Momentum nodes

21 Momentum building blocks in the Algovex node library. Each is a node you can drop on the visual canvas, connect into a strategy, backtest and export. No code required.

  • A/D Line

    Accumulation/Distribution Line — cumulative volume-based indicator measuring money flow. Rising A/D Line with rising price confirms accumulation; falling A/D Line with rising price warns of distribution. Use as a trend confirmation filter or divergence detector.

  • ADX

    Average Directional Index measuring trend strength on a 0-100 scale regardless of direction. ADX above 25 indicates a trending market; below 20 indicates range-bound conditions. Use as a regime filter to activate trend-following strategies in strong trends and mean-reversion strategies in ranges.

  • Aroon

    Aroon indicator measuring how many periods since the highest high (Aroon Up) and lowest low (Aroon Down), scaled 0-100. Aroon Up near 100 means a recent new high; crossovers signal trend changes. Use as an early trend-detection filter or to confirm breakouts when Aroon Up/Down diverge strongly.

  • Balance of Power

    BOP = (Close-Open)/(High-Low) smoothed with SMA. Measures the strength of buyers vs sellers, ranging roughly -1 to +1. Optional signal line for crossover triggers.

  • Choppiness Index

    Measures whether the market is choppy (range-bound) or trending. Ranges 0-100 with configurable thresholds.

  • DMI

    Directional Movement Index with +DI/-DI lines and DX strength. Detects trend direction via DI crossovers and trend strength via DX threshold.

  • Dynamic Momentum Index

    RSI with a dynamically adjusted period based on recent volatility — more volatile markets get shorter lookback for faster response.

  • Fisher Transform

    Ehlers' Fisher Transform normalizes price into a Gaussian distribution, creating sharp turning points. Signal line is the previous bar's Fisher value.

  • Ichimoku Cloud

    Complete Ichimoku Cloud trading system providing trend direction (Tenkan/Kijun cross), support/resistance (Senkou A/B cloud), and momentum confirmation (Chikou Span). Price above cloud is bullish; below is bearish. Use as an all-in-one trend framework for directional bias and entry timing.

  • KST (Know Sure Thing)

    Martin Pring's summed rate of change oscillator. Combines four smoothed ROC values with ascending weights to identify major trend reversals. Signal line crossovers and zero-line crosses confirm momentum shifts.

  • Momentum Divergence

    RSI-based divergence detector comparing price swing highs/lows with RSI to identify regular and hidden divergences signaling potential reversals.

  • Parabolic SAR

    Wilder's Parabolic Stop and Reverse placing trailing dots above price in downtrends and below in uptrends, accelerating as the trend progresses. A flip from above to below signals a bullish reversal, and vice versa. Use as a trailing stop mechanism or trend-flip entry trigger.

  • Price Oscillator

    Percentage Price Oscillator — shows the percentage difference between fast and slow EMAs. Includes signal line (EMA of PO) and histogram (PO minus signal). Similar to MACD in percentage form.

  • QQE

    Qualitative Quantitative Estimation — RSI smoothed by EMA with dynamic trailing bands derived from ATR-like smoothing. QQE line crossing zero or trailing level signals trend shifts.

  • RMI

    Relative Momentum Index — RSI variant that compares close[i] vs close[i - momentumPeriod] instead of close[i] vs close[i-1]. Smoother than RSI, ranges 0-100.

  • Supertrend

    ATR-based trend-following indicator that flips between support (below price in uptrend) and resistance (above price in downtrend). The flip point serves as both a trend signal and trailing stop level. Use as a trend filter or trailing stop for position management in trending markets.

  • TRIX Histogram

    TRIX = rate of change of a triple-smoothed EMA. Filters noise effectively. Signal line crossover and zero-line cross for trend confirmation.

  • TTM Squeeze

    John Carter's TTM Squeeze — detects low volatility compression (Bollinger inside Keltner). Squeeze fires when bands expand. Momentum histogram shows breakout direction.

  • Vortex Indicator

    Vortex Indicator measuring positive (VI+) and negative (VI-) trend movement using true range ratios. VI+ crossing above VI- signals bullish trend; the reverse signals bearish. Use as a trend direction filter or crossover entry trigger, especially effective for detecting trend changes early.

  • WaveTrend

    LazyBear WaveTrend oscillator — WT1/WT2 crossover system with overbought/oversold zones. WT1 crossing above WT2 in oversold territory is a strong buy signal; crossing below in overbought territory is a strong sell signal.

  • Williams MFI

    Bill Williams' Market Facilitation Index -- (high-low)/volume. Classifies bars as Green (both up), Fade (both down), Fake (MFI up, vol down), Squat (MFI down, vol up).
