Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.

Truly Iterative Gaussian ChannelOVERVIEW
The Truly Iterative Gaussian Channel is a robust channeling system that integrates a Gaussian smoothing kernel with a rolling standard deviation to create dynamically adaptive upper and lower boundaries around price. This indicator provides a smooth, yet responsive representation of price movements while minimizing lag and dynamically adjusting channel width to reflect real-time market volatility. Its versatility makes it effective across various timeframes and trading styles, offering significant potential for experimentation and integration into advanced trading systems.
TRADING USES
The Gaussian indicator can be used for multiple trading strategies. Trend following relies on the middle Gaussian line to gauge trend direction: prices above this line indicate bullish momentum, while prices below signal bearish momentum. The upper and lower boundaries act as dynamic support and resistance levels, offering breakout or pullback entry opportunities. Mean reversion focuses on identifying reversal setups when price approaches or breaches the outer boundaries, aiming for a return to the Gaussian centerline. Volatility filtering helps assess market conditions, with narrow channels indicating low volatility or consolidation and suggesting fewer trading opportunities or an impending breakout. Adaptive risk management uses channel width to adjust for market volatility, with wider channels signaling higher risk and tighter channels indicating lower volatility and potentially safer entry points.
THEORY
Gaussian kernel smoothing, derived from the Gaussian normal distribution, is a cornerstone of probability and statistics, valued for its ability to reduce noise while preserving critical signal features. In this indicator, it ensures price movements are smoothed with precision, minimizing distortion while maintaining responsiveness to market dynamics.
The rolling standard deviation complements this by dynamically measuring price dispersion from the mean, enabling the channel to adapt in real time to changing market conditions. This combination leverages the mathematical correctness of both tools to balance smoothness and adaptability.
An iterative framework processes data efficiently, bar by bar, without recalculating historical value to ensure reliability and preventing repainting to create a mathematically grounded channel system suitable for a wide range of market environments.
The Gaussian channel excels at filtering noise while remaining responsive to price action, providing traders with a dependable tool for identifying trends, reversals, and volatility shifts with consistency and precision.
CALIBRATION
Calibration of the Gaussian channel involves adjusting its length to modify sensitivity and adaptability based on trading style. Shorter lengths (e.g., 50-100) are ideal for intraday traders seeking quick responses to price fluctuations. Medium lengths (e.g., 150-200) cater to swing traders aiming to capture broader market trends. Longer lengths (e.g., 250-400+) are better suited for positional traders focusing on long-term price movements and stability.
MARKET USAGE
Stock, Forex, Crypto, Commodities, and Indices.

MTF SqzMom - Multi-Timeframe Squeeze & Momentum Tool
MTF SqzMom is a tool designed to help traders easily monitor squeeze and momentum signals across multiple timeframes in a simple, organized format. Built using Pine Script 5, it ensures that data remains consistent, even when switching between different time intervals on the chart.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Monitoring: Track squeeze and momentum signals across various timeframes, all in one view. This includes key timeframes like 1-minute, 5-minute, hourly, and daily.
Dynamic Table Display: A color-coded table that automatically adjusts based on the selected timeframes, offering a clear view of market conditions.
Alerts for Key Market Events: Get notifications when a squeeze starts or fires across your chosen timeframes, so you can stay informed without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
Customizable Appearance: Tailor the look of the table by selecting colors for squeeze levels and momentum shifts, and choose the best position on your chart for easy access.
How It Works:
MTF SqzMom is based on the concept of the squeeze, which signals periods of lower volatility where price breakouts may occur. The tool tracks this by monitoring the contraction of Bollinger Bands within Keltner Channels. Along with this, it provides momentum analysis to help you gauge the potential direction of the market after a squeeze.
Squeeze Conditions: The script tracks four levels of squeeze conditions (no squeeze, low, mid, and high), each represented by a different color in the table.
Momentum Analysis: Momentum is visually represented by colors indicating four stages: up increasing, up decreasing, down increasing, and down decreasing. This color coding helps you quickly assess whether the market is gaining or losing momentum.
Using Alerts:
You can enable two types of alerts: when a squeeze starts (indicating consolidation) and when a squeeze fires (indicating a breakout). These alerts cover all timeframes you’ve selected, so you never miss important signals.
How to Set It Up:
1. Enable Alerts in Settings: Turn on "Alert for Squeeze Start" and "Alert for Squeeze Fire" in the settings.
2. Add Alerts to Your Chart:
Click the three dots next to the indicator name.
Select "Add alert on tradeviZion - MTF SqzMom."
3. Customize and Save: Adjust alert options, choose your notification type, and click "Create."
Why Use MTF SqzMom ?
Consistent Data: The tool ensures that squeeze and momentum data remain consistent, even when you switch between chart intervals.
Real-Time Alerts: Stay updated with alerts for squeeze conditions without needing to constantly watch the chart.
Simple to Use, Customizable to Fit: You can easily adjust the table’s look and choose the timeframes and colors that best suit your trading style.
Acknowledgment:
While this tool builds on the TTM Squeeze concept developed by John Carter of Simpler Trading, it offers added flexibility through multi-timeframe analysis, alerts, and customizability to make monitoring market conditions more accessible.
Momentum Bias Index [AlgoAlpha]Description:
The Momentum Bias Index by AlgoAlpha is designed to provide traders with a powerful tool for assessing market momentum bias. The indicator calculates the positive and negative bias of momentum to gauge which one is greater to determine the trend.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Momentum Analysis: The script aims to detect momentum-trend bias, typically when in an uptrend, the momentum oscillator will oscillate around the zero line but will have stronger positive values than negative values, similarly for a downtrend the momentum will have stronger negative values. This script aims to quantify this phenomenon.
Overlay Mode: Traders can choose to overlay the indicator on the price chart for a clear visual representation of market momentum.
Take-profit Signals: The indicator includes signals to lock in profits, they appear as labels in overlay mode and as crosses when overlay mode is off.
Impulse Boundary: The script includes an impulse boundary, the impulse boundary is a threshold to visualize significant spikes in momentum.
Standard Deviation Multiplier: Users can adjust the standard deviation multiplier to increase the noise tolerance of the impulse boundary.
Bias Length Control: Traders can customize the length for evaluating bias, enabling them to fine-tune the indicator according to their trading preferences. A higher length will give a longer-term bias in trend.

Absolute Momentum (Time Series Momentum)Absolute momentum , also known as time series momentum , focuses on the trend of an asset's own past performance to predict its future performance. It involves analyzing an asset's own historical performance, rather than comparing it to other assets.
The strategy determines whether an asset's price is exhibiting an upward (positive momentum) or downward (negative momentum) trend by assessing the asset's return over a given period (standard look-back period: 12 months or approximately 250 trading days). Some studies recommend calculating momentum by deducting the corresponding Treasury bill rate from the measured performance.
Absolute Momentum Indicator
The Absolute Momentum Indicator displays the rolling 12-month performance (measured over 250 trading days) and plots it against a horizontal line representing 0%. If the indicator crosses above this line, it signifies positive absolute momentum, and conversely, crossing below indicates negative momentum. An additional, optional look-back period input field can be accessed through the settings.
Hint: This indicator is a simplified version, as some academic approaches measure absolute momentum by subtracting risk-free rates from the 12-month performance. However, even with higher rates, the values will still remain close to the 0% line.
Benefits of Absolute Momentum
Absolute momentum, which should not be confused with relative momentum or the momentum indicator, serves as a timing instrument for both individual assets and entire markets.
Gary Antonacci , a key contributor to the absolute momentum strategy (find study below), emphasizes its effectiveness in multi-asset portfolios and its importance in long-only investing. This is particularly evident in a) reducing downside volatility and b) mitigating behavioral biases.
Moskowitz, Ooi, and Pedersen document significant 'time series momentum' across various asset classes, including equity index, currency, commodity, and bond futures, in 58 liquid instruments (find study below). There's a notable persistence in returns ranging from one to 12 months, which tends to partially reverse over longer periods. This pattern aligns with sentiment theories suggesting initial under-reaction followed by delayed over-reaction.
Despite its surprising ease of implementation, the academic community has successfully measured the effects of absolute momentum across decades and in every major asset class, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and foreign exchange (FX).
Strategies for Implementing Absolute Momentum:
To Buy a Stock:
Select a Look-Back Period: Choose a historical period to analyze the stock's performance. A common period is 12 months, but this can vary based on your investment strategy.
Calculate Excess Return: Determine the stock's excess return over this period. You can also assume a risk-free rate of "0" to simplify the process.
Evaluate Momentum:
If the excess return is positive, it indicates positive absolute momentum. This suggests the stock is in an upward trend and could be a good buying opportunity.
If the excess return is negative, it suggests negative momentum, and you might want to delay buying.
Consider further conditions: Align your decision with broader market trends, economic indicators, or fundamental analysis, for additional context.
To Sell a Stock You Own:
Regularly Monitor Performance: Use the same look-back period as for buying (e.g., 12 months) to regularly assess the stock's performance.
Check for Negative Momentum: Calculate the excess return for the look-back period. Again, you can assume a risk-free rate of "0" to simplify the process. If the stock shows negative momentum, it might be time to consider selling.
Consider further conditions:Align your decision with broader market trends, economic indicators, or fundamental analysis, for additional context.
Important note: Note: Entering a position (i.e., buying) based on positive absolute momentum doesn't necessarily mean you must sell it if it later exhibits negative absolute momentum. You can initiate a position using positive absolute momentum as an entry indicator and then continue holding it based on other criteria, such as fundamental analysis.
General Tips:
Reassessment Frequency: Decide how often you will reassess the momentum (monthly, quarterly, etc.).
Remember, while absolute momentum provides a systematic approach, it's recommendable to consider it as part of a broader investment strategy that includes diversification, risk management, fundamental analysis, etc.

Z-Score Based Momentum Zones with Advanced Volatility ChannelsThe indicator "Z-Score Based Momentum Zones with Advanced Volatility Channels" combines various technical analysis components, including volatility, price changes, and volume correction, to calculate Z-Scores and determine momentum zones and provide a visual representation of price movements and volatility based on multi timeframe highest high and lowest low values.
Note: THIS IS A IMPROVEMNT OF "Multi Time Frame Composite Bands" INDICATOR OF MINE WITH MORE EMPHASIS ON MOMENTUM ZONES CALULATED BASED ON Z-SCORES
Input Options
look_back_length: This input specifies the look-back period for calculating intraday volatility. correction It is set to a default value of 5.
lookback_period: This input sets the look-back period for calculating relative price change. The default value is 5.
zscore_period: This input determines the look-back period for calculating the Z-Score. The default value is 500.
avgZscore_length: This input defines the length of the momentum block used in calculations, with a default value of 14.
include_vc: This is a boolean input that, if set to true, enables volume correction in the calculations. By default, it is set to false.
1. Volatility Bands (Composite High and Low):
Composite High and Low: These are calculated by combining different moving averages of the high prices (high) and low prices (low). Specifically:
a_high and a_low are calculated as the average of the highest (ta.highest) and lowest (ta.lowest) high and low prices over various look-back periods (5, 8, 13, 21, 34) to capture short and long-term trends.
b_high and b_low are calculated as the simple moving average (SMA) of the high and low prices over different look-back periods (5, 8, 13) to smooth out the trends.
high_c and low_c are obtained by averaging a_high with b_high and a_low with b_low respectively.
IDV Correction Calulation : In this script the Intraday Volatility (IDV) is calculated as the simple moving average (SMA) of the daily high-low price range divided by the closing price. This measures how much the price fluctuates in a given period.
Composite High and Low with Volatility: The final c_high and c_low values are obtained by adjusting high_c and low_c with the calculated intraday volatility (IDV). These values are used to create the "Composite High" and "Composite Low" plots.
Composite High and Low with Volatility Correction: The final c_high and c_low values are obtained by adjusting high_c and low_c with the calculated intraday volatility (IDV). These values are used to create the "Composite High" and "Composite Low" plots.
2. Momentum Blocks Based on Z-Score:
Relative Price Change (RPC):
The Relative Price Change (rpdev) is calculated as the difference between the current high-low-close average (hlc3) and the previous simple moving average (psma_hlc3) of the same quantity. This measures the change in price over time.
Additionally, std_hlc3 is calculated as the standard deviation of the hlc3 values over a specified look-back period. The standard deviation quantifies the dispersion or volatility in the price data.
The rpdev is then divided by the std_hlc3 to normalize the price change by the volatility. This normalization ensures that the price change is expressed in terms of standard deviations, which is a common practice in quantitative analysis.
Essentially, the rpdev represents how many standard deviations the current price is away from the previous moving average.
Volume Correction (VC): If the include_vc input is set to true, volume correction is applied by dividing the trading volume by the previous simple moving average of the volume (psma_volume). This accounts for changes in trading activity.
Volume Corrected Relative Price Change (VCRPD): The vcrpd is calculated by multiplying the rpdev by the volume correction factor (vc). This incorporates both price changes and volume data.
Z-Scores: The Z-scores are calculated by taking the difference between the vcrpd and the mean (mean_vcrpd) and then dividing it by the standard deviation (stddev_vcrpd). Z-scores measure how many standard deviations a value is away from the mean. They help identify whether a value is unusually high or low compared to its historical distribution.
Momentum Blocks: The "Momentum Blocks" are essentially derived from the Z-scores (avgZScore). The script assigns different colors to the "Fill Area" based on predefined Z-score ranges. These colored areas represent different momentum zones:
Positive Z-scores indicate bullish momentum, and different shades of green are used to fill the area.
Negative Z-scores indicate bearish momentum, and different shades of red are used.
Z-scores near zero (between -0.25 and 0.25) suggest neutrality, and a yellow color is used.
Volume Accumulation Oscillator (VAO)The Volume Accumulation Oscillator (VAO) is a powerful momentum-based indicator designed to assess the strength of volume accumulation in a given asset. It helps traders identify periods of intense buying or selling pressure and potential trend reversals.
The VAO calculates the Net Volume Accumulation (NVA) by considering the volume, open, close, high, and low prices. It then applies exponential moving averages (EMAs) to smooth the NVA and calculates the VAO by comparing the smoothed NVA with its EMA over a specified signal period.
The VAO is plotted as a line chart, providing a clear visual representation of its values. Positive VAO values indicate strong bullish volume accumulation, suggesting potential upward price movement. Conversely, negative VAO values indicate significant selling pressure and the possibility of a downtrend.
To enhance the analysis, the indicator includes reference levels such as the zero line and +/-1 levels. These levels serve as important reference points for interpreting the VAO values and identifying key turning points in the market.
Additionally, the VAO histogram is included, which further illustrates the strength and direction of volume accumulation. The histogram bars are color-coded, with green bars representing positive VAO values and red bars representing negative VAO values.
The Volume Accumulation Oscillator is a versatile tool that can be used in various trading strategies. Traders can look for divergences between the VAO and the price chart to identify potential trend reversals. Combining the VAO with other technical analysis techniques can provide valuable insights into market dynamics and help traders make informed trading decisions.
Note: It is recommended to customize the indicator's parameters and conduct thorough backtesting to align it with your specific trading strategy and preferences before using it for live trading.
Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Trading involves risks, and it is important to exercise caution and conduct your own analysis before making any investment decisions.
Trend and Momentum DashboardI created this indicator to tell me when it's time to trade (going long) and when it's time to wait (or going short).
You can enter up to 13 ticker (default is S&P500 and key market segments).
For each ticker, fibonacci levels are calculated and represented either in 5 color or 3 color mode as single lines.
(Thanks to eykpunter for the fibonacci level implementation. I'm using his code and modified it slightly).
Color coding (5 color mode) explanation:
blue = in uptrend area
light blue = in prudent buyers area
gray = in center area
light red = in prudent sellers area
red = in downtrend area
The topline is a combination of all ticker and shows if the market is either bullish or bearish (threshold adjustable in settings)
The bullish/bearish trend can also be used as background color. Alternatively the last bar in the selected time period is been highlighted.
How to use it:
The indicator works on all timeframes. Use the color coding explanation above to see the status of each asset.
a) You can evaluate "long" term trend using day or week timeframe. e.g. I'm usually trading only long and stay out of the market when it is not bullish (top line & background = blue). I'm also using it to know which segments/assets are currently "hot".
b) You can evaluate short term momentum (using 1h or lower timeframe) and see in which direction the market/assets are moving. e.g. I use this when the exchanges open to see how the day is going to move.
I've attached 3 examples in the screenshot - first is the default, in the second one I'm using different asset classes and the third one is for crypto.
Limitations:
There are security request limits as well as string limitations for the security calls in pine script, so I went to the maximum what is currently possible.

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 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.

+ Rate of Change (and OBV)The Rate of Change, or RoC, is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current period and the price n periods ago. It oscillates above and below a zeroline, basically showing positive or negative momentum. I applied the OBV's calculation to it, but without the inclusion of volume (also added a lookback period) to see what would happen.
Actually what happened was I was looking at hot-rodding the OBV indicator, but then wondered if I could apply the cumulative calculation to another indicator to see what would happen. Not sure why I chose the Rate of Change, but it seemed a neat idea. And it worked! And so I called it the "Cumulative Rate of Change." I only recently realized that this is actually just the OBV without volume, HOWEVER the OBV does not have a lookback period, and its source is the close of each period. Basically, when you look at the calculation for the OBV you'll notice that it's a cumulative measure of the "change" of the closing price against the previous close times the volume. The Rate of Change is basically that measurement over more than one period, excluding the volume, and is not cumulative. Thus the "Cumulative Rate of Change" is basically an OBV without the volume but with the capability to adjust the lookback period.
Anyway, after days and weeks of playing with the indicator pretty infrequently I did decide that I actually really liked it, especially with the addition of moving averages and bollinger bands. So I decided to play with it a bit more.
I added a drop-down menu to include the standard Rate of Change indicator, and then thought I may as well add the OBV too, in case someone might like to compare that to the C-RoC, or just wants an OBV with myriad moving averages and bollinger bands.
By default I have the indicator set to the "C-RoC" and the lookback is set to 1, but play with longer settings (this is pretty much necessary if using the traditional RoC, which is by default set to 10 in TradingView, and is nigh on useless at 1).
I also recommend playing with the source. 'Close' is nice, but 'ohlc4' provides some very nice signals as well, as it follows the price flow for each period completely, filtering the noisiness of 'close' as source.
Hope you guys like this. With the bollinger bands and your preferred moving average settings this can be a powerful tool for re-entering trades in trend, taking profits, determining momentum swings.
Double Smoothed MomentaDouble Smoothed Momenta was created by William Blau (Stocks & Commodities V. 9:5 (202-205)). His original indicator didn't use a signal period so I added one to notify you when to buy or sell. Buy when the indicator goes over the signal line and sell when it is falls below the signal line.
Let me know what other indicators you would like me to write scripts for!
