WT - Amplitude - Momentum Detection is an adaptive regime-detection indicator designed to identify real-time momentum phases in financial markets. It measures actual momentum shifts by analyzing price amplitude (the distance price has moved) and the sequence of highs and lows, distinguishing true upward or downward momentum phases from neutral conditions.
Key features include:
- **Regime Detection:** Pinpoints market entry and exit points for momentum trends.
- **Volatility Adaptation:** Uses Parkinson Volatility to self-tune sensitivity based on current market conditions, ensuring consistent performance across varying volatility.
- **Dynamic VWAP:** Calculates a volume-weighted average price specific to each trend regime, providing dynamic support and resistance levels for pullback and continuation entries.
- **Roll Spread Estimator:** Estimates bid-ask spreads to signal optimal re-entry points during trends.
- **Self-Optimization Module:** Automatically adjusts parameters without manual intervention.
The indicator operates by continuously tracking price extremes to measure swing amplitude, detecting significant reversals that exceed volatility-adjusted thresholds, and identifying momentum exhaustion when price progression stalls. It uses logarithmic returns and basis-point normalization for mathematically robust, cross-asset consistency. Synthetic volume calculations enhance VWAP accuracy across symbols.
This tool supports multiple markets including Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, and is compatible with various timeframes. It outputs visual signals and filters to assist traders in objective trend identification and clear entry zone determination.
