Relative Strength MomentumThe RSI is a traders friend - it can provide insight that other indicators simply cannot. The RSI achilles heel is that it can often fail to highlight divergence. Constance Brown attempted to resolve this problem with the 'Composite index' - a powerful tool. However.. for me, looking at two indicators can get a bit much - especially if viewing multiple time-frames. I want one tool which provides the RSI, it's ranging/reversal behaviour (as documented by Andrew Cardwell) and a better grasp of momentum swings (via divergence and reversal signals). So this is my best effort, and I hope it can prove useful to some of you. At first the differences may be hard to spot - but they are there!
My default settings are optimised - as with the 'normal' RSI you can expect a bullish trend to result in few (if any) moves below 30. In a bearish trend, you can expect few (if any) incursions above 70. Cardwell's observations apply. I recommend using this with a 50 period EMA to provide some additional context.

OBV with Volume/Momentum DivergenceCredits go to vyperphi696 and LazyBear for the original OBV with Divergence script.
This indicator has the new option to check for momentum divergence, which I have done by adding RSI and MACD data.
Hence the indicator allows combined testing of volume and momentum divergence. This feature aims to improve trend reversal detection by reducing false positives.
In summary, 3 divergence categories are shown by default as lines:
Volume + RSI + MACD (dark green/red)
Volume + RSI / Volume + MACD (light green/red)
Volume (gray)
Line colors can be adjusted via plot settings. Therefore it is also possible to distinguish Volume + RSI and Volume + MACD divergence if necessary.
Lastly, I edited the indicator scaling mechanism when changing from one timeframe to another; the transitions are smoother now. This only applies when auto-scaling is off.
DecisionPoint Price Momentum Oscillator [LazyBear]The DecisionPoint Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) is an oscillator based on a Rate of Change calculation that is smoothed twice with custom exponential moving averages. Because the PMO is normalized, it can also be used as a relative strength tool.
PMO can be used in many ways:
- PMO can be used to determine the OB/OS state. While the +2.5 to -2.5 is the usual range for broad stock market indexes, each price index will have its own “signature” range. You may have to tune this for your instrument.
- PMO triggers buy/sell on signal crossovers and ZERO crossovers.
- Common patterns like BullKiss, BearKiss are useful to track. See the link below for more info.
- Divergences.
- Histo-only mode that can be used similar to MACD-Histo.
I have exposed all params as configurable. Have fun tuning :) Don't forget to share what you found for your instrument.

Renko - RSI MomentumIn essence this Renko trading system is the following:
1. Momentum based entries
2. Trend trading system (small losses, big wins)
3. As well as a trend continuation system
------------------------------
!IMPORTANT!
------------------------------
- You MUST have a Pro+ account. Why? Cause Renko NEEDS to run on 1min or 5min chart, nothing larger.
If you don't, the chart will repaint .
------------------------------
CHART SETUP
------------------------------
1. Set chart to Renko
2. Set period of chart to 1 min (or 5 min)
3. Set Renko box size method to "Traditional"
4. Set Renko box size to:
- JPY Pairs: 0.2 to 0.4
- Other Major/Minors: 0.002 - 0.004
- Exotic pairs: NO IDEA... (I haven't tested them yet)
5. Load the indicator
------------------------------
RULES
------------------------------
Trend Entry
An arrow will appear the following conditions are met:
LONG: RSI(7) goes above 55 AND price is above the 50 SMA
SHORT: RSI(7) goes below 45 AND price is below the 50 SMA
Enter immediately after the bar is printed.
Counter Trend Entry
An orange dot appears when the following conditions are met:
LONG: RSI(7) goes above 55 AND price is below the 50 SMA and above the 10 EMA
SHORT: RSI(7) goes below 45 AND price is above the 50 SMA and below the 10 EMA
I would not suggest entering immediately but rather finding a trendline or support/resistance that is being broken.
Exit
- Exit when a white bar is printed
- OR use your own discretion. Like 2 bars in opposite direction or on EMA cross or hit of support/resistance.
------------------------------
CHART
------------------------------
- Green bars are when the RSI(7) is above 55.
- Red bars are when the RSI(7) is below 45.
- White bars are when the RSI(7) is between 45and 55.
------------------------------
Edge of MomentumThe script was designed for the purpose of catching the rocket portion of a move (the edge of momentum).
Long
--When RSI closes over 60, take long order 1 tick above that bar. The closed bar above RSI 60 will be colored "green" or whatever color the user chooses. (RSI > 60)
--On a long position, exit will be a closed bar below the ema (low, 10) . The closed bar below the ema will be colored "yellow." (Price < ema)
--Note: On a long position there is no need to exit when a closed bar is colored "purple." RSI is just below 60 but above 40. Pullback or chop
Short
--When RSI closes below 40, take a short order 1 tick below that bar. The closed bar below RSI 40 will be colored "red." RSI<40)
--On a short position, exit will be a closed bar above the ema (low, 10). The closed bar above the ema will be colored "purple." (Price > ema)
--Note: On a short position there is no need to exit when a closed bar is colored "yellow."
Note: You may see a series of purple and yellow bars, that is simply chop. I define chop as RSI moving between 60 and 40.
Trade should only be taken above green colored candle(long) and below red colored candle (short). No position should be taken off yellow or purple candle (chop)
Again this is designed to catch the momentum part of a move, and to help reduce some entries during chop. It is a simple systems that beginning traders can use and profit from.
Note: I don't no shit about coding scripts I just learn from reading others.
Enjoy. If you decide to use please drop me a line...suggestions/comments, etc.
Best of luck in all you do.
EdgeAnalysisGroup: Momentum Clouds Set-UpWhat do you need turned off and on in the settings to have this exact setup?
Bar colours transparency = 100%
Lagging Span off
Baseline off
Conversion line off
What is it?
This trading strategy is an all in one. This means any additional parameters could make the set-up very noisy. I spent hours developing and back-testing the core of the whole method- volume clouds. The volume cloud is the wavey/much more fluid centralised cloud. These have in essence been left the same with new additions crafted around the volume clouds, the ichi and the momentum indicator. It Uses-
Volume
MA's
Ichimoku Clouds
Displacement
RSI
MACD
Even though your fundamental price action will come into play when using this indicator- it does abstract resistance/support zones and trade zones very nicely to make the overall difficulty of the indicator and trading experience much lesser.
How to trade on it?
Trade edge to edge on the clouds.
Mid-section is safe trade area on volume cloud.
Trade re-tests / rejections. Watching for 3rd retest + for break back into cloud.
Bullish mom + break above vol cloud = Bullish trend.
Bearish mom + break below vol cloud = Bearish trend.
Stoploss is situational.
Example board:
BTC/USD 1 Day.
ETH/BTC 1 Day.
NEO/BTC 4 Hour.
Hopefully from these examples, when observing them you are understanding how the clouds work, and how the momentum ties into the whole model, any questions don't hesistant to comment- and feel free to drop me a follow for my hard work too.
Thank you for reading, I hope this indicator can aid you, as it is doing with a few of my friends and myself.

Momentum Matrix SignalMomentum Matrix Signals is a real-time indicator that finds BUY/SELL signals using a VWMA trend, closing momentum, and a strength score. It allows for re-entries & exits. ⚠️ WARNING: This version repaints; signals can disappear before a bar closes.
Signal Scoring
A signal is only considered if it first meets two mandatory conditions: a momentum trend and VWMA trend alignment.
If these are met, the signal is then scored from 0 to 5 based on a checklist of five factors:
2-Bar Trend: Confirms initial momentum.
3-Bar Trend: Confirms sustained momentum.
VWMA Trend: Confirms main trend alignment.
Volume Pressure (OBV): Confirms money flow.
Volume Spike (RVOL): Confirms market interest.
A higher score indicates a stronger, higher-conviction signal.
Dynamic Momentum Oscillator with Adaptive ThresholdsDynamic Momentum Oscillator with Adaptive Thresholds (DMO-AT)
This advanced indicator is designed to provide traders with a robust tool for identifying momentum shifts, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversals in any market. Unlike traditional oscillators with fixed thresholds, DMO-AT uses adaptive levels that adjust based on current volatility (via ATR) and incorporates volume weighting for more accurate signals in high-volume environments.
#### Key Features:
- **Momentum Calculation**: A normalized momentum value derived from price changes, optionally weighted by volume for enhanced sensitivity.
- **Adaptive Thresholds**: Overbought and oversold levels dynamically adjust using ATR, making the indicator adaptable to volatile or ranging markets.
- **Signal Line**: An EMA of the momentum for crossover signals, helping confirm trend directions.
- **Divergence Detection**: Built-in alerts for bullish and bearish divergences between price and momentum.
- **Visual Enhancements**: Background coloring for quick zone identification, dashed static lines for reference, and a customizable stats table displaying real-time values.
- **Alerts**: Multiple alert conditions for crossovers, zone entries, and divergences to keep you notified without constant chart watching.
#### How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's indicator search.
2. Customize inputs: Adjust the momentum length, source, ATR length, and threshold multiplier to fit your trading style (e.g., shorter lengths for scalping, longer for swing trading).
3. Interpret Signals:
- **Crossover**: Momentum crossing above the signal line suggests bullish momentum; below indicates bearish.
- **Zones**: Entering the overbought (red) zone may signal a potential sell; oversold (green) for buys.
- **Divergences**: Use alerts to spot hidden opportunities where price and momentum disagree.
4. Combine with other tools like moving averages or support/resistance for confluence.
5. Enable the stats table for at-a-glance insights on the chart.
This indicator is versatile across timeframes and assets, from stocks to crypto. It's optimized for clarity and performance, with no repainting.
Stochastic Momentum Triangles[TheJackrabbit]This code is invite-only and in the experimental phase. Please contact the author if you are interested in testing.
**Stochastic Momentum Triangles ** is a custom indicator designed to integrate multiple dimensions of market momentum into a single, visual framework. Rather than relying on generic oscillators, this tool brings together stochastic calculations, price mapping, velocity measurement, and dynamic visual feedback to offer a layered view of market conditions.
#### Key Features and Components
- **Stochastic Calculations Mapped to Price Levels**
The indicator starts by computing the traditional stochastic oscillator values—%K, %D, and %J—over a user-defined period. These values are then mapped to the current price range. This mapping is achieved via a dedicated function that uses an exponential moving average and a rounding option, thereby linking momentum metrics directly with price dynamics.
- **Momentum Velocity and Its RSI**
To quantify the rate of change, the script calculates a “velocity” by measuring the difference in the price-mapped stochastic values over a specified lookback period. The resulting velocity values are then processed through a Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculation. This additional layer helps to provide a clearer picture of how rapidly market momentum is changing.
- **Triangle Area Measurement as a Volatility Proxy**
For each of the K, D, and J series, the indicator identifies the highest and lowest values within a user-specified lookback window and constructs triangles by connecting these extremes with the current value. The area of these triangles is computed, serving as an abstract measure of volatility and the range of price momentum. These areas are displayed alongside the velocity readings in an on-chart table for easy reference.
- **Dynamic Interpretation Label**
The tool also generates a concise reading in English that summarizes the relationships among the areas and velocity values. For example, it notes when one series, such as J, exhibits both the largest triangle area and the highest velocity. In such cases—suggesting an extended move or potential overextension—the label’s text color changes (to red) to visually alert the trader to an increased likelihood of a reversal. This approach allows traders to quickly assimilate the indicator’s data without overwhelming them with subjective language.
- **Additional Visual Elements**
Beyond the core calculations, the indicator includes a “momentum box” that captures the range of the stochastic-derived values over recent bars, as well as radial lines that provide a visual connection from the box’s reference point to current values. These elements together offer a structured, multi-faceted view of market dynamics.
#### Significance and Effects
This indicator takes a measured approach to integrating multiple aspects of market analysis. By combining price-based mapping with traditional stochastic and momentum measurements, it provides traders with:
- **A structured framework** to assess market range and momentum changes.
- **Visual cues** (such as the dynamic label and color changes) that highlight conditions warranting closer attention.
- **Tangible, calculated metrics**—triangle areas and velocity RSIs—that may assist in identifying potential reversal points.
Stochastic Momentum Triangles is intended to serve as a supplementary tool for traders who appreciate a quantitative perspective on market behavior. Its design focuses on clear, measurable outputs rather than relying on broad claims, allowing for a calm and thoughtful evaluation of market conditions.
DepthHouse - Peak Momentum OscillatorDepthHouse Peak Momentum Oscillator uses advance calculations of linear regression to help determine price momentum and momentum peaks.
How to read it:
The least opaque columns represent general momentum direction.
When these columns are above the zero line, generally there is more bullish momentum in the market.
When they are below the zero line, generally there is more bearish momentum in the market.
When these columns turn white, it means the price could be losing its bullish or bearish momentum.
The more transparent columns in the background represent the lead band, which reacts faster than the general momentum columns.
This could be used to as a leading indication of where the market could be heading.
Swap Momentum Bands option:
This option removes the white columns from the general momentum histogram and in turn only gives signals when strong momentum is present.

PRO MomentumINVITE ONLY SCRIPT:
FEATURES:
As its name suggests, PRO Momentum provides non-subjective momentum analysis to traders through automatic pattern detections, covering a wide range of statistically relevant structures in both ranging and trending contexts. Our goal was to provide a professional grade risk management tool capable of providing various signals, which guide the trader in its decision to engage or not in a certain price area filtered by Framework. Nevertheless, both indicators are complex tools requiring extensive learning. To support students in their journey, there is a wide open online community of users in our Discord channel, providing peer-to-peer assistance to progress with the strategy as well as tutored courses.
OUTPUTS:
To share a brief description of the PRO Momentum functioning, we will scroll through the major set of outputs that are presented to the user. Please note that the indicator is meant to assist from Junior to Senior expertise, to achieve this we have set different base templates right into the indicators. To keep this description simple, we will present the outputs you’ll see with the beginner setup:
Momentum Signals: As shown on the chart, there are multiple types of output signals, each corresponding to different momentum patterns. Detailed documentation is available on our website for those seeking in-depth information. Here's a high-level overview: The patterns are divided into three categories, each represented by different colors. Blue and Red signals are used in trending contexts, Gray signals are for ranging contexts, and dark-colored signals are exclusive to reversal contexts, suitable for more experienced traders. Momentum signals are binary outputs, making it easy for users to set alerts. The indicator includes built-in alerts for these groups to streamline the process. However, it’s crucial to remember that momentum signals are not standalone trading signals. The Framework indicator must first filter interesting prices and identify the context. Only then should traders use momentum signals to adjust risk.
Sinewave Oscillators: Cyclical analysis is a critical aspect of professional risk management. Markets naturally oscillate, and significant statistical probabilities can be derived from cycle studies. We use a custom-modified version of Ehlers’ sinewave methodology. Cyclical analysis, while somewhat predictive, scans past prices to predict probable future states. Since markets are inherently unpredictable, cycle analysis is used as a confirmation signal in our strategy. Essentially, we filter out all momentum signals that occur outside favorable cyclical conditions. Bearish signals are only exploited if the sinewave is in the top area of the oscillator, and vice-versa for bullish signals.
GENERAL STRATEGY:
Overall, the PRO Strategy combines two “core” indicators, Framework and Momentum. Framework is plotted on the main chart section as an overlay, it is definitely the most important as it guides the user through the hard process of filtering prices and timeframes that are suitable for technical analysis. On the other hand, PRO Momentum is on a separate oscillator tab under the chart section, it will study the momentum and cyclical structure, also offering automated pattern detection. Ultimately, our strategy is based on collecting and processing non-subjective rules, emanating from the indicators outputs. Essentially, this means that the indicator actually takes care of producing all the necessary binary outputs, leaving you with the remaining task of combining them correctly following the strategy’s patterns.
RISK LIMITATION:
Even if we provide automated momentum signal detection, there is no “one-click” or "easy-win” solution, the user still needs to carefully review the elements. When applicable pattern rules are confirmed, the user will gather risk-limitation information from both indicators (breakout targets, price confirmations, momentum and cyclical coordination) and decide whether or not to trade according to its own risk profile. If so, the position sizing, stop-loss positioning, risk management and profit targets will all be defined according to the same indicator’s outputs. This effectively suppresses most behavioral and personal biases the trader could introduce, creating a stable and statistical risk management structure aiming for a durable profitability.
Momentum Timer Pro 2Momentum Timer Pro 2 calculates the momentum of the gradient of two exponential moving averages (one faster and one slower) and puts them through a relative strength index to signal momentum.
You may notice a rhythm to this indicator. Because relative strength indexes naturally drag the output signal toward middle of the range and the input of this indicator is the momentum of a gradient (a momentum indicator within a momentum indicator), the signal may imply an overbought or oversold countertrend condition despite an impulsive trend remaining intact.
This is a lagging indicator and I suggest you use it similarly to a regular RSI.
Enjoy!
Whale Momentum Wave Oscillator//Credits: @Noldo - Whale Trading System @rumpypumpydumpy - ALMA Ribbons @QuantNomad - Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average
Composite Indicator, created by taking QuantNomad's EVWMA and using that as input for a variation of rumpypumpydumpy's ALMA Ribbons. Each Ribbon had its sub ribbons summed up and then averaged. The averages were then fed through the ta.rsi and the ta.mom functions giving us our momentum waves. Signal line created from the close value being fed through the ta. ema into the ta.rsi then ta.wma then ta.mom function. Why those in that order? No reason in particular just what I stumbled upon after many variations. I then overlayed Noldo's Whale Trading System to view what "whales" were doing, giving us a good view of when capital is flowing into and out the asset which often contradicts the momentum waves prior to trend changes. Provides a nice visual for how capital is moving along with momentum. Can see when smart money is buying up a big dip or of they seem to still be waiting on the sidelines.
Ehlers Smoothed Adaptive Momentum [CC]The Smoothed Adaptive Momentum indicator was created by John Ehlers and this indicator gives a lot of useful information. When the indicator is above 0 then there is very strong upward momentum and when the indicator falls below 0 then there is very strong downward momentum. A very profitable way to use this particular indicator is buy long when the indicator is below 0 and it crosses over it's signal line and then sell of course when you get the first sell signal. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors are normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if you have any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Stochastic MomentumThis RSI indicator uses the difference between the K and D values in the Stochastic RSI indicator. Using the same layered lengths of 12, 24, 48 and 96 intervals that the Avg Stoch RSI indicator, this offers a rate of change momentum measurement. Crossovers are at zero, this indicator gives a clearer indicator of market momentum.
[RS][JR]RSI Momentum V1RSI Momentum
By Ricardo Santos and JR
This system is a clash of two indicators, Momentum and RSI. Strength of signals are viewed by both height and color. Dark Green or Light Red bars signal strong momentum. Light Red bar signals and Green bar signals reach an apex at the top of the indicator pane.
Momentum 8% 4% 9MMomentum 8% 4% 9M is a simple yet effective visual indicator designed to highlight significant daily price moves and high volume activity on your stock charts.
Features:
Daily Price Move Highlights:
Background turns green when the daily price gain is equal to or greater than 8%, signaling strong bullish momentum.
Background turns red when the daily price drop is equal to or less than -4%, indicating notable bearish moves.
High Volume Marker:
Displays a small yellow upward triangle below the bar on days when the trading volume exceeds 9 million, helping you easily spot volume spikes.
This indicator provides clear visual cues directly on your price chart, making it easier to spot days of unusual market activity without cluttering your chart with excessive labels. It is ideal for traders looking to quickly identify big moves and volume surges for further analysis or trading decisions.
How it works:
The script calculates the daily percentage change from the previous close and compares it with predefined thresholds (8% up, 4% down). Volume is checked against the threshold of 9 million shares. Appropriate background colors and shape markers are then plotted accordingly.
Romi Trend and Momentum Oscillator
Great oscillator which determines trend and momentum. So accurate it could be used as a stand alone indicator.
Momentum BandsMomentum Bands indicator-->technical tool that measures the rate of price change and surrounds this momentum with adaptive bands to highlight overbought and oversold zones. Unlike Bollinger Bands, which track price, these bands track momentum itself, offering a unique view of market strength and exhaustion points. At its core, it features a blue momentum line that calculates the rate of change over a set period, an upper red band marking dynamic resistance created by adding standard deviations to the momentum average, a lower green band marking dynamic support by subtracting standard deviations, and a gray middle line representing the average of momentum as a central anchor. When the momentum line touches or moves beyond the upper red band, it often signals that the market may be overbought and a pullback or reversal could follow; traders might lock in profits or watch for short setups. Conversely, when it drops below the lower green band, it can suggest an oversold market primed for a bounce, prompting traders to look for buying opportunities. If momentum remains between the bands, it typically indicates balanced conditions where waiting for stronger signals at the extremes is wise. The indicator can be used in contrarian strategies—buying near the lower band and selling near the upper—or in trend-following setups by waiting for momentum to return toward the centerline before entering trades. For stronger confirmation, traders often combine it with volume spikes, support and resistance analysis, or other trend tools, and it’s useful to check multiple timeframes to spot consistent patterns. Recommended settings vary: short-term traders might use a 7–10 period momentum with 14-period bands; medium-term traders might keep the default 14-period momentum and 20-period bands; while long-term analysis might use 21-period momentum and 50-period bands. Visually, background colors help spot extremes: red for strong overbought, green for strong oversold, and no color for normal markets, alongside reference lines at 70, 30, and 0 to guide traditional overbought, oversold, and neutral zones. Typical bullish signals include momentum rebounding from the lower band, crossing back above the middle after being oversold, or showing divergence where price makes new lows but momentum doesn’t. Bearish signals might appear when momentum hits the upper band and weakens, drops below the middle after being overbought, or price makes new highs while momentum fails to follow. The indicator tends to work best in mean-reverting or sideways markets rather than strong trends, where overbought and oversold conditions tend to repeat.

Price makes higher low, but momentum makes lower low → Potential reversal up
Hidden Bearish Divergence:
Price makes lower high, but momentum makes higher high → Potential reversal down
B. Session-Based Trading
London Open (3 AM EST): Watch for momentum breaks with volume surge
NY Midday (10 AM - 12 PM EST): Best for trend continuation
Crypto (UTC Midnight): Often sees volatility spikes
7. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Risk per trade: 1-2% of account
Leverage: ≤5x for intraday, ≤2x for swing
Avoid trading:
First 15 mins after major news
Low-volume periods (e.g., forex after 5 PM EST)
8. Pro Tips for Consistency
✅ Wait for Close: Don’t trade wicks, wait for candle close beyond zones.
✅ Combine with Price Action: Only trade if momentum aligns with candlestick patterns (e.g., pin bars, engulfing).
✅ Adjust Lookback: Increase in choppy markets, decrease in trends.
9. Limitations & Fixes
Issue Solution
Whipsaws in choppy markets Increase Min Lookback to 30+
Slow reaction in trends Reduce Max Lookback to 50
False breakouts Require volume confirmation
Final Verdict
This script is best used as a momentum filter – not a standalone system. Combine with:
✔ Trend indicators (200 EMA, ADX)
✔ Volume analysis (VWAP, Volume Profile)
✔ Price structure (S/R, Fibs)
Momentum Candle Identifier # Momentum Candle Identifier
This indicator helps traders identify significant momentum candles by analyzing candle body size relative to recent price action (think after consolidation periods). Unlike traditional volatility indicators, this tool specifically focuses on price movement captured by the candle body (open to close distance), filtering out potentially misleading wicks.
## How It Works
- The indicator calculates the average candle body size over a user-defined lookback period
- Momentum candles are identified when their body size exceeds the average by a customizable threshold multiplier
- Bullish momentum candles (close > open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- Bearish momentum candles (close < open) are highlighted in a user defined color
- A real-time information panel displays key metrics including current average body size and threshold values
## Key Features
- Focus on candle body size rather than full range (high to low)
- Custom lookback period to adapt to different timeframes
- Adjustable threshold multiplier to fine-tune sensitivity
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish momentum candles
- Optional labels for momentum candles
- Information panel showing lookback settings, average size, and momentum candle count
## Usage Tips
- Use shorter lookback periods (3-5) for more signals in choppy markets
- Use longer lookback periods (8-20) to identify only the most significant momentum moves
- Higher threshold multipliers (2.0+) will identify only the strongest momentum candles
- Combine with trend indicators to find potential reversal or continuation signals
- Look for clusters of momentum candles to identify strong shifts in market sentiment
This indicator helps identify candles that represent significant price movement relative to recent activity, potentially signaling changes in market momentum, sentiment shifts, or the beginning of new trends.
