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.

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).

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..
Sumon Pal Momentum OscMomentum Indicator
This is a momentum oscillator calculated by the high/low/close of each bar price movement over a period of time.
When the short term momentum(green line) crosses above the long term momentum line(red)it indicates price is gaining momentum on upside and price may move up.
When the short term momentum(green line) crosses below the long term momentum line(red)it indicates price is gaining momentum on downside and price may go down.
When two lines are flat and converging (both lines are moving closer to each other) it shows momentum is fading out either side and price may go sideways until crossover happens.
Green line above 1 is considered to be overbought zone and below -1 is oversold zone. Look for divergences in these zone along with price action to get a probable price reversal.
When the short time line moves between -0.2 and +0.2, price generally stays in congestion mode
This indicator alone can't be used for buying or selling decision. This indicator can be used along with price action and volume confirmation to get an idea if volume is supporting the momentum or not..
Disclaimer: Backtest this indicator with price action over a period of time and understand how it works before taking any trading decision. The above points are derived based on my observation over a period of time. Trading in equity is always risky. Asses your risk profile and trade by managing proper risk.
Momentum Indicator (Market Experts)Market Experts Momentum Indicator identifies when the price is moving upward or downward and how strongly. When the first version of the momentum indicator is a positive number, the price is above the price "n" periods ago. When it's a negative number, the price is below the price "n" periods ago.
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 SMA [Prometheus]This is a price momentum indicator that calculates the change in price momentum over time with a simple moving average to use as a potential profit taking mechanism.
The lookback period is for calculating the momentum plot on the chart. It measures the closing price between the current candle and the candle X periods ago. (orange line)
The indicator also has a simple moving average of the momentum plotted on the chart. (red/green line with background fill)
This script improves upon its predecessor with an additional higher timeframe momentum indicator and the ability to make both plots represent a fixed timeframe so that you can switch between chart timeframes and continue to see the same momentum profile.
Future versions will include alertconditions.
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 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 Oscillator [Dynamic & Flow] (Expo)Momentum Oscillator -Dynamic & Flow (Expo) is a fast-moving, sensitive oscillator that makes use of momentum in various ways. The indicator has two additional layers (Buy & Sell moves) and (Extremes) which makes it reacts quickly to price changes.
The indicator displays overbought and oversold areas as well as extreme areas and how aggressive buyers and sellers are. It does also displays potential reversal points or potential pullbacks.
The following momentum modes are displayed:
1. Where momentum begins
2. Where momentum is strong
3. Where momentum begins to stall
Where momentum begins to stall is displayed as a red and green color on the momentum line .
Where momentum begins (light green and light red color) and where it's strong (dark green and dark red color) is displayed as upper and lower lines. The darker these lines are the stronger is the momentum.
Potential reversal or pullback is displayed as a blue color on the signal line.
♢ The indicator has inbuilt suggested buy & sell- and stop-loss signals. These signals have flexible settings, so a fast, slow, and sensitive mode can be enabled.
DIVERGENCES
All types of momentum oscillators produce divergences and so does Momentum Oscillator Dynamic & Flow (Expo) . Divergences occur when the oscillator deviates from the trending price action. Bullish divergence is then when the trending price makes a lower low but the oscillator makes a higher low. Bearish divergence is then when the trending price makes a higher high but the oscillator makes a lower high.
HOW TO USE
1. Use the indicator to identify overbought/oversold areas, as well as extreme modes.
2. Use the indicator to display momentum in various ways.
3. Use the indicator to confirm the existence, or a continuation, of a trend.
4. Use the indicator to identify potential reversal points or potential pullbacks.

Momentum TrackerDescription
To 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.
Momentum = Magnitude × Time
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. The indicator measures momentum in three different ways:
Normalized Momentum
Identifies when the current price reaches a new high or low compared to a historical window. This is the most standardized measurement and adapts well across markets.
Normalized = Current Price ≥ Maximum Price in Lookback
Normalized = Current Price ≤ Minimum Price in Lookback
Relative Momentum
Measures the percentage difference between a fast and a slow moving average. This method helps capture acceleration, the rate at which momentum is building over time.
Relative = |Fast MA − Slow MA| ÷ Slow MA × 100
Absolute Momentum
Measures how far price has moved from the highest or lowest point within a defined lookback period.
Absolute = (Current Price − Lowest Price) ÷ Lowest Price × 100
Absolute = (Highest Price − Current Price) ÷ Highest Price × 100
Customization
The tool is customizable in terms of lookback period and thresholds to accommodate different trading styles and timeframes, allowing users to set criteria that align with specific hold times and momentum requirements. While the various calculations can be enabled, the tool is best used in isolation of each to visualize different momentum conditions.
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 Velocity [BackQuant]Momentum Velocity
Main Features:
- Momentum Based Oscillator
- Divergences
- Overbought and Oversold Conditions based off a VZO
- Alert Conditions
- Ability to make Adaptive
- Big User input menu for customisation
The Momentum Velocity indicator is based on the principle of momentum , which is a measure of the rate of change or the speed at which prices move over a specified time period. The underlying assumption of momentum trading is that assets that have performed well in the recent past will continue to perform well in the near future, and conversely, assets that have performed poorly will continue to perform poorly. This concept is widely accepted and empirically supported in financial literature, making the Momentum Velocity indicator empirically sound for several reasons:
Empirical Evidence on Momentum
Academic Research: A foundational piece of research that supports the momentum strategy is Jegadeesh and Titman's study, "Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers: Implications for Stock Market Efficiency," published in the Journal of Finance in 1993. The authors find that strategies which buy stocks that have performed well in the past and sell stocks that have performed poorly generate significantly higher than expected returns over 3- to 12-month holding periods. This study is one of many that empirically validate the momentum effect in stock returns.
Behavioural Finance Theories:
Behavioural finance provides explanations for the momentum effect that go beyond the efficient market hypothesis. Theories such as investor herding, overreaction and under reaction to news, and the disposition effect can cause price trends to continue. The momentum strategy exploits these behavioural biases by assuming that prices will continue to move in their current direction for some time.
Global Evidence:
The momentum effect is not limited to specific markets or asset classes. Studies have documented momentum profits across various countries, markets, and asset types (stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies). For instance, Asness, Moskowitz, and Pedersen in their paper, "Value and Momentum Everywhere," published in the Journal of Finance in 2013, show that momentum strategies can yield positive returns in different international markets.
Risk Factors:
Some researchers argue that the returns to momentum strategies are compensation for bearing certain risks. However, the empirical evidence suggests that momentum returns are difficult to explain by traditional risk factors alone, adding to the strategy’s attractiveness. The factor model of Carhart (1997), which adds a momentum factor to the Fama and French three-factor model, highlights the importance of momentum as a distinct source of returns.
Empirical Evidence Application
The Momentum Velocity indicator applies these empirical insights by quantitatively measuring the speed and direction of price movements over a given period, adjusting for recent market conditions through adaptive filtering, and normalizing the results to identify potential trading signals. By doing so, it provides traders with a tool that not only captures the essence of the momentum anomaly but also enhances it with modern technical analysis techniques for real-time market application.
Trading Application
Due to the robustness of momentum, traders are able to use this as a confluence metric into their system on any timeframe. Providing robust signals, that by extention are adaptive to the market. This is also further enabled by using adaptive filtering.
Conclusion
In summary, the empirical soundness of the Momentum Velocity indicator is grounded in the well-documented momentum effect observed in financial markets. By leveraging historical price data to predict future price movements, it aligns with both academic research and observed market behavior, making it a potentially valuable tool for traders seeking to exploit momentum-based trading opportunities.

How it can be used in the context of a Trading System
Momentum and momentum divergences are pivotal concepts in trading systems, offering traders insights into the strength and potential reversal points of market trends. Momentum, a measure of the rate of price changes, helps traders identify the velocity of market movements, allowing them to ride the wave of prevailing trends for profits. When momentum divergences occur—where price movement and momentum indicators move in opposite directions—they signal a weakening of the current trend and potential for reversal. Traders can use these signals to adjust their positions, entering or exiting trades based on the anticipation of trend changes. Incorporating momentum and its divergences into a trading system provides a dynamic strategy that leverages the market's natural cycles of trend strength and exhaustion, aiming to capitalize on both continuation and reversal opportunities for enhanced trading outcomes.
We have also added a volume based component for traders to use as a point of confluence. It is shown on the chart giving background hues for overbought and oversold signals.

Momentum Flow OscillatorIndicator Overview: Momentum Flow Oscillator (MFO)
The Momentum Flow Oscillator (MFO) is a powerful tool for detecting shifts in market momentum. It combines a momentum-based calculation with a dynamic ribbon of moving averages to help traders identify trend reversals, continuations, and market consolidations. The MFO offers a clear visual representation of market conditions and assists traders in making informed decisions based on the relationship between momentum and its underlying trends.
The MFO line (green) is plotted alongside a Base Line (black) and a series of moving averages (ribbon). The ribbon is composed of five moving averages of different lengths, which allow traders to spot trends, momentum shifts, and potential trade opportunities. It is important to note that the ribbon tends to be a slower-moving component of the indicator, providing long-term trend signals rather than quick, reactive signals.
Components of the Indicator:
Momentum Flow Index (MFI):
This green line is the core of the indicator, representing market momentum derived from price and volume action. It reacts to changes in market dynamics and helps identify periods of strength and weakness.
Base Line (Black Line):
The black line is a 200-period moving average of the momentum flow. This acts as a dynamic support/resistance level for the MFI, smoothing out the price action over a longer period and providing a clearer trend signal.
Moving Averages Ribbon:
The ribbon is composed of five moving averages with different periods (100, 125, 150, 175, and 200). These moving averages create a visual "ribbon" that helps identify trends and consolidations, allowing traders to visualize the market’s momentum over different time frames.
The ribbon acts as a slower-moving indicator, helping to confirm long-term trends. Traders should keep in mind that the ribbon provides signals with a lag, making it ideal for trend-following rather than quick, short-term trades.
How to Use the Momentum Flow Oscillator (MFO):
1. Bullish Momentum Signals:
When the MFI (green line) crosses above the Base Line and the SMA ribbon, it indicates increasing momentum in the market. This signal is particularly strong when the MFI stays above the ribbon for an extended period.
Trade Example: Traders can use this as a buy signal when the MFI crosses above the ribbon, indicating that momentum is shifting to the upside. If the ribbon starts fanning out, it suggests the market is trending strongly upward, which may support a long position.
2. Bearish Momentum Signals:
When the MFI crosses below the Base Line and the SMA ribbon, it signals decreasing momentum. This is a bearish sign, indicating that the market may be preparing for a downturn.
Trade Example: A trader can use the cross below the ribbon as a sell signal or consider entering a short position when momentum weakens. If the ribbon fans out in a downward direction, it suggests the market is trending lower, and a short position may be warranted.
3. Neutral or Caution Signals:
When the MFI fluctuates within the SMA ribbon or crosses in and out frequently, the market may be in a consolidation phase or range-bound. In this situation, the trend is uncertain, and momentum is not strong enough to break decisively in either direction.
Trade Example: Traders may want to avoid taking new positions when the MFI is moving sideways within the ribbon, as this indicates indecision in the market. Waiting for a breakout above or below the ribbon can provide clearer signals for trading.
4. Trend Confirmation with Ribbon Expansion:
When the SMA ribbon expands, it indicates strong momentum in the direction of the trend. A clear widening of the ribbon with the MFI above (bullish) or below (bearish) signals a strong, sustainable trend.
Trade Example: As the ribbon expands, it confirms the strength of the trend, and traders can use this as confirmation to either hold an existing position or add to it.
5. Reversal Signals from Ribbon Contraction:
When the SMA ribbon contracts or the MFI crosses back and forth over the Base Line, it signals a potential reversal or a weakening of the existing trend.
Trade Example: In these cases, traders might consider closing positions or preparing for a reversal, as the contraction often signals a potential breakout in the opposite direction.
Example of Using the MFO in Trading:
In the provided chart image, you can see the MFI moving below the Base Line and the SMA ribbon for an extended period. This indicates bearish momentum, and traders could use this signal to enter a short position or avoid long positions until the MFI shows signs of crossing back above the ribbon. When the MFI crosses above the ribbon, it can signal a potential bullish reversal, indicating it might be time to re-enter long positions or close short positions.
Additional Trading Tips:
Combine with Other Indicators: The MFO can be used in combination with other technical tools such as volume-based indicators, trendlines, or oscillators like RSI or MACD to confirm signals and increase accuracy.
Use Different Time Frames: Traders can apply the MFO on different time frames (e.g., daily, weekly) to capture both short-term and long-term trends. Crossovers in longer time frames provide stronger confirmation of trend direction.
Conservative Entry: For more conservative traders, waiting for the MFI to fully cross above or below the ribbon (rather than within it) can help filter out false signals and avoid entering trades during consolidation phases.
Conclusion:
The Momentum Flow Oscillator offers traders a versatile and visual approach to gauging market momentum and trend strength. By observing the interaction between the MFI and the SMA ribbon, traders can spot trend changes early, confirm existing trends, and stay out of choppy, sideways markets. Keep in mind that the ribbon is a slower-moving part of the indicator—perfect for trend-following strategies but less ideal for fast, reactive trades. Use this indicator to increase your confidence in your trading decisions and improve your ability to capture trends in the market.
