Accumulation Momentum Indicator
Everyone wants to be in a trend, I think this indicator does a great job at showing that key momentum that traders try and capitalize on everyday. I used a Stochastic Momentum Indicator (SMI) indicator. It's a lot like a slower MACD which allows me to capitalize on changing momentum. My goal was to make an indicator that was able to use a weighted mean of many accumulation/momentum indicators. This would give me a well rounded look to really see what direction the momentum and volume is heading.
I did some research on some of the best Accumulation and Momentum Indicators. I landed on 4.
The Accumulation Distribution line which measures the cumulative flow of money in or out of a security. It helps show how quickly money is going in and out of a commodity. The line moving up quickly indicates fast Accumulation while the A/C line is moving down quickly is shows falling Distribution. This can show the momentum and accumulation of a commodity in short and long term based off of Volume.
The On Balance Volume, OBV is a combination of Price Movement and Volume. If price closes higher then the previous bar volume is added while if the price closes lower volume is subtracted. This gives us an overall tally of whether volume is increasing with price or slowing down the momentum in the direction of the current trend. This gives us the ability to see if volume is supporting the price increasing (beginning/middle of a trend) or price is slowing down even though it is still heading in the direction of the current trend (signaling the end of the current trend).
The Force Index, this indicator measures the overall strength of the price movements. It does this by a calculation of price and volume. The close of the current bar subtracted by the previous multiplied by the volume. The result gives us either strong upward or downward motion. This adds magnitude to the overall movement/momentum of the indicator.
Lastly but most certainly not least is the Momentum indicator, (Price Momentum) a simple indicator that shows you the difference between the current close price and the close price from a specified period ago (Most commonly 14 periods/bars ago). Having this indicator is a must because it shows the speed at which price is accelerating or decelerating.
These 4 indicators together help round out the current volume, price movements, accumulation, and momentum of the current market. Since these indicators all have different scales and calculations I had to Normalize the Values to a 0-100 scale. This gives us 1 line and a much more readable easy to understand indicator. After they were normalized I gave them a weighted average that you can control. So lets say you cared more about the Force Index and the OBV rather then the Momentum and the Accumulation Distribution indicators, you would be able to give them more weight in the overall calculation as well as 0 out those you don't even want involved.
I hope the flexibility and the combination of 4 strong Accumulation Momentum indicators helps you better gauge the direction a commodity might head. The way it's used is when the Accumulation Momentum line is Above 50 buying pressure is stronger then selling pressure. An Accumulation Momentum line Below 50 suggests that distribution is more dominant in the current market. This indicator combines four different methods of analyzing price and volume to give you a single composite momentum score, making it easier to visualize when a commodity is being accumulated or distributed and how quickly this process is happening. It helps you track market sentiment based on both price movement and volume, with a clear, visual representation of buying and selling pressure.
Please let me know what you think and how you think I might be able to improve the script. Enjoy!
