Velocity, Momentum & ROC Indicators for Metatrader 4
Example: Momentum shown on a ProRealTime Chart
As Velocity and Momentum Indicators belongs to same family indicators so going to combined these and posting in one common thread
Some description and explanations by MLADEN,what are these about and how they work/perform.
Momentum (MTM) and rate of change (ROC) are simple technical analysis indicators showing the difference between today's closing price and the close N days ago. Momentum is the absolute difference in stock, commodity:
Rate of change scales by the old close, so as to represent the increase as a fraction,
"Momentum" in general refers to prices continuing to trend. The momentum and ROC indicators show trend by remaining positive while an uptrend is sustained, or negative while a downtrend is sustained.
A crossing up through zero may be used as a signal to buy, or a crossing down through zero as a signal to sell. How high (or how low when negative) the indicators get shows how strong the trend is.
The way momentum shows an absolute change means it shows for instance a $3 rise over 20 days, whereas ROC might show that as 0.25 for a 25% rise over the same period. One can choose between looking at a move in dollar terms, relative point terms, or proportional terms. The zero crossings are the same in each, of course, but the highs or lows showing strength are on the respective different bases.
The conventional interpretation is to use momentum as a trend-following indicator. This means that when the indicator peaks and begins to descend, it can be considered a sell signal. The opposite conditions can be interpreted when the indicator bottoms out and begins to rise. Momentum signals (e.g., 52-week high) have been shown to be used by financial analysts in their buy and sell recommendations.
velocity 2 + mtf & alerts nmc
The version Velocity 2 mtf alerts with color changes on slope change and alerts on slope change - mtf too and usual prices
