This is a simple and easy-to-read momentum indicator that can help you identify divergences and shifts in momentum.
A divergence is when price moves in one direction but the indicator moves in the opposite direction. This typically is a sign of price exhaustion and can indicate that price is about to reverse, at least momentarily.
Here is a comparison with RSI (relative strength index) and some examples of divergences.

Release Notes
Added two new optional components: OBVM (On balance volume momentum) based on OBV and a custom Chaikin Money Flow.

All of these tools used in combination can give very strong signals and can help keep you out of bad trades.

Added smoothing to momentum waves, tweaked OBVM and made a bunch of improvements to CMF..
