WHAT IT DOES

Core Features

A clean momentum oscillator with instant-read labels and an early warning system for momentum direction changes.

Color-Coded Momentum Oscillator

The momentum line paints green when above the zero line (bullish) and red when below (bearish). This gives you an immediate visual read on momentum direction without having to interpret raw values.

Bullish & Bearish Labels

A label on the right side updates in real time to show whether momentum is bullish or bearish, changing color to green or red. This was built specifically so you can glance at the label and understand momentum’s direction without analyzing the indicator data.

Momentum Direction Change Warning

A second purple label appears when momentum is starting to change direction, even before it crosses the zero line. When momentum is above zero (bullish) but trending downward, the purple label warns you that momentum is weakening. When momentum is below zero (bearish) but trending upward, it warns you that selling pressure is fading. This gives you an early heads-up before a full trend change.

Label Toggle

The labels can be turned on or off in the settings for better viewing on the mobile app or if you prefer a cleaner display.

INTERPRETATION GUIDE

How to Read the Indicator

Label Colors

Trading With the Labels

Use the green and red labels as your primary trend direction. When momentum is green, look for entries in the bullish direction. When red, look for entries in the bearish direction. When the purple label appears, it’s a signal to pay attention, momentum is starting to shift. Tighten stops or prepare for a potential reversal, but don’t exit until the main label changes color.

GOOD TO KNOW

Important Notes & Limitations

The purple warning label means momentum direction is changing, not that the trend has reversed. Do not exit positions solely on the purple label. Wait for the main label to change color for confirmation.
This is a standalone momentum oscillator. For a more comprehensive momentum view, pair it with the MFI + RSI + Momentum Trend Label or the Momentum Scalping & Swing Signals indicator.
