Core logic

The Awesome Oscillator (AO) is calculated as the difference between a fast and a slow simple moving average of the median price (hl2).

Key principles:

* the fast period reflects short-term momentum
* the slow period reflects longer-term momentum
* values above zero indicate bullish momentum
* values below zero indicate bearish momentum
* rising histogram values signal increasing momentum
* falling histogram values signal weakening momentum

Changes in histogram direction often precede price pullbacks, continuations, or reversals, making AO useful for early momentum assessment.

Visualization

The script plots:

* a histogram of the Awesome Oscillator in a separate indicator pane
* dynamic color changes based on momentum direction and strength
* dark green bars for increasing bullish momentum
* light green bars for weakening bullish momentum
* dark red bars for increasing bearish momentum
* light red bars for weakening bearish momentum
* a zero reference line for directional context

This color logic provides immediate visual insight into momentum shifts.

Use case

This indicator is intended for:

* identifying momentum direction and momentum strength
* spotting early trend continuation or exhaustion signals
* confirming breakouts and pullbacks
* detecting momentum divergences versus price
* filtering entries in trend-following or momentum-based strategies

It works best when combined with trend filters, structure analysis, or AI-assisted chart evaluation.
