Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Signal (VAMS)

🔹 VAMS — Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Signal | QuantumResearch
Purpose:
VAMS is a composite momentum oscillator that merges price momentum and volatility momentum using z-score transformations. It helps identify meaningful trend shifts by emphasizing both directional move strength and the volatility regime.

How It Works:
The system builds two independent z-scores:

Price Z-Score: Measures how far current price deviates from its EMA.
Volatility Z-Score: Applies the same logic to volatility (standard deviation of price).
Both z-scores are combined to produce a Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Signal (Z_total), which is then compared to dynamic thresholds based on rolling standard deviation.

Signal Classification:

Bullish: Z_total exceeds upper dynamic threshold.
Bearish: Z_total falls below lower dynamic threshold.
Neutral: Values in between.
Display Features:

Oscillator line color-coded by signal state (bullish/bearish/neutral).
Background and bar colors reflect momentum strength using a gradient scale.
Real-time info table showing:
Z-score and rate-of-change (ROC) for both price and volatility.
Final momentum classification.
Key Features:

Fuses price and volatility into a single adaptive oscillator.
Dynamic thresholds prevent false signals in low-volatility environments.
Suitable for trend identification, momentum stacking, or signal confirmation.
Performance Notes:
VAMS has been tested on BTC, ETH, and ETH/BTC and consistently aligns well with trend inflection points — particularly during volatility regime shifts.

Trading Application:

Confirm breakouts or breakdowns.
Spot early trend strength.
Avoid false signals during low-volatility noise.
