TTM Squeeze Histogram

Macro S&D Suite: Part 4 of 4 — TTM Squeeze Histogram Overview

Introduction to TTM Squeeze Histogram
Credit: The TTM Squeeze concept was developed by John Carter, and our Histogram builds directly on his methodology.
The TTM Squeeze Histogram complements the on‑chart Combo by providing a clear, pane‑based heatmap of market momentum. Building on John Carter's squeeze concept, it visualises momentum strength and weakening through four distinct colours, making it easy to spot shifts before price movements confirm them.

How TTM Squeeze Histogram Works
Histogram Metric: Calculates the rate‑of‑change of the Bollinger Band midline, plotting it as a histogram.
Four‑State Colouring:
Green: Strong upward momentum (rising above zero)
Orange: Weakening upward momentum (falling highs above zero)
Red: Strong downward momentum (falling below zero)
Blue: Weakening downward momentum (rising lows below zero)
Squeeze Markers: Black dots indicate squeeze-on, and grey dots indicate squeeze-off, aligning with the histogram for seamless cross-confirmation.
This pane allows you to watch momentum build and fade, confirming or warning against potential breakouts at your support and resistance (S&D) zones.

Applying TTM Squeeze Histogram
Add the Histogram pane to your chart alongside Alpha, Beta, and the Combo overlay.
Align Signals: Look for colour transitions (orange→green or blue→red) coinciding with Beta or Alpha zone touches.
Confirm Timing: Use the histogram to anticipate momentum surges before price breaks key channels.
Entry & Exit Guidance: Enter when the colour flips to a strong state; consider exits or scaling back when it shifts back toward weaker colours.
Multi-Tool Confluence: Utilise the histogram in conjunction with Combo squeeze-off and S&D zone reactions to achieve the highest-probability setups.

Advantages of TTM Squeeze Histogram
Momentum Clarity: Four-state colours make it obvious when momentum is building or losing momentum.
Early Warning: Identify weakening momentum before a price reversal occurs, allowing you to lock in profits or avoid false breakouts.
Pane‑Based Focus: Keeps price chart uncluttered while providing deep momentum insight.
Synergy with Combo: Pairs perfectly with the Combo overlay for cross‑validation of squeeze events.

Bringing It All Together
By using Macro S&D Alpha, Beta, TTM Squeeze Combo, and Histogram together, you gain a full‑spectrum trading framework:
Alpha for big‑picture pivots (daily/4‑h)
Beta for tactical zone precision (30‑m/5‑m)
Combo for on‑chart volatility‑momentum context
Histogram for focused momentum heatmapping
This four‑tool suite provides a high‑probability setup and helps you manage risk with confidence.
