B3 Volume Weighted MomentumB3 VWM is a momentum indicator that responds to the change of price in relationship to volume. In the end the final formula is the classic physics test question of p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity. In this indicator mass is the amount of volume it took to move the price where it did, and velocity is the change in price expressed as a percentage of the bar range. Then, the indicator goes through some filtering to help display the line. Should appear with very little lag work it to find the perfect bar for reversals.
This can be thought of as directional volume times directional momentum index, but truly it is not these literally, as the script doesn't discern how many contracts flew to the bid or to the ask for separation. So with this momentum indicator you can hopefully get a feel of the volume flow, yet still use this like a traditional momentum oscillator. Look to hit the reversals at peaks, and use caution when trading longs when this indicator is negative, and vise versa. There can be divergence in this oscillator, and you can help remedy poor divergences by adjusting the smoothness or the flatness of the indicator to suit your chart. Also the dead zone and mid zone are likely in need of adjustments depending on volume flow and price changes for that symbol and resolution. Defaults are a great starting point for most charts 5m to day. Swing traders might enjoy a length of 8-10 to rid some quick changes of direction in the indicator. Love to have things like this up with pivot studies for level reversal entries, like the few on the shared oil chart.
Enjoy, and I hope you like some of my other proprieties too. Feel free to comment! ~B3

B3 Directional Trend IndexB3 Directional Trend Index ~ All about the trend! William Blau is the designer of this gem, and IMHO it is the best trend finder of all the lagging indicators out there I have tested. It is important to pay attention to the slope and thickness of the line, and its relationship to zero. A reversion to the zero may look momentous, but in fact it could reverse when it reaches mean, only to turn back around. You can see this in March and April of this silver futures daily chart. Makes for a great instrument on anything you consider trendy, like crude oil for example. The default user inputs are set to my liking, as I find them to be great on all charts and resolutions. You may read around to find more about this on the internet, or its mentioned in Krausz's work. Also, imprtant to remember when no trend, trend finders like this sufffer, so be wise as to what market condition you are in. Rangy and within Range = no, On the Move = yes.
B3 Bar Cycle MTF (fix)Apologies, there was an error in printing for the thick gray boxes, happened when MTF was switched on. All better, and here is the details from before:
This is an interesting study that can be used as a tool for determining trend direction, and also could be a trailing stop setter. I use it as a gauge on MTF settings. If on, you can look at the bar cycle of the 1h while on the 15m giving you a lot of information in one tool. If a line is missing high or low, it is because it was broken, if both exist you are trading in range and cloud appears. If both sides break you get thick gray boxes above and below bar.
Get used to editing the inputs to suit your liking. Often 3-5 length and always looking at different resolutions to get a big picture story. You could put multiple instances of the study up to see them simultaneously. I based the idea off of Krausz's 3 day cycle which you can read about in his teachings. I tend to find it looking better using Heikin Ashi bar-style.

B3 EMA EntriesB3 EMA Entries = B3 EMA Ribbon "Trader"
This study takes the B3 EMA Ribbon and builds trade entries from it. The clouds represent the deviation from entry points; orange equals weakening or undetermined trend. Manage your own exits, and if you have a large deviation cloud in comparison to prior clouds.... take them profits!
Here also is a glimpse into my proprietary scripting that I will likely offer for a subscription at some point. Many simpler freebies like this share to come first of course! I will give away most simple indicators, but there are a few sub-chassis things I use, which I developed myself. One of which is indicator back testing, where I see all of the strategy's history information from the indicator on the chart. Sans trade-ticket automation, this voids the need for a strategy file or A.P.I. or backtesting devices (however, I plan to adapt things to TradingView's strategy system if I can, so that automation can take place). As well as this algorithmic trading system chassis, I also have a specialized statistical output chassis and another few graphical depiction sets.
For this share, you should manage your own exits, (you could simply use the orange clouds as an exit.) This is my most simple of the "indicator traders" I call them. The more intricate algorithmic trading indicators I make have the full trading package down to the risk to reward, entry, target, stop, and trail. The statistical systems are pretty unique, and I haven't seen many doing what I do on that front yet, so I am excited to get those out to more people. Look for these subscriptions in the near future, but as a token of introduction enjoy my next several free shares too.
Cheers, and good trades to you. ~B3
