Simple Dominance Momentum IndicatorThe Simple Dominance Momentum Indicator is a powerful tool for tracking market trends in the world of cryptocurrency. By analyzing the relationship between dominance and market movement, this indicator helps traders identify when money is flowing into or out of the market.
Using the pane structure on TradingView, the Dominance Momentum Indicator makes it easy to visualize and track data from CryptoCap charts. Whether you're a seasoned investor or starting out, this indicator can help you make more informed trading decisions.
All this indicator does is create the pane with a line chart using the Dominance charts to allow you to see the data with one button instead of doing it all manually. However with the addition to allow it to toggle between crypto and stables, so if you are using a /BTC pair, you don't have to add a new pane on, it automatically converts. If you are looking at USDT pairs for example, it will highlight that one for you.
While it can work under any conditions, the Dominance Momentum Indicator is particularly effective on higher timeframes, providing valuable insight into the overall plot of the market trend. With a 55EMA and a faster-moving average of 21EMA, this indicator is designed to help you stay ahead of the curve and make smarter trading decisions.
Remember the golden rule for stablecoin dominance. Down = good, and up = bad; however, you can just invert the indicator, so it flows with the market.
When it comes to the dominance of individual cryptocurrencies, for example, DOT.D, you might find that it going up = increasing dominance is STRENGTH. If the dominance of that is increasing it means it's growing.

Deemer Breakaway Momentum ThrustBreakaway momentum is a "breadth thrust" coined by Walter Deemer in the 1970s that occurs when the ten-day total advances on the NYSE are greater than 1.97 times the ten-day total NYSE declines.
This indicator calculates the ratio and plots it as a histogram. The 1.97 threshold is also plotted as a horizontal line. Anytime the histogram gets above the line Breakaway Momentum has occurred.
This is a rare signal that has only happened 25 times since 1945.
Quantum CDV HistogramThis script is an addition to Fixed Quantum Cdv.
It shows vector cdv ratio in columns.
You can select the length as an input to how many bars to look back for the whole calculation.
The green bars represent the bullish values and the red bars the bearish values.
The green line represents an ema of the bullish value and the red line the ema of the bearish value.
The momentum ema (in purple) represent the cdv ratio (bullish - bearish).
When the momentum ema is at 100% or more it’s a good sell opportunity and when the momentum ema is at or under 100% it’s a good buy opportunity. It is not financial advise. Make sure to make your own analysis. This script help to make entries, but do not enter positions only based on this signal.
In the inputs you can select the emas that you want to display on your histogram.
The original script is the Cumulative Delta Volume by LonesomeTheBlue.
DMI Stochastic Momentum IndexConcepts
This is an improved version of the "DMI Stochastic Extreme Refurbished" indicator.
For more information on the main concepts of this indicator, please access this link:
The difference is that here, instead of using the traditional stochastic oscillator, I implemented the use of the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI).
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI)
The SMI is considered a refinement of the stochastic oscillator.
It calculates the distance of the current closing price as it relates to the median of the high/low range of price.
William Blau developed the SMI, which attempts to provide a more reliable indicator, less subject to false swings.
The original stochastic is limited to values from 0 to 100, while the SMI varies between the range of -100 to 100.
(Investopedia)
It is worth mentioning that the SMI presented in this script applies to the DMI value, not the screen price.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear] added Alerting + webhookA modified version of Squeeze Momentum Indicator visualizing on Price Chart.
author: @LazyBear, modified by @KivancOzbilgic, and by @dgtrd
I took in all of the information as the script below is based on the V2 Script that @LazyBear posted and then added Alerting based on the math and the conditions that @dgtrd added.
Per the description here:
The Squeeze Indicator measures the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify consolidations and signal when prices are likely to break out (whether up or down).
The Squeeze Indicator finds sections of the Bollinger Bands which fall inside the Keltner's Channels, and in this case, the market is said to be in a squeeze (indicator turns off, displayed with grey diamond shapes in this study).
When the volatility increases, so does the distance between the bands. Conversely, when the volatility declines, the distance also decreases, and in such cases, the squeeze is said to be released (indicator turns on, displayed with triangle up or triangle down shapes)
Taking the above information and what was in the script was able to base the alert conditions:
So when the condition:
Squeeze On or No Squeeze = In Squeeze
Squeeze Off = Squeeze Release Long or Squeeze Release Long based off conditions.
There are 2 separate alert Types.
1. App, Pop-up, eMail, play sound and Send email to SMS
2. It Is dedicated to Webhook for your various applications.

[blackcat] L1 Vitali Apirine Compare Price Momentum OscillatorLevel 1
Background
Traders’ Tips of August 2020, the focus is Vitali Apirine’s article in the August issue, “The Compare Price Momentum Oscillator (CPMO)”.
Function
In his article in this issue, “The Compare Price Momentum Oscillator (CPMO),” author Vitali Apirine reintroduces us to the DecisionPoint PMO originally developed by Carl Swenlin and presents a new way to use it to compare the relative momentum of two different securities. Trading signals can be derived in a number of ways including momentum, signal line, and zero-line crossovers.
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
S2BU2 Stochastic Momentum Convergence DivergenceFair Use:
Please do not take my work and sell it under your own name. This was created to benefit everyone - not one person. Feel free however to use it as part of whatever work you wish to sell (of course i would applaud also giving ideas away for free - your choice though ;)
What it is:
This is a twist on the stochastic momentum indicator . It combines the classic stochastic momentum with a slow moving trendline to improve the warning signal for the end of a trend
How it works:
The classic Stochastic Momentum indicates an uptrend when the smi crosses above the signalline and conversely a downtrend when it crosses below.
The improved indicator also shows trend sustainability by displaying a vertical line when the trendline and signal line cross each other. Trendline above signalline indicates a sustained uptrend, trendline below signalline indicates a sustained downtrend.
How to use:
Note this is only a recommendation and not advice. Feel free to experiment and adjust the indicator to fit your tradingstyle. This is only my personal setup. Feel free to share your findings.
Set Alerts for crossovers between smi and signal on 1h and 4h. Also set alerts for crossovers between trend and signal on 4h.
(again, no advice - think for yourself!)
If smi and signal crossdown -> short
If smi and signal crossup -> long
If trend and signal crossdown between top and middle line-> major short
If trend and signal crossup between bottom and middle line -> major long
If trend and signal cross anywhere else -> get out and wait for a new signal
You could also stay in a trend for as long as the trendline does not crossover on the 4h. This works well for major trends and indicates very well the end it.
The end of a major trend is not necessarily the start of a major uptrend - there can and probably will be a consolidation phase.
This does not work well in a choppy market, do not keep a trade going until trend crossover if the market is choppy - you will mostly close with losses!

Squeeze M + ADX + TTM (Trading Latino & John Carter) by [Rolgui]About this indicator:
This indicator aims to combine two good performing strategies, which can be used separately or together, mainly for investment positions, although it can also be used for intraday trading.
Strategy 1) Squeeze Oscillator and Average Directional Index:
This strategy is taught by Jaime Aibsai, which determines market entries based on reading the direction of the price movement (Directionality of the Oscillator) along with the strength of the Oscillator (Slope of the ADX).
Both tools are configured according to Jaime Abisai's strategy, by default (note that point 23 of the ADX is represented by point 0 on the panel, to make reading easier, its interpretation is not affected). Anyway you can adjust the input data according to your interest.
*You can see this setting in the first panel.
Strategy 2) Squeeze Momentum and Trade The Market Waves:
This strategy can be consulted either in John F. Carter's books or on his website.
This market reading is based on Price Volatility (Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels interaction) and its Trend (Exponential Moving Averages), showing entries at times when price volatility is low and taking filtering active trend using T.T.M. Waves.
To configure the indicator in the same way that Carter does, it would be enough to turn off the ADX, turn on the Squeeze Momentum signals along with the T.T.M. Waves, and importantly, change the Linear Momentum value to 12 (this configuration can be found in his book).
*You can see this setting in the second panel.
Why this indicator?
I've added and removed the above flags as I needed to query them (which became tedious for me). The main objective of having merged them into one is to make their reading more agile and comfortable and thus improve the decision-making capacity of the trader who wishes to use them.
Credits and Acknowledgments:
I would like to give credits to other authors, for the sections of code that I have used to make this technical indicator. Thanks to @LazyBear, @matetaronna, @jombie and @joren for contributing to the community and keeping their code open. It is priceless!
Feel free to combine and practice your trading with both strategies, personally, they improved my profitability and this is why I recommend researching more about them. I've been using it for crypto investing, let me know if it's worth for you on stock market!
If you have any questions or suggestions you can leave it in the comments!
Greetings!
Measure Volume, Momentum, Trend, VolatilityThis script displays the following indicators in one pane to quickly determine several important factors regarding price action. It allows the user to quickly see all of most important factors surrounding price action in one pane with one quick glance. This should be incredibly helpful and allow things like double divergence and trend confirmation to be spotted much more quickly. I personally use the data in this indicator to replace four separate indicators and it has brought my win rate and profit factor significantly higher. I hadn't seen any place where all of the best J. Welles Wilder indicators such as RSI, Parabolic SAR, and DMI/ADX were brought into one easy to use interface. This is my attempt at fixing that gap. For a much deeper understanding of how to use these indicators, I recommend reading New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems written by J. Welles Wilder.
Momentum via RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Volume via MFI (Money Flow Index)
Volatility via DMI/ADX (Direction Movement Index/Average Directional Index)
Trend via Parabolic SAR (Parabolic Stop and Reverse)
It is worth noting that DMI/ADX and Parabolic SAR can both help determine trend strength and volatility.
The Volatility mechanism is measured by DMI and ADX and displayed at the top of the pane using circles. The top, tiny circles reflect if show if positive DI or negative DI has a higher value. The small circles directly underneath indicate whether or not the ADX is above 20 (configurable, some may choose to increase this to 25 or even 30).
The Momentum mechanism is shown as standard RSI with the default being a white line and default period of 14, which is all configurable.
The Volume mechanism is shown as standard MFI with the default being a fuchsia line and default period of 14, which is also configurable.
The momentum and volume oscillators should be used in conjunction to help spot whether the trend is strong or weak using divergences and the middle, overbought, and oversold levels. These levels are also configurable.
The Trend mechanism is measured by Parabolic SAR and displayed at the bottom of the pane using diamonds. The default is red diamonds when in a bear trend, green when in an uptrend which is configurable. When price is above the Parabolic SAR, it is considered to be an uptrend. When price is below the Parabolic SAR, it is considered to be a downtrend. The way price is measured is also configurable (i.e. open, close, ohlc4, hlc3, etc.). When price crossed above or below the Parabolic SAR, the diamonds will change colors.
All the indicators displayed should be used in a well rounded strategy. For instance, I only trade when ADX is above 20 and rarely trade against the trend shown via PSAR. When trend shifts and divergences helped indicate a trend shift would occur using the RSI and MFI, it can be a great spot to take an entry. RSI/MFI can also confirm the trend is strong when they are not showing divergences and inline with price action. All of this data should be used in conjunction with good fundamental data and technical levels. Divergences with RSI and MFI on double tops or bottoms can also be incredibly powerful. There is no right or wrong way to use all the data displayed in this indicator, however using all four pillars of trading (Momentum, Volume, Trend, Volatility) will help ensure only the best trades are taken.
Honey CypherHoney Cypher Aims to do 4 things
Momentum
Trend Strength
Overbought and oversold zones
Being the most beautiful indicator you ever see
Momentum
The big yellow honey waves primary use is to see the momentum of the market, they can be used in a similar way you would use a MACD or Chaikin Money Flow
On this image you see the honey waves being plotted to the 30 minute timeframe while on the 5 minute chart to have an understanding of longer time momentum in the chart.
Trend Strength
Most tools of the indicator can be used for that but the yellow and purple slope strength lines are made specificaly for this. When you see them curl down you know trend is strengthening towards the downside.
The candle color is based on the amount of Honey waves sloping in one direction. This might be the best tool in the indicator to find Trend Strength. Bright yellow candles mean strong bears while the bright blue candles mean strong bulls.
Overbought and oversold zones
By analysing the waves on a chart you start to learn how big waves can get before a reversal or consolidation period arrives.
You can become profitable with the indicator. But to be honest, my primary focus in making this indicator was find ways to visualise alot of data in a clear and beautiful way.
You should use the indicator with some out of the box ideas instead of just trusting the signals.
examples:
Find a head and shoulders pattern on the top of a huge honey wave.
Find a bottom small wave while the others honey waves are in the opposite direction for entering a pullback.
Use the honey for direction but the yellow and purple slope line crosses for entrys.
Comment your own strategys, I made this open source to be able to get community feedback.
The Honey Cypher waves are calculated in a similar way as the MACD histogram. I've combined MACD formula with some of the lazybear formula. It looks for the distance between 2 moving averages to find trend strength. After that the end results get's smoothed out. It is very satisfying to change that as you can see the honey waves create a melting like motion on each change of smoothing.
Below a preview of the honey cypher moving average lines, all lines have a length that is based on the fibonacci number sequence. Honey cypher measures the distance between for example length 5-8 averages.
I hope this inspires coders to create very beautiful scripts.
Leonidas Squeeze Momentum SystemThis indicator is based on LazyBear SQ Momentum Indicator and SQ Plus Indicator.
This indicator is using ADX and Squeeze Momentum Indicator.
When you see the ADX above 0 line and the slop is positive that means the trend is strong
When the ADX is below 0 line and the trend is weak you will see the slop negative and the color gray
When we see the SQ changing the color from Red to Yellow that means the sell pressure is decreasing this could be a potential buy signal
When we see the color changing from blue to dark blue that means the buy pressure is decreasing this could be a a potential sell signal
Bull/Bear divergences supported
Added SQ signal
this signal is an exponential moving average following the SQ main signal useful for filtering fake signals.
This indicator is very powerful but offers many fake signals it is recommended using this indicator with other indicators to confirm the entries
Strength Momentum IndicatorThis indicator is a fork of . It takes it a step further by including RSI and ADX information, which are represented in this indicator as follows:
MOM: The histogram itself is a linear regression curve, by default for the study period the Fibonacci series and exponential moving average were used. You can adjust the settings to your liking.
RSI: Whenever the RSI is outside the normal ranges (which you can adjust in the settings), the bar in the histogram will turn amber to warn you.
ADX: Crosses are drawn along the 0 line to indicate the ADX . Blue means that the ADX is below the trend level (adjustable in the settings), and orange means that it is above that level. Darker colors indicate that the ADX has risen from the previous bar, while lighter colors indicate that it has fallen.
Almost all of the normally adjustable values can be adjusted in the settings for each of the base indicators. Also adjustable:
The RSI alert levels (30 and 70 by default).
The ADX crossover, i.e. the point at which the ADX value is considered to indicate a strong trend (25 by default).
All colors, naturally.
Squeeze Momentum + Volatility [LeonidasCrypto]Based on Squeeze Momentum indicator by LazyBear
This custom version of SQ is part of my Trading System.
How to use it.
Please read the description of the original author of this indicator here.
Volatility .
When the market is contracting or sideways usually you will see red or blue dots.
Blue dots. the market is in sideways and the volatility is low.
Red dots. the market is in the climax of volatility usually after of a big move this is a potential signal the peak of the move is near.
I added volatility to SQ because I consider volatility is a key factor for trading to anticipate the moves.
Natural Market Slope [CC]The Natural Market Slope was created by Jim Sloman and this is one of his many Ocean Indicators which I'm publishing thanks to receiving source materials from @altcoinz and @tmac87. I did completely rewrite the formula for this indicator but I commented out the original calculation so you can compare or just for study purposes. I like this version better because it is very smooth and the original formula is a bit faster with response but is very choppy in comparison.
This indicator was the basis for his Natural Market Combo which I will be publishing very soon so stay tuned for that. The idea behind all of his Natural indicators was to use the natural log of the current price in different ways. This indicator obviously focuses on the slope and it essentially becomes another momentum indicator which peaks when the upward momentum is gone and vice versa. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. I have added strong buy and sell signals in addition to the normal ones and strong signals are darker in color in comparison to the original lighter colors.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Relative Momentum Index This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
The Relative Momentum Index (RMI) was developed by Roger Altman. Impressed
with the Relative Strength Index's sensitivity to the number of look-back
periods, yet frustrated with it's inconsistent oscillation between defined
overbought and oversold levels, Mr. Altman added a momentum component to the RSI.
As mentioned, the RMI is a variation of the RSI indicator. Instead of counting
up and down days from close to close as the RSI does, the RMI counts up and down
days from the close relative to the close x-days ago where x is not necessarily
1 as required by the RSI). So as the name of the indicator reflects, "momentum" is
substituted for "strength".

QQEMoMoTV█ OVERVIEW
This plots the QQE (Quantitive Qualitative Estimation)
with the addition of labels to show areas to watch out for and a colored cloud to show Green Upwards or Red Downwards Momentum
The QQE indicator is based on Wilder's RSI, which is based on a smoothed RSI comparing the change (delta Δ) between between bars
to compute the FastTL and SlowTL depending on the RSI Period, Slow Factor and QQE settings selected
As this works similarly to the RSI, it provides areas of overbought and oversold, and a cross at 50 for more bullish or more bearish
The FastTL and SlowTL crossovers works similarly to the crossover of a fast and slow moving average which can indicate bullish or bearish
When the SlowTL crosses above the FastTL a Green cloud indicating upwards momentum is drawn and vice versa when FastTL crosses above SlowTL
Bullish signals generated when Blue line crosses above Orange line, or Green MoMo cloud, Uptrend
Bearish signals generated when Orange line crosses above Blue line, or Red MoMo cloud, Downtrend
QQE Areas of interest:
Oversold: QQE < 33, Overbought: QQE > 67
Cross at 50: QQE crossing 50, this is an area that is between more bullish >50 and more bearish <50 zones
Note: as 50 is the switch between more bullish or more bearish zones , it is common to watch out for Support/Resistance Tests at this level
Tip: when QQE appears to be flat, this indicates a flat trend, this can commonly happen around the 50 zone when direction is relatively undecided, see the image below for an example
Very Overbought: QQE > 90, Careful! Watch out! QQE is showing very overbought and is generally a good area to take profit as others may sell soon too
QQE Fast settings: gives earlier signals, but also gives more shorter term signals
RSI_Period = 6, Slow_Factor = 3, QQE = 2.621
QQE Slow settings: gives more reliable signals, but sometimes a little late, best to use both fast and slow together for confirmation of the trend
RSI_Period = 20, Slow_Factor = 5, QQE = 4.236
You can add the QQEMoMoTV indicator to your chart twice and change one of them to the Fast settings and one of them to the Slow settings.
By comparing the QQEMoMoTV Fast and QQEMoMoTV Slow together you can get a better idea of the overall trend.
To best determine if this is a entry point or a trend reversal, it is recommended to use in conjunction with the MashumeHullTV indicator
█ FEATURES
Calculations
Calculates the change (delta Δ) between between bars based on Wilder's smoothed RSI to compute the FastTL (Orange) and SlowTL (Blue) lines
These are dependent on the QQE Fast settings or QQE Slow settings from the input RSI Period, Slow Factor and QQE selected
Labels are shown when QQE crosses areas of interest on the chart as Label text and shown with white dots on the QQEMoMoTV indicator
Inputs
You can use the script's inputs to configure:
• Calculation Source (default close)
• RSI Period (default 20)
• Slow Factor (default 5)
• QQE (default 4.236)
• Whether to show Green/Red MoMo Cloud
• Whether to show the QQE Label
• Style and Position of the QQELabel (default None)
None is selected as default to take up least space for optimal viewing when on Tradingview mobile, but you are free to change the style however you like
Alerts
Buy Signal alert based on rsi_ma crossing above FastAtrRsiTL, when Blue Line Cross above Orange Line, Green MoMo Cloud, Bullish
Sell Signal alert based on FastAtrRsiTL crossing above rsi_ma, when Orange Line Cross above Blue Line, Red MoMo Cloud, Bearish

Crypto momentum strategyThis strategy is based on LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum indicator. It analyzes when the trend in the momentum is shifting, locating the peaks and the valleys, and takes those as sell and buy signals respectively. This is a long strategy, so it also takes into consideration the 50 period Exponential Moving Average to identify upward trends. If the closing price of the candle is above the 50EMA, and the slope of the 50EMA is trending upwards, then the buy signal is executed. If these conditions are not met, the buy signal is ignored.
This strategy works well with crypto trading on the day/week charts.
It has a profit ratio of 4:1 on average, and roughly half of the trades are profitable.
CT Reverse Stochastic Momentum IndexIntroducing the Caretakers Reverse Stochastic Momentum Index .
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 was 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.
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 price level where the SMI will equal :
Upper alert level ( default 40 )
Zero-Line
Lower alert level ( default -40 )
Signal line
The user can infer from these values that when closing prices cross the levels shown, the SMI will cross the indicated level or signal line.
If the price value is less than zero the value will show "impossible".
The advantage of knowing the exact prices that this will happen should give the user an additional edge and precision in risk management.
These crossover levels are displayed via an optional infobox with choice of user selected info.
There is an option to change the decimal places shown.
For easy and intuitive reading of the indicator when ….
SMI is above the signal line both the SMI and Signal line and the space between them is Green.
SMI is below the signal line both the SMI and Signal line and the space between them is Red.
SMI is above the Zeroline the space between them is Green.
SMI is below the Zeroline the space between them is Red.
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 above the zeroline, a buy signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses below the zeroline, a sell signal is generated.
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 / take profit is generated
When the SMI line crosses below the signal line. A signal to sell / take profit is generated.
Traders also look for divergences between the SMI itself or the SMI histogram 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.
Chande Momentum Strat (Crossover)This is a Chande Momentum strategy that buys and sells when the line crosses the buy and sell lines. Different signal then the other Chande Momentum strategy. In my opinion they both work better at different time frames and possibly commodities.
Accumulation and Distribution MomentumThis applies Chande Momentum to Accumulation and Distribution index as a means to changes.
Experimental oscillator.
Compare it to both Money Flows, Acc/Dis and Chande and you notice it has elements of all of them. Could potentially replace other volume based momentum indicators in your strategy.
It is a little more volatile, reaching from side to side, while having a tendency to lean towards the side that gets the most action over a longer period of time.
It also tends to reach and hang in oversold regions BEFORE a pump - something I noticed.
Could be used as an early warning sign as well as for overall trend analysis.
CHOP Zone Entry Strategy + DMI/PSAR ExitThis is a Strategy with associated visual indicators and Long/Short and Reverse/Close Position Alerts for the Choppiness Index (CHOP) . It is used to determine if the market is choppy (trading sideways) or not choppy (trading within a trend in either direction). CHOP is not directional, so a DMI script was ported into this strategy to allow for trend confirmation and direction determination; it consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) . In addition, a Parabolic SAR is also included to act as a trailing stop during any strong trends.
Development Notes
---------------------------
This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use.
www.tradingview.com
www.tradingview.com
www.tradingview.com
Recommend using the below DMI and PSAR indicators in conjunction with this script to fully visualize and understand how entry and exit conditions are chosen. Variable inputs should correlate between the scripts for uniformity and visual compatibility.
THANKS to LazyBear and his Momentum Squeeze script for helping me quickly develop a momentum state model for coloring the Chop line by trend.
Strategy Description
---------------------------
CHOP produces values that determine whether the market is choppy or trending . The closer the value is to 100 , the higher the choppiness levels , while the closer it is to 0 , the stronger the market is trending . Territories for both levels, and their associated upper and lower thresholds, are popularly defined using the Fibonacci Retracements, 61.8 and 38.2.
Basic Use
---------------------------
CHOP is often used to confirm the market condition to help you stay out of sideways markets and only enter when there is movement or imminent explosions. When readings are above the upper threshold, continued sideways movement may be expected, while readings below the lower threshold are typically indicative of a continuing trend. It is also used to anticipate upcoming trendiness changes, with the general belief that extended periods of consolidation (sideways movement) are followed by extended periods of strong, trending, directional movement, and vice versa.
One limitation in this index is that you must be cautious in deciding whether the range or trend will likely continue, or if it will reverse.
Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- while this strategy combines CHOP with both DMI and PSAR, we would still recommend pairing with other indicators to determine entry or exit trade opportunities.
Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts.
Inputs
---------------------------
Strategy Direction - an option to only trade Short, Long, Both, or only in the direction of the Trend (Follow Trend is the Default).
Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same trend state before triggering a delayed long or short alert (1 is the Default). Can help filter out noise and reduces active alerts.
Show Chop Index - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible Chop line with a background overlay, or a compact column and label only view.
Chop Lookback Period - the time period to be used in calculating CHOP (14 is the Default).
Chop Offset - changing this number will move the CHOP either forwards or backwards relative to the current market (0 is the Default).
Smooth Chop Line and Length - if enabled, the entered time period will be used in calculating a smooth average of the index (Enabled and 4 are the Defaults).
Color Line to Trend Direction - toggles whether the index line is colored to visually depict the current trend direction (Enabled is the Default).
Color Background - toggles the visibility of a background color based on the index state (Enabled is the Default).
Enable DMI Option - if enabled, then entry will be confirmed by and dependent on the ADX Key Level, with any close or reversal confirmed by both ADX and +/-DI to determine whether there is a strong trend present or not (Enabled is the Default).
ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default).
DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default).
ADX Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting).
Enable PSAR Option - enables trailing stop loss orders (Enabled is the Default).
PSAR Start - the starting value for the Acceleration Force (0.015 is our chosen Default, 0.02 is more common).
PSAR Increment - the increment in which the Acceleration Force will move (0.001 is our chosen Default, 0.02 is more common).
PSAR Max Value - the maximum value of the Acceleration Factor (0.2 is the Default).
Color Candles Option - an option to transpose the CHOP condition levels to the main candle bars. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe.
Note too that if both DMI and PSAR are deselected, then close determinations will default to a CHOP reversal strategy (e.g., close long when below 38.2 and close short when above 61.8). Though if either DMI or PSAR are enabled, then the CHOP reversal for close determination will automatically be disabled.
Indicator Visuals
---------------------------
For the candle colors, black indicates tight chop (45 to 55), yellow is loose chop (38.2 to 45 and 55 to 61.8), dark purple is trending down (< 38.2), and dark blue is trending up (> 61.8).
The background color has additional shades to differentiate a wider range of more levels…
• < 30 is dark purple
• 30 to 38.2 is purple
• 38.2 to 45 is light purple
• 45 to 55 is black
• 55 to 61.8 is light blue
• 61.8 to 70 is blue
• > 70 is dark blue
Long, Short, Close, and Reverse labels are plotted on the Chop line, which itself can be colored based on the trend. The chop line can also be hidden for a clean and compact, columnar view, which is my preferred option (see example image below).
Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this strategy and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading plan.
DMI and Trend Strength
---------------------------
To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines. An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend , while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend . A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values.
DMI exits trade when ADX is below the user selected key level (e.g., default is 25) and when the +/- DI lines cross (e.g., -DI > +DI exits long position and +DI > -DI exits short position).
PSAR and Trailing Stop
---------------------------
PSAR is a time and price based indicator that excels at measuring direction and duration, though not the actual strength of a trend, which is why we use this in conjunction with DMI. It is also included in this script as a trailing stop option to maximize gains during strong trends and to mitigate any false ADX strengthening signals.
This creates a parabola that is located below the candle during a Bullish trend and above during a Bearish trend. A buy or reversal is signaled when the price crosses above or below the Parabolic SAR.
Long/Short Entry
---------------------------
1. CHOP must be over 61.8 (long) or under 38.2 (short).
2. If DMI is enabled, then the ADX signal line must be above the user selected Key Level (default is 25).
3. If Sensitivity is selected, then that past candle must meet the criteria in step 1, as well as all the intermediate candles in between.
4. If "Follow Trend" is selected and PSAR is enabled, then a long position can only open when the momentum and PSAR are in an uptrend, or short when both are in a downtrend, to include all intermediate candles if the Sensitivity option is set on a past candle.
Close/Reverse
---------------------------
1. If DMI is enabled, then a close flag will be raised when the ADX signal drops below the Key Level (of 25), and -DI crosses over +DI (if long), or +DI crosses over -DI (if short).
2. If PSAR is enabled, then a close flag will be raised when the current trend state is opposite the last state.
3. If both DMI and PSAR are disabled, then a close flag will be raised if the Chop line drops under 38.2 (if long) or goes over 61.8 (if short).
4. If a Long or Short Entry is triggered on the same candle as any of the above close flags, then the position will be reversed, else the position will be closed.
Strategy Alerts
---------------------------
1. Long Entry
2. Short Entry
3. Reverse
4. Close
The provided backtest result is based on a position sizing of 10% equity with 100k initial capital. When testing SPX, disabling the DMI performed the best, but EURUSD performed poorly without it enabled, and TSLA had a small reduction in net profit. Timeframe likewise differed between commodities with TSLA performing best at 30M, SPX at 15M, and EURUSD at 4H. I do not plan on using this as a standalone strategy, but I also was expecting better results with the inclusion of EMI and PSAR to compliment the CHOP. Key elements of this script will likely be included in future, more holistic strategies.
Disclaimer
---------------------------
Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
No known repainting, though there may be if an offset is introduced in the Inputs. I did my best not to code any other variables that repaint, but cannot fully attest to this fact.
True Momentum Oscillator - Universal Edition"TMO calculates momentum using the delta of price. Giving a much better picture of trend, trend reversals and divergence than momentum oscillators using price".
This is an implementation of the popular ToS indicator TMO . It incorporates a few improvements on the original code, which have also been proposed upstream. Please read the opening comment in the code.
How to use this indicator?
You can think of this indicator as a mix of RSI and MACD .
Similarly to RSI , it has overbought and oversold levels.
Similarly to MACD it has a TMO line and a signal line. The histogram shows the difference between those lines and easily lets you spot crossovers.
What does this indicator do?
In its default configuration, it looks at the last 14 candles and determines a score based on whether the current price is higher or lower than those candles. This reacts to breakouts very quickly, especially after a consolidation period.
Triangular Momentum Oscillator & Real Time Divergences [LuxAlgo]Oscillators are widely used in technical analysis and can return a large amount of information to the trader depending on their design. It is common to use oscillators to detect divergences with the price, divergences occur when the tops/bottoms made by the oscillator and price are negatively correlated.
The following oscillator is based on the momentum of a triangular moving average, hence the name "triangular momentum" because of the very smooth property of the triangular moving average, we aimed at a real-time detection of divergences instead of using more common methods such as relying on pivot high/low detection which are suitable for more noisy oscillators.
The oscillator can also be colored based on a gradient derived from the correlation between its output and the price which can be useful to detect when the oscillator is out of phase (significantly lagging or leading the price).
Settings
length : Period of the oscillator, higher values return a smoother output.
src : Input source of the indicator.
Show Lines : Show lines connecting the current top/bottom with the previous one made by the oscillator when a divergence is detected. True by default.
Color Based On Price/Oscillator Correlation : Allows the color of the oscillator to change based on its correlation with the price, with red colors suggesting a negative correlation.
Usages
The advantage of having a smoother oscillator for divergences detection is that it can be done in real-time since a top or bottom is present when the oscillator first difference cross 0. Smoother oscillators are also easier to interpret, however, they will still suffer from lag.
The divergences detected by the oscillator are regular divergences, where the oscillator leads price variations.
Using higher values of length allows the oscillator to filter out longer-term variations thus being smoother as a result.
By using the color mode based on the price/oscillator correlation we can see where the oscillator leads or lag the price, and since divergences are based on the price and oscillator going in the opposite direction we can have information where price might reverse.
It is also possible to interpret the oscillator without relying on the divergence detection, with a decreasing value of the oscillator indicating a downtrend and an increasing value indicating an uptrend.
