US Market Long Horizon Momentum Summary in one paragraph
US Market Long Horizon Momentum is a trend following strategy for US index ETFs and futures built around a single eighteen month time series momentum measure. It helps you stay long during persistent bull regimes and step aside or flip short when long term momentum turns negative.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap US equity indices, liquid US index ETFs, index futures
• Timeframes. 4h/ Daily charts
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 4h timeframe chart
• Purpose. Provide a minimal long bias index timing model that can reduce deep drawdowns and capture major cycles without parameter mining
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. One unscaled multiple month log return of an external benchmark symbol drives all entries and exits, with optional volatility targeting as a single risk control switch.
• Failure mode addressed. Fully passive buy and hold ignores the sign of long horizon momentum and can sit through multi year drawdowns. This script offers a way to step down risk in prolonged negative momentum without chasing short term noise.
• Testability. All parameters are visible in Inputs and the momentum series is plotted so users can verify every regime change in the Tester and on price history.
• Portable yardstick. The log return over a fixed window is a unit that can be applied to any liquid symbol with daily data.
Method overview in plain language
The method looks at how far the benchmark symbol has moved in log return terms over an eighteen month window in our example. If that long horizon return is positive the strategy allows a long stance on the traded symbol. If it is negative and shorts are enabled the strategy can flip short, otherwise it goes flat. There is an optional realised volatility estimate on the traded symbol that can scale position size toward a target annual volatility, but in the default configuration the model uses unit leverage and only the sign of momentum matters.
Base measures
Return basis. The core yardstick is the natural log of close divided by the close eighteen months ago on the benchmark symbol. Daily log returns of the traded symbol feed the realised volatility estimate when volatility targeting is enabled.
Components
• Component one Momentum eighteen months. Log of benchmark close divided by its close mom_lookback bars ago. Its sign defines the trend regime. No extra smoothing is applied beyond the long window itself.
• Component two Realised volatility optional. Standard deviation of daily log returns on the traded symbol over sixty three days. Annualised by the square root of 252. Used only when volatility targeting is enabled.
• Optional component Volatility targeting. Converts target annual volatility and realised volatility into a leverage factor clipped by a maximum leverage setting.
Fusion rule
The model uses a simple gate. First compute the sign of eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol. Optionally compute leverage from volatility. The sign decides whether the strategy wants to be long, short, or flat. Leverage only rescales position size when enabled and does not change direction.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion. When eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol is greater than zero, the strategy wants to be long.
• Short suggestion. When that log momentum is less than zero and shorts are allowed, the strategy wants to be short. If shorts are disabled it stays flat instead.
• Wait state. When the log momentum is exactly zero or history is not long enough the strategy stays flat.
• In position. In practice the strategy sits IN LONG while the sign stays positive and flips to IN SHORT or flat only when the sign changes.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Momentum Lookback (months). Controls the horizon of the log return on the benchmark symbol. Typical range 6 to 24 months. Raising it makes the model slower and more selective. Lowering it makes it more reactive and sensitive to medium term noise.
• Symbol. External symbol used for the momentum calculation, SPY by default. Changing it lets you time other indices or run signals from a benchmark while trading a correlated instrument.
Logic
• Allow Shorts. When true the strategy will open short positions during negative momentum regimes. When false it will stay flat whenever momentum is negative. Practical setting is tied to whether you use a margin account or an ETF that supports shorting.
Internal risk parameters (not exposed as inputs in this version) are:
• Target Vol (annual). Target annual volatility for volatility targeting, default 0.2.
• Vol Lookback (days). Window for realised volatility, default 63 trading days.
• Max Leverage. Cap on leverage when volatility targeting is enabled, default 2.
Usage recipes
Swing continuation
• Signal timeframe. Use the daily chart.
• Benchmark symbol. Leave at SPY for US equity index exposure.
• Momentum lookback. Eighteen months as a default, with twelve months as an alternative preset for a faster swing bias.
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital. 100000
• Base currency. USD
• Default order size method. 5% of the total capital in this example
• Pyramiding. 0
• Commission. 0.03 percent
• Slippage. 3 ticks
• Process orders on close. On
• Bar magnifier. Off
• Recalculate after order is filled. Off
• Calc on every tick. Off
• All request.security calls use lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off
Realism and responsible publication
The strategy is for education and research only. It does not claim any guaranteed edge or future performance. All results in Strategy Tester are hypothetical and depend on the data vendor, costs, and slippage assumptions. Intrabar motion is not modeled inside daily bars so extreme moves and gaps can lead to fills that differ from live trading. The logic is built for standard candles and should not be used on synthetic chart types for execution decisions.
Performance is sensitive to regime structure in the US equity market, which may change over time. The strategy does not protect against single day crash risk inside bars and does not model gap risk explicitly. Past behavior of SPY and the momentum effect does not guarantee future persistence.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Long sideways regimes with small net change over eighteen months can lead to whipsaw around the zero line.
• Very sharp V shaped reversals after deep declines will often be missed because the model waits for momentum to turn positive again.
• The sample size in a full SPY history is small because regime changes are infrequent, so any test must be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically precise.
• The model is highly dependent on the chosen lookback. Users should test nearby values and validate that behavior is qualitatively stable.

Uptrick: Momentum-Volatility Composite Signal### Title: Uptrick: Momentum-Volatility Composite Signal
### Overview
The "Uptrick: Momentum-Volatility Composite Signal" is an innovative trading tool designed to offer traders a sophisticated synthesis of momentum, volatility, volume flow, and trend detection into a single comprehensive indicator. This tool stands out by providing an integrated view of market dynamics, which is critical for identifying potential trading opportunities with greater precision and confidence. Its unique approach differentiates it from traditional indicators available on the TradingView platform, making it a valuable asset for traders aiming to enhance their market analysis.
### Unique Features
This indicator integrates multiple crucial elements of market behavior:
- Momentum Analysis : Utilizes Rate of Change (ROC) metrics to assess the speed and strength of market movements.
- Volatility Tracking : Incorporates Average True Range (ATR) metrics to measure market volatility, aiding in risk assessment.
- Volume Flow Analysis : Analyzes shifts in volume to detect buying or selling pressure, adding depth to market understanding.
- Trend Detection : Uses the difference between short-term and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to detect market trends, providing insights into potential reversals or confirmations.
Customization and Inputs
The Uptrick indicator offers a variety of user-defined settings tailored to fit different trading styles and strategies, enhancing its adaptability across various market conditions:
Rate of Change Length (rocLength) : This setting defines the period over which momentum is calculated. Shorter periods may be preferred by day traders who need to respond quickly to market changes, while longer periods could be better suited for position traders looking at more extended trends.
ATR Length (atrLength) : Adjusts the timeframe for assessing volatility. A shorter ATR length can help day traders manage the quick shifts in market volatility, whereas longer lengths might be more applicable for swing or position traders who deal with longer-term market movements.
Volume Flow Length (volumeFlowLength): Determines the analysis period for volume flow to identify buying or selling pressure. Day traders might opt for shorter periods to catch rapid volume changes, while longer periods could serve swing traders to understand the accumulation or distribution phases better.
Short EMA Length (shortEmaLength): Specifies the period for the short-term EMA, crucial for trend detection. Shorter lengths can aid day traders in spotting immediate trend shifts, whereas longer lengths might help swing traders in identifying more sustainable trend changes.
Long EMA Length (longEmaLength): Sets the period for the long-term EMA, which is useful for observing longer-term market trends. This setting is particularly valuable for position traders who need to align with the broader market direction.
Composite Signal Moving Average Length (maLength): This parameter sets the smoothing period for the composite signal's moving average, helping to reduce noise in the signal output. A shorter moving average length can be beneficial for day traders reacting to market conditions swiftly, while a longer length might help swing and position traders in smoothing out less significant fluctuations to focus on significant trends.
These customization options ensure that traders can fine-tune the Uptrick indicator to their specific trading needs, whether they are scanning for quick opportunities or analyzing more prolonged market trends.
### Functionality Details
The indicator operates through a sophisticated algorithm that integrates multiple market dimensions:
1. Momentum and Volatility Calculation : Combines ROC and ATR to gauge the market’s momentum and stability.
2. Volume and Trend Analysis : Integrates volume data with EMAs to provide a comprehensive view of current market trends and potential shifts.
3. Signal Composite : Each component is normalized and combined into a composite signal, offering traders a nuanced perspective on when to enter or exit trades.
The indicator performs its calculations as follows:
Momentum and Volatility Calculation:
roc = ta.roc(close, rocLength)
atr = ta.atr(atrLength)
Volume and Trend Analysis:
volumeFlow = ta.cum(volume) - ta.ema(ta.cum(volume), volumeFlowLength)
emaShort = ta.ema(close, shortEmaLength)
emaLong = ta.ema(close, longEmaLength)
emaDifference = emaShort - emaLong
Composite Signal Calculation:
Normalizes each component (ROC, ATR, volume flow, EMA difference) and combines them into a composite signal:
rocNorm = (roc - ta.sma(roc, rocLength)) / ta.stdev(roc, rocLength)
atrNorm = (atr - ta.sma(atr, atrLength)) / ta.stdev(atr, atrLength)
volumeFlowNorm = (volumeFlow - ta.sma(volumeFlow, volumeFlowLength)) / ta.stdev(volumeFlow, volumeFlowLength)
emaDiffNorm = (emaDifference - ta.sma(emaDifference, longEmaLength)) / ta.stdev(emaDifference, longEmaLength)
compositeSignal = (rocNorm + atrNorm + volumeFlowNorm + emaDiffNorm) / 4
### Originality
The originality of the Uptrick indicator lies in its ability to merge diverse market metrics into a unified signal. This multi-faceted approach goes beyond traditional indicators by offering a deeper, more holistic analysis of market conditions, providing traders with insights that are not only based on price movements but also on underlying market dynamics.

Composite Momentum█ Introduction
The Composite Momentum Indicator is a tool we came across that we found to be useful at detecting implied tops and bottoms within quick market cycles. Its approach to analyzing momentum through a combination of moving averages and summation techniques makes it a useful addition to the range of available indicators on TradingView.
█ How It Works
This indicator operates by calculating the difference between two moving averages—one fast and one slow, which can be customized by the user. The difference between these two averages is then expressed as a percentage of the fast moving average, forming the core momentum value which is then smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average is applied. The smoothed momentum is then compared across periods to identify directional changes in direction
Furthermore, the script calculates the absolute differences between consecutive momentum values. These differences are used to determine periods of momentum acceleration or deceleration, aiming to establish potential reversals.
In addition to tracking momentum changes, the indicator sums positive and negative momentum changes separately over a user-defined period. This summation is intended to provide a clearer picture of the prevailing market bias—whether it’s leaning towards strength or weakness.
Finally, the summed-up values are normalized to a percentage scale. This normalization helps in identifying potential tops and bottoms by comparing the relative strength of the momentum within a given cycle.
█ Usage
This indicator is primarily useful for traders who focus on detecting quick cycle tops and bottoms. It provides a view of momentum shifts that can signal these extremes, though it’s important to use it in conjunction with other tools and market analysis techniques. Given its ability to highlight potential reversals, it may be of interest to those who seek to understand short-term market dynamics.
█ Disclaimer
This script was discovered without any information about its author or original intent but was nonetheless ported from its original format that is available publicly. It’s provided here for educational purposes and should not be considered a guaranteed method for market analysis. Users are encouraged to test and understand the indicator thoroughly before applying it in real trading scenarios.
ADW - MomentumADW - Momentum is a trading indicator based on the Relative Momentum Index (RMI) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This indicator plots the RMI along with its EMAs and highlights regions where RMI crosses its slow EMA. Additionally, it provides alerts when the momentum flips bullish or bearish.
Key Features:
The RMI helps to identify momentum in the market.
Three EMAs (Fast, Standard, and Slow) were calculated on the RMI. These can be utilized to analyze the momentum trend over different periods.
Highlighted regions and colour coding to indicate when RMI crosses its Slow EMA, signalling potential momentum shifts.
Customizable parameters: Users can specify the lengths of the RMI and EMAs, boundaries for RMI, and colours for various components of the plot.
Alerts: The script can alert users when the momentum has flipped bullish or bearish.
The script is organized into several sections:
Inputs: The user can customize several parameters including the RMI averaging length, momentum lookback, RMI boundaries, and the EMA lengths. In addition, users can also specify the colours for the RMI line, Slow EMA line, and the fill colour.
RMI Calculation: The script calculates the RMI based on the user-provided length and momentum lookback. This is done by first calculating two EMAs - one for the positive differences between closing prices (emaInc), and one for the negative differences (emaDec). Then, the RMI is computed using these EMAs.
Plotting: The script plots the RMI line, Slow EMA line, and two horizontal lines indicating the RMI boundaries. In addition, it also fills the region between the RMI and Slow EMA lines.
Conditions: The script computes the conditions for bullish and bearish momentum flips. These are defined as when the RMI crosses above or below the Slow EMA respectively.
Alerts: Finally, the script sets up two alert conditions based on the bullish and bearish conditions. These alert the user when the momentum has flipped bullish or bearish, with a message that includes the current RMI value.
Momentum Ratio Oscillator [Loxx]What is Momentum Ratio Oscillator?
The theory behind this indicator involves utilizing a sequence of exponential moving average (EMA) calculations to achieve a smoother value of momentum ratio, which compares the current value to the previous one. Although this results in an outcome similar to that of some pre-existing indicators (such as volume zone or price zone oscillators), the use of EMA for smoothing is what sets it apart. EMA produces a smooth step-like output when values undergo sudden changes, whereas the mathematics used for those other indicators are completely distinct. This is a concept by the beloved Mladen of FX forums.
To utilize this version of the indicator, you have the option of using either levels, middle, or signal crosses for signals. The indicator is range bound from 0 to 1.
What is an EMA?
EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average, which is a type of moving average that is commonly used in technical analysis to smooth out price data and identify trends.
In a simple moving average (SMA), each data point is given equal weight when calculating the average. For example, if you are calculating the 10-day SMA, you would add up the prices for the past 10 days and divide by 10 to get the average. In contrast, in an EMA, more weight is given to recent prices, while older prices are given less weight.
The formula for calculating an EMA involves using a smoothing factor that is multiplied by the difference between the current price and the previous EMA value, and then adding this to the previous EMA value. The smoothing factor is typically calculated based on the length of the EMA being used. For example, a 10-day EMA might use a smoothing factor of 2/(10+1) or 0.1818.
The result of using an EMA is that the line produced is more responsive to recent price changes than a simple moving average. This makes it useful for identifying short-term trends and potential trend reversals. However, it can also be more volatile and prone to whipsaws, so it is often used in combination with other indicators to confirm signals.
Overall, the EMA is a widely used and versatile tool in technical analysis, and its effectiveness depends on the specific context in which it is applied.
What is Momentum?
In technical analysis, momentum refers to the rate of change of an asset's price over a certain period of time. It is often used to identify trends and potential trend reversals in financial markets.
Momentum is calculated by subtracting the closing price of an asset X days ago from its current closing price, where X is the number of days being used for the calculation. The result is the momentum value for that particular day. A positive momentum value suggests that prices are increasing, while a negative value indicates that prices are decreasing.
Traders use momentum in a variety of ways. One common approach is to look for divergences between the momentum indicator and the price of the asset being traded. For example, if an asset's price is trending upwards but its momentum is trending downwards, this could be a sign of a potential trend reversal.
Another popular strategy is to use momentum to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. When an asset's price has been rising rapidly and its momentum is high, it may be considered overbought and due for a correction. Conversely, when an asset's price has been falling rapidly and its momentum is low, it may be considered oversold and due for a bounce back up.
Momentum is also often used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages or Bollinger Bands, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
Overall, momentum is a useful tool for traders and investors to analyze price movements and identify potential trading opportunities. However, like all technical indicators, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and with consideration of the broader market context.

Loxx's Expanded Source Types, see here for details
GKD-C Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum Confirmation is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend (such as "Baseline" shown on the chart above)
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This should agree with the "Baseline"
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This filters/verifies the trend identified by "Baseline" and "Confirmation 1"
5. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
6. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 module (Confirmation 1/2, Numbers 3 and 4 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Leader Exponential Moving Average as shown on chart
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio as shown on chart
Confirmation 1: Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Jurik Turning Point Oscillator
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.
Now that you have a general understanding of the NNFX algorithm and the GKD trading system. Let's go over what's inside the GKD-E Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum itself.
What is Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum?
The Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum demonstrates smoother indicators and therefore gives fewer false signals in comparison with the traditional oscillator.
The indicator is written in accordance with the description given in the book by Joe Dinapoli "Trading With DiNapoli Levels". This oscillator smoothing method leads to a filtering of the most "noise" component of the price movement.
The Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum indicator can be used in the strategies oriented to a standard stochastic. However, the stronger smoothing can lead to the loss of an array of signals. It is recommended to apply any trend indicator for more efficient use of the indicator and its signals filtering.
Signals
A GKD-C Confirmation indicator can be used as either a Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, or Solo Confirmation indicator. See step 3 & 4 of the NNFX algorithm above to understand how this indicator fits into the GKD trading system. The Solo Confirmation setting allows you to test this indicator by itself without an additional GKD-C indicator present in the GKD protocol chain.
On the chart shown above, this indicator is shown as GKD-C Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum and is set to Solo Confirmation. The GKD-B Baseline, GKD-V Volatility Ratio, and this indicator satisfy the first three steps in the GKD trading system chain: GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(solo).
The signals from each of these settings are as follows:
Confirmation 1 Signal
Initial Long (L): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-up over middle-line*
Initial Short (S): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-down under middle-line*
Continuation Long (CL): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is over middle-line, then crosses-up over the signal**
Continuation Short (CS): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is under middle-line, then crosses-down under the signal**
Post Baseline Cross Long (BL): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crossed-up over middle-line but Baseline is still in downtrend, then Baseline turns to uptrend within XX bars***
Post Baseline Cross Short (BS): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crossed-down under middle-line but Baseline is still in uptrend, then Baseline turns to downtrend within XX bars***
BL Recovery Continuation Long (RL): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is above middle-line. Baseline already crossed down into downtrend, then baseline crosses back up to uptrend; then, Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-up over the signal****
BL Recovery Continuation Short (RS): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is below middle-line. Baseline already crossed up into uptrend, then baseline crosses back down to downtrend; then, Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-down under the signal****
*All signals are shown regardless of Baseline and Volatility/Volume qualification
**All signals are shown regardless of Baseline qualification; however, when Baseline filter is active, only true continuations are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then all continuations are shown. True continuations are when the Baseline is active and maintains its uptrend/downtrend after the initial cross-up/cross-down over the middle-line respectively. This means that if the Baseline trend then moves against the Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum then any continuation signals are voided until another initial Long/Short. All continuations are will either show as regular continuations or be converted into recovery continuations
***All signals are shown regardless of Volatility/Volume qualification
****When the Baseline filter is active, some regular continuations are converted to recovery continuations and are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then these signals are not shown.
Confirmation 2 Signal
Initial Long (L): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-up over middle-line*

BK AK-Momentum Pivot Wolf🐺⚔️ BK AK–Momentum Pivot Wolf — The Court of Price. ⚔️🐺
Not prophecy. Procedure. Not prediction. Judgment.
Most indicators sell you a feeling: “it’s going up.”
Pivot Wolf is built to do the opposite: make the market prove it—under rules.
Price lies. Not maliciously—mechanically.
It prints motion whether there’s intent behind it or not. That’s why traders get slaughtered: they treat movement like truth.
Pivot Wolf treats movement like a defendant.
⚖️ The Law of the Tool (What It Refuses to Do)
This script does not exist to “call tops and bottoms.”
It exists to remove the sin that ruins traders:
answering before hearing.
If you trade before testimony, you’re not trading—you’re volunteering.
So Pivot Wolf is designed to withhold permission until three things line up:
Pivots = Boundary Stones
Where price must answer. Where excuses die. Where decisions become visible.
Momentum = Witness
Not what price did—what it carried. Force behind the move, not the costume of the candle.
Acceleration = Confession
The moment intent leaks. The early tell that strength is arriving—or that strength is bleeding out.
You’re not hunting “signals.”
You’re watching a case get built.
🪨 Solomon’s Hidden Layer (Why This Is a Wisdom Tool)
Solomon’s world wasn’t obsessed with forecasting. It was obsessed with right judgment.
He didn’t ask, “What do I want to happen?”
He asked, “What’s true—and what is counterfeit?”
That’s why his writing keeps returning to the same themes:
Weights & measures (standardization over vibes)
Witnesses (confirmation over impulse)
Gates & boundaries (permissioned action over chaos)
Silence (restraint as intelligence)
Pivot Wolf is built in that spirit: it’s a weights-and-witness engine disguised as an indicator.
It’s trying to keep you from trading counterfeit strength at the edge of a boundary.
🐺 How to Use It Like You Actually Respect Capital
1) Campaign Mode (Trend):
Boundaries tell you where business is allowed. Momentum/acceleration tell you whether business is justified. You press when testimony is clean—not when price is exciting.
2) Verdict Mode (Turns):
Reversals aren’t vibes. They’re a collapse of testimony: momentum fails at the boundary, acceleration flips, and the move confesses exhaustion.
3) Stand-Down Mode (The Feature Tourists Hate):
When the script goes quiet, it’s not “missing trades.”
It’s telling you: the court is not in session.
That’s the part that keeps your P&L alive.
🏷️ BK / AK
BK is the mark I’m building.
AK is honor—my mentor’s standard: clarity, patience, no shortcuts.
Above that: gratitude to Gd, the true source of wisdom, restraint, and endurance.
📜 King Solomon Lens
“Solomon didn’t predict. He judged. He built tests that made truth show itself. Pivot Wolf is that: pivots as boundary stones, momentum as witness, acceleration as the confession. No hammer in the Temple — rules are cut before entry. When it’s quiet, it’s saving you. When it speaks, it’s a ruling.”
This is not financial advice. This is structure.
If you wanted a fortune teller, you’ll hate this script.
If you wanted a system that makes the market prove itself before you strike—welcome to the Wolf.
Multi-factor momentum & flow confluence oscillator
MarketExploiter
Momentum–flow confluence oscillator.
Overview
This indicator combines momentum structure, money-flow behavior, trend context, and divergence detection into a single visual tool. It helps highlight when momentum is strengthening, weakening, or beginning to shift direction.
Components
• A smoothed momentum curve that visualizes acceleration and exhaustion.
• Money-flow bias reflecting underlying buying or selling pressure.
• Momentum-shift dots that appear only when several factors align, such as momentum inflection, curve behavior, and supportive flow.
• Bullish and bearish divergence detection between price and the momentum curve.
• A trend panel offering broader directional context.
How to Use
Signals are most effective when they appear in the direction of the trend panel and when money-flow conditions support the move. Divergence signals may highlight early strength or weakness relative to price action. The indicator is intended for context and confirmation rather than standalone entries. Works across all liquid markets and timeframes.
Notes
Non-repainting. Suitable for momentum assessment, trend reading, and identifying potential inflection zones.

Relative Rotation - RRG JdK RS-Ratio & RS-MomentumThis indicator calculates the JdK RS-Ratio and RS-Momentum, which form the basis of Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG). It compares the performance of any asset against a benchmark (default: SPY) to identify the current RRG quadrant: LEADING, WEAKENING, LAGGING, or IMPROVING.
The RS-Ratio (red line) and RS-Momentum (green line) are plotted around a baseline of 100. The background color indicates the current quadrant, and an optional feature allows coloring chart candles based on the RRG phase.
Alerts can be configured to notify when the asset transitions between quadrants, helping traders identify rotational shifts in relative strength.
Momentum/Breakout Strategy A professional-grade trend–momentum hybrid strategy designed for high–timeframe precision and long-term consistency.
It combines exponential moving averages (EMA 20/50) to define directional bias, RSI and MACD to confirm momentum strength, and a manually coded ADX filter to validate market trend quality.
ATR-based stop placement and trailing mechanisms control downside volatility, while an optional daily EMA trend filter aligns trades with higher–timeframe direction for smoother performance.
Multi-Oscillator Adaptive Kernel with MomentumMulti-Oscillator Adaptive Kernel w. Momentum
An adaptation of the indicator by AlphaAlgos : Multi-Oscillator-Adaptive-Kernel (MOAK) with Divergence . Please find the description of the indicator in the above link.
Apart from adding labels to show trend/momentum changes, the following changes have been made to the original script:
1. Sensitivity is used in the computation to scale the fast MOAK signal,
2. Selection between two indicator modes:
Trending - (the original script method) assesses whether smoothed MOAK is above/below 0 - for up/down trends respectively.
Momentum - assesses whether the fast MOAK signal is above/below the smoothed MOAK, and can be used to indicate potential trend reversals as momentum of current trend fades.

Institutional Momentum Scanner [IMS]Institutional Momentum Scanner - Professional Momentum Detection System
Hunt explosive price movements like the professionals. IMS identifies maximum momentum displacement within 10-bar windows, revealing where institutional money commits to directional moves.
KEY FEATURES:
▪ Scans for strongest momentum in rolling 10-bar windows (institutional accumulation period)
▪ Adaptive filtering reduces false signals using efficiency ratio technology
▪ Three clear states: LONG (green), SHORT (red), WAIT (gray)
▪ Dynamic volatility-adjusted thresholds (8% ATR-scaled)
▪ Visual momentum flow with glow effects for signal strength
BASED ON:
- Pocket Pivot concept (O'Neil/Morales) applied to price momentum
- Adaptive Moving Average principles (Kaufman KAMA)
- Market Wizards momentum philosophy
- Institutional order flow patterns (5-day verification window)
HOW IT WORKS:
The scanner finds the maximum price displacement in each 10-bar window - where the market showed its hand. An adaptive filter (5-bar regression) separates real moves from noise. When momentum exceeds the volatility-adjusted threshold, states change.
IDEAL FOR:
- Momentum traders seeking explosive moves
- Swing traders (especially 4H timeframe)
- Position traders wanting institutional footprints
- Anyone tired of false breakout signals
Default parameters (10,5) optimized for 4H charts but adaptable to any timeframe. Remember: The market rewards patience and punishes heroes. Wait for clear signals.
"The market is honest. Are you?"
BTC Momentum Detector 1h# BTC Momentum Detector 1h
This indicator is designed to detect significant momentum movements in Bitcoin price on the 1-hour timeframe. It identifies candles with percentage changes within a specific range, which often precede larger price movements.
## How It Works
The indicator analyzes price movements to detect potential momentum shifts:
- Identifies candles with percentage changes between configurable thresholds (default: 1.7% - 2.8%)
- Requires neutral or inverse movement in the prior candle to avoid false signals
- Optional volume filter ensures signals are confirmed by above-average trading activity
- Tracks price continuation to calculate success rates and average returns
## Key Features
- **Signal Detection**: Green triangles below price bars indicate upward momentum signals; red triangles above price bars indicate downward momentum signals
- **Continuation Tracking**: Dashed horizontal lines show the entry price levels of active signals being tracked
- **Statistics Panel**: Displays real-time metrics including signal counts, success rates, and average returns
- **Current Status**: Shows the current price change percentage and active signals being monitored
## Parameters
- **Minimum Percentage Threshold**: Minimum price change to trigger a signal (default: 1.7%)
- **Maximum Percentage Threshold**: Maximum price change to filter out extreme moves (default: 2.8%)
- **Continuation Periods**: Number of periods to track after signal (default: 2)
- **Require Prior Neutral/Inverse**: Filters signals by requiring neutral or opposite prior movement
- **Neutral Threshold**: Defines what's considered a neutral movement (default: 0.1%)
- **Volume Filter**: Option to require above-average volume for confirmation
- **Volume Multiplier**: Volume must exceed average by this factor (default: 2x)
## Strategy Concept
The underlying strategy is based on the concept that when Bitcoin makes a controlled, significant move (not too small, not too large) after a period of neutral or opposite movement, it often continues in that direction for the next few periods. This pattern reflects the early stages of momentum development in the market.
BTCUSD Momentum After Abnormal DaysThis indicator identifies abnormal days in the Bitcoin market (BTCUSD) based on daily returns exceeding specific thresholds defined by a statistical approach. It is inspired by the findings of Caporale and Plastun (2020), who analyzed the cryptocurrency market's inefficiencies and identified exploitable patterns, particularly around abnormal returns.
Key Concept:
Abnormal Days:
Days where the daily return significantly deviates (positively or negatively) from the historical average.
Positive abnormal days: Returns exceed the mean return plus k times the standard deviation.
Negative abnormal days: Returns fall below the mean return minus k times the standard deviation.
Momentum Effect:
As described in the academic paper, on abnormal days, prices tend to move in the direction of the abnormal return until the end of the trading day, creating momentum effects. This can be leveraged by traders for profit opportunities.
How It Works:
Calculation:
The script calculates the daily return as the percentage difference between the open and close prices. It then derives the mean and standard deviation of returns over a configurable lookback period.
Thresholds:
The script dynamically computes upper and lower thresholds for abnormal days using the mean and standard deviation. Days exceeding these thresholds are flagged as abnormal.
Visualization:
The mean return and thresholds are plotted as dynamic lines.
Abnormal days are visually highlighted with transparent green (positive) or red (negative) backgrounds on the chart.
References:
This indicator is based on the methodology discussed in "Momentum Effects in the Cryptocurrency Market After One-Day Abnormal Returns" by Caporale and Plastun (2020). Their research demonstrates that hourly returns during abnormal days exhibit a strong momentum effect, moving in the same direction as the abnormal return. This behavior contradicts the efficient market hypothesis and suggests profitable trading opportunities.
"Prices tend to move in the direction of abnormal returns till the end of the day, which implies the existence of a momentum effect on that day giving rise to exploitable profit opportunities" (Caporale & Plastun, 2020).
Heartbeat Momentum Strategy BetaHeartbeat Momentum Strategy Beta
Overview
The Heartbeat Momentum Strategy is an innovative approach to market analysis that draws inspiration from the rhythmic patterns of a heartbeat. This strategy aims to identify significant momentum shifts in the market by comparing short-term and long-term moving averages, analogous to detecting irregularities in a heartbeat.
Key Concepts
Market Heartbeat: The difference between short-term and long-term moving averages, representing the market's current 'pulse'.
Heartbeat Volatility: Measured by the standard deviation of the market heartbeat.
Momentum Signals: Generated when the heartbeat deviates significantly from its normal range.
How It Works
Calculates a short-term moving average (default 5 periods) and a long-term moving average (default 20 periods) of the closing price.
Computes the 'heartbeat' by subtracting the long-term MA from the short-term MA.
Measures the volatility of the heartbeat using its standard deviation over the long-term period.
Generates buy signals when the heartbeat exceeds 2 standard deviations above its mean.
Generates sell signals when the heartbeat falls 2 standard deviations below its mean.
Indicator Components
Blue Line: Short-term moving average
Red Line: Long-term moving average
Green Triangles: Buy signals
Red Triangles: Sell signals
Background Color: Light green during buy signals, light red during sell signals
Strategy Parameters
Short MA Window: The period for the short-term moving average (default: 5)
Long MA Window: The period for the long-term moving average (default: 20)
Standard Deviation Threshold: The number of standard deviations to trigger a signal (default: 2.0)
Interpretation
Buy Signal: Indicates a potential strong upward momentum shift. Consider opening long positions or closing short positions.
Sell Signal: Suggests a potential strong downward momentum shift. Consider opening short positions or closing long positions.
No Signal: The market is moving within its normal rhythm. Maintain current positions or look for other entry opportunities.
Customization
Users can adjust the strategy parameters to suit different assets, timeframes, or trading styles:
Decrease the MA windows for more frequent signals (more suitable for shorter timeframes).
Increase the MA windows for fewer, potentially more significant signals (better for longer timeframes).
Adjust the Standard Deviation Threshold to fine-tune sensitivity (lower for more signals, higher for fewer but potentially stronger signals).
Risk Management
While this strategy can provide valuable insights into market momentum, it should not be used in isolation:
Always use stop-loss orders to manage potential losses.
Consider the overall market context and other technical/fundamental factors.
Be aware of potential false signals, especially in ranging or highly volatile markets.
Backtest and forward-test the strategy with different parameters before live trading.
Conclusion
The Heartbeat Momentum Strategy offers a unique perspective on market movements by treating price action like a heartbeat. By identifying significant deviations from the normal market rhythm, it aims to capture strong momentum shifts while filtering out market noise. As with any trading strategy, use it as part of a comprehensive trading plan and always practice sound risk management.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator [Ox_kali]The Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator is a trend analysis tool designed to examine market momentum across various timeframes on a single chart. Utilizing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to assess the market’s strength and direction, this indicator offers a multidimensional perspective on current trends, enriching technical analysis with a deeper understanding of price movements. Other oscillators, such as the MACD and StochRSI, will be integrated in future updates.
Regarding the operation with the RSI: when its value is below 50 for a given period, the trend is considered bearish. Conversely, a value above 50 indicates a bullish trend. The indicator goes beyond the isolated analysis of each period by calculating an average of the displayed trends, based on user preferences. This average, ranging from “Strong Down” to “Strong Up,” reflects the percentage of periods indicating a bullish or bearish trend, thus providing a precise overview of the overall market condition.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Allows RSI analysis across multiple timeframes, offering an overview of market dynamics.
Advanced Customization : Includes options to adjust the RSI period, the RSI trend threshold, and more.
Color and Transparency Options : Offers color styles for bullish and bearish trends, as well as adjustable transparency levels for personalized visualization.
Average Trend Display : Calculates and displays the average trend based on activated timeframes, providing a quick summary of the current market state.
Flexible Table Positioning : Allows users to choose the indicator’s display location on the chart for seamless integration.
List of Parameters:
