Druckenmiller 2nd Order ROC [Acceleration]How to Read It (The User Guide)
This indicator doesn't just tell you if the price is going up or down; it tells you if the energy behind the move is growing or dying.
1. The Zero Line (The "Engine Check")
Think of the Zero Line as the difference between a car accelerating and coasting.
Crossing Above 0: The engine just kicked in. Buyers are stepping on the gas. Even if the candle is red, the internal momentum has turned bullish.
Action: Look for Longs.
Crossing Below 0: The engine is off. The car might still be rolling forward (price going up), but it's slowing down.
Action: Tighten Stops / Look for Shorts.
2. The Colors (The "Phase" Check)
🟢 Bright Green (Positive Acceleration):
Meaning: Price is moving up faster than before.
Action: Hold. This is the strongest part of the trend.
🟢 Faded Green (Positive Deceleration):
Meaning: Price is still moving up, but the "pop" is gone. It's struggling.
Action: Caution. Watch for a top.
🔴 Bright Red (Negative Acceleration):
Meaning: Panic. Price is crashing faster every candle.
Action: Hold Short / Stay Out.
🔴 Faded Red (Negative Deceleration):
Meaning: The selling is drying up. The crash is slowing down.
Action: Watch for a Bounce.
3. The "Druckenmiller Divergence" (The Money Shot)
This is the setup Stan Druckenmiller looks for—when the indicator disagrees with the price.
Bullish Reversal: Price makes a Lower Low (looks bad), BUT the Indicator makes a Higher Low (less red).
Translation: Sellers are exhausted. A rip your face off rally is imminent.
Bearish Reversal: Price makes a Higher High (looks good), BUT the Indicator makes a Lower High (less green).
Translation: Buyers are exhausted. The trend is hollow and about to collapse.
Pro Tip: Use this on Weekly or Monthly charts to find major market turns, just like Druckenmiller does. On 5-minute charts, it will be noisy.
