Momentum Average Levels indicator

Warning! This section will be deprecated on February 1st 2025. Please move all your Indicators to the cTrader Store catalogue.

An update for this algorithm is currently pending moderation. Please revisit this page shortly to access the algorithm's latest version.

Description

The Momentum indicator is calculated as a ratio of current price to the price from several n periods ago.

As a market peaks, the Momentum indicator climbs sharply and then falls off diverging from the continued upward or sideways movement of the price. Similarly, at a market bottom, Momentum drops sharply and then begins to climb well ahead of prices. Both of these situations result in divergences between the indicator and prices.

In this version, since the indicator components have two levels, it shows the advancing sentiment of momentum within a number of Levels periods.
