MATC Residence Momentum Zones

The MATC Residence Momentum Zones indicator maps market structure through dynamic support and resistance levels while utilizing statistical filters and forward projections to identify trend regimes. It provides a visual framework for understanding price expansion and structural transitions, helping traders distinguish between bullish and bearish market phases.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on interpreting the dynamic boundaries and signal logic of the system:

• Trend Identification: The indicator defines a bullish regime when the price breaks above the resistance structure and a bearish regime when it breaks below the support structure. These transitions are marked with "BUY" and "SELL" labels on the chart.
• Structural Boundaries: Use the upper green line (resistance) and lower red line (support) to identify the range of price action. The blue midline serves as an equilibrium point or neutral reference area.
• Forward Projections: The tool projects current levels forward by a set number of bars. The shaded areas between the current structure and the projected lines represent potential continuation zones or directional bias based on recent price history.
• Filtering: To improve signal accuracy, the script includes a statistical filtering suite. By enabling these, signals will only trigger if specific volatility (ATR), volume, and momentum (Z-Score) conditions are met.

Details

The MATC Residence Momentum Zones script utilizes a mirrored price-averaging technique to establish its boundaries. It calculates an upper and lower band based on a percentage of the median price (HL2), which is then smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

The core logic incorporates a "Mirror Strength" multiplier, which adjusts how far the structural levels sit from the median price, effectively creating a volatility-adjusted corridor. To prevent false breakouts, the script uses a "Break Buffer %," requiring the price to close a specific distance beyond the structure before a regime change is confirmed. The statistical filtering mechanism uses ranking functions to determine if the current ATR and volume are in the upper percentiles of their recent lookback period, ensuring signals occur during periods of sufficient market activity.

Settings

Core Settings

• Band Percent: Adjusts the initial percentage width of the structural bands.
• Smoothing Length: Sets the EMA period used to smooth the resistance and support lines.
• Projection Bars: Determines how many bars into the future the structural levels are projected.
• Mirror Strength: A multiplier that expands or contracts the distance between the midline and the outer structural zones.
• Break Buffer %: Defines the percentage threshold price must cross beyond a zone to trigger a signal.

Statistical Filters

• Use Statistical Filters: Master toggle to enable or disable the filtering suite.
• ATR Percentile Filter: When enabled, signals only trigger if the ATR rank is above the "Min ATR Percentile" value.
• Volume Percentile Filter: When enabled, signals only trigger if the volume rank is above the "Min Volume Percentile" value.
• Momentum Z-Score Filter: Uses a Z-Score calculation of the Rate of Change (ROC) to ensure signals are backed by significant momentum.

FAQ

How do I interpret the colored fill between the current and future lines? The filled area represents a visual extension of the current trend regime. It is a projection of where the structural boundaries would be if current conditions persist, helping to visualize potential expansion zones.

Why did price cross a level without triggering a signal? If statistical filters are enabled, a price break alone is not enough to trigger a signal. The move must also be supported by sufficient volume, volatility (ATR), or momentum Z-Score as defined in the settings.
