## 📊 What is Squeeze Momentum Pro?

Squeeze Momentum Pro is a professional volatility and momentum indicator based on the renowned squeeze strategy popularized by John Carter. It identifies periods of market compression (squeeze) and anticipates explosive breakout movements before they occur.

The indicator combines two powerful volatility measurement tools:

- **Bollinger Bands** (20-period, 2.0 standard deviation)

- **Keltner Channels** (20-period, 1.5 ATR multiple)

When Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, a "squeeze" is detected, signaling that the market is building energy for a potential explosive move.

## 🎯 Key Features

### 1. Squeeze Detection System

- **Black Dots** = Squeeze Active (market is compressing, prepare for breakout)

- **Blue Dots** = Squeeze Released (breakout is occurring, look for momentum direction)

- **Gray Dots** = No Squeeze (normal market conditions)

### 2. Momentum Histogram

The histogram displays market momentum with 4 distinct colors:

- **Lime Green** = Strong bullish momentum (increasing)

- **Dark Green** = Weak bullish momentum (decreasing)

- **Red** = Strong bearish momentum (decreasing)

- **Maroon** = Weak bearish momentum (increasing)

### 3. Real-Time Dashboard

Built-in dashboard showing:

- Current squeeze state

- Momentum direction

- Number of bars in squeeze

- Active parameters

## 📈 How to Interpret Signals

### Squeeze + Momentum Breakout

When the histogram changes from red to lime green while coming out of a squeeze (black dots), this represents a strong bullish signal.

### Squeeze Duration

Longer squeeze periods often lead to more powerful breakouts. The dashboard displays the number of bars in squeeze to help gauge potential volatility.

### Momentum Color Transitions

- **Red → Maroon** : Selling pressure decreasing, potential reversal

- **Lime → Green** : Buying pressure decreasing, potential reversal

- **Maroon → Lime** : Strong bullish reversal

- **Green → Red** : Strong bearish reversal
