Momentum indicator PretiPreti Momentum Indicator
Class : volatility
Trading type : intraday trading
Time frame : 5 min -1 day
Purpose : momentum trading
Level of aggressiveness : standard
“Preti Momentum Indicator” is based on price patterns detection after abnormal price changes. One of the patterns based on abnormal returns is as follows: after an abnormally strong rise / fall in price short-term momentum movement appears.
This indicator, using a specialized statistical technics, identifies moments of abnormal returns and generates trading signals based on momentum effect.
“Preti Momentum Indicator” displays buy / sell signals directly on the chart, which makes it very easy to understand and used even for beginners in trading and technical analysis.
Parameters of the indicator
To configure the indicator, the following parameters are provided:
- Period (default value is 21) - period of indicator. It is used to define normal returns.
- Dev (default value - 1) – Is used to detect abnormal returns. It defines levels of aggressiveness in trading signals. The bigger the value is the more conservative signals are generated
Rules of trading
The rules of trading are extremely easy. The appearance of a “sell” (sell signal) and “buy” (buy signal) on the chart is a signal to open appropriate position.

Better Donchian OscillatorWhat is BDO?
- BDO is the Better Donchian Oscillator. This is a proprietary indicator which I derived from the donchian formula.
BDO usage
1. BDO is mainly used to determine overbought and oversold levels. I think it is more accurate in determing these levels than RSI or MACD.
2. It can also be used to follow major trends with a very high accuracy, although it is lagging. However, its main oscillator in the middle is still a leading indicator.

Uber M-Oscillator (M. Fawzy, 2018) [UTS]General Usage
The M-Oscillator analyses the price change rather than the price level. It draws the difference between prices at two time intervals.
It is a leading indicator of price direction. It can identify when the current trend is no longer maintaining its same level of strength or is losing
momentum. The importance of the momentum is when its value reaches to extreme levels either up or down.
Interpretation
M-Oscillator reading for default period of 14.
M-Oscillator is plotted along the bottom of the price chart; it
fluctuates between positive and negative 14.
Movement above 10 is considered overbought, and movement
below -10 is oversold.
In sharp moves to the upside, the M-Oscillator fluctuates
between 5 and 14, while in down side it fluctuates between -5
and -14.
In an uptrend, the M-Oscillator fluctuates between zero and
14 and vice versa.
The advantage
The momentum line leads the price action (it leads the
advance or decline in prices).
The crossing of the zero line is considered as a trading signal.
The disadvantage
The need for an upper and lower boundary.
If recent price gains are the same as older price gains, the
momentum line will be fl at even though the market is still
going up.
If recent price gains are less than those of before, even if
prices are still rising, the rate of change will have slowed
further, and the momentum line will actually drop.
Using price differences in the erratic movements often caused
by sharp changes in the value.
The "Uber" M-Oscillator
The Uber version of M-Oscillator provides the following improvements:
Period is not fixed to 14 anymore, can be determined freely
Overbought and oversold conditions are automatically adjusted to the chosen period
Ability to draw oscillator crosses on the signal line
For both oscillator and signal line smoothing 16 moving averages are available
Available Moving Averages
16 different moving averages are available for oscillator and signal line:
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average)
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average)
HMA (Hull Moving Average)
JURIK (Jurik Moving Average)
KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average)
Kijun (Kijun-sen / Tenkan-sen of Ichimoku)
LSMA (Least Square Moving Average)
RMA (Running Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
SuperSmoothed (Super Smoothed Moving Average)
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
ZLEMA (Zero Lag Moving Average)
Alerts
Traders can easily use the trend change signals to trigger alerts from:
Cross Up
Cross Down
Those values are > zero if a condition is triggered.
Alert condition example: "Cross Up" - "GreaterThan" - "0"
Trading tactics
Overbought/Oversold:
We define the overbought area as anywhere above the 10
level. The oversold area is below -10. When the M-Oscillator goes
above 10 (overbought) and then re-crosses it to the downside,
a sell signal is triggered. When the M-Oscillator surpasses -10
to the downside and then re-crosses back above this level, a
buy signal is triggered. This tactic is only successful during
sideways markets; during an uptrend, the oscillator will remain
in its overbought territory for long period of times. During a
downtrend, it will remain in oversold for a long time.
Overbought/Oversold rule:
Buy when the M-Oscillator violates the (-10) level to the
downside and crosses back to the upside
Sell when the M-Oscillator crosses above the (+10) level and
crosses back to the downside
Divergence:
Divergence is one of the most striking features of the
M-Oscillator. It is a very important aspect of technical analysis
that enhances trading tactics enormously; it shows hidden
weakness or strength in the market, which is not apparent in
the price action. A positive divergence occurs when the price is
declining and makes a lower low, while M-Oscillator witnesses
a higher low. A negative divergence occurs when the price is
rising and makes a higher High, while the M-Oscillator makes
a lower high, which indicates hidden weakness in the market.
Divergences are very important as they give us early hints of
trend reversal.
Divergence rule:
Buy when the M-Oscillator witnesses a positive divergence
with prices followed by a rise above (-10)
Sell when the M-Oscillator witnesses a negative divergence
with prices followed by a decline below (+10)
Support and Resistance
During an uptrend, the M-Oscillator moves between (0) and
(+10). During a downtrend, most of the time the M-Oscillator
will move between (0) and (-10). Sometimes the (0) level acts
as support (in the case of uptrends) and resistance (during
downtrends). We can buy during an uptrend when the
M-Oscillator reaches its midrange (0) and begins to move to the
upside from there. During downtrends, an upward move to (0)
might be a selling opportunity.
It is also used as exit signal (when the M-Oscillator acts as a
resistance) as well as indication of a re-entry level (when the
M-Oscillator acts as a support)
Exit signal:
When the M-Oscillator crosses above the (-10), giving
a buy signal, but it doesn’t retrace further than the zero
line, the M-Oscillator drops towards the lower boundary.
This is considered as weakness and an exit signal when the
M-Oscillator drops from the zero line toward the (-10). (To avoid
whipsaws, filters can be used.)
Re-entry:
When the M-Oscillator breaks the (+10), giving a sell signal,
but it doesn’t retrace further than the zero line, the M-Oscillator
rebounds toward the upper boundary. This is considered as
strength and a re-entry point when the M-Oscillator rebounds
from zero line to upside. (To avoid whipsaws, filters can be used.)
Using M-Oscillator as a Trend Identifier on LongTerm Scale
During downtrends, the M-Oscillator does not reach
overbought zone. A move toward the overbought area is a sign of
strength when it occurs for the first time in a while. On the other
hand, during uptrend, the M-Oscillator does not reach oversold
areas easily. Going into oversold and staying there after a long
time is a signal that the uptrend is reversing. (As Constance
Brown explained in her book Technical Analysis for the Trading
Professional, chapter 1, “oscillators do not travel between 0 and
100”.)
Crossover on Extreme Levels
Sell signals are triggered when the M-Oscillator crosses
its signal line above (13), which indicates an extreme market
condition, and buy signals are triggered when the M-Oscillator
crosses its signal line below (- 13).

Price Percent OscillatorThe Percentage Price Oscillator(PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. Similar to the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence(MACD), the PPO is comprised of a signal line, a histogram and a centerline. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, centerline crossovers, and divergences. Because these signals are no different than those associated with MACD, this indicator can be read exactly as the MACD is read. The main differences between the PPO and MACD are: 1) PPO readings are not subject to the price level of the security. 2) PPO readings for different securities can be compared, even when there are large differences in the price. MACD readings for different securities cannot be compared when there are large differences in price.
Calculations:
Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO): {(12-day EMA - 26-day EMA)/26-day EMA} x 100
Signal Line: 9-day EMA of PPO
PPO Histogram: PPO - Signal Line
This PPO indicator retains standard PPO settings. Additions to this indicator are: 1) filling the space between the PPO LINE and SIGNAL LINE. Space is green when PPO is above SIGNAL, purple when PPO is below SIGNAL. The color of the space between PPO and SIGNAL is used to define short-term momentum for price(green is positive momentum, pink is negative momentum). 2) filling the space between the PPO LINE and CENTER LINE(0 LEVEL). This space is filled green when the PPO is above the CENTER LINE and pink when the PPO is below the CENTER LINE. Green in this area indicates positive momentum in the intermediate-term while pink indicates negative momentum in the intermediate-term.

High – Low Trend Indicator Signal (Expo)High - Low Trend Indicator Signal - (Expo)
DESCRIPTION
This indicator is derived from my previous one called High – Low Trend Indicator (Expo) , but the difference is that this one generates Long signals and detects market changes. These two indicators are intended to be used in the same chart for better accuracy and validation of signals. The indicator is perfectly used to identify pullbacks in positive trends!
HOW TO USE
When a signal appears, consider enter long, or look for confirmation patterns. Such confirmation could be seen in the High – Low Trend Indicator (Expo) when the red cloud disappears or when the black price line crosses out from the red cloud, or when the black price line crosses up over the blue midline.
So,
1. Use the indicator to identify Long signals.
2. Use the indicator to find Entry points in positive trends.
3. Use the indicator to detect market changes.
4. Combine it with High – Low Trend Indicator (Expo).

The DiamondThe Diamond is a collection of 3 custom oscillators and the RSI. It tries to visualizing how the momentum is increasing and decreasing and gives some buy and sell signals.
Every Line explained:
Orange line: The SMI(Swing Momentum Indicator) it is alternating oscillator between the value -10 and 40 and has its baseline at 10. It showing accumulation and increase of momentum and is used as a trend confirmation
Purple line: The BTD(Buy the Dip) is a modified Version of the SMI. It should be used in Bull or Bearflags to time entries. Also the Horizontal lines can be used as Support or Resistance
Green/Red Band: This one is a custom made stochastic. In its calculation it smoothing Tops/Lows to reduce noise. Also the look is better.
White line: Just a 14-lenght RSI. I use it together with the SMI and BTD to get confirmation
The Indicator is doing best in the crypto market. High market cap Coins/USDT Pairs do better than low market cap and btc pairs. Also it should be only used on timeframes greater than 4h. 6h and daily preferred. On higher time frames you need to adjust the values of the BTD and SMI.
Bearish divergence on both Indicators in a down trending market do give a good short entry.
Bullish divergence on the daily gives good swing entries in a downtrend
Elder's force index impulseForce Index is an oscillator. It combines volume with prices
to discover the force of bulls or bears behind every rally or decline.
It brings together three essential pieces of information the direction of price
change, its extent, and the volume during that change. It provides a practical way of
using volume for making trading decisions.
Force Index can be used in its raw form, but its signals stand out much more
clearly if we smooth it with a moving average. Using a short EMA of Force Index
helps pinpoint entry and exit points. Using a longer EMA helps confirm trends.
Efi long > 0 (bullish trend) and efi short < 0 = buy signal (green bar)
Efi long < 0 (bear trend) and efi short>0 = sell signal (red bar)

Kairi Relative Index Leading IndicatorHere is a leading indicator based on the relatively obscure Kairi Relative Index. The Kairi comes from Japan and is similar to the popular RSI, although it is believed that it predates the RSI significantly.
The Kairi measures the difference between the current price and its SMA as a percentage of the moving average.
We made a few modifications to the Kairi to improve its timing and balance its sensitivity. First, we calculated a 'fast' and 'slow' Kairi Relative Index. To do this, it calculates the difference between the current price and a SMA with a length of 7 periods for the fast Kairi. Then, the difference between the current price and an SMA of length 24 is calculated for the slow Kairi.
The big modification is using a 25 period SMA of slow Kairi Relative Index values as the threshold for buy and sell signals. When the fast Kairi line crosses above the white line(the threshold) it is considered a bullish signal, while a bearish signal comes when it crosses back below the same white line. This solved the issue with the Kairi having slower reaction time than the RSI. As the chart shows, this setup allowed it to catch not only major trends but also predict unexpected price spikes.
Users can adjust all 3 lengths, as well as adjust the option to have the slow Kairi displayed on the chart(shown in second pane).
Adaptive Momentum Oscillator(AMO)Here is a new experimental indicator that we've been developing that is focused on gauging momentum.
The indicator fluctuates above and below zero, but instead of using zero as the threshold for differentiating positive and negative momentum, it uses an 89 period median(plotted as the thick white line).
The momentum over the previous 10 periods is then calculated and then smoothed using a 6 period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This, as well as the choice to use a median as the central divider were done to eliminate the whipsaws that are often generated when making strategies based on pure momentum and crossings above/below 0. The EMA alternates between lime green when it is above the median and pink when it is below. The area between the EMA and median is filled in green when EMA > median and pink when the EMA is less than the median.
Then, a 29 period Simple Moving Average of momentum is calculated. Here, going with a SMA over EMA and a longer window(29) seemed to make sense as it is counteracts the high responsiveness of the EMA. The SMA is green when greater than the median and red when less than the median.
There's two ways to trade using this system. One way would be to go long when the momentum EMA crosses over the white median line and turns lime green, then short when it crosses back under the median line and turns white. Another option is to go long under the same conditions, but short when both the EMA and SMA are above the median and the EMA crosses under the SMA.
Not sure if this exact configuration has already been created by someone, but it'll be interesting to see how it holds up with more backtesting and then running it fully automated.
