EurUsd Momentum Heiken Ashi
Jul 20, 2015

The EurUsd Momentum Heiken Ashi indicator is a momentum oscillator designed to measure the slope between candle open and close prices, providing a visual representation of price velocity and direction. While optimized for higher timeframes like Monthly and Weekly charts, it aims to clarify entry signals by smoothing price action, especially when used in conjunction with Heiken Ashi candles.
Usage
The Usage section focuses on identifying trend shifts and potential entry points based on the relationship between the calculated slope (Theta) and the zero line.
- Bullish Entries: Traders look for a higher low to form in price action, followed by an entry when the indicator value is greater than or equal to 0.
- Bearish Entries: Traders look for a lower high to form in price action, followed by an entry when the indicator value is less than or equal to 0.
- Heiken Ashi Integration: The tool is designed to complement Heiken Ashi candles. It provides a more objective visual cue than simply observing candle color, helping to filter out market noise.
- Technical Analysis: For best results, users should combine the indicator signals with support and resistance zones, or trend-line patterns such as channels and pennants.
Details
The script calculates the momentum by determining the arcsine of the difference between the current candle's closing and opening prices (math.asin(close - open)). This mathematical approach represents the "Theta" or the angle of the price movement within a specific period. By mapping this slope to an oscillator format, the script allows traders to visualize whether the price momentum is accelerating or decelerating relative to the zero line.
Settings
- Zero Line: A horizontal reference point at 0 used to determine the bias of the momentum.
- Theta: The main plot representing the calculated slope/momentum of the price action.
FAQ
How do I use the zero line for signals?
The zero line acts as a threshold for momentum. A crossover above zero suggests bullish momentum is gaining strength, while a crossunder below zero suggests bearish momentum is taking over.
Which timeframes are most effective?
While the script can be applied to any timeframe, it is specifically designed for Monthly and Weekly charts to capture significant trend shifts in the EURUSD pair.
