Download script
This tool is designed as a visual momentum and volatility tracker for trading platforms. It analyzes price action to help traders identify different "quality" levels of market movement by categorizing current market activity into three distinct categories.
Core Logic and Functionality
The script works by calculating the statistical deviation of the market price over a specific moving average period. Instead of just showing a single line, it evaluates these fluctuations and sorts them into three visual categories represented by different colors:
- High-Quality Momentum (Lime Green): This category identifies periods where volatility exceeds a user-defined high threshold. It highlights strong, significant movements in the market.
- Neutral/Average Activity (Yellow): This represents "middle-ground" market behavior. When the market is moving but doesn't meet the intensity of the high threshold or fall into the low category, it is classified as "SoSo" activity.
- Low/Weak Momentum (FireBrick): This identifies periods where volatility falls below a specific low level, highlighting sluggish or stagnant price action.
Visual Features
To make the data easier to interpret, the tool includes several visual aids:
- Histogram Display: The data is displayed in a separate window as a histogram, making it easy to see at a glance which "zone" the market currently occupies.
- Reference Levels: The script can draw horizontal dashed lines on the indicator window. These serve as visual benchmarks, allowing traders to see exactly how close the current price action is to crossing into a different category of momentum.
- Customizable Sensitivity: Users can adjust several parameters, including the look-back period (how much historical data to consider), the specific thresholds for "High" and "Low" activity, and the spacing of the visual reference lines.
Alert System
For active traders, the script includes an optional notification system. If the market crosses above a specific intensity threshold on a designated timeframe, the software can trigger an audible sound and a pop-up alert. This is intended to capture the user's attention the moment the market shifts into a high-volatility state.
