QZMOM & ADX PRO+

6 янв. 2023 г.

The Momentum Squeeze Indicator is a momentum oscillator that indicates how explosively the price will move. Its first known version was called "TTM Squeeze" by John Carter explained in his book "Mastering the Trade" (chapter 11) and popularized in TradingView by a developer named LazyBear.

The black crosses on the center line show that the market has just entered a consolidation. This means low volatility, the market is preparing for an explosive move (up or down). The gray crosses mean the "Squeeze". Carter suggests waiting until the first gray after a black cross and taking a position in the direction of the oscillator. For its part, LazyBear recommends using an additional indicator such as ADX to improve the effectiveness of entry points and position closures.

Oscillator understanding improvements:
During the indicator creation process we were able to better understand the logic of the oscillator and based on that knowledge we implemented improvements.
Oscillator development improvements:

Side panel:
The ADX algorithm was incorporated, which is displayed numerically on the right panel of the indicator, shows the value of ADX and its directionality.
Added an arrow pointer to indicate oscillator directionality.
Two exponential moving averages of 11 and 55 periods have been added to the right panel, this will mark if the trend is bullish or bearish depending on the crossover of the EMAs.
An indicator of the Indicator Squeeze was also included, which marks the periods of price consolidation (OFF) and the periods in which the price should react explosively.
Added a feature that allows automatic color changing of the panels based on the color of the oscillator and the ADX.
o ADX: Dark green (bullish force).
o ADX: Light green (loss of bullish strength).
o ADX: Dark red (bearish force).
o ADX: Light red (loss of bearish strength).
o ADX: Orange (loss of strength, disinterest and low volume).

Signs:
A very famous strategy that we have learned is that of the trading expert Jaime Merino, who by combining the Momentum Squeeze Indicator and a ADX común, logró vincular eficientemente la debilidad del ADX con el inicio de un momentum alcista o bajista. La parametrización de su estrategia se señaló en alertas de compra y venta, que se representan de la siguiente manera:
B (Comprar): se activa cuando un movimiento bajista marcado por el ADX (pendiente negativa) termina y el oscilador toma direccionalidad alcista (impulso alcista).
S (Vender): se activa cuando un movimiento alcista marcado por el ADX (pendiente negativa) termina y el oscilador toma direccionalidad bajista (momentum bajista).

Filter:
To prevent any trader from trading against the trend, a filter was added that limits bearish entry alerts when the trend is up and vice versa, that is, when the EMA 10 is above the EMA 55, it is understood that the trend is up in that time frame, therefore bearish entry alerts will not be triggered. It will be the decision of each trader to activate or deactivate this function.

Alerts:
This is without a doubt the most awaited function for all Latin American traders, (Just kidding), but being aware, I am very proud of the implementation of alerts for each improvement made to this indicator, if you decide to use the Momentum Squeeze Indicator you can automate alerts for the following actions:

Buy and sell alerts.
Alerts to activate the Squeeze to (ON).
Oscillator quadrant change alerts
or bullish momentum.
or bearish momentum.
o Bullish force.
o Bearish force.
Recommendations:
One of the things that became clearer in the development of this indicator is the coloring of the dials, which is why we recommend the use of four colors, one for each oscillator grid.
