A rules-based momentum scalping framework for short-term index futures
This indicator is designed for traders who focus on fast-moving, intraday momentum opportunities—particularly on lower timeframes such as the 1-minute chart. It uses a structured combination of trend filters and short-term momentum tools to help identify potential continuation entries during active market conditions.
Core Concept
The tool evaluates price behavior relative to a dynamic trend line while measuring short-term rate-of-change and directional strength. When all components align, the indicator highlights moments where the market may be transitioning into or sustaining momentum in one direction. Conversely, when conditions deteriorate or momentum weakens, the indicator suppresses signals to reduce noise and avoid choppy environments.
This approach aims to provide buy/sell signals for scalping in trending or expanding-volatility conditions.
What the Indicator Uses
The system assesses several factors before confirming a potential momentum signal:
A dynamic trend filter to determine directional bias
A rate-of-change threshold to confirm short-term acceleration
A trend-strength component to avoid signals during low-energy or ranging conditions
A cooldown mechanism to prevent rapid, back-to-back signals in unsettled areas
Only when all conditions align does the indicator paint a long or short trigger on the chart.
Intended Use
This tool is best suited for:
- Active scalpers
- Intraday index futures traders (NQ, ES, GC, etc.)
- Short-duration momentum traders
- Traders who prefer clean, rules-based decision making
It is not designed for swing trading, long-term trend following, or counter-trend strategies.
How to Read the Signals
- Buy markers appear when trend, momentum, and strength all support upward continuation.
- Sell markers appear when these same factors align in the opposite direction.
- The 90-period trend line can be shown or hidden based on user preference, but it remains part of the decision framework internally.
- The user may optionally adjust the momentum threshold (ROC%) to suit different volatility environments.
Important Notes
Signals are generated only on completed bars.
As with all technical tools, this should be used alongside proper risk and trade management practices.
