Momentum ScoreMomentum is the tendency of assets that have gone up in price to continue going up in price - and for assets that have gone down in price to continue going down in price. The reasons behind it are not well understood by academics, but momentum is a property that exists across geographies and asset classes.
The Momentum Score is a system that scores companies based on their one year total returns, excluding the last month of returns. In other words, a momentum score for today will be based on the total returns of a stock from 12 months ago today to one month ago today.
Our Momentum Score 13612W has the following composition:
MS 13612W = 12 * Roc(1) + 4 * Roc(3) + 2 * Roc(6) + 1 * Roc(12)
with ROC = (p0/pt) - 1, where pt equals price p with a t-month lag

Momentum With Bullish & Bearish LabelMOMENTUM WITH BULLISH AND BEARISH SIGNALS
This is a momentum oscillator that paints red or green depending on whether Momentum is above or below the zero line. It includes a label on the right hand side that will reflect the bullish or bearish direction of the current momentum by changing colors to red or green and text telling you Bullish or Bearish.
***HOW TO USE***
When Momentum is above zero, it is bullish. When Momentum is below zero it is bearish.
A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if momentum is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend.
When momentum is above the zero line(Bullish) but trending downward, a second label will show up in purple to notify you of a change in momentum direction.
When momentum is below the zero line(Bearish) but trending upward, a second label will show up in purple to notify you of a change in momentum direction.
This indicator was built to help you quickly identify the Bullish or Bearish nature of the current Momentum using colors as well as a live color changing label so you can glance at the label and understand it's direction without analyzing the indicator data.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This momentum indicator can be used on all timeframes.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Momentum Oscillator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.

Overview
This indicator combines two powerful concepts: Pivot Trendlines by HoanGhetti and the Squeeze Momentum Oscillator by AlgoAlpha. The goal of this mashup is to provide traders with a tool that identifies key trendline breakouts while simultaneously gauging market momentum through a dynamic gradient overlay. By integrating these two elements, the indicator offers a unique perspective on price action, helping traders spot high-probability breakout opportunities that align with momentum shifts.
How It Works
Pivot Trendlines:
The indicator uses HoanGhetti's Pivot Trendlines to identify pivot highs and lows based on user-defined settings (Pivot Length and Pivot Type).
Trendlines are drawn between these pivots, and breakouts are detected when the price crosses above (bullish) or below (bearish) the trendline.
Breakouts are visually highlighted with gradient boxes and an "AI: BREAK ⚡" label for clarity.
Squeeze Momentum Oscillator:
The Squeeze Momentum Oscillator calculates market momentum using a combination of volatility and price movement.
A dynamic midline (price_mid) is plotted, with its color indicating squeeze conditions (yellow for hypersqueeze, orange for normal squeeze, gray otherwise).
A gradient overlay is added above or below the midline to reflect momentum:
Green gradient for bullish momentum (vf > 0), placed below candles in an uptrend (close > price_mid) or above in a downtrend (close < price_mid).
Red gradient for bearish momentum (vf < 0), placed above candles in an uptrend or below in a downtrend.
The gradient's intensity increases as the price moves further from the midline, visually emphasizing momentum strength.
Breakout Confirmation:
Breakout signals are only generated when the momentum aligns with the breakout direction:
Bullish breakouts require bullish momentum (vf > 0).
Bearish breakouts require bearish momentum (vf < 0).
This alignment ensures that breakouts are more reliable and reduces false signals.
Default Settings
Pivot Length: 20 (determines the lookback period for identifying pivot points)
Pivot Type: Normal (can be set to "Fast" for more frequent pivots)
Repainting: True (trendlines may repaint as new pivots form; can be disabled)
Target Levels: False (optional horizontal levels at pivot points; can be enabled)
Extend: None (trendline extension; options: none, right, left, both)
Trendline Style: Dotted (options: dotted, dashed, solid)
Underlying Momentum Oscillator Length: 10
Swing Momentum Oscillator Length: 20
Squeeze Calculation Period: 14
Squeeze Smoothing Length: 7
Squeeze Detection Length: 14
Hyper Squeeze Detection Length: 5
Usage
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to combine trendline breakouts with momentum analysis:
Trendline Breakouts: Look for gradient boxes and "AI: BREAK ⚡" labels to identify confirmed breakouts. Bullish breakouts are marked with green boxes, and bearish breakouts with red boxes.
Momentum Confirmation: The gradient overlay (green for bullish, red for bearish) helps confirm the strength of the trend. Stronger gradients (less transparent) indicate stronger momentum.
Midline Crosses: Small triangles below (bullish) or above (bearish) candles indicate when the price crosses the dynamic midline, providing additional entry/exit signals.
Why This Combination?
The integration of Pivot Trendlines and Squeeze Momentum Oscillator creates a synergy that enhances trade decision-making:
Pivot Trendlines identify key structural levels in the market, making breakouts significant events.
The Squeeze Momentum Oscillator adds a momentum filter, ensuring that breakouts are supported by underlying market strength.
Together, they provide a more holistic view of price action, filtering out low-probability breakouts and highlighting opportunities where trendline breaks align with strong momentum.
Notes
This indicator does not use request.security() or barmerge.lookahead_on, so there is no risk of lookahead bias.
The script is designed to provide clear visual cues without making unrealistic claims about performance. It is intended as a tool for analysis, not a guaranteed trading system.

How to Use the Indicator
Step-by-Step Trading Process
1. Monitor the Chart
Load your XRP 1D chart with the indicator applied.
Observe the blue vw_mom line and signal markers.
2. Spot a Signal
Primary Signals: Look for red triangles (strong_bear) or green triangles (strong_bull).
Warnings: Note orange crosses (suppression_bear) or yellow crosses (suppression_bull).
3. Confirm the Signal
For Strong Bullish Divergence (Buy):
Green triangle appears.
Price closes above the 5-day SMA (purple line) and a recent swing high.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) exceeds the threshold (yellow line).
For Strong Bearish Divergence (Sell):
Red triangle appears.
Price closes below the 5-day SMA and a recent swing low.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) falls below the threshold (yellow line).
4. Enter the Trade
Long:
Buy at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Below the recent swing low or 2 × ATR(14) below entry.
Short:
Sell/short at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Above the recent swing high or 2 × ATR(14) above entry.
5. Manage the Trade
Take Profit:
Aim for a 2:1 or 3:1 risk-reward ratio (e.g., risk $0.05, target $0.10-$0.15).
Or exit when an opposite suppression signal appears (e.g., orange cross for longs).
Trailing Stop:
Move stop to breakeven after a 1:1 RR move.
Trail using the 5-day SMA or 2 × ATR(14).
Early Exit:
Exit if a suppression signal appears against your position (e.g., suppression_bull while short).
6. Filter Out Noise
Avoid trades if a suppression signal precedes a divergence within 2-3 days.
Optional: Add a 50-day SMA on the price chart:
Longs only if price > 50-SMA.
Shorts only if price < 50-SMA.

Momentum 2.0 [AstrideUnicorn]Momentum 2.0 is a normalized Momentum oscillator with a moving base-level. The oscillator value is normalized by its standard deviation, similar to the z-score technique. Instead of the zero level, the indicator uses the base-level calculated as the inverted long-term average value of the oscillator. Similar to the zero-level crossing signal used for the Momentum oscillator, our oscillator calculates the base level crossing signal.
The moving base-level helps to reduce the number of false signals. In an uptrend the base-level is below zero, in a downtrend it is above it. This allows us to take into account the trend stability effect. In this case, to form a reversal signal, the oscillator must cross a lower value in an uptrend and a higher value in a downtrend.
HOW TO USE
When the oscillator crosses above the base-level, it gives a bullish signal, when below it gives a bearish signal. The signals are displayed as green and red labels, respectively.
The color of the histogram shows the current direction of the price momentum. Green indicates an upward move and red indicates a downward move. The blue line represents the base-level.
SETTINGS
Oscillator Period - determines the period of the Momentum oscillator
Base Level Period - determines the period used for long-term averaging when calculating the base-level and normalizing the oscillator
Momentum of Relative strength to Index Leaf_West styleMomentum of Relative Strength to index as used by Leaf_West. This is to be used with the companion Relative Strength to Index indicator Leaf_West Style. Make sure you use the same index for comparison. If you follow his methods be aware of the different moving averages for the different time periods. From Leaf_West: "on my weekly and monthly R/S charts, I include a 13 EMA of the R/S (brown dash line) and an 8 SMA of the 13 EMA (pink solid line). The indicator on the bottom of the weekly/monthly charts is an 8 period momentum indicator of the R/S line. The red horizontal line is drawn at the zero line.
For daily or 130-minute time periods (or shorter), my R/S charts are slightly different - the moving averages of the R/S line include a 20EMA (brown dash line), a 50 EMA (blue dash line) and an 8 SMA of the20 EMA (pink solid line). The momentum indicator is also slightly different from the weekly/monthly charts – here I use a 12 period calculation (vs 8 SMA period for the weekly/monthly charts)." Leaf's methods do evolve and so watch for any changes to the preferred MAs etc..
Momentum BFThe momentum strategy is simple, if price action is higher than it was for x bars back, and also higher than it was last candle, we have upwards momentum. This momentum will be positive until a candle closes lower than the previous candle and also lower than x bars back - at which point we have downwards momentum.
The concept behind the Momentum Strategy is that when the momentum crosses from negative to positive, we go long and when it crosses from positive to negative we go short. We stay in that position until momentum crosses back the opposite direction.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Go long at the green background on the chart
Go short at the red background on the chart
The yellow lines are where your stop loss should be for longs
The orange lines are where your stop loss should be for shorts
I have included the options in Settings to change the stop loss type between ATR derived and Fixed percentage based. The default stop loss is a fixed 7%.
You can also select if you want only longs, only shorts or both.
The backtest was done with BTCUSD on Coinbase 1D.
Momentum Long StrategyThis is a momentum indicator strategy that plots 2 lines on the momentum indicator and if both cross above zero a long entry is generated and if both cross below zero a long exit is generated. It also has code to check and make sure the condition is still true when launching the official alert, which helps back testing and live results line up, however be sure to enter commission and slippage into the properties to accurately reflect profits. There's also an optional "percent" option and selecting the MOM1 option in the "MOM Choice" field as it uses a slightly different calculation and may provide better results than the standard momentum calculation. The zero line plotted on the indicator so you can clearly see when lines are crossing above or below zero. Also I'd like to thank @felipecms14 for his open source momentum code. I added back testing date ranges to this so you can easily pull up and see back tested results for a certain date range. I also added a buy and sell message field in the properties so you can launch alerts that will work with automated trading services. Simply enter your buy message and sell message into those fields in the properties and then when you create an alert enter {{strategy.order.alert_message}} into the alert body and it will dynamically pull in your buy and sell messages when it fires alerts.

Momentum - Strategy ScriptBased on the bult-in momentum script, I took the liberty of updating it, adding two features.
First, I would like to see the momentum oscillator showing percentage values, rather than absolute values. Visually facilitating analysis in long-term graphs.
Second, just for fun*.
I don't know how to explain the reason exactly, but for the strategy bult-in script, I didnt like the formula of "mom1" calculation.
So I changed it for a formula that made the most sense to me.
In any case, the original script remains in the code, optionally disabling the "percent" option and selecting the MOM1 option in the "MOM Choice" field, for the purpose of study and comparisons.
The script below is opened for study and any suggestions will be welcome.
I hope it can help the community.
It's just the beginning.
Study only purpose.
I tried to follow the code conventions found in the link below.

Momentum 4 Ways Smoothed MTF [Salty]This script improves on the existing Momentum 4 Ways Smoothed indicator by showing the smoothed values for Week (labeled W), Day (labeled D), and Hour (labeled H) along with the detailed values for the currently selected time frame. This allows the user to compare the momentum in the current time with other time frames easily. For example, one can see the detailed momentum lines on the 15 minute time frame while also seeing the smoothed value for the Week, Day, and Hour lines to know when the lower value time frame is in sync with the higher time frames.
Momentum 4 Ways [Salty]This script provides the ability to see 4 momentum values at once and a combined average of all 4 values. The user can see how fast momentum values are affecting the slow momentum values when all values are combined. Also, if the combined average value is greater than zero then momentum is considered bullish. Otherwise, values below zero are considered bearish.
Momentum Oscillator - Column PlotThis script is based on the existing Momentum Indicator which shows whether the underlying percentage change in closing price is positive or negative.
This script however uses columns to plot the change and shows this as green for >0 change, and red for <0.
Momentum Scalping & Swing Signals With AlertsThis Momentum indicator shows a green or red ribbon when smoothed momentum is bullish or bearish. It also includes a long moving average for overall trend confirmation. Wait until the ribbon holds above or below the long moving average and take positions in that direction.
To get an easier to read momentum indicator, I smoothed the momentum out and paired it next to a short term RMA. These two together form the ribbon that will show you early reversals and trend direction. The long moving average is used as an overall trend detector and confirmation for longer term trends.
***HOW TO USE***
Scalping: Enter longs when the ribbon turns green and enter shorts when the ribbon turns red. Exit positions when the ribbon turns the opposite color or crosses the long moving average.
Swing Trading: When the ribbon holds above the long moving average or breaks out and retests it, look for long positions and exit when the ribbon turns red or crosses the long moving average. When the ribbon holds below the long moving average or breaks down and retests it, look for short positions and exit when the ribbon turns green or crosses the long moving average.
***DETAILS***
This indicator gives early reversal signals very well and waiting for the momentum ribbon to cross the long moving average helps to get you into positions when the market is ready to really move while filtering out some of the noise.
The ribbon and background will change to green or red depending on whether it is currently bullish or bearish.
There is also a label that changes colors and tells you if momentum is bullish or bearish and also whether the momentum ribbon is above or below the long moving average.
Green or red circles will appear on the indicator when there is a bullish or bearish cross of the momentum ribbon and the long moving average.
It includes alerts that trigger when momentum is turning bullish/bearish or when the momentum ribbon is crossing the long moving average.
***CUSTOMIZATION***
Each piece of this indicator can be customized to suit your preferences including the momentum source, length, smoothing length, short moving average length and long moving average length. You can also turn off the labels, signals and long moving average. All of these settings can be managed within the indicator settings input tab.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This Momentum Scalping & Swing Signals indicator can be used on all timeframes.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are Trend Friend Scalp & Swing Trade Signals, Volume Spike Scanner, Buy & Sell Pressure Volume Profile, and RSI Scalper in combination with this momentum indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Momentum TrackerTo screen for momentum movers, one can filter for stocks that have made a noticeable move over a set period—this initial move defines the momentum or swing move. From this list of candidates, we can create a watchlist by selecting those showing a momentum pause, such as a pullback or consolidation, which later could set up for a continuation.
This Momentum Tracker Indicator serves as a study tool to visualize when stocks historically met these momentum conditions. It marks on the chart where a stock would have appeared on the screener, allowing us to review past momentum patterns and screener requirements.
Indicator Calculation
Bullish Momentum: Price is above the lowest point within the lookback period by the specified threshold percentage.
Bearish Momentum: Price is below the highest point within the lookback period by the specified threshold percentage.
The tool is customizable in terms of lookback period and percentage threshold to accommodate different trading styles and timeframes, allowing us to set criteria that align with specific hold times and momentum requirements.
Momentum Oscillator, Divergences & Signals [TrendAlpha]The "Momentum, Real Time Divergences & Signals " indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into market momentum, identify potential divergences, and generate buy and sell signals. It offers a comprehensive set of features to assist traders in making informed trading decisions.
The indicator starts by calculating the momentum oscillator based on user-defined parameters.
- Traders can adjust the "Length" parameter to customize the sensitivity of the oscillator. The default value is set to 7, but it can be modified according to individual preferences.
- The "Source" parameter allows traders to select the input source for the oscillator calculation, with the default being the closing price of the asset.
- Traders have the option to display divergence lines by switching on the "Show Lines" parameter. This feature helps identify potential divergences between the oscillator and the price.
The oscillator is calculated using a two-step process. First, a smoothing function is applied to the source data using the "sma" (simple moving average) function. Then, the rate of change is computed over the specified length using the "mom" (momentum) function. Positive oscillator values indicate upward momentum, while negative values indicate downward momentum.
The indicator also generates buy and sell signals by identifying bullish and bearish divergences. A bullish divergence occurs when the oscillator is negative and crosses above zero, while a bearish divergence occurs when the oscillator is positive and crosses below zero. The indicator checks for specific conditions to confirm the divergences, such as comparing the current oscillator value with the previous value and validating the corresponding price action.
When a bullish or bearish divergence is detected, the indicator plots circles to highlight these signals on the chart. A green circle indicates a bullish signal, suggesting a potential buying opportunity, while a red circle indicates a bearish signal, suggesting a potential selling opportunity. In addition to circles, the indicator also displays labels to provide further clarity on the signals. A "Buy" label is shown for bullish signals, and a "Sell" label is shown for bearish signals.
To visually represent the divergences, the indicator plots lines connecting the corresponding points on the oscillator. A green line is drawn for bullish divergences, while a red line is drawn for bearish divergences. Traders can easily observe the divergence patterns and their relationships with the price action, aiding them in making trading decisions.
- The indicator also includes alert conditions for both bullish and bearish divergences. Traders can set up alerts to receive notifications when potential divergences occur, allowing them to take timely action.
Momentum Deviation Bands [Loxx]Momentum Deviation Bands uses a variation of standard deviation. Instead of using price to calculate standard deviation, this uses momentum. This is another type of volatility that will be used in future indicators. This indicator serves more as an educational tool, but can also be used in trading.

Momentum Strategy IdeaThis strategy idea uses two, fast and slow, momentum indicators for trade setups and exits. This is a fast reacting strategy which is very useful in trending instruments on 1D and 4H timeframes. This is the implementation used in QuantCT app.
You can set operation mode to be Long/Short or long-only.
You also can set a fixed stop-loss or ignore it so that the strategy act solely based on entry and exit signals.
Trade Idea
When both momentum indicators are positive, asset is considered rising ( bullish ) and the plotted indicator becomes green.
When both momentum indicators are negative, asset is considered falling ( bearish ) and the plotted indicator becomes red.
Otherwise, asset is considered ranging and the plotted indicator becomes orange.
Entry/Exit rules
Enter LONG if both momentum indicators are greater than zero (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes green).
Enter SHORT if both momentum indicators are lower than zero (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes red).
EXIT market if none of the above (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes orange).
CAUTION
It's just a bare trading idea - a profitable one. However, you can enhance this idea and turn it into a full trading strategy with enhanced risk/money management and optimizing it, and you ABSOLUTELY should do this!
DON'T insist on using Long/Short mode on all instruments! This strategy performs much better in Long-Only mode on many (NOT All) trending instruments (Like BTC , ETH, etc.).

This study presents an advanced algorithmic trading strategy that implements a hybrid approach between momentum-based price dynamics and relative positioning within a volatility-adjusted Keltner Channel framework. The strategy utilizes an innovative "Keltner Stochastic" concept as its primary decision-making factor for market entries and exits, while implementing a dynamic capital allocation model with risk-based stop-loss mechanisms. Empirical testing demonstrates the strategy's potential for generating alpha in various market conditions through the combination of trend-following momentum principles and mean-reversion elements within defined volatility thresholds.
1. Introduction
Financial market trading increasingly relies on the integration of various technical indicators for identifying optimal trading opportunities (Lo et al., 2000). While individual indicators are often compromised by market noise, combinations of complementary approaches have shown superior performance in detecting significant market movements (Murphy, 1999; Kaufman, 2013). This research introduces a novel algorithmic strategy that synthesizes momentum principles with volatility-adjusted envelope analysis through Keltner Channels.
2. Theoretical Foundation
2.1 Momentum Component
The momentum component of the strategy builds upon the seminal work of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), who demonstrated that stocks which performed well (poorly) over a 3 to 12-month period continue to perform well (poorly) over subsequent months. As Moskowitz et al. (2012) further established, this time-series momentum effect persists across various asset classes and time frames. The present strategy implements a short-term momentum lookback period (7 bars) to identify the prevailing price direction, consistent with findings by Chan et al. (2000) that shorter-term momentum signals can be effective in algorithmic trading systems.
2.2 Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels, as formalized by Chester Keltner (1960) and later modified by Linda Bradford Raschke, represent a volatility-based envelope system that plots bands at a specified distance from a central exponential moving average (Keltner, 1960; Raschke & Connors, 1996). Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use standard deviation, Keltner Channels typically employ Average True Range (ATR) to establish the bands' distance from the central line, providing a smoother volatility measure as established by Wilder (1978).
2.3 Stochastic Oscillator Principles
The strategy incorporates a modified stochastic oscillator approach, conceptually similar to Lane's Stochastic (Lane, 1984), but applied to a price's position within Keltner Channels rather than standard price ranges. This creates what we term "Keltner Stochastic," measuring the relative position of price within the volatility-adjusted channel as a percentage value.
3. Strategy Methodology
3.1 Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy employs a contrarian approach within the channel framework:
Long Entry Condition:
Close price > Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic < threshold (oversold within channel)
Short Entry Condition:
Close price < Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic > threshold (overbought within channel)
Exit Conditions:
Exit long positions when KeltnerStochastic > threshold
Exit short positions when KeltnerStochastic < threshold
This methodology aligns with research by Brock et al. (1992) on the effectiveness of trading range breakouts with confirmation filters.
3.2 Risk Management
Stop-loss mechanisms are implemented using fixed price movements (1185 index points), providing definitive risk boundaries per trade. This approach is consistent with findings by Sweeney (1988) that fixed stop-loss systems can enhance risk-adjusted returns when properly calibrated.
3.3 Dynamic Position Sizing
The strategy implements an equity-based position sizing algorithm that increases or decreases contract size based on cumulative performance:
$ContractSize = \min(baseContracts + \lfloor\frac{\max(profitLoss, 0)}{equityStep}\rfloor - \lfloor\frac{|\min(profitLoss, 0)|}{equityStep}\rfloor, maxContracts)$
This adaptive approach follows modern portfolio theory principles (Markowitz, 1952) and Kelly criterion concepts (Kelly, 1956), scaling exposure proportionally to account equity.
4. Empirical Performance Analysis
Using historical data across multiple market regimes, the strategy demonstrates several key performance characteristics:
Enhanced performance during trending markets with moderate volatility
Reduced drawdowns during choppy market conditions through the dual-filter approach
Optimal performance when the threshold parameter is calibrated to market-specific characteristics (Pardo, 2008)
5. Strategy Limitations and Future Research
While effective in many market conditions, this strategy faces challenges during:
Rapid volatility expansion events where stop-loss mechanisms may be inadequate
Prolonged sideways markets with insufficient momentum
Markets with structural changes in volatility profiles
Future research should explore:
Adaptive threshold parameters based on regime detection
Integration with additional confirmatory indicators
Machine learning approaches to optimize parameter selection across different market environments (Cavalcante et al., 2016)
