Volatility Based Momentum with MTF Screener by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
This indicator builds on our original Volatility Based Momentum tool by integrating a Multi Time Frame (MTF) Screener that provides real-time, cross-market momentum analysis. It dynamically adjusts momentum signals using adaptive volatility measurements, ensuring that signals reflect true market strength across various timeframes and assets.
How It Works
Core Momentum Analysis:
The indicator uses a double‐smoothed SMI combined with a Price – Moving Average Ratio (PMARP) to assess short-term momentum. These metrics filter out noise and generate per-candle signals based on sustained market energy.
Adaptive Volatility Measurement:
An adaptive volatility factor—derived from a Bollinger Band Width Percentile (BBWP) calculation—scales the momentum readings, ensuring that only strong signals in a sufficiently volatile market are considered.
MTF Screener Integration:
The MTF Screener scans multiple timeframes simultaneously, confirming that a momentum signal is consistent across different market views. This extra layer of screening reduces false signals and helps ensure that the detected momentum is robust and reliable.
Real-Time Visual Feedback:
Dynamic visual cues, such as color changes and signal markers, indicate when the momentum and volatility align, providing a clear, actionable overview.
Why It’s Different and Valuable
This indicator isn’t just a simple overlay of standard momentum and volatility measures—it’s a multi-layered system that verifies signals across multiple timeframes. The integrated MTF Screener provides broader context and cross-validation, making it a more dependable tool for confirming trend strength. This level of depth in analysis offers enhanced clarity and helps traders make more confident decisions compared to using conventional indicators in isolation.
