity on trend strength
📌 Tip: This indicator works great when layered with volume and price action patterns. It is fully non-repainting and supports overlay on price charts.
Bull Momentum GaugeBull Momentum Gauge
The Bull Momentum Gauge is a powerful momentum oscillator designed to identify the underlying strength and sustainability of major market trends. Instead of trying to predict tops and bottoms, this indicator helps traders and investors ride long-term bull markets by signaling when momentum is building and when it is starting to fade.
What it Does
At its core, this tool measures how statistically "stretched" or "compressed" an asset's price is relative to its long-term (1-year) trend. It does this by:
Calculating the price's deviation from its 365-day moving average.
Normalizing this deviation into a Z-score to measure its statistical significance.
Comparing the inverted Z-score to its own 200-day moving average to gauge the momentum of the trend itself.
The result is a single, smooth line that oscillates around a zero value.
How to Use It
The signals are simple and based on the indicator's relationship to the zero line:
Green Line (Gauge below 0): This indicates that the price has been compressed relative to its long-term trend and is now showing signs of building upward momentum. A cross into the green zone can be interpreted as a potential entry signal for a new bull run.
Red Line (Gauge above 0): This suggests that the price has become over-extended or "stretched" and the upward momentum is beginning to weaken. A cross into the red zone can be used as a potential exit signal, indicating it may be time to take profits and wait for the next cycle.
This indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and provides a clear, data-driven framework for navigating major market cycles.
Heikin Ashi + MACD Momentum FilterThe Heikin Ashi + MACD Momentum Filter is designed for short-term and swing traders, combining the trend-smoothing capabilities of manually calculated Heikin Ashi candles with the momentum confirmation of the MACD histogram to generate reliable buy and sell signals. This indicator aligns trend direction with momentum shifts to minimize false signals, making it ideal for trading trending markets on timeframes like 5-minute to 1-hour charts.
How It Works
The indicator uses two technical components to produce signals:
Heikin Ashi for Trend Detection:
Heikin Ashi candles are manually calculated to smooth price action, with the close as the average of OHLC values and the open as the average of the previous Heikin Ashi open and close. These values are further smoothed over a default 5-period moving average. A bullish trend is confirmed when the smoothed Heikin Ashi close is above its open (plotted in green), and a bearish trend when the close is below the open (plotted in red). This smoothing reduces noise, helping traders stay in the direction of the prevailing trend.
MACD Histogram for Momentum Confirmation:
The MACD, calculated with standard settings (fast=12, slow=26, signal=9), produces a histogram. A buy signal requires the histogram to cross above a threshold (default: 0.0), indicating bullish momentum, while a sell signal requires a cross below, indicating bearish momentum. This ensures trades are taken when momentum supports the trend.
Signal Generation
Signals are generated using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The MACD histogram crosses above the threshold, and the Heikin Ashi confirms a bullish trend. Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The MACD histogram crosses below the threshold, and the Heikin Ashi confirms a bearish trend. Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.
US Growth Momentum Index (UGMI)US Growth Momentum Index (UGMI) is a macroeconomic indicator designed to reflect the current economic health of the United States. The index combines four key economic factors—Industrial Production (INDPRO), Retail Sales (RSAFS), Unemployment Rate (UNRATE), and the 10Y-2Y Yield Curve Spread—and aggregates them into a single line representing overall growth momentum.
The UGMI is based on Z-Score calculations for each of these components, helping to identify whether the U.S. economy is in an expansionary growth phase or a contractionary recession phase.
How to Read the UGMI:
Core Growth Line (Blue): This is the main line representing the aggregated growth momentum. It is calculated using the Z-scores of the key economic indicators.
0 Line: The 0 line represents the neutral zone. If the UGMI is above the 0 line, it suggests that the economy is expanding. Below the 0 line indicates contraction or a potential recession.
Zones Above 1: When the UGMI is above 1, it represents a strong expansionary phase or boom, possibly signaling the top of a bull market or local peak.
Zones Below -1: When the UGMI falls below -1, it indicates a severe recession or significant contraction in the economy.
Color Coding:
Green: When the UGMI is above the 1 line, the background turns green, indicating a strong growth phase.
Red: When the UGMI is below -1, the background turns red, representing a recession or significant economic downturn.
This indicator helps traders and investors to understand whether the economy is growing or contracting, and is especially useful for identifying potential market tops or turning points.
Dual Momentum OSCOverview:
Momentum OSC is a dual-layered momentum oscillator that blends multi-timeframe momentum readings with moving average crossovers for deeper insight into trend acceleration and exhaustion. Perfect for confirming trend strength or spotting early shifts in momentum.
Features:
✅ Two separate momentum streams with customizable timeframes
✅ Smoothing via moving averages for both momenta
✅ Cross-timeframe momentum structure for confirmation and divergence
✅ Color-coded areas for intuitive visual interpretation
✅ Optional crossover markers to signal bullish/bearish momentum shifts
How It Works:
The script calculates two momentum values by comparing current price sources against lagged values across separate timeframes. Each is smoothed with a moving average to filter noise. The difference between momentum and its moving average forms a core component of trend strength confirmation. Optional visual circles mark bullish or bearish crossovers.
Customizable Inputs:
Timeframes, sources, lengths, and MA periods for both momentum streams
Toggle to display momentum cross signals (circles)
Works on any asset or timeframe
EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)
🚨 Main Utility: Early Squeeze Warning
The primary function of this indicator is to warn traders early when the market is approaching a "squeeze"—a tightening condition that often precedes significant moves or regime shifts. By visually highlighting areas of increasing tension, it helps traders anticipate potential volatility and prepare accordingly. This is intended to be a statistically and psychologically grounded replacement of so-called "fib-time-zones," which are overly-deterministic and subjective.
📌 Overview
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics indicator projects future regime shifts (such as golden and death crosses) using exponential moving averages (EMAs). It employs historical interval data and current market conditions to dynamically forecast when the critical EMAs (50-period and 200-period) will reconverge, marking likely trend-change points.
This indicator leverages two core ideas:
Behavioral finance theory: Traders often collectively anticipate popular EMA crossovers, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy (normative social influence), similar to findings from Solomon Asch’s conformity experiments.
Bayesian-like updates: It utilizes historical crossover intervals as a prior, dynamically updating expectations based on evolving market data, ensuring its signals remain objectively grounded in actual market behavior.
⚙️ Technical & Mathematical Explanation
1. EMA Calculations and Regime Definitions
The indicator uses three EMAs:
Fast (9-period): Represents short-term price movement.
Medial (50-period): Indicates medium-term trend direction.
Slow (200-period): Defines long-term market sentiment.
Regime States:
Bullish: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
Bearish: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
A shift between these states triggers visual markers (arrows and labels) directly on the chart.
2. Gap Dynamics and Historical Intervals
At each crossover:
The indicator records the gap (distance) between the 50 and 200 EMAs.
It tracks the historical intervals between past crossovers.
An Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of these intervals is calculated, weighting recent intervals more heavily, dynamically updating expectations.
Important note:
After every regime shift, the projected crossover line resets its calculation. This reset is visually evident as the projection line appears to move further away after each regime change, temporarily "repelled" until the EMAs begin converging again. This ensures projections remain realistic, grounded in actual EMA convergence, and prevents overly optimistic forecasts immediately after a regime shift.
3. Gap Momentum & Adaptive Scaling
The indicator measures how quickly or slowly the gap between EMAs is changing ("gap momentum") and adjusts its forecast accordingly:
If the gap narrows rapidly, a crossover becomes more imminent.
If the gap widens, the next crossover is pushed further into the future.
The "gap factor" dynamically scales the projection based on recent gap momentum, bounded between reasonable limits (0.7–1.3).
4. Squeeze Ratio & Background Color (Visual Cues)
A "squeeze ratio" is computed when market conditions indicate tightening:
In a bullish regime, if the fast EMA is below the medial EMA (price pulling back towards long-term support), the squeeze ratio increases.
In a bearish regime, if the fast EMA rises above the medial EMA (price rallying into long-term resistance), the squeeze ratio increases.
What the Background Colors Mean:
Red Background: Indicates a bullish squeeze—price is compressing downward, hinting a bullish reversal or continuation breakout may occur soon.
Green Background: Indicates a bearish squeeze—price is compressing upward, suggesting a bearish reversal or continuation breakout could soon follow.
Opacity Explanation:
The transparency (opacity) of the background indicates the intensity of the squeeze:
High Opacity (solid color): Strong squeeze, high likelihood of imminent volatility or regime shift.
Low Opacity (faint color): Mild squeeze, signaling early stages of tightening.
Thus, more vivid colors serve as urgent visual warnings that a squeeze is rapidly intensifying.
5. Projected Next Crossover and Pseudo Crossover Mechanism
The indicator calculates an estimated future bar when a crossover (and thus, regime shift) is expected to occur. This calculation incorporates:
Historical EWMA interval.
Current squeeze intensity.
Gap momentum.
A dynamic penalty based on divergence from baseline conditions.
The "Pseudo Crossover" Explained:
A key adaptive feature is the pseudo crossover mechanism. If price action significantly deviates from the projected crossover (for example, if price stays beyond the projected line longer than expected), the indicator acknowledges the projection was incorrect and triggers a "pseudo crossover" event. Essentially, this acts as a reset, updating historical intervals with a weighted adjustment to recalibrate future predictions. In other words, if the indicator’s initial forecast proves inaccurate, it recognizes this quickly, resets itself, and tries again—ensuring it remains responsive and adaptive to actual market conditions.
🧠 Behavioral Theory: Normative Social Influence
This indicator is rooted in behavioral finance theory, specifically leveraging normative social influence (conformity). Traders commonly watch EMA signals (especially the 50 and 200 EMA crossovers). When traders collectively anticipate these signals, they begin trading ahead of actual crossovers, effectively creating self-fulfilling prophecies—similar to Solomon Asch’s famous conformity experiments, where individuals adopted group behaviors even against direct evidence.
This behavior means genuine regime shifts (actual EMA crossovers) rarely occur until EMAs visibly reconverge due to widespread anticipatory trading activity. The indicator quantifies these dynamics by objectively measuring EMA convergence and updating projections accordingly.
📊 How to Use This Indicator
Monitor the background color and opacity as primary visual cues.
A strongly colored background (solid red/green) is an early alert that a squeeze is intensifying—prepare for potential volatility or a regime shift.
Projected crossover lines give a dynamic target bar to watch for trend reversals or confirmations.
After each regime shift, expect a reset of the projection line. The line may seem initially repelled from price action, but it will recalibrate as EMAs converge again.
Trust the pseudo crossover mechanism to automatically recalibrate the indicator if its original projection misses.
🎯 Why Choose This Indicator?
Early Warning: Visual squeeze intensity helps anticipate market breakouts.
Behaviorally Grounded: Leverages real trader psychology (conformity and anticipation).
Objective & Adaptive: Uses real-time, data-driven updates rather than static levels or subjective analysis.
Easy to Interpret: Clear visual signals (arrows, labels, colors) simplify trading decisions.
Self-correcting (Pseudo Crossovers): Quickly adjusts when initial predictions miss, maintaining accuracy over time.
Summary:
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics Indicator combines behavioral insights, dynamic Bayesian-like updates, intuitive visual cues, and a self-correcting pseudo crossover feature to offer traders a reliable early warning system for market squeezes and impending regime shifts. It transparently recalibrates after each regime shift and automatically resets whenever projections prove inaccurate—ensuring you always have an adaptive, realistic forecast.
Whether you're a discretionary trader or algorithmic strategist, this indicator provides a powerful tool to navigate market volatility effectively.
