Introducing Rocheur’s Percentile Rank Momentum Indicator

The Percentile Rank Momentum indicator is an innovative tool designed to analyze market momentum using a combination of percentile rank and standard deviation. This indicator identifies long and short signals by comparing the price to a dynamically calculated percentile threshold and its deviation, offering traders a powerful method to detect trends and potential reversals.

1. How It Works
   
   
   The indicator uses the percentile rank function to determine the relative position of the current price within a specified range of historical prices.
   
   A standard deviation is then applied to the percentile rank to calculate an upper and lower boundary for signal generation. The key logic is as follows:
   
   Percentile Calculation: The percentile rank of the price is calculated over a user-defined length.
   
   Deviation Threshold: A standard deviation is computed over another customizable period to create dynamic thresholds.
   
   
2. Signal Generation:
   
   Long Signal: Triggered when the price closes above the percentile rank plus a multiple of the deviation.
   
   Short Signal: Triggered when the price closes below the percentile rank minus a multiple of the deviation.
   
   
3. Visual Representation
   
   The Percentile Rank Momentum indicator features a clean and intuitive visual interface with customizable color modes:
   
   Green Bars: Represent bullish conditions, indicating a potential long signal.
   
   Red Bars: Represent bearish conditions, suggesting a potential short signal.
   
   
4. Customization & Parameters
   
   To suit various trading styles and market conditions, the Percentile Rank Momentum indicator offers the following adjustable parameters:
   
   Source: Defines the input price (e.g., close, hl2).
   
   Percentile Length: Default set to 25, this determines the lookback period for the
   percentile rank calculation.
   
   Deviation Length: Default set to 38, controls the sensitivity of the standard deviation used in thresholds.
   
   Multiplier: Default set to 1.3, adjusts the weight of the deviation for long/short signal thresholds.
   
   Percentile Percentage: Default set to 75, specifies the percentile level for ranking the price within the defined period.
   
   Color Modes: Choose from eight unique color themes to personalize the visual appearance of the indicator.
   
   
5. Trading Applications
   
   This versatile indicator can be applied in various trading scenarios, including:
   
   Momentum Analysis: By identifying when prices move significantly beyond historical percentiles, the indicator highlights strong momentum conditions.
   
   Risk Management: Clearly defined long and short signals help traders manage positions more effectively.
   
   
6. Final Note
