Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts1. Overview
The Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts indicator combines two proven techniques to help you anticipate major price swings and spot volatility compressions (long/short squeezes) early on. It offers:
Automated Alerts via TradingView’s alert engine
On-chart Visual Cues for immediate context
Flexible Inputs to fine-tune sensitivity, lookback length, and display options
2. TTM Squeeze (Volatility Compression)
Core Concept: Compares Bollinger Bands (standard deviation channels) with Keltner Channels (ATR-based channels).
Squeeze On: BBs lie completely inside Keltner Channels → volatility is compressed, signaling a potential buildup.
Squeeze Off: BBs break outside Keltner Channels → typically the start of a strong directional move.
Alert: When the squeeze releases, the indicator fires an alert:
💥 Squeeze Release – Volatility incoming!
Chart Label: A small, purple “🔒 Squeeze” label appears above the high of each bar while compression persists, giving you a real-time visual flag.
3. ATR Breakouts (Detecting Large Moves)
Core Concept: Builds a dynamic price channel around an EMA using ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your chosen factor.
Cross Events:
Price crosses above the upper ATR band → potential bullish breakout.
Price crosses below the lower ATR band → potential bearish breakdown.
Alert Conditions: Separate alert triggers for “🚀 Move Up” and “📉 Move Down” fire the moment the close breaches the ATR-based bounds.
4. Visualization & Usage
Channel Plots:
Bollinger Bands in blue
Keltner Channels in orange
ATR Channels in aqua (optional)
Toggle all channel plots on or off with the showZones input.
Background Highlight: During a squeeze, the chart background lightly tints purple for quick visual confirmation.
Alerts Setup:
Simply click Create Alert in TradingView, select this indicator, and choose the event(s) you want (squeeze release, ATR breakouts).
You can route notifications via email, webhook, SMS, or platform pop-ups.
5. Deployment & Customization
Timeframes: Effective across all timeframes; most popular for day- and swing-trading.
Parameter Tuning:
Increase the len value to smooth channels and focus on only the most significant compressions/moves.
Adjust the ATR or BB multipliers to make alerts more or less sensitive.
With this indicator, you gain a clear, actionable framework for spotting both volatility squeezes and breakouts before they unfold—empowering you to enter trades ahead of the crowd. Enjoy customizing and putting it to work!

🔷 How to Use Squeeze Momentum Pro
🔍 Identifying Trends
Squeeze Momentum Pro supports two different methods for identifying the trend visually, each based on a distinct logic:
Squeeze Momentum Trend (LazyBear-style):
Displays 3 states based on the position of the Bollinger Bands relative to the Keltner Channel:
🔵 Blue = No Squeeze (BB outside KC and KC outside BB)
⚪️ White = Squeeze Active (BB fully inside KC)
⚫️ Gray = Neutral state (none of the above)
TTM Squeeze Trend (John Carter-style):
Calculates the difference in width between the Bollinger Bands and the Keltner Channel:
🟩 Green = BB width is greater than KC → potential expansion phase
🟥 Red = BB are tighter than KC → possible compression or pre-breakout
📈 Interpreting Signals
Depending on the active configuration, the indicator can provide various signals, including:
Trend color → Reflects the current compression/expansion state (based on selected mode)
Momentum value (above or below 0) → May indicate directional pressure
Signal Line cross → Can highlight momentum shifts
Color change in the momentum → May suggest a potential trend reversal
🛠 Integration with Other Tools
Squeeze Momentum Pro works well alongside other indicators to strengthen market context:
✅ Volume Profile / OBV – Helps confirm accumulation or distribution during squeezes
✅ RSI – Useful to detect divergence between momentum and price
✅ Moving Averages – Ideal for defining primary trend direction and filtering signals

Borrow Fee & Squeeze TrackerSqueeze tracker.
This script helps identify potential short squeeze setups by detecting two key indicators: unusual volume and significant price changes.
The script combines both volume and price changes to give a more reliable indication of potential squeeze opportunities. When both criteria are met, it signals that there may be unusual market activity. The script also allows you to set up automatic alerts when both the volume and price change exceed thresholds, so you can react quickly to potential opportunities without constantly monitoring the charts.
Once added, you can set an alert:
Click on the Alert button
In the "Condition" dropdown, select the Squeeze Alert that was created.
Set the alert options
Now, when the script detects both a volume spike and a price change spike, it will trigger an alert based on your settings.
Enjoy!
Squeeze Momentum Indicator Strategy [LazyBear + PineIndicators]The Squeeze Momentum Indicator Strategy (SQZMOM_LB Strategy) is an automated trading strategy based on the Squeeze Momentum Indicator developed by LazyBear, which itself is a modification of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" concept from his book Mastering the Trade (Chapter 11). This strategy is designed to identify low-volatility phases in the market, which often precede explosive price movements, and to enter trades in the direction of the prevailing momentum.
Concept & Indicator Breakdown
The strategy employs a combination of Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to detect market squeezes:
Squeeze Condition:
When Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels (Black Crosses), volatility is low, signaling a potential upcoming price breakout.
When Bollinger Bands move outside Keltner Channels (Gray Crosses), the squeeze is released, indicating an expansion in volatility.
Momentum Calculation:
A linear regression-based momentum value is used instead of traditional momentum indicators.
The momentum histogram is color-coded to show strength and direction:
Lime/Green: Increasing bullish momentum
Red/Maroon: Increasing bearish momentum
Signal Colors:
Black: Market is in a squeeze (low volatility).
Gray: Squeeze is released, and volatility is expanding.
Blue: No squeeze condition is present.
Strategy Logic
The script uses historical volatility conditions and momentum trends to generate buy/sell signals and manage positions.
1. Entry Conditions
Long Position (Buy)
The squeeze just released (Gray Cross after Black Cross).
The momentum value is increasing and positive.
The momentum is at a local low compared to the past 100 bars.
The price is above the 100-period EMA.
The closing price is higher than the previous close.
Short Position (Sell)
The squeeze just released (Gray Cross after Black Cross).
The momentum value is decreasing and negative.
The momentum is at a local high compared to the past 100 bars.
The price is below the 100-period EMA.
The closing price is lower than the previous close.
2. Exit Conditions
Long Exit:
The momentum value starts decreasing (momentum lower than previous bar).
Short Exit:
The momentum value starts increasing (momentum higher than previous bar).
Position Sizing
Position size is dynamically adjusted based on 8% of strategy equity, divided by the current closing price, ensuring risk-adjusted trade sizes.
How to Use This Strategy
Apply on Suitable Markets:
Best for stocks, indices, and forex pairs with momentum-driven price action.
Works on multiple timeframes but is most effective on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily).
Confirm Entries with Additional Indicators:
The author recommends ADX or WaveTrend to refine entries and avoid false signals.
Risk Management:
Since the strategy dynamically sizes positions, it's advised to use stop-losses or risk-based exits to avoid excessive drawdowns.
Final Thoughts
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator Strategy provides a systematic approach to trading volatility expansions, leveraging the classic TTM Squeeze principles with a unique linear regression-based momentum calculation. Originally inspired by John Carter’s method, LazyBear's version and this strategy offer a refined, adaptable tool for traders looking to capitalize on market momentum shifts.

How It Works:
The Squeeze Momentum Oscillator by AlgoAlpha synergistically combines the principles of momentum tracking and market squeeze detection. By integrating the core logic of the Squeeze & Release indicator, it calculates the Squeeze Value (SV) through a comparison of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Average True Range (ATR) against the high-low price EMA. This SV is further analyzed alongside its EMA to pinpoint squeeze conditions, indicative of potential market breakouts or consolidations. In addition to this, the oscillator employs Hyper Squeeze Detection for identifying extremely low volatility. The momentum aspect of the oscillator evaluates the price movement relative to EMAs of significant highs and lows, refining these observations with a z-score normalization for short-term momentum insights. Moreover, the incorporation of divergence detection aids in identifying potential reversals, making this oscillator a comprehensive tool for traders looking to harness the power of volatility and momentum in their market analysis. The combination of the Squeeze & Release and the Momentum Oscillator allows traders to time their trades with more precision by entering when the market is in a squeeze and front running the volatility of a major move.
Elevate your trading strategy with the Squeeze Momentum Oscillator by AlgoAlpha and gain a competitive edge in deciphering market dynamics! 🌟💼 Happy trading!
Squeeze Momentum DeluxeThe Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive trading toolkit built with features of momentum, volatility, and price action. This script offers a suite for both mean reversion and trend-following analysis. Developed based on the original TTM Squeeze implementation by @LazyBear, this indicator introduces several innovative components to enhance your trading insights.
🔲 Components and Features
Momentum Oscillator - as rooted in the TTM Squeeze, quantifies the relationship between price and its extremes over a defined period. By normalizing the calculation, the values become comparable throughout time and across securities, allowing for a nuanced assessment of Bullish and Bearish momentum. Furthermore, by presenting it as a ribbon with a signal line we gain additional information about the direction of price swings.
Squeeze Bars - The original squeeze concept is based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel , once the BB resides inside the KC a squeeze occurs. By understanding their fundamentals a new form of calculation can be inferred.
method bb(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) => method kc(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma (src, len) float basis = ta.sma (src, len)
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len) float rng = ta.atr ( len)
float upper = basis + dev * mult float upper = basis + rng * mult
float lower = basis - dev * mult float lower = basis - rng * mult
Both BB and KC are constructed upon a moving average with the addition of Standard Deviation and Average True Range respectively. Therefore, the calculation can be transformed to when the Stdev is lower than the ATR a squeeze occurs.
method sqz(float src, simple int len) =>
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len)
float atr = ta.atr ( len)
dev < atr ? true : false
This indicator uses three different thresholds for the ATR to gain three levels of price "Squeeze" for further analysis.
Directional Flux- This component measures the overall direction of price volatility, offering insights into trend sentiment. Presented as waves in the background, it includes an OverFlux feature to signal extreme market bias in a particular direction which can signal either exhaustion or vital continuation. Additionally, the user can choose if to base the calculation on Heikin-Ashi Candles to bias the tool toward trend assessment.
Confluence Gauges - Placed at the top and bottom of the indicator, these gauges measure confluence in the relationship between the Momentum Oscillator and Directional Flux. They provide traders with an easily interpretable visual aid for detecting market sentiment. Reversal doritos displayed alongside them contribute to mean reversion analysis.
Divergences (Real-Time) - Equipped with a custom algorithm, the indicator detects real-time divergences between price and the oscillator. This dynamic feature enhances your ability to spot potential trend reversals as they occur.
🔲 Settings
Directional Flux Length - Adjusts the period of which the background volatility waves operate on.
Trend Bias - Bases the calculation of the Flux to HA candles to bias its behavior toward the trend of price action.
Squeeze Momentum Length - Calibrates the length of the main oscillator ribbon as well as the period for the squeeze algorithm.
Signal - Controls the width of the ribbon. Lower values result in faster responsiveness at the cost of premature positives.
Divergence Sensitivity - Adjusts a threshold to limit the amount of divergences detected based on strength. Higher values result in less detections, stronger structure.
🔲 Alerts

How to use it?
• Transition from Light Green to Dark Green: Indicates a potential end to the bullish momentum. This 'Bull Watch Out' signal suggests that traders should be cautious about continuing bullish trends.
• Transition from Light Red to Dark Red: Signals that the bearish momentum might be fading, triggering a 'Bear Watch Out' alert. It's a hint for traders to be wary of ongoing bearish trends.
• Shift from Dark Green to Light Green: This change suggests an increase in bullish momentum. It's an indicator for traders to consider bullish positions.
• Change from Dark Red to Light Red: Implies that bearish momentum is picking up. Traders might want to explore bearish strategies under this condition.
• Rapid Change from Light Red to Light Green: This swift shift indicates a quick transition from bearish to bullish sentiment. It's a strong signal for traders to consider switching to bullish positions.
• Quick Shift from Light Green to Light Red: Demonstrates a speedy change from bullish to bearish momentum. It suggests that traders might want to adjust their strategies to align with the emerging bearish trend.

Divergence RSI V2This indicator is based on the concept of divergence. I recommend that you find out and study about this yourself as the concept of divergence will not be explained in depth in this description.
This indicator will show divergences between the asset price and the RSI oscillator. The indicator will look for divergent points between the rising highs and falling lows of the asset; and the rising lows and falling highs of the RSI.
The trend of the asset tends to follow the behavior of the oscillator when a divergence occurs. So if we find a divergence between the two, the price of the asset is likely to follow the trend of the oscillator.
This indicator looks for these types of divergences and will show (based on the RSI) if there is a bullish or bearish divergence.
If it is bullish, it will show a line joining those points in green and if it is bearish in red. In addition, it will show a label where you can see the number of occurrences that have been found from a certain point to another.
Note: this indicator can be complemented with the “Divergence V2” indicator which is also found in my library.
Settings
Backtesting Bars : is the number of bars back that the indicator will check. No more than 1000 is recommended as this will slow down the search.
Tolerance: number of times a divergent line can cross a bar. If you place 0, no bar can be crossed by a diverging line.
Min Bars To detect: will only search for divergences (or lines) that have the minimum number of bars selected in this option. Default option is 30.
Min Bars To detect: it will only search for divergences (or lines) that have the maximum number of bars selected in this option. Default option is 100.
Source Highs: The high points will be based on the close of each bar. You can use as another alternative.
Source Lows: The low points will be based on the close of each bar. You can use as another alternative.
Use squeeze parameter: only look for divergences (bullish or bearish) at times when such an indicator is in favor of the trend or coincides with the corresponding RSI divergence.
Trend Momentum SynthesizerBy analyzing the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and Squeeze Momentum indicators, this indicator helps identify potential bullish, bearish, or undecided market conditions.
The algorithm within considers the positions of the MACD and Squeeze Momentum indicators to determine the overall market sentiment. When the indicators align and indicate a bullish market condition, the indicator's plot color will be either dark green, green, yellow, or lime, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, if the indicators align and indicate a bearish market condition, the plot color will be maroon or red, denoting a potential bearish trend. When the indicators are inconclusive, the plot color will be orange, suggesting an undecided market.
The ADX is an addon component of this indicator, helping to assess the strength of a trend. By analyzing the ADX, the indicator determines whether a trend is strong enough, providing additional confirmation for potential trade signals. The ADX smoothing and DI (Directional Index) length parameters can be customized to suit individual trading preferences.
By combining these indicators, the algorithm provides traders with a comprehensive view of the market, helping them make informed trading decisions. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential market opportunities and aligns with the objective of maximizing trading performance.
How to use the indicator:
Note: I used back-testing for fine tuning do not base your trades on signals from the testing framework.
Strategy Myth-Busting #11 - TrendMagic+SqzMom+CDV - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our 11th one is an automated version of the "Magic Trading Strategy : Most Profitable Indicator : 1 Minute Scalping Strategy Crypto" strategy from "Fx MENTOR US" who doesn't make any official claims but given the indicators he was using, it looked like on the surface that this might actually work. The strategy author uses this on the 1 minute and 3 minute timeframes on mostly FOREX and Heiken Ashi candles but as the title of his strategy indicates is designed for Crypto. So who knows..
To backtest this accurately and get a better picture we resolved the Heiken Ashi bars to standard candlesticks . Even so, I was unable to sustain any consistency in my results on either the 1 or 3 min time frames and both FOREX and Crypto. 10000% Busted.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
Trend Magic by KivancOzbilgic
Squeeze Momentum by LazyBear
Cumulative Delta Volume by LonesomeTheBlue
Trend Magic consists of two main indicators to validate momentum and volatility. It uses an ATR like a trailing Stop to determine the overarching momentum and CCI as a means to validate volatility. Together these are used as the primary indicator in this strategy. When the CCI is above 0 this is confirmation of a volatility event is occurring with affirmation based upon current momentum (ATR).
The CCI volatility indicator gets confirmation by the the Cumulative Delta Volume indicator which calculates the difference between buying and selling pressure. Volume Delta is calculated by taking the difference of the volume that traded at the offer price and the volume that traded at the bid price. The more volume that is traded at the bid price, the more likely there is momentum in the market.
And lastly the Squeeze Momentum indicator which uses a combination of Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels and Momentum are used to again confirm momentum and volatility. During periods of low volatility, Bollinger bands narrow and trade inside Keltner channels. They can only contract so much before it can’t contain the energy it’s been building. When the Bollinger bands come back out, it explodes higher. When we see the histogram bar exploding into green above 0 that is a clear confirmation of increased momentum and volatile. The opposite (red) below 0 is true when there are low periods. This indicator is used as a means to really determine when there is premium selling plays going on leading to big directional movements again confirming the positive or negative momentum and volatility direction.
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.

1st Gray Cross Signals ━ Histogram SQZMOM [whvntr][LazyBear]This is the Histogram Version of one of my other indicators named: SQZ Momentum + 1st Gray Cross Signals (with arrows) Which is a modification of "Squeeze Momentum Indicator" by user: "LazyBear". In that indicator of his he described, and suggested, the use of his gray cross signals to find points of interest for trading based on the direction of momentum when the first gray cross appears... I have programmed these points, and highlighted them, for ease of use. The 1st gray cross strategy, he said , is from John F. Carter's book, Chapter 11, "Mastering the Trade".
Here we have the Histogram version, with background highlights only, and nothing on the chart, in true SQZ Momentum style.

Squeeze Momentum MTF [LPWN]//ENGLISH
Squeeze momentum of lazy bear, multiple time frames, It gives you information if the cycles with high temporality momentums are in harmony, by default two more momentums are shown, I prefer to use only one extra, in the options you can change the time frame of the momentums, in addition to the momentums you can add the RSI and ADX, if the momentum look small, you can change the value of general scale to make them bigger, the table gives us information on how the momentums and the adx are, in the options you can set the candles to color according to the harmony of the momentums
// SPANISH
Squeeze momentum de lazy bear, multiple time frames, te da informacion si los ciclos con momentums de temporalidad alta estan en armonia,por defecto se muestran dos momentums mas, yo prefiero usar solo uno extra, en las opcoines puedes cambiar la temporalidad de los momentums, ademas de los momentums puedes agregar el RSI y el ADX, si el momentum se ve pequeño, puedes cambiar el valor de general scale para hacerlos mas grandes, la tabla nos da infomracion de como estan los momentums y el adx, en las opciones puedes poner que las velas se pongan del color de acuerdo a la armonia de los momentums
SQueezeVergenceThis is my SQueezeVergence indicator. It fires Buy and Sell signals based on squeeze momentum and trend. **It also creates Bull and Bear signals based on MACD divergence which should only be used as areas of support and resistance being as these signals repaint based on a 5 candle look back of pivots.** All settings are editable for better use. The default settings are what I use on the 1 Minute chart of ES to scalp. This is a simple indicator to help me get alerts on when I need to scalp. The divergence signals work well for areas of significance. I like to watch for breaks of these levels along with support and resistance. I hope this helps.
Strategy Myth-Busting #6 - PSAR+MA+SQZMOM+HVI - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our sixth one we are automating is " I Tested ''7% Profit Per Day" Scalping Strategy 100 Times ( Unexpected Results ) " from " TradeIQ " which claims to have made 175% profit on the 5 min chart of BTCUSD with a having a 61% win rate in just 32 days.
Originally, we mimicked verbatim the indicators and settings TradeIQ was using however weren't getting promising results anything close to the claim so we decided to try and improve on it. We changed the static Parabolic SAR to be adaptive based upon the timeframe. We did this by using an adjustable multiplier for the PSAR Max. Also, In TradeIQ's revised version he substituted Hawkeye's Volume Indicator in lieu of Squeeze Momentum. We found that including both indicators we were getting better results so included them both. Feel free to experiment more. Would love to see how this could be improved on.
This strategy uses a combination of 4 open-source public indicators:
Parabolic Sar (built in)
10 in 1 MA's by hiimannshu
Squeeze Momentum by lazybear
HawkEYE Volume Indicator by lazybear
Trading Rules
5m timeframe and above. We saw equally good results in the higher (3h - 4h) timeframes as well.
Long Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts below price at last dot above and then previous bar needs to breach above that.
Price action has to be below both MA's and 50MA needs to be above 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in green or close to going green
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a green bar on the histagram
Short Entry:

Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear] added Alerting + webhookA modified version of Squeeze Momentum Indicator visualizing on Price Chart.
author: @LazyBear, modified by @KivancOzbilgic, and by @dgtrd
I took in all of the information as the script below is based on the V2 Script that @LazyBear posted and then added Alerting based on the math and the conditions that @dgtrd added.
Per the description here:
The Squeeze Indicator measures the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify consolidations and signal when prices are likely to break out (whether up or down).
The Squeeze Indicator finds sections of the Bollinger Bands which fall inside the Keltner's Channels, and in this case, the market is said to be in a squeeze (indicator turns off, displayed with grey diamond shapes in this study).
When the volatility increases, so does the distance between the bands. Conversely, when the volatility declines, the distance also decreases, and in such cases, the squeeze is said to be released (indicator turns on, displayed with triangle up or triangle down shapes)
Taking the above information and what was in the script was able to base the alert conditions:
So when the condition:
Squeeze On or No Squeeze = In Squeeze
Squeeze Off = Squeeze Release Long or Squeeze Release Long based off conditions.
There are 2 separate alert Types.
1. App, Pop-up, eMail, play sound and Send email to SMS
2. It Is dedicated to Webhook for your various applications.

Squeeze Momentum Strategy [LazyBear] Buy Sell TP SL Alerts-Modified version of Squeeze Momentum Indicator by @LazyBear.
-Converted to version 5,
-Taken inspiration from @KivancOzbilgic for its buy sell calculations,
-Used @Bunghole strategy template with Take Profit, Stop Loss and Enable/Disable Toggles
-Added Custom Date Backtesting Module
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All credit goes to above
Problem with original version:
The original Squeeze Momentum Strategy did not have buy sell signals and there was alot of confusion as to when to enter and exit.
There was no proper strategy that would allow backtesting on which further analysis could be carried out.
There are 3 aspects this strategy:
1 ) Strategy Logic (easily toggleable from the dropdown menu from strategy settings)
- LazyBear (I have made this simple by using Kivanc technique of Momentums Moving Average Crossover, BUY when MA cross above signal line, SELL when crossdown signal line)
- Zero Crossover Line (BUY signal when crossover zero line, and SELL crossdown zero line)
2) Long Short TP and SL
- In strategies there is usually only 1 SL and 1 TP, and it is assumed that if a 2% SL giving a good profit %, then it would be best for both long and short. However this is not the case for many. Many markets/pairs, go down with much more speed then they go up with. Hence once we have a profitable backtesting setting, then we should start optimizing Long and Short SL's seperately. Once that is done, we should start optimizing for Long and Short TP's separately, starting with Longs first in both cases.
3) Enable and Disable Toggles of Long and Short Trades
- Many markets dont allow short trades, or are not suitable for short trades. In this case it would be much more feasible to disable "Short" Trading and see results of Long Only as a built in graphic view of backtestor provides a more easy to understand data feed as compared to the performance summary in which you have to review long and short profitability separately.
4) Custom Data Backtesting
- One of most crucial aspects while optimizing for backtesting is to check a strategies performance on uptrends, downtrend and sideways markets seperately as to understand the weak points of strategy.
- Once you enable custom date backtesting, you will see lines on the chart which can be dragged left right based on where you want to start and end the backtesting from and to.
Note:
- Not a financial advise
- Open to feedback, questions, improvements, errors etc.

Variety-Filtered, Squeeze Moving Averages [Loxx]Variety-Filtered, Squeeze Moving Averages is a chop zone indicator that identifies when price is below a specific volatility threshold calculated as the difference between a fast and slow moving average and filtered using ATR- or Pips-based threshold. This indicator can be use as both an entry and exit indicator. It identifies both chop zones and breakouts/breakdowns
How to use
When the candles turn white and the threshold bands appear on the chart, this is indicative of low volatility
When price exits the threshold bands, price will usually explode up or down giving a long or short signal. This acts as a sort of squeeze momentum.
Included:
Bar coloring
Signals
Alerts, 4 types of alerts: Squeeze started, Squeeze ended, long, and short

First of All, I would like to give my gratitude to for the initital script's idea.
This is my own version of SQZMOM. I had revised all equations and parameters according to Investopedia.
Still, no matter how much we stick to the indicator, the indicator can not see the future.
Trading results vary from time to time. In my opinion, SQZMOM is great for speculating under 4H timeframe.
Remarks;
- implement horizontal shift
- revised all equations. Unfortunately, there is no magic params.
- Be careful with your money management
- Good Luck
Leonidas Squeeze Momentum SystemThis indicator is based on LazyBear SQ Momentum Indicator and SQ Plus Indicator.
This indicator is using ADX and Squeeze Momentum Indicator.
When you see the ADX above 0 line and the slop is positive that means the trend is strong
When the ADX is below 0 line and the trend is weak you will see the slop negative and the color gray
When we see the SQ changing the color from Red to Yellow that means the sell pressure is decreasing this could be a potential buy signal
When we see the color changing from blue to dark blue that means the buy pressure is decreasing this could be a a potential sell signal
Bull/Bear divergences supported
Added SQ signal
this signal is an exponential moving average following the SQ main signal useful for filtering fake signals.
This indicator is very powerful but offers many fake signals it is recommended using this indicator with other indicators to confirm the entries
Squeeze Momentum + Volatility [LeonidasCrypto]Based on Squeeze Momentum indicator by LazyBear
This custom version of SQ is part of my Trading System.
How to use it.
Please read the description of the original author of this indicator here.
Volatility .
When the market is contracting or sideways usually you will see red or blue dots.
Blue dots. the market is in sideways and the volatility is low.
Red dots. the market is in the climax of volatility usually after of a big move this is a potential signal the peak of the move is near.
I added volatility to SQ because I consider volatility is a key factor for trading to anticipate the moves.
SQZ Multiframe StrategyThis is a first attempt to automate what my current strategy when trading is.
It uses 2 timeframes: the one you are currently using to see the chart and an "anchor trend" which is a higher order frame.
Supported timeframes are: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W
The Strategy relies on two indicators:
Squeeze Momentum Indicator
CMF
How does it works?
It looks for a moment when the following conditions are met.
For Long:
Positive directionality in SQZM monitor in anchor timeframe
Positive directionality in SQZM monitor in current timeframe
Recent minimum in CMF
For Short:
Negative directionality in SQZM monitor in anchor timeframe
Negative directionality in SQZM monitor in current timeframe
Recent maximum in CMF
After a BUY or SELL order is executed the plot will start showing two lines: A TP line, and a SL line.
The TP and SL move dynamically based on a greedy algorithm based on 3 input parameters.
Min Profit to Start Moving SL (%): Sets an initial target for the trade.
Maximum Possible of SL (%): This is the maximum amount possible for SL. If volatility is not too high, a shorter SL will be chosen based on Kaufman's Stops method
Take profit factor: Is how much portion of the target I am taking as profit once the target is reached
Example for 5% Min profit:
When the first target is reached (+5%), the SL will be updated to 2.5% over the enter price.
When the second target is reached (+10%), the SL will be updated to 5% over the enter price.
Note: The strategy might abandon the position prematurely if a contrary signal is received while the trade is opened, and will change direction.
The Strategy has been backtested mostly for crypto. It might be good for stocks too, but the parameters mentioned might need some adjustments since price moves at a different rate.
Recommended timeframe is 4H for BTC , and 30min/1H for alts.
Comments and ideas are more than welcome!
Squeeze Momentum Indicator MTF with alerts [lazy bear]MTF version of the popular squeeze momentum indicator, created and shared by Lazy Bear
Squeeze Momentum [Plus]The "Momentum" in this indicator is smoothed out using linear regression. The Momentum is what is displayed on the indicator as a histogram, its purpose is obvious (to show momentum).
What is a Squeeze? A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands tighten up enough to slip inside of Keltner Channels .
This is interpreted as price is compressing and building up energy before releasing it and making a big move.
Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC.
In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages.
The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three.
The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings.
The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator.
And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression.
Now to explain the parameters:
Squeeze Input - This is just the source for the Squeeze to use, default value is closing price.
Length - This is the length of time used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels .
Bollinger Bands Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Bollinger Bands .
Keltner Channel Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Keltner Channel.
Color Format - you to choose one of 5 different color schemes.
Draw Divergence - Self explanatory here, this will auto-draw divergence on the indicator.
Gray Background for Dark Mode - to make them more visually appealing.
Added ADX (Average Directional Index) that measure a trend’s strength. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The ADX line is white when it has a positive slope, otherwise it is gray. When the ADX has a very large dispersion with respect to the momentum histogram, increase the scale number.
Added "H (Hull Moving Average) Signal". Hull is a extremely responsive and smooth moving average created by Alan Hull in 2005. Have option to chose between 3 Hull variations.
Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets.
The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility, and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up.
The FE green triangles are "Filtered Entries"
The AE green triangles are "Aggressive Filtered Entries"
