Updated Kitty PMO [theUltimator5]
Kitty PMO [theUltimator5] is a momentum analysis tool designed to visually track and interpret the Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) — with stylistic influence inspired by the charting approach made popular by “theRoaringKitty.” It aims to offer clear, actionable momentum signals directly overlaid on the chart without clutter or ambiguity, making it ideal for traders who prioritize simplicity and signal clarity.
At its core, the indicator calculates the PMO by applying a custom recursive smoothing function to the rate of change (ROC) of price. This smoothed momentum measure is then:
Amplified by a scaling factor (×10),
Further smoothed using user-defined parameters,
Compared against a signal line (EMA of PMO),
And tracked with a secondary moving average (PMO MA) to capture medium-term trend inflections.
While the PMO and its associated signal lines can optionally be plotted, the indicator primarily emphasizes crossovers between the PMO MA and the other two components. When the PMO MA crosses above both the PMO and signal line, a green upward arrow (↑) is plotted below the price. When it crosses below both, a red downward arrow (↓) appears above the price — making it easy to spot potential turning points in momentum.
Additionally, a floating info table can be toggled on to display all current user-defined parameters in a clean, resizable format. This makes the script ideal not just for technical execution but also for real-time strategy tuning and tracking across multiple timeframes.
The script includes optional alerts so you can be notified the moment a key crossover signal is triggered, without needing to keep your eyes glued to the screen.

Release Notes
Updated (corrected) the moving average equation.-Old equation was ema(signal,length)
-Correct equation is sma(pmo,length)
Updated the line colors for the PMO line to change on cross-over (if enabled)
Added box to turn on or off the arrows.
If you move the indicator to a new scale below, you can now add in the 3 lines and remove the arrows to turn it into a standard PMO indicator with the moving average line.
Release Notes
I changed the default indicator settings to populate the PMO/Signal/MA lines below the chart with the arrows also added to the chart which can be toggled on or off.I also added a horizontal zero-cross line to show when the lines make zero crossings, since that has been a popular request.
