Adaptive Momentum Oscillator

Adaptive Momentum Oscillator turns raw momentum into a histogram you can read at a glance. It gauges the maximum price delta over the chosen period, smooths the series with an adaptive moving average selected for minimal lag, and paints the result as a gradient-colored histogram around zero: above it buyers are pressing, below it sellers are. The plot is unbounded, with no preset ceilings (recent prints set the scale for what counts as stretched), and a signal line rides the histogram to time the shifts.

How to Trade the Adaptive Momentum Oscillator?

• Signal Line through 0: the crossover marks the handover to positive or negative momentum, the primary regime cue.
• Momentum crossing the Signal Line: acceleration when it crosses up, deceleration when it crosses down, useful for timing within an established move.
• Divergences: disabled by default; enable the detector and tune its length. Shorter catches frequent small turns, longer isolates the broader reversals.

The Data Length input swings the whole read between short-term and long-term market strength, so one pane serves scalp timing and position context alike. Under the hood, an adaptive smoothing technique keeps the histogram responsive without the jitter a raw delta series would show.

Adaptive Momentum Oscillator Settings

• Data (default closing price): source series for the calculation.
• Data Length: the gathering period, the horizon momentum is measured over.
• Smoothing Length: how heavily the momentum data is smoothed; more length means a cleaner but slower line.
• Divergences: toggle detection and set the divergence length.
