Relative Strength and MomentumRelative Strength and Momentum Indicator
Unlock deeper market insights with the Relative Strength and Momentum Indicator—a powerful tool designed to help traders and investors identify the strongest stocks and sectors based on relative performance. This custom indicator displays essential information on relative strength and momentum for up to 15 different symbols, compared against a benchmark index, all within a clear and organized table format.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Inputs: Choose up to 15 symbols to compare, along with a benchmark index, allowing you to tailor the indicator to your trading strategy. The 'Lookback Period' input defines how many weeks of data are analyzed for relative strength and momentum.
2. Relative Strength Calculation: For each selected symbol, the indicator calculates the Relative Strength (RS) against the chosen benchmark. This RS is further refined using an exponential moving average (EMA) to smooth the results, providing a more stable trend overview.
3. Momentum Analysis: Momentum is determined by analyzing the rate of change in relative strength. The indicator calculates a momentum rank for each symbol, based on its relative strength’s improvement or deterioration.
4. Percentile Ranking System: Each symbol is assigned a percentile rank (from 1 to 100) based on its relative strength compared to the others. Similarly, momentum rankings are also assigned from 1 to 100, offering a clear understanding of which assets are outperforming or underperforming.
5. Visual Indicators:
a. Green: Signals improving or stable relative strength and momentum.
b. Red: Indicates declining relative strength or momentum.
c. Aqua: Highlights symbols performing well on both relative strength and momentum—ideal candidates for further analysis.
6. Two Clear Tables:
a. Relative Strength Rank Table: Displays weekly rankings of relative strength for each symbol.
b. Momentum Table: Shows momentum trends, helping you identify which symbols are gaining or losing strength.
7. Color-Coded for Easy Analysis: The tables are color-coded to make analysis quick and straightforward. A green color means the symbol is performing well in terms of relative strength or momentum, while red indicates weaker performance. Aqua marks symbols that are excelling in both areas.
Use Case:
a. Sector Comparison: Identify which sectors or indexes are showing both relative strength and momentum to pick high-potential stocks. This allows you to align with broader market trends for improved trade entries.
b. Stock Selection: Quickly compare symbols within the same sector to find the stronger performers.

ADX Momentum Shaded CandlesDescription:
The "ADX Momentum Shaded Candles" indicator (ADXMSC) is an overlay indicator that enhances candlestick charts by adding shading based on the momentum derived from the Average Directional Index (ADX). This indicator provides visual cues about the strength of bullish and bearish momentum by adjusting the transparency of the candlesticks.
How it Works:
The indicator utilizes the ADX indicator to calculate the values of +DI (Directional Indicator Plus) and -DI (Directional Indicator Minus) based on user-defined parameters. It then determines the transparency levels for the bullish and bearish candlesticks based on the calculated values of +DI and -DI. Higher values of +DI or -DI result in lower transparency levels, while lower values increase transparency.
Transparency Calculation:
The transparency of the bullish and bearish candlesticks is adjusted based on the values of +DI and -DI, which reflect the momentum of the price movement. Transparency is inversely proportional to these values, with higher values resulting in lower transparency. To calculate transparency, the indicator uses the formula 100 minus the value of +DI or -DI multiplied by 2. This ensures that higher values of +DI or -DI produce more opaque candlesticks.
Usage:
To effectively use the "ADX Momentum Shaded Candles" indicator (ADXMSC), follow these steps:
1. Apply the indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Observe the candlesticks on the chart:
- Bullish candlesticks are represented by the original bullish color with adjusted transparency.
- Bearish candlesticks are represented by the original bearish color with adjusted transparency.
3. Analyze the transparency levels of the candlesticks to assess the strength of bullish and bearish momentum. Less transparent candlesticks indicate stronger momentum, while more transparent ones suggest weaker momentum.
4. Combine the visual information from the shaded candlesticks with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trend lines, or oscillators, to confirm potential trade opportunities.
5. Customize the indicator's parameters, such as the ADX length and smoothing, to suit your trading preferences.
6. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.

Overview
Dynamo is built to be the Swiss-knife for price-movement & strength detection, it aims to provide a holistic view of the current price across multiple dimensions. This is achieved by combining 3 very specific indicators(RSI, Stochastic & ADX) into a single view. Each of which serve a different purpose, and collectively provide a simple, yet powerful tool to gauge the true nature of price-action.
Background
Dynamo uses 3 technical analysis tools in conjunction to provide better insights into price movement, they are briefly explained below:
Relative Strength Index(RSI)
RSI is a popular indicator that is often used to measure the velocity of price change & the intensity of directional moves. RSI computes the relative strength of the current price by comparing the security’s bullish strength versus bearish strength for a given period, i.e. by comparing average gain to average loss.
It is a range bound(0-100) variable that generates a bullish reading if average gain is higher, and a bullish reading if average loss is higher. Values over 50 are generally considered bullish & values less than 50 indicate a bearish market. Values over 70 indicate an overbought condition, and values below 30 indicate oversold condition.
Stochastic
Stochastic is an indicator that aims to measure the momentum in the market, by comparing most recent closing price of the security to its price range for a given period. It is based on the assumption that price tends to close near the recent high in an up trend, and it closes near the recent low during a down trend.
It is also range bound(0-100), values over 80 indicate overbought condition and values below 20 indicate oversold condition.
Average Directional Index(ADX)
ADX is an indicator that can quantify trend strength, it is derived from two underlying indices, known as Directional Movement Index(DMI). +DMI represents strength of the up trend, and -DMI represents strength of the down trend, and ADX is the average of the two.
ADX is non-directional or trend-neutral, which means, it does not follow the direction of the price, instead ADX will rise only when there is a strong trend, it does not matter if it’s an up trend or a down trend. Typical ranges of ADX are 25-50 for a strong trend, anything below 25 is considered as no trend or weak trend. ADX can frequently shoot upto higher values, but it generally finds exhaustion levels around the 60-75 range.
About the script
All these indicators are very powerful tools, but just like any other indicator they have their limitations. Stochastic & ADX can generate false signals in volatile markets, meaning price wouldn’t always follow through with what’s being indicated. ADX may even fail to generate a signal in less volatile markets, simply because it is based on moving averages, it tends to react slower to price changes. RSI can also lose it’s effectiveness when markets are trending strong, as it can stay in the overbought or oversold ranges for an extended period of time.
Dynamo aims to provide the trader with a much broader perspective by bringing together these contrasting indicators into a single simplified view. When Stochastic becomes less reliable in highly volatile conditions, one can cross validate their deduction by looking at RSI patterns. When RSI gets stuck in overbought or oversold range, one can refer to ADX to get better picture about the current trend. Similarly, various combinations of rules & setups can be formulated to get a more deterministic view, when working with either of these indicators.
There many possible use cases for a tool like this, and it totally depends on how you want to use it. An obvious option is to use it to trigger signals only after it has been confirmed by two or more indicators, for example, RSI & Stochastic make a great combination for cross-over or cross-under strategies. Some of the other options include trend detection, strength detection, reversals or price rejection points, possible duration of a trend, and all of these can very easily be translated into effective entry and exit points for trades.
How to use it
Dynamo is an easy-to-use tool, just add it to your chart and you’re good to start with your market analysis. Output consists of three overlapping plots, each of which tackle price movement from a slightly different angle.
Stochastic: A momentum indicator that plots the current closing price in relation to the price-range over a given period of time.
Can be used to detect the direction of the price movement, potential reversals, or duration of an up/down move.
Plotted as grey coloured histograms in the background.
Relative Strength Index(RSI): RSI is also a momentum indicator that measures the velocity with which the price changes.
Can be used to detect the speed of the price movement, RSI divergences can be a nice way to detect directional changes.
Plotted as an aqua coloured line.
Average Directional Index(ADX): ADX is an indicator that is used to measure the strength of the current trend.
Can be used to measure how strong the price movement is, both up and down, or to establish long terms trends.
Plotted as an orange coloured line.
Features
Provides a well-rounded view of the market movement by amalgamating some of the best strength indicators, helping traders make better informed decisions with minimal effort.
Simplistic plots that aim to convey clean signals, as a result, reducing clutter on the chart, and hopefully in the trader's head too.
Combines different types of indicators into a single view, which leads to an optimised use of the precious screen real-estate.
Final Note
Dynamo is designed to be minimalistic in functionality and in appearance, as it is being built to be a general purpose tool that is not only beginner friendly, but can also be highly-configurable to meet the needs of pro traders.
Thresholds & default values for the indicators are only suggestions based on industry standards, they may not be an exact match for all markets & conditions. Hence, it is advisable for the user to test & adjust these values according their securities and trading styles.
The chart highlights one of many possible setups using this tool, and it can used to create various types of setups & strategies, but it is also worth noting that the usability & the effectiveness of this tool also depends on the user’s understanding & interpretation of the underlying indicators.
Lastly, this tool is only an indicator and should only be perceived that way. It does not guarantee anything, and the user should do their own research before committing to trades based on any indicator.
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***

Trend & Momentum V2Declutter your charts. Simple indicator combining trend and momentum using Moving Average (currently default to 9-day EMA) and RSI (default length of 8). A long signal is generated when the price closes above the moving average and the moving average color turns red to green which indicated that the momentum measured using RSI is greater than 50. A short signal is generated when the price closes below the moving average and the moving average color turns green to red indicating RSI is below 50. Confirmation is done if there is no reversal on the next candle. For best results use multiple timeframe charts to trade on the right side of trend and momentum.
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.
