Momentum Tendency indicator

Description

This indicator measures the price tendency in a correlated dependency with the logarithmic detrended momentum of price and detrended price.

Use the long zone when the indicator value is +3 and the short zone when the indicator value is -3.

Use stars to identify the opposite overstretch of the price (oversold/overbought) in correlation with the trading zone.
