Momentum Zones [TradersPro]

OVERVIEW

The Momentum Zones indicator is designed for momentum stock traders to provide a visible trend structure with actionable price levels. The indicator has been designed for high-growth, bullish stocks on a daily time frame but can be used on any chart and timeframe.

Momentum zones help traders focus on the momentum structure of price, enabling disciplined trading plans with specific entry, exit, and risk management levels.

It is built using CCI values, allowing for fixed trend range calculations. It is most effective when applied to screens of stocks with high RSI, year-to-date (YTD) price gains of 25% or higher, as well as stocks showing growth in both sales and earnings quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.

CONCEPTS

The indicator defines and colors uptrends (green), downtrends (red), and trends in transition or pausing (yellow).

The indicator can be used for new trend entry or trend continuation entry. New trend entry can be done on the first green bar after a red bar. Trend continuation entries can be done with the first green bar after a yellow bar. The yellow transition zones can be used as price buffers for stop-loss management on new entries.

To see the color changes, users need to be sure to uncheck the candlestick color settings. This can be done by right-clicking the chart, going to Symbols, and unchecking the candle color body, border, and wick boxes.

Remember to check them if the indicator is turned off, or the candles will be blank with no color.

The settings also correspond to the screening function to get a list of stocks entering various momentum zones so you can have a prime list of the stocks meeting any other fundamental criteria you may desire. Traders can then use the indicator for the entry and risk structure of the trading plan.
