Thange Momentum KicksTitle: Thange Momentum Kicks Indicator - Identify Strong Bullish and Bearish Candles
Description:
The Thange Momentum Kicks indicator is a small tool designed to identify strong bullish and bearish candles in a candlestick price chart. By analyzing the momentum and size of each candle, this indicator highlights potential significant price movements.
The indicator marks strong bullish candles with a "Bull Kick" label to signal their strength on price action. Similarly, strong bearish candles are identified with the "Bear Kick" label. These kicks are characterized by their size and momentum, indicating a high probability of significant price movement.
The indicator allows traders and investors to easily spot these kicks on their charts, helping them make quick decisions. It calculates the percentage momentum of each candle and compares it to the specified thresholds for bullish and bearish kicks.
Key Features:
- Identifies strong bullish and bearish candles ("Kicks") based on momentum and size.
- Customizable input parameters for setting the percentage thresholds for kicks.
- Labels and tooltips provide essential information such as momentum, percentage change, open, and close prices.
- Differentiates between bullish kicks with blue color and bearish kicks with a unique pink color.
- Plots the candles with the specified colors for easy visualization.
Instructions:
1. Look for the "Kicks" labeled candles on your chart.
2. Bullish kicks indicate strong upward momentum, while bearish kicks represent strong downward momentum.
3. Consider the size and momentum of the kicks when making trading decisions.
4. Combine the Thange Momentum Kicks indicator with other technical analysis tools for a comprehensive market analysis.
Note: The Thange Momentum Kicks indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators, chart patterns, and risk management strategies to confirm signals and optimize trade entries and exits.
Disclaimer: This indicator should be used as a tool for technical analysis and does not guarantee specific trading outcomes. Users should exercise their own discretion and risk management when making trading decisions based on this indicator.
I hope my Thange Momentum Kicks indicator enhances your trading experience and helps you identify strong bullish and bearish candles with ease. Happy trading!

[KICK] NutshellThe Nutshell indicator gives you a true read of the market at quick glance – “in a nutshell”. The indicator contains components for volatility, momentum, trend strength, volume flow, price divergence detection, and impulsive move detection. This allows you to discern improved entry and exit points and accommodates many trading styles, systems, and strategies. It will work with most instruments and timeframes (though a few of the components do require volume, so some things like indexes won't work). The specific components of the indicator are:
Price action volatility indicator (the background zig-zags that are purple, orange, red, and pink). We are using a percentile ranking of ATR which gives a broader picture of the price volatility intra-bar than something like historical volatility percentile because it encompasses the range of price action and not simply the close of each bar. It is typically best to enter trades in the purple zone and “ride them out” through the higher volatility intervals.
Low volatility warning indicator (the bright green background highlights). When the ATR-PR is critically low, that means price volatility can only go on way (expand). These warnings are key to volatility strategies where knowing large moves are imminent is critical. While these warnings do not indicate the direction of the imminent move, there are plenty of other directional indicators present.
Gravity Tunnel Squeeze indicator (the yellow dots down the center-line, culminating in a yellow background highlight upon release). This is a slightly different take on the Momentum Squeeze indicator. In the traditional implementation a squeeze occurs when Keltner Channels move inside Bollinger Bands. In our implementation we use the Center of Gravity as a basis and measure when the Z-Score Deviation moves inside an ATR multiple. At the point of release you typically see an expansion of volatility, though often the signal presents earlier than an ATR-PR expansion. The longer the price action was under the squeeze the longer/farther the released price action is likely to go.
Swing Momentum indicator (white line with various red/green dots on it). The swing momentum indicator uses stochastic oscillators in the style of the ever-popular “Wave Trend” indicator to give a responsive read on the price action momentum. Green and Red dots indicate a change in direction of the momentum and when these occur in the extreme the center of the dot will be a black cross. Usually these extreme direction changes denote larger trend changes.
Momentum velocity indicator (blue area fill). This indicator can be used with the swing momentum line to determine how close/far the next direction change is away (every time the blue line crosses the zero-line a direction change occurs). The steeper the slope of this line also gives an indication of how fast the swing momentum is accelerating or decelerating.
Volatility Adjusted Volume Waves (the red/green dots across the top of the indicator) denote the current direction of price action based on cumulative volume weighted based on the ATR of the associated price action. While they are slower to respond than some of the other directional momentum components of this indicator, they can be treated as a pretty strong (conservative) confirmation of trend direction.
Strength of Trend (the blue/orange dots across the bottom of the indicator) is indicated with a Leaf-West variant of the ADX. Basically, if you see orange the price action is considered choppy and if it’s blue it’s trending. Depending on your time frame you can interpret these a bit differently. On smaller time frames you might consider the orange areas no-trade zones and wait until it turns blue.
Topping or Bottoming moves (Red triangles at the top or Green triangles at the bottom). We use a series of methods to detect likely reversal points (including checks for 10+ oscillator/price divergences). Since divergence is only confirmed after new local price highs/lows are established these reversal points won’t always be accurate, but we want to provide the earliest warning possible. Keep this in mind when taking action on them and wait a few bars for confirmation to be more conservative.
Pump and Dump warnings (red/green spirals that appear in the center of the indicator). Using 3rd generation moving average stochastics we get a very sensitive read on when they form patterns that typically precede large price action movements. These patterns work better for some markets than others so you will have to test with your instrument and timeframe to see how accurate they are for you. If you get one of these in conjunction with a red/green triangle and/or just after a low volatility or GT-Sqz release highlight, then buckle up.
The indicator also includes a number of custom alert conditions (all related to the above indicator components) that can be used to create alerts.

[KICK] Volatility HeatmapWith this indicator you can gauge the price volatility of an instrument across multiple timeframes in a very compact visualization. It allows you to find critically low areas of volatility and predict the likelihood of an imminent move or the conclusion of a move. While you can do this with other indicators, it is often easy to miss low volatility on timeframes that you don't normally survey.
Features:
Measure volatility using either Average True Range Percentile Rank (ATR-PR) or Historical Volatility Percentile (HVP)
Measure volatility from any other source (e.g. Volume, or custom series from another indicator) using HVP
2 Rendering Modes (Smooth and Distinct) as seen in the sample chart above
Ability to show current timeframe Volatility in bar chart above the heatmap
Get alerts when a certain number of timeframe levels (configurable) are showing critically low volatility (implying imminent move)
Get an alert when the current timeframe volatility level emerges from a critically low volatility zone (usually indicating the start of a significant move)
The bands on the map are 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 13x, 21x, and 34x the curent timeframe. The volatility measurements go (from lowest to highest): Lime, Blue, Dark Purple -> Light Purple (gradient), Magenta, Pink. If you see grey blocks/bands, these indicate that the instrument you are using does not have enough historical data to determine the volatility based on your timeframe and reference period. For example, if you are using a reference period of 100 and are on the daily view, to render the bottom-most band (x34) you would need around 3400 days of data (over 9 years).
You can use this indicator in multiple ways. My favorite way personally is to look for areas that have multiple consecutive timeframes showing low volatility warnings and then enter when the highest of those timeframes turns back to purple. Use other methods, analysis, or indicators to determine direction (or just straddle P.A. with market stops). If I am scalping, then I will generally mostly watch the "current timeframe" and get alerts when it emerges from low volatility.

[KICK] Smart OBVCD DivergencesThis indicator is part of a pair of indicators that make it easier to spot divergences in On Balance Volume , but make the calculations using a unique method. THIS ONE IS IN THE UPPER (PRICE ACTION) PANE OF THE SAMPLE CHART.
Volume is segmented into buy or sell volume by analyzing smaller timeframes (down to 1 minute)
The sell vs. buy volume is calculated as a running total (as per normal OBV calculations)
The Convergence/Divergence of the OBV Buy and Sell volumes are calculated and smoothed with 3rd generation averaging methods
The Smart OBVCD indicator (THE RELATED INDICATOR) visualizes the above calculation on a histogram to make it easier to see the values and how they relate to the price action.
The Smart OBVCD Divergence indicator (THIS ONE) plots Regular and Hidden Bullish and Bearish divergence on higher timeframes based on the calculations and also provides early “warnings” for unconfirmed divergences forming (note: these are unconfirmed because the higher high or lower low have now yet been confirmed on the higher timeframe).

[KICK] Ultimate VWAPsThis indicator provides numerous indicator tools/functions all related to Volume Weighted Price Averages (VWAPs). Specifically the ability to add multiple anchored VWAPs to arbitrary points (highs, lows, significant events such as earnings , flash crashes, etc...) is a very powerful way to see where market participants that were active at those times are in regards those positions relative to current price.
With this indicator you can:
Enable a typical session-based VWAP (resets every session) - does not render line from last candle of session to first candle of new session so as to keep your charts looking a bit neater.
Enable a week-to-date VWAP , month-to-date VWAP , or year-to-date VWAP
Enable an anchored VWAP that can be automatically anchored to the high within the last week (timeframe independent) or to a high within a certain number of candles back, or set to a specific date and time. There is also an "ignore" recent candle filter if using the candle range method for auto-locating the high.
Enable an anchored VWAP that can be automatically anchored to the low within the last week (timeframe independent) or to a low within a certain number of candles back, or set to a specific date and time. There is also an "ignore recent candle" filter if using the candle range method for auto-locating the low.
The week/month/year-to-date VWAP can also be treated as an Ad-Hoc anchored VWAP and have it’s anchor set to an arbitrary date and time.
A support/resistance line can be added in for the last session’s VWAP close.
Z-Score bands can be added (band values configurable) and attached to any of the above VWAPs (Session, AutoHigh, AutoLow, AdHoc/Week/Month/Year). These are calculated using the proper unbiased standard deviation calculation (not the built in PineScript biased stdev function).
(note: not all functionality is shown in the chart above because it would be a mess - all the options for this indicator are not necessarily intended to be used simultaneously on the same chart, though they can be if you really like that sort of thing)

[KICK] Ultimate ADXDMIThis indicator is a version of the ADX and DMI indicators optimized for maximum information conveyance related to trending price action in a compact space.
Use the ADX barchart to determine strength of trend. There are various configurable thresholds for this measurement as well as peak marking within the exhaustion zone. The higher the values in the bar chart, the stronger the trend. Low values indicate non-trending or choppy price action.
Use the DMI line graphs (as well as the color codes on the ADX barchart) to determine trending direction. You can offset the DI+ and DI- lines so that they are not directly on top of the ADX chart. When the DI+ is on top (blue line by default) the trend is up and when the DI- line (yellow by default) is on top the trend is down. The colors of the ADX chart also indicate direction with red indicating down and green indicating up. The "pale" shades indicate a nacent/immature trend, "bright" shades indicate a solid trend, and the "darker" shades indicate a strong trend that is mature. Look for these mature trends to "top out" and have their peaks marked when the trend has exhausted itself (note that the peak indicators will repaint 1-2 candles in the past after the "high" is confirmed).
You can specify up to 3 additional timeframes to monitor in the dot map below the ADX chart that will give you a generalized idea of the trend on those larger timeframes. In these heat maps, the color red indicates a down trend and green an up trend. The brighter colors denote strong trends while the darker colors are weaker. Grey dots in the heat map indicate no strong trend present. Some users actually prefer to turn off the main ADX and DMI visualizations and only display the multi-timeframe heatmap as a way of checking higher timeframe trends before entering their trades.
