BE-QuantFlow: Adaptive Momentum Trading█ Overview: QuantFlow: Adaptive Momentum Trading
QuantFlow is a sophisticated algorithmic momentum trading method designed specifically for indices and high-beta stocks. However, its logic is universal; with appropriate parameter tuning, it adapts to various asset classes and timeframes.
While the standard momentum indicators (like RSI or MACD) simply measure how fast price is moving (Velocity), QuantFlow analyzes the quality and conviction of the trend . Features like Dynamic Volatility Filtering and Trend Shielding, combined with volatility weighting and a "Dual-Line" approach to distinguish between a sustainable institutional trend and a temporary retail spike, make the indicator unique and more powerful.
█ Why QuantFlow ?
Quant (The Engine): This replaces subjective guessing with objective math.
Instead of just seeing that the price is "up," we measure "how it got there". For example, a stock that rises 1 currency value every day for 10 days (smooth trend) gets a much higher score than a stock that jumps 10 currency value in one minute and does nothing else (erratic noise). This mathematical rigor provides the structure.
█ Core Logic & Philosophy
To understand how QuantFlow calculates momentum, imagine a "Tug-of-War" between Buyers (Bulls) and Sellers (Bears). Most indicators (like RSI) use a single line. If RSI is at 50, it means "Neutral." But "Neutral" can mean two very different things:
Peace: Nothing is happening. No one is buying or selling.
War: Buyers are pushing hard, but Sellers are pushing back equally hard. Volatility is massive.
A single line hides this reality. QuantFlow splits the market into two separate scores:
Bull Score (Green Line): How hard are the buyers pushing?
Bear Score (Red Line): How hard are the sellers pushing?
The Layman's Advantage:
If both lines are low = Sleepy Market (Avoid).
If Green is high and Red is low = Clean Uptrend (Buy).
If Red is high and Green is low = Clean Downtrend (Sell).
If both lines are high = Chaos/War Zone (Wait).
█ How it Weight "Sustenance" (The Critical Quality Check)
This is the most unique aspect of QuantFlow: Trend direction alone is not enough; Sustenance is weighed equally . Standard indicators treat every 10 currency value movements the same way with no distinction. However, QuantFlow asks, "Did you hold the ground you gained?"
Scenario A (High Sustenance) : A stock opens at 100, marches to 110, and closes at 110.
Verdict : Buyers pushed up and sustained the price.
QuantFlow Weight : 100%. This is a high-quality move.
Scenario B (Low Sustenance) : A stock opens at 100, spikes to 110, but gets sold off to close at 102.
Verdict : Buyers pushed up (Trend is Up), but failed to sustain it (Long Wick).
QuantFlow Weight : 20%. This is treated as "Noise" or a trap.
By mathematically weighing the Close Location Value (where the candle closes relative to its high/low), QuantFlow filters out "Gap-and-Fade" traps and exhaustion spikes that fool traditional indicators.
Comparisons: QuantFlow vs. The Rest
Calculation Logic : Standard RSI/MACD measures simple price change over time. QuantFlow measures Price Change 'times (x)' Conviction (Sustenance Weighting).
Visual Output : Standard tools show a single line (0-100), often hiding market conflict. QuantFlow displays Dual Lines (Bull vs Bear Intensity) to reveal the true state of the battle.
Trap Handling : Standard indicators are often fooled by sharp spikes. QuantFlow ignores "Gap-and-Fade" moves with poor closing conviction.
Adaptability : Standard tools use static levels (e.g., Overbought > 70). QuantFlow uses Dynamic Bands that adjust automatically to recent volatility.
█ Dynamic Volatility Filtering
Unlike standard indicators that use fixed levels (e.g., "Buy if RSI > 50"), QuantFlow acknowledges that "50" means something different in a quiet market versus a crashing market. This section explains the statistical engine driving the signals.
The Problem with Static Levels : In a low-volatility environment, a momentum score of 55 might indicate a massive breakout. In a high-volatility environment, a score of 55 might just be random noise. A fixed threshold cannot handle both scenarios.
The Solution: Adaptive Statistics : The script maintains a memory of the Momentum Events. It doesn't just look at price; it looks at where the momentum occurred in the past and draws a "Noise Zone" (Grey Band). This logic acts as a "Smart Gatekeeper" for trade entries:
Scenario A: Inside the Noise (The Filter)
If a new momentum signal happens inside the Noise Zone, the script assumes it is likely chop or noise.
Action : It forces a wait period. The signal is delayed until the trend sustains itself for Confirm Bars; else the signal is cancelled. This filters out ~70% of false signals in sideways markets.
Scenario B: Outside the Noise (The Breakout)
If a new momentum signal happens outside the Noise Zone (or the momentum score smashes through the Upper Band), it is statistically significant (an outlier event).
Action: It triggers an Immediate Entry. No waiting is required because the move is powerful enough to escape the historical noise zone.
█ The ⚠️ "Warning" System (Heads-up for Smart Reversals)
While you are directional if there is potential reversal signal, it provides the heads-up warning for a better decision-making
█ Special Utility: Ghost Mode
For intraday traders, the biggest disruption to "Flow" is the mandatory broker square-off at 3:15 PM (considering Indian Market). Often, a trend continues overnight, and the trader misses the gap-up opening the next morning because their algo was flat.
Ghost Mode is a unique feature that runs silently in the background:
At Square-off: The strategy closes your official position to satisfy the broker.
In the Background: It keeps the trade "alive" virtually (Ghost).
Next Morning: If the market opens in the trend's favor, the strategy re-enters the trade automatically. This approach ensures you capture the full swing of the trend, even if you are forced to exit at the previous session.
█ Advice on this indicator:
Parameter Calibration: The default settings are optimized for BankNifty on 5-minute charts. If you trade stocks, crypto, commodities, or any higher timeframes (e.g., 15-min or hourly), you must adjust these.
Low Volatility Assets: Reduce Stop Multiplier to 2.0.
High Volatility Assets: Increase Momentum Lookback to 50 to filter noise.
Confluence (Additional Confirmation): While QuantFlow is a complete system, using it alongside Key Support/Resistance Levels or Volume Profile provides the highest probability setups.

Aura Vortex Oscillator [Pineify]Aura Vortex Oscillator – Adaptive Momentum with Visual Depth
The Aura Vortex Oscillator is a sophisticated momentum indicator that transforms raw price action into a visually immersive analytical tool. By combining Sigmoid-based normalization through ArcTan mathematics with adaptive momentum calculations, this oscillator delivers clear, bounded signals while filtering market noise. The distinctive "Vortex Mesh" visualization creates a layered depth effect that reveals trend consensus across multiple smoothing periods.
Key Features
Sigmoid normalization using ArcTan function for bounded output (-100 to +100)
Adaptive momentum calculation with standard deviation normalization
Multi-layered "Vortex Mesh" creating visual depth and trend confluence signals
Dynamic color-coded visualization for instant trend recognition
Zero-line crossover signals with plotted reversal markers
Extreme zone highlighting for overbought/oversold conditions
How It Works
The core calculation begins with computing the Z-score of price relative to its simple moving average, normalized by standard deviation. This adaptive component automatically adjusts sensitivity based on recent volatility. The normalized value then passes through an ArcTan function, which acts as a sigmoid transformation, "squarifying" the output to emphasize extreme conditions while keeping values bounded.
os = atan(z × intensity) × 63.66
The multiplier 63.66 scales the output to approximately -100 to +100, providing intuitive overbought/oversold levels at ±50.
Trading Ideas and Insights
Use zero-line crossovers as primary trend change signals – bullish when crossing above, bearish when crossing below
Monitor the Vortex Mesh thickness – a thick, solid aura indicates strong trend consensus across timeframes
Watch for background highlighting at ±50 levels to identify statistical extremes for potential reversals
Combine with price action analysis when the oscillator reaches boundary zones
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The Aura Vortex Oscillator integrates three technical concepts into one cohesive system. The adaptive momentum calculation provides the raw signal, responding dynamically to market volatility. The ArcTan normalization bounds this signal and emphasizes extremes without clipping. Finally, the Vortex Mesh applies multiple EMA smoothing layers to the base signal, creating visual depth that shows whether different momentum speeds agree on trend direction.
Unique Aspects
Unlike traditional oscillators that show a single line, this indicator visualizes momentum as a "thermal field" through its layered mesh system. The mesh expands and contracts based on trend agreement – a thick, cohesive glow suggests high-confluence momentum, while a thin, scattered appearance warns of choppy, range-bound conditions.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart as a separate pane
Look for color transitions (green to red or vice versa) at zero-line crosses for trend reversals
Use the ±50 boundary zones and background highlighting to identify overextended conditions
Enable the Vortex Mesh to visualize trend strength and momentum consensus
Customization
Vortex Sensitivity (20) : Base period for momentum calculation – lower values increase responsiveness
Vortex Intensity (2.0) : Amplifies signal squarification – higher values push readings toward extremes faster
Aura Smoothing (8) : EMA period for the main signal line – higher values reduce noise
Enable Vortex Mesh : Toggle the layered visualization effect
Color Settings : Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral colors
Conclusion
The Aura Vortex Oscillator offers traders a unique perspective on momentum analysis by combining mathematical rigor with innovative visualization. Its adaptive normalization ensures reliable signals across different market conditions, while the Vortex Mesh provides instant visual feedback on trend quality. Whether you are identifying trend reversals, measuring momentum strength, or seeking confluence confirmation, this oscillator delivers actionable insights in an intuitive format.
Accumulative Swing Cloud [MarkitTick]💡This indicator presents a modernized hybrid approach to J. Welles Wilder’s classical Accumulative Swing Index (ASI). While the traditional ASI is often viewed as a simple line oscillator used to confirm price breakouts, the Accumulative Swing Cloud reconstructs this concept into a dynamic trend-following system. By smoothing the raw ASI data into multiple moving average layers, this script creates a "Cloud" structure that visualizes the strength, direction, and momentum of the swing index, effectively treating the ASI value itself as a tradeable price action entity.
● Originality and Utility
The standard Accumulative Swing Index is a powerful tool for seeing through the "noise" of open, high, low, and close prices to find the real trend. However, looking at a raw ASI line can be jagged and difficult to interpret for sustained trends. This script innovates by applying "Cloud Dynamics" to the ASI. It calculates three distinct moving averages (Fast, Mid, and Slow) of the ASI value itself. The area between the Fast and Slow averages is filled with a dynamic gradient color. This allows traders to not only see the trend direction (Bullish or Bearish) but also gauge the volatility and strength of the move based on the expansion or contraction of the cloud's width. Additionally, this version introduces an optional Volume Integration feature, allowing the Swing Index calculations to be weighted by relative volume, giving more significance to moves backed by high market participation.
● Methodology and Calculations
The core of this indicator relies on the Swing Index calculation. It compares the current bar's Open, High, Low, and Close against the previous bar's values to derive a variable "R" (a measure of the market's range).
The script determines the largest price movement (K) among the High-Close, Low-Close, and High-Low ranges.
It calculates the "R" value based on the relationship between the daily range and the gap between the prior close and current open.
A Swing Index (SI) value is derived using the Limit Move value (T), the defined Multiplier, and the calculated R and K values.
This SI is accumulated into a running total (ASI State).
If Volume Integration is enabled, the SI is multiplied by a Volume Factor (Current Volume divided by Average Volume), capped at 3.0 to prevent outlier distortion.
● Visual Guide
The indicator plots several key visual elements on the chart:
Cloud Fast (Green Line): Represents the shorter-term moving average of the Accumulative Swing Index.
Cloud Slow (Red Line): Represents the longer-term moving average.
Cloud Fill (Gradient Area): The space between the Fast and Slow lines.
Green Gradient: Indicates the Fast MA is above the Slow MA (Bullish Trend).
Red Gradient: Indicates the Fast MA is below the Slow MA (Bearish Trend).
Gradient Intensity: The opacity of the color scales dynamically based on the width of the cloud relative to its recent historical maximum. A wider cloud (stronger trend/higher volatility) appears more solid, while a narrow cloud appears more transparent.
ASI Line (Color-Coded Line): The thick line represents the current raw Accumulative Swing Index value. It changes color (Green/Red) based on its position relative to the Signal Line.
Signal Line (Gray Line): A Simple Moving Average of the ASI Line, acting as a trigger for immediate reversals.
Bar Coloring: The main price candles are colored to match the current state of the Cloud (Green for Bullish Cloud, Red for Bearish Cloud).
● How to Use
Trend Identification: Use the Cloud color to determine the primary trend. A Green Cloud suggests an uptrending market structure, while a Red Cloud suggests a downtrend.
Entry Signals: Traders often look for the "ASI Line" to cross the "Signal Line" in the direction of the Cloud. For example, if the Cloud is Green, a crossover of the ASI Line above the Signal Line is a bullish confirmation.
Cloud Crossovers: A crossover of the Fast and Slow Cloud lines represents a major structural shift in the Accumulative Swing Index trend.
Volatility Filter: Pay attention to the gradient intensity. A very narrow (transparent) cloud indicates low momentum or consolidation, while a widening (solid) cloud indicates expanding momentum.
● Inputs and Settings
ASI Core Engine: Configure the Daily Limit (T) and Multiplier to tune the sensitivity of the Swing Index calculation.
Volume Integration: Toggle "Weight ASI by Volume" to factor in volume spikes. Adjust "Volume Avg Length" to define the baseline volume.
Cloud Dynamics: Choose the Moving Average type (EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA) and set the Fast, Mid, and Slow lengths to customize the cloud's reactivity.
Visual Enhancements: Toggle "Color Candles by Cloud Width" to apply the gradient coloring directly to the price bars.

JRockets MACDThis is my favorite indicator, that I use as one of my conformations before entering a trade in the 15M timeframe This MACD is tailor made by me to work efficient, consistent, and effectively. I back tested tons of times, it helps if you're entering too early, late and even get faked out. The MACD is by far my favorite and one and only indicator, and here's why. The MACD contains 2 EMA lines where it gives me a signal on when to buy or sell. If the Blue line crosses the red line on the bottom of the indicator its giving buy signals as long as the blue line stays on top, and when the red line crosses the blue line on top of the indicator its giving sell signals as long as the redline stay on top. Be sure to pay attention to the candle stick patterns as well and has to be around key levels. What makes this a better signal as well, the MACD has a built-in momentum hologram, some see it as overbought/undersold, or volume indicator. By combining the momentum hologram with your buy/sell ema will prevent you from entering a trade in the wrong area. The momentum hologram is almost self-explanatory, when there is buying pressure, the hologram turns blue, the darker the blue the stronger the momentum as well as the length of the hologram, once is start losing momentum it starts to turn to a lighter blue. Eventually a light red to a solid red showing momentum for a strong sell, this works vice versa. Combing all that at once and built instincts it becomes very effective. You can also use the EMA signals as divergence, but I don't really trade with divergence but could possibly give you conformation. Using the MACD is like having 3-4 indicators in one with all of them working fluent together. I have the MACD locked on the 15M timeframe because that's where it works more accurately. You can make the EMA lines a bit thicker to be easier to see. I would change the MACD visible for the 15M timeframe only or 1M to 1H timeframe. I hope this indicator helps you, as it did for me. You can simply click add on your charts on the top left to get this free indicator. Peace out and enjoy! Be sure to share, this indicator with your friends as it may help someone out.
QUANT TRADING ENGINE [PointAlgo]Quant Trading Engine is a quantitative market-analysis indicator that combines multiple statistical factors to study trend behavior, mean reversion, volatility, execution efficiency, and market stability.
The indicator converts raw price behavior into standardized signals to help evaluate directional bias and risk conditions in a systematic way.
This script focuses on factor alignment and regime awareness, not prediction certainty.
Design Philosophy
Markets move through different regimes such as trending, ranging, volatile expansion, and instability.
This indicator attempts to model these regimes by blending:
Momentum strength
Mean-reversion pressure
Volatility risk
Trend filtering
Execution context (VWAP)
Correlation structure
Each component is normalized and combined into a single Quant Alpha framework.
Factor Construction
1. Momentum Factor
Measures directional strength using percentage price change over a rolling window.
Standardized using mean and standard deviation.
Represents trend continuation pressure.
2. Mean Reversion Factor
Measures deviation from a longer moving average.
Standardized to identify stretched conditions.
Designed to capture counter-trend behavior.
Directional Clamping
Mean-reversion signals are dynamically restricted:
No counter-trend buying during downtrends.
No counter-trend selling during uptrends.
Allows both sides only in neutral regimes.
This prevents conflicting signals in strong trends.
3. Volatility Factor
Uses realized volatility derived from price changes.
Penalizes environments where volatility deviates significantly from its norm.
Acts as a risk adjustment rather than a directional driver.
4. Composite Quant Alpha
The final Quant Alpha is a weighted blend of:
Momentum
Mean reversion (trend-clamped)
Volatility risk
The composite is standardized into a Z-score, allowing consistent interpretation across instruments and timeframes.
Signal Logic
Buy signal occurs when Quant Alpha crosses above zero.
Sell signal occurs when Quant Alpha crosses below zero.
Zero-cross logic is used to represent shifts from negative to positive statistical bias and vice versa.
Signals reflect statistical regime change, not trade instructions.
Volatility Smile Context
Measures price deviation from its statistical distribution.
Identifies skewed conditions where upside or downside volatility becomes dominant.
Highlights extreme deviations that may imply elevated derivative risk.
Exotic Risk Conditions
Detects sudden price expansion combined with volatility spikes.
Highlights environments where execution and risk become unstable.
Visual background cues are used for awareness only.
Execution Context (VWAP)
Measures price distance from VWAP.
Used to assess execution efficiency rather than direction.
Helps identify stretched conditions relative to average traded price.
Correlation Structure
Evaluates short-term return correlations.
Detects when price behavior becomes less predictable.
Flags structural instability rather than trend direction.
Visualization
The indicator plots:
Quant Alpha (scaled) with directional coloring
Volatility smile deviation
Price vs VWAP distance
Correlation structure
Signal markers indicate Quant Alpha zero-cross events and risk conditions.
Dashboard
A compact dashboard summarizes:
Trend filter state
Quant Alpha polarity and value
Individual factor readings
Current action state (Buy / Sell / Wait / Risk)
The dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of internal model conditions.
Usage Notes
Designed for analytical interpretation and research.
Best used alongside price action and risk management tools.
Factor behavior depends on instrument liquidity and volatility.
Not optimized for illiquid or irregular markets.

Buyer-Seller Locomotive IndexBuyer-Seller Locomotive Index (BSLI)
An original indicator that measures buyer and seller pressure, momentum shifts, and structural control in the market.
Overview
The Buyer-Seller Locomotive Index evaluates candle-level positioning relative to an adaptive EMA-based reference price. It calculates bull vs bear strength percentages and Total Power momentum using fast and slow EMAs, providing insight into which side currently dominates market structure. By combining pressure analysis with momentum smoothing, BSLI highlights both the intensity and direction of market control.
Features
Bull/Bear Strength Percentages: Normalized 0–100 values showing current dominance and threshold-based high-strength alerts.
Total Power Momentum: Fast and slow EMA crossover signals with a histogram to visualize expansion or contraction of pressure.
Visual Markers: Optional fight diamonds highlight candles intersecting the reference price, while dynamic labels show the exact strength percentages.
Crossover Signals: Circles mark potential shifts in momentum, helping to identify early transitions in market control.
Customizable Display: Users can toggle labels, markers, and histogram visibility for a clean or detailed chart view.
How to Use
BSLI provides traders with a multi-layered view of market structure:
Observe shifts in buyer vs seller dominance.
Spot early momentum transitions before trends become obvious.
Confirm price structure with Total Power and strength percentages.
Highlight periods of compression, conflict, or indecision for additional context.
This indicator is intended as a supportive analysis tool. Traders should combine it with personal methodology, risk management, and other analysis techniques. It is not a standalone trade signal.
Important Notes
Measures relative pressure, not absolute volume.
Percentages reflect current structure, not predicted price direction.
Signals are contextual; do not rely solely on crossovers for trading decisions.
Uses no lookahead; all calculations are based on completed bars.
Results may vary by asset, timeframe, and market volatility.
Originality
BSLI uniquely combines adaptive pressure extraction, normalized strength percentages, dual-EMA power momentum, conflict detection, and integrated labeling. This multi-component approach provides a clear and actionable view of the evolving balance between buyers and sellers, supporting both short-term and structural analysis.
Momentum Structural AnalysisMomentum Structural Analysis (MSA‑style Oscillator)
This indicator implements a simple, MSA‑style momentum oscillator that measures how far price has moved above or below its own long‑term trend on the active timeframe, expressed in percentage terms. Instead of looking at raw price, it "oscillates" price around a timeframe‑appropriate simple moving average (SMA) and plots the percentage distance from that SMA as an orange line around a zero baseline. Zero means price is exactly at its structural trend; positive values mean price is extended above trend; negative values mean it is trading below trend.
The script automatically selects the SMA length based on the chart timeframe:
On daily charts it uses the configurable Daily SMA Length (default 252 trading days, roughly 1 year).
On weekly charts it uses Weekly SMA Length (default 208 weeks).
On monthly charts it uses Monthly SMA Length (default 120 months).
This approach is inspired by the ideas behind Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA), which studies where a market trades relative to long‑term moving averages and then treats the momentum line (the oscillator) as the primary object of analysis. The goal is to highlight structural overbought/oversold conditions and regime changes that are often clearer on momentum than on the raw price chart.
--------------------------------------------------
What the script computes and how it works
For each bar, the indicator:
Chooses an SMA length based on the current timeframe (daily/weekly/monthly).
Calculates the SMA of the close.
Computes the percentage distance:
\text{Diff %} = \frac{\text{Close} - \text{SMA}}{\text{SMA}} \times 100
Plots this Diff % as an orange line, with a dashed horizontal zero line as the base.
This produces a momentum oscillator that oscillates around zero and reflects the "structural" position of price versus its own long‑term mean.
--------------------------------------------------
How to use it on index charts (e.g., NIFTY50)
On indices like NIFTY50, use the indicator to see how stretched the index is versus its structural trend.
Typical uses:
Identify extremes: a). Historically high positive readings can signal euphoric, late‑stage conditions where risk is elevated. b). Deep negative readings can highlight panic/capitulation zones where downside may be exhausted.
Draw structural levels: a). Mark horizontal bands on the oscillator where past turns have occurred (e.g., +15%, −10%, etc. specific to NIFTY50). b). Watch how price behaves when the oscillator revisits these zones: repeated rejections can validate them as structural bounds; clean breaks can indicate a change of regime.
This is not a buy/sell signal generator by itself; it is a framework to understand where the index sits within its long‑term momentum structure and to support risk‑management decisions.
--------------------------------------------------
How to use it on ratio charts
Apply the same indicator to ratio symbols such as NIFTY50/GOLD, BANKNIFTY/NIFTY50, sector vs index, or any spread you plot as a ratio.
On a ratio chart:
The oscillator now measures relative momentum: how far that ratio is above or below its own long‑term mean.
High positive readings = strong outperformance of the numerator vs the denominator (e.g., equities strongly outperforming gold).
Deep negative readings = strong underperformance (e.g., equities structurally lagging gold).
This is very much in the spirit of MSA’s work on spreads between asset classes: it helps visualize major rotations (equities → gold, financials → commodities, etc.) and whether a relative‑performance trend is stretched, reverting, or breaking into a new phase.
--------------------------------------------------
Using multiple timeframes for better decisions
You can stack information across timeframes to get a more robust view:
Monthly : a). Use monthly charts to see secular/structural phases. b). Long multi‑year stretches above or below zero, and large bases or trendline breaks on the monthly oscillator, can mark major bull or bear cycles and big rotations between asset classes.
Weekly : a). Use weekly charts for the primary trend. b). Weekly structures (multi‑month highs/lows, channels, or trendlines on the oscillator) are useful for medium‑term positioning and for confirming or rejecting signals seen on the monthly view.
Daily : a). Use daily charts mainly for timing entries/exits once the higher‑timeframe direction is clear. b). Short‑term extremes on the daily oscillator that align with the larger weekly/monthly structure can offer better‑timed opportunities, while signals that contradict higher‑timeframe momentum are more likely to be noise.

Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator [BOSWaves]Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator – Adaptive Momentum Geometry with Reduced-Latency Reversion Logic
Overview
The Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator represents a sophisticated extension of the classical Chande Momentum Oscillator, preserving the foundational measurement of net directional pressure while addressing inherent limitations in lag, noise, and signal clarity. The traditional CMO provides reliable snapshots of upward versus downward force but reacts slowly to rapid market accelerations and can obscure meaningful momentum inflections with delayed readings. This iteration integrates a dual-stage reduced-lag filter, optional advanced smoothing, and acceleration-based analytics, producing a real-time, multi-dimensional representation of market momentum.
The design reframes classical momentum using a layered curvature and gradient structure - main, midline, and shadow - to show trajectory, velocity, and intensity in one view. Instead of the usual ±70/30 extremes, it uses ±50 as a statistically grounded threshold where one side of the market begins exerting true dominance. This captures structural imbalance more reliably, exposing exhaustion and actionable inflection without amplifying noise.
This visualization gives traders a continuous, responsive read on market structure, revealing not just direction but rate of change, acceleration alignment, and curvature behavior. The oscillator becomes a momentum map, expressing both probability and intensity behind directional shifts.
Where conventional oscillators mislabel short-lived swings as signals, the Reduced-Lag CMO separates baseline shifts from high-conviction transitions, enabling cleaner, more decisive signal interpretation.
Theoretical Foundation
The classical Chande Momentum Oscillator, created by Tushar Chande, calculates the normalized net difference between consecutive upward and downward price changes over a defined window, generating readings from –100 to +100. While effective for capturing basic directional pressure, the unmodified CMO suffers from signal latency and sensitivity to abrupt market swings, which can obscure actionable inflection points.
The Reduced-Lag CMO augments this foundation with three key mechanisms:
Reduced-Lag Filtering : A dual-EMA structure eliminates inertial lag, aligning the oscillator curve closely with real-time market momentum without producing overshoot artifacts.
Smoothing Architecture : Optional SMA, EMA, or WMA smoothing is applied post-filter, balancing noise reduction with trajectory fidelity. A multi-layer line system (shadow → midline → main) communicates depth, curvature, and gradient dynamics.
Acceleration Integration : First and second derivatives of the smoothed curve quantify velocity and acceleration, allowing the indicator to identify not only momentum flips but the force behind each shift, forming the basis for the strong-signal overlay.
The combination of these mechanisms produces an oscillator that respects the original CMO framework while delivering real-time, context-sensitive intelligence. The ±50 boundaries are selected as the statistically validated pressure zones where directional dominance exceeds neutral oscillation. Crosses and rejections at these boundaries are not arbitrary overbought/oversold events, but measurable imbalances with actionable significance.
How It Works
The Reduced-Lag CMO is constructed through a multi-stage process:
Momentum Estimation Core : Raw CMO values are calculated and then passed through a reduced-lag filter to remove delay, creating a curve that closely tracks instantaneous directional pressure.
Smoothing & Layered Representation : The filtered curve can be smoothed and split into three layers - shadow, midline, and main - giving visual depth, trajectory clarity, and curvature instead of a single-line oscillator.
Gradient-Based Pressure Mapping : Color gradients encode momentum strength and polarity. Green-yellow transitions highlight increasing upward dominance, while red-yellow transitions indicate weakening downward force.
Pressure-Zone Anchoring (±50) : The system defines statistically significant pressure zones at ±50. Moves beyond these levels reflect dominant directional control, and rejections inside the zone signal potential exhaustion.
Signal Generation : Momentum events are evaluated through velocity and acceleration. Standard signals appear as triangle markers indicating validated momentum flips. Strong signals appear as triangles with diamonds when acceleration confirms a high-conviction transition.
A cooldown rule spaces signals apart to reduce clutter and emphasize structurally meaningful events.
Interpretation
The Reduced-Lag CMO reframes momentum as a dynamic equilibrium between directional force and structural pressure:
Positive Momentum Phases : Curves above zero with green-yellow gradients indicate sustained upward pressure. Shallow retracements or midline tests denote controlled pullbacks.
Negative Momentum Phases : Curves below zero with red-yellow gradients show downward dominance. Rejections from –50 highlight potential exhaustion and reversal readiness.
Pressure-Zone Dynamics (±50) : Crosses beyond ±50 confirm dominant directional force. Meanwhile, rejections and rotations inside the zone signal structural fatigue.
Velocity & Acceleration Analysis : Rising momentum with decelerating velocity suggests fading force; acceleration alignment amplifies signal strength and forms the basis of strong signals.
Signal Architecture
The Reduced-Lag CMO produces a single event type with two intensities: a validated momentum inflection.
Standard Signals - Triangles:
Triggered by momentum flips confirmed by velocity.
Represent moderate-intensity directional changes.
Appear at zero-line crosses or ±50 rejections with aligned velocity.
Strong Signals Triangles + Diamonds:
Triggered when acceleration confirms the directional change.
Represent high-intensity, high-conviction shifts.
Rare by design; indicate robust momentum inflections.
Cooldown mechanics prevent repeated signals in short succession, emphasizing structural reliability over noise.
Strategy Integration
Trend Confirmation : Align zero-line flips with higher-timeframe directional bias.
Reversal Detection : Strong signals from ±50 zones highlight potential inflection points.
Volatility Assessment : Gradient transitions reveal strengthening or weakening momentum.
Pullback Timing : Multi-layer curvature identifies controlled retracements vs trend exhaustion.
Confluence Mapping : Pair with structure-based indicators to filter signals in context.

Disclaimer
The Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator is a professional-grade analytical tool. It is not predictive and carries no guaranteed profitability. Effectiveness depends on asset class, volatility regime, parameter selection, and disciplined execution. Any suggested application timeframes or recommended ranges are guidance only - they are not universally optimal and will not deliver consistent accuracy on every asset or market condition. BOSWaves recommends using it in conjunction with structure, liquidity, and momentum context.

The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.

Momentum Variance OscillatorWhat MVO measures:
-PV (Price-Volume) Oscillator – how far price is from a volatility-scaled basis, then weighted by relative volume.
- > 0 = bullish pressure; < 0 = bearish pressure.
-|PV| larger ⇒ stronger momentum.
-Signal line (EMA of PV) – a smoother track of PV; crossings flag momentum shifts.
-Zero line gradient – instantly shows direction (greenish bull / reddish bear) and strength (paler → stronger).
-Extreme bands (±obLevel) – “hot zone” thresholds; being beyond them = exceptional push.
-Variance histogram – MACD-like view (PV minus slower PV-EMA) to see thrust building vs. fading.
-(Optional) Bar coloring & background tint – paints price bars and/or the panel on key events so you can read the regime at a glance.
-Auto-Tune – searches a grid of (obLevel, weakLvl) pairs and (optionally) auto-applies the best, ranked by CAGR vs. drawdown.
Core signals & how to trade them:
1) Define the regime:
-Bullish regime: PV above 0 and/or PV above Signal; zero line is in bull gradient.
-Bearish regime: PV below 0 and/or PV below Signal; zero line is in bear gradient.
-Action: Prefer trades with the regime (avoid fading strong color/strength unless you have a clear reversal setup).
2) Entries:
Momentum entry:
-Long: PV crosses above Signal while PV > 0.
-Short: PV crosses below Signal while PV < 0.
Breakout/acceleration:
-Long add-on: PV crosses above +obLevel (extreme top) and holds.
-Short add-on: PV crosses below −obLevel (extreme bottom) and holds.
-Histogram confirm: Growing bars in your direction = thrust improving; shrinking/flip = thrust stalling.
3) Exits / risk:
-Soft exit / tighten stops: PV loses the extreme and re-enters inside, or histogram fades/turns against you.
-Hard exit / reverse: Opposite PV↔Signal crossover and PV crosses the zero line.
-Weak zone filter: If |PV| < weakLvl, treat signals as lower quality (smaller size or skip).
4) Practical setup - Suggested defaults (good starting point):
-Signal length: 26
-Volume power: 0.50
-obLevel (extreme): 2.00
-weakLvl: 0.75
-Show histogram & dots: On
-Auto-Tune (recommended)
-Turn Auto-Select Best ON. MVO will scan obLevel 1.50→3.00 (step 0.05) and weakLvl 0.50→1.00 (step 0.05), then use the top-ranked pair (CAGR/(1+MDD)).
-If you want to see the top combos, enable the Optimizer Table (Top-3).
5) Visual options
-Bar Colors: Regime+Strength – bars follow the zero-line gradient (great for quick read).
-Extremes – paint only when beyond ±obLevel.
-Cross Signals – paint only on the bar that crosses an extreme.
-Background on breach: A one-bar tint when PV crosses an extreme.
6) Example playbook:
Long setup:
-Zero line shows bull gradient and PV > 0.
-PV crosses above Signal (entry).
-If PV drives above +obLevel, consider add-on; trail under the last minor swing or use ATR.
-Exit/trim on PV crossing below Signal or histogram turning negative; flatten on a drop through 0.
Short setup mirrors the above on the bear side.
7) Tips to avoid common traps:
-Don’t fade strong extremes without clear confirmation (e.g., PV re-entering inside + histogram flip).
-Respect the weak zone: if |PV| < weakLvl, signals are fragile—size down or wait.
-Align with structure: higher-timeframe trend and SR improve expectancy.
-Instrument personality matters: use Auto-Tune or re-calibrate obLevel/weakLvl across assets/timeframes.
8) Alerts you can set:
-Bull Signal X – PV crossed above Signal
-Bear Signal X – PV crossed below Signal
-Bull Baseline X – PV crossed above 0
-Bear Baseline X – PV crossed below 0
Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO) [SharpStrat]Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO)
The Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO) is a custom-built oscillator that combines the best parts of RSI, ROC, and MACD into one clean, powerful indicator. Its goal is to identify when momentum shifts are happening in the market, filtering out noise that a single momentum tool might miss.
Why MSO?
Most traders rely on just one momentum indicator like RSI, MACD, or ROC. Each has strengths, but also weaknesses:
RSI → great for overbought/oversold, but often lags in strong trends.
ROC (Rate of Change) → captures price velocity, but can be too noisy.
MACD Histogram → shows trend strength shifts, but reacts slowly at times.
By blending all three (with adjustable weights), MSO gives a balanced view of momentum. It captures trend strength, velocity, and exhaustion in one oscillator.
How MSO Works
Inputs:
RSI, ROC, and MACD Histogram are calculated with user-defined lengths.
Each is normalized (so they share the same scale of -100 to +100).
You can set weights for RSI, ROC, and MACD to emphasize different components.
The components are blended into a single oscillator value.
Smoothing (SMA, EMA, or WMA) is applied.
MSO plots as a smooth line, color-coded by slope (green rising, red falling).
Overbought and oversold levels are plotted (default: +60 / -60).
A zero line helps identify bullish vs bearish momentum shifts.
How to trade with MSO
Zero line crossovers → crossing above zero suggests bullish momentum; crossing below zero suggests bearish momentum.
Overbought and oversold zones → values above +60 may indicate exhaustion in bullish moves; values below -60 may signal exhaustion in bearish moves.
Slope of the line → a rising line shows strengthening momentum, while a falling line signals fading momentum.
Divergences → if price makes new highs or lows but MSO does not, it can point to a possible reversal.
Why MSO is Unique
Combines trend + momentum + velocity into one view.
Filters noise better than standalone RSI/MACD.
Adapts to both trend-following and mean-reversion styles.
Can be used across any timeframe for confirmation.
Simplified Market ForecastSimplified Market Forecast Indicator
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Simplified Market Forecast" (SMF) indicator is a streamlined technical analysis tool designed for traders to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on a momentum-based oscillator. By analyzing price movements relative to a defined lookback period, SMF generates clear buy and sell signals when the oscillator crosses customizable threshold levels. This indicator is versatile, suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies), and optimized for daily timeframes, though it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing. Its intuitive design and visual cues make it accessible for both novice and experienced traders.
How It Works
The SMF indicator calculates a momentum oscillator based on the price’s position within a specified range over a user-defined lookback period. It then smooths this value to reduce noise and plots the result as a line in a separate lower pane. Buy and sell signals are generated when the smoothed oscillator crosses above a user-defined buy level or below a user-defined sell level, respectively. These signals are visualized as triangles either on the main chart or in the lower pane, with a table displaying the current ticker and oscillator value for quick reference.
Key Components
Momentum Oscillator: The indicator measures the price’s position relative to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period, normalized to a 0–100 scale.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the oscillator crosses above the buy level (default: 15), indicating potential oversold conditions. Sell signals occur when the oscillator crosses below the sell level (default: 85), suggesting potential overbought conditions.
Visual Aids: The indicator includes customizable horizontal lines for buy and sell levels, shaded zones for clarity, and a table showing the ticker and current oscillator value.
Mathematical Concepts
Oscillator Calculation: The indicator uses the following formula to compute the raw oscillator value:
c1I = close - lowest(low, medLen)
c2I = highest(high, medLen) - lowest(low, medLen)
fastK_I = (c1I / c2I) * 100
The result is smoothed using a 5-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) to produce the final oscillator value (inter).
Signal Logic:
A buy signal is triggered when the smoothed oscillator crosses above the buy level (ta.crossover(inter, buyLevel)).
A sell signal is triggered when the smoothed oscillator crosses below the sell level (ta.crossunder(inter, sellLevel)).
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Triangle): Triggered when the oscillator crosses above the buy level (default: 15), indicating a potential oversold condition and a buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue triangle either below the price bar (if plotted on the main chart) or at the bottom of the lower pane.
Sell Signal (White Triangle): Triggered when the oscillator crosses below the sell level (default: 85), indicating a potential overbought condition and a selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white triangle either above the price bar (if plotted on the main chart) or at the top of the lower pane.
Exit Rules: Traders can exit positions when an opposite signal occurs (e.g., exit a buy on a sell signal) or based on additional technical analysis tools (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines). Always apply proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The SMF indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe but can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) with careful testing. It performs best in markets with clear momentum shifts, such as trending or range-bound conditions. Traders should:
Backtest the indicator on their chosen asset and timeframe to validate signal reliability.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, support/resistance) or price action for confirmation.
Adjust the lookback period and buy/sell levels to suit market volatility and trading style.
Customization Options
Intermediate Length: Adjust the lookback period for the oscillator calculation (default: 31 bars).
Buy/Sell Levels: Customize the threshold levels for buy (default: 15) and sell (default: 85) signals.
Colors: Modify the colors of the oscillator line, buy/sell signals, and threshold lines.
Signal Display: Toggle whether signals appear on the main chart or in the lower pane.
Visual Aids: The indicator includes dotted horizontal lines at the buy (green) and sell (red) levels, with shaded zones between 0–buy level (green) and sell level–100 (red) for clarity.
Ticker Table: A table in the top-right corner displays the current ticker and oscillator value (in percentage), with customizable colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Simplified Market Forecast" indicator provides a straightforward, momentum-based approach to identifying potential reversals in overbought or oversold markets. Its clear signals, customizable settings, and visual aids make it easy to integrate into various trading strategies. Whether you’re a swing trader or a day trader, SMF offers a reliable tool to enhance decision-making and improve market timing.
Tips for Users
Test the indicator thoroughly on your chosen asset and timeframe to optimize settings.
Use in conjunction with other technical tools for stronger trade confirmation.
Adjust the buy and sell levels based on market conditions (e.g., lower levels for less volatile markets).
Monitor the ticker table for real-time oscillator values to gauge market momentum.
Happy trading with the Simplified Market Forecast indicator!

FluidFlow OscillatorFluidFlow Oscillator: Study Material for Traders
Overview
The FluidFlow Oscillator is a custom technical indicator designed to measure price momentum and market flow dynamics by simulating fluid motion concepts such as velocity, viscosity, and turbulence. It helps traders identify potential buy and sell signals along with trend strength, momentum direction, and volatility conditions.
This study explains the underlying calculation concepts, signal logic, visual cues, and how to interpret the professional dashboard table that summarizes key indicator readings.
________________________________________
How the FluidFlow Oscillator Works
Core Mechanisms
1. Price Flow Velocity
o Measures the rate of change of price over a specified flow length (default 40 bars).
o Calculated as a percentage change of closing price: roc=close−closelen_flowcloselen_flow×100\text{roc} = \frac{\text{close} - \text{close}_{len\_flow}}{\text{close}_{len\_flow}} \times 100roc=closelen_flowclose−closelen_flow×100
o Smoothed by an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to reduce noise, generating a "flow velocity" value.
2. Viscosity Factor
o Analogous to fluid viscosity, it adjusts the flow velocity based on recent price volatility.
o Volatility is computed as the standard deviation of close prices over the flow length.
o The viscosity acts as a damping factor to slow down the flow velocity in highly volatile conditions.
o This results in a "flow with viscosity" value, that smooths out the velocity considering market turbulence.
3. Turbulence Burst
o Captures sudden changes or bursts in the flow by measuring changes between successive viscosity-adjusted flows.
o The turbulence value is a smoothed absolute change in flow.
o A burst boost factor is added to the oscillator to incorporate this rapid change component, amplifying signals during sudden shifts.
4. Oscillator Calculation
o The raw oscillator value is the sum of flow with viscosity plus burst boost, scaled by 10.
o Clamped between -100 and +100 to limit extremes.
o Finally, smoothed again by EMA for cleaner visualization.
________________________________________
Signal Logic
The oscillator works with complementary components to produce actionable signals:
• Signal Line: An EMA-smoothed version of the oscillator for generating crossover-based signals.
• Momentum: The rate of change of the oscillator itself, smoothed by EMA.
• Trend: Uses fast (21-period EMA) and slow (50-period EMA) moving averages of price to identify market trend direction (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways).
Signal Conditions
• Bullish Signal (Buy): Oscillator crosses above the oversold threshold with positive momentum.
• Bearish Signal (Sell): Oscillator crosses below the overbought threshold with negative momentum.
Statuses
The oscillator provides descriptive market states based on level and momentum:
• Overbought
• Oversold
• Buy Signal
• Sell Signal
• Bullish / Bearish (momentum-driven)
• Neutral (no clear trend)
________________________________________
Color System and Visualization
The oscillator uses a sophisticated HSV color model adapting hues according to:
• Oscillator value magnitude and sign (positive or negative)
• Acceleration of oscillator changes
• Smooth color gradients to facilitate intuitive understanding of trend strength and momentum shifts
Background colors highlight overbought (red tint) and oversold (green tint) zones with transparency.

Relative Strength Range RankRelative Strength Range Rank – Chart Asset vs. Benchmarks
Description:
This indicator calculates and ranks the relative strength position of the current chart’s asset against up to five user-defined comparison symbols. By default, the comparison set is USDT.D, USDC.D and DAI.D.
Calculation method:
The same oscillator calculation is applied identically to the current chart’s asset and all comparison symbols:
For each symbol:
Determine the lowest low over LOWEST bars.
Determine the highest high over HIGHEST bars.
Calculate normalized position within range:
raw_osc = (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low) * 100
Apply a 10-period EMA to smooth raw_osc.
Invert and scale to match assets direction:
raw_osc = 100 - EMA_10(raw_osc)
Apply weighted smoothing:
smoothed = 0.191 * previous_value + 0.809 * current_value
Apply a final 1-period EMA to reduce jitter.
Output is the inverted smoothed oscillator value, representing the relative strength rank.
This function is implemented as calculate_oscillator() and used for all input symbols plus the current chart symbol, ensuring consistency in comparative analysis.
Plotting:
Each comparison symbol oscillator is plotted in the indicator pane.
The current chart oscillator is always plotted in black.
Alert condition:
Boolean chart_osc_above_all is true when the current chart oscillator is strictly greater than all other comparison oscillator values.
The alert chart_osc_crossed_above triggers only on the first bar where chart_osc_above_all changes from false to true.
Smoothing advantage:
The smoothing sequence (EMA → weighted smoothing → EMA) is designed to reduce short-term noise while preserving responsiveness to changes in price position.
The initial EMA(10) filters random fluctuations.
The weighted smoothing step (0.191 * prev + 0.809 * current) reduces overshoot and dampens oscillations without introducing significant lag, unlike longer EMAs.
The final EMA(1) step ensures stability in the plotted oscillator without visible jaggedness.
This combination yields a signal that is both smooth and reactive, making relative strength comparisons more precise.
Inputs:
Sym 1–5: up to five comparison tickers.
Lowest low lookback period ( LOWEST ).
Highest high lookback period ( HIGHEST ).
Color for plotted comparison lines.
Output:
Oscillator values from 0 to 100, where higher values indicate that the asset’s current price is closer to the highest high of the lookback period, and lower values indicate proximity to the lowest low.
Sorted table showing all selected assets ranked by oscillator value.
Optional alert when the current chart asset leads all selected assets in oscillator value.
Short Description:
Computes range-normalized oscillator values for the chart asset and up to 5 symbols, using EMA and weighted smoothing to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness; optional alert when the chart asset exceeds all others.
WaveRider Momentum OscillatorWaveRider Momentum Oscillator
The WaveRider Momentum Oscillator applies principles inspired by fluid dynamics to model price momentum as a flowing system, rather than relying on traditional static calculations. By interpreting market movement through the lens of velocity, viscosity, and turbulence—core concepts in fluid mechanics—this indicator offers a more adaptive and nuanced view of momentum that adjusts dynamically to changing market conditions.
Conceptual Foundation
Velocity: Just as fluid velocity measures the speed of flow at a point, WaveRider calculates momentum velocity by measuring the rate of price change over a specified period, smoothed to reduce noise.
Viscosity: In fluid dynamics, viscosity represents internal friction that resists flow. Here, viscosity is modeled based on volatility, modulating momentum signals to account for the “thickness” or noise level of the market. High volatility increases viscosity’s damping effect, reducing false signals during turbulent price action.
Turbulence: Turbulence characterizes sudden, chaotic changes in fluid flow. WaveRider detects rapid acceleration bursts in momentum analogous to turbulence, highlighting moments when momentum is shifting sharply and potentially signaling strong upcoming price moves.
Technical Features and Interpretation
Adaptive Momentum Calculation: Momentum is scaled by volatility-adjusted viscosity, making the oscillator less prone to whipsaws and more responsive during stable trends.
Turbulence Burst Detection: The oscillator incorporates a turbulence factor, identifying abrupt momentum accelerations that traditional oscillators often miss. This feature provides early warning signals of potential breakout or reversal points.
HSV Gradient Color Mapping: The oscillator visualizes acceleration using a continuous hue gradient—ranging from red (deceleration) through yellow (neutral) to green (acceleration). This continuous color transition provides intuitive, real-time insight into momentum dynamics beyond mere numeric values.
Pivot Point Identification: WaveRider automatically marks momentum pivots, signaling local maxima and minima in momentum flow. These points serve as critical confirmation markers for potential entry and exit decisions.
How to Interpret WaveRider
Colors:
Green hues indicate positive acceleration — momentum is increasing, favoring bullish positions.
Yellow hues represent neutral momentum — the market is consolidating or pausing.
Red hues signal negative acceleration — momentum is weakening, suggesting caution or bearish bias.
Oscillator Direction:
An upward sloping oscillator line reflects strengthening momentum.
A downward slope indicates weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
Pivot Labels:
▲ (Pivot Low): Denotes local momentum troughs; potential points to consider initiating long positions.
▼ (Pivot High): Marks local momentum peaks; useful for identifying possible short entries or profit-taking zones.
Summary
By grounding momentum analysis in fluid dynamics, WaveRider transcends the limitations of traditional oscillators. It accounts for the market’s inherent volatility and captures real-time acceleration changes, enabling traders to detect meaningful momentum shifts with greater accuracy and clarity.
WaveRider is designed for traders seeking a scientifically informed tool that adapts fluidly with market conditions—offering deeper insight into momentum flow and better timing for entries and exits.
Mean Reversion & Momentum Hybrid | D_QUANT 📌 Mean Reversion & Momentum Hybrid | D_QUANT
📖 Description:
This indicator combines mean reversion logic, volatility filtering, and percentile-based momentum to deliver clear, context-aware buy/sell signals designed for trend-following and contrarian setups.
At its core, it merges:
A Bollinger Band % Positioning Model (BB%)
A 75th/25th Percentile Momentum System
A Volatility-Adjusted Trend Filter using RMA + ATR
All tied together with a dynamic gradient-style oscillator that visualizes signal strength and persistence over time — making it easy to track high-conviction setups.
Signals only trigger when all three core components align, filtering out noise and emphasizing high-probability turning points or trend continuations.
⚙️ Methodology Overview:
Bollinger Bands % (BB%):
Price is measured as a percentage between upper and lower Bollinger Bands (based on OHLC4). Entries are only considered when price exceeds custom BB% thresholds — emphasizing market extremes.
Volatility-Based Trend Filter (RMA + ATR):
A smoothed RMA baseline is paired with ATR to define trend bias. This ensures signals only occur when price deviates meaningfully beyond recent volatility.
Percentile Momentum Model (75th/25th Rank):
Price is compared against its rolling 75th and 25th percentile. If price breaks these statistical boundaries (adjusted by ATR), it triggers a directional momentum condition.
Signal Consensus Engine:
All three layers must agree — BB% condition, trend filter, and percentile momentum — before a buy or sell signal is plotted.
Gradient Oscillator Visualization:
Signals appear as a fading oscillator line with a gradient-filled area beneath it. The color intensity represents how “fresh” or “strong” the signal is, fading over time if not reconfirmed, offering both clarity and signal aging at a glance.

Adaptive Squeeze Momentum +Adaptive Squeeze Momentum+ (Auto-Timeframe Version)
Overview
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum+ is an enhanced volatility and momentum indicator designed to identify compression and expansion phases in price action. It is inspired by the classic Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear but introduces automatic parameter adaptation to any timeframe, making it simpler to use across different markets without manual configuration.
Concepts and Methodology
The script combines Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to detect periods when volatility contracts (squeeze) or expands (release).
A squeeze occurs when BB are inside KC, suggesting low volatility and potential breakout scenarios.
A squeeze release is detected when BB expand outside KC.
Momentum is derived using a linear regression applied to the difference between price and a midrange reference level.
Original Improvements
Compared to the original Squeeze Momentum Indicator, this version offers several enhancements:
Automatic Adaptation: BB and KC lengths and multipliers are dynamically adjusted based on the chart’s timeframe (from 1 minute up to 1 month), removing the need for manual tuning.
Simplified Visualization: A clean, minimalist histogram and clear squeeze state cross markers allow for faster interpretation.
Flexible Application: Designed to work consistently on intraday, daily, and higher timeframes across crypto, forex, stocks, and indices.
Features
Dynamic Squeeze Detection:
Gray Cross: Neutral (no squeeze detected)
Blue Cross: Active squeeze
Yellow Cross: Squeeze released
Momentum Histogram:
Positive/negative momentum shown with slope-based coloring.
Timeframe-Aware Parameters:
Automatically sets optimal BB/KC configurations.
Usage
Watch for blue crosses indicating an active squeeze phase that may precede a directional move.
Use the histogram color and slope to gauge momentum strength and direction.
Combine squeeze release signals with momentum confirmation for potential entries or exits.
