Momentum Cycle Sentry

The Momentum Cycle Sentry renders momentum as something you can watch breathe: a mirrored oscillator plotted symmetrically around a zero line, built from three nested layers of EMA smoothing, whose cloud width expands as a move gains velocity and contracts as participation fades. Color carries the bias (teal for bullish conditions, coral for bearish) while adaptive volatility corridors replace the fixed thresholds of classic oscillators.

How to Trade the Momentum Cycle Sentry?

• Expanding teal cloud: bullish momentum accelerating, trend-continuation conditions.
• Expanding coral cloud: the bearish equivalent.
• Narrowing cloud: weakening momentum or pre-breakout compression.
• Neon Path glow: when momentum cools against the trend, the candles dim and a dotted trace follows the pullback along the curve and its mirror, with X markers on the zero line anchoring its duration. Watch for re-expansion near equilibrium to rejoin the trend.
• Dynamic OB/OS corridors: standard-deviation zones flag statistically stretched conditions; curvature back toward zero from inside them is the mean-reversion cue.

Momentum Cycle Sentry Settings

• Base Length: lookback of the momentum engine: shorter is faster, longer smooths toward macro cycles.
• Smoothing: EMA smoothing intensity across the layered structure.
• Magnitude: scales the oscillator's height for chart visibility.
• Retracement Sensitivity: how aggressively cooling cycles are detected.
• OB/OS Lookback / Inner Multiplier / Outer Multiplier: the volatility window and the two corridor boundaries.
• Style options cover bullish/bearish colors, base transparency, and candle coloring synced to the oscillator.
