Momentum Terrain 3D
By LuxAlgoApr 17, 2026
Momentum Terrain 3D is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
The Momentum Terrain 3D turns a single-line oscillator into a landscape of market momentum. It computes RSI across a whole range of lookback lengths and projects the results as a 3D terrain: time runs along the width with the current bar at the right, lookback depth spans fast settings at the front to slow ones at the back, and RSI value becomes height, with a semi-transparent neutral plane at 50 dividing bullish ground from bearish.
How to Trade the Momentum Terrain 3D?
- Whole terrain rising: fast and slow momentum aligned bullish, continuation context.
- Surface falling across layers: broad bearish alignment; a warning against fighting the move.
- Elevated back, dipping front: a pullback inside a bullish structure rather than a full reversal, one of the terrain's most useful tells.
- Flat terrain near the neutral plane: momentum compression and indecision; expect ranging conditions until the surface regains slope.
- Red pillars (RSI above 70) / cyan pillars (below 30): extremes as context: repeated pillars can confirm trend persistence, while extremes over a flattening terrain hint at exhaustion.
Momentum Terrain 3D Settings
- Time History (Width) / Lookback Layers (Depth): how many bars and how many RSI lengths build the surface.
- Minimum/Maximum Lookback: the RSI range spanning the terrain's front and back edges.
- Terrain Smoothing: exponential smoothing that turns spiky raw values into a readable surface.
- Yaw/Pitch, Scale X/Y/Z, Offset X/Y: camera rotation, proportions, and placement of the projection.
- Style toggles cover wireframe/surface display, OB/OS pillars, the current price marker, and the neutral plane color.
