Market Momentum Energy [ZurvanEG]⯁ Market Momentum Energy
◇ Overview
Market Momentum Energy is a directional energy oscillator designed to evaluate whether current market movement has enough strength, participation, and directional conviction to matter. Instead of measuring price change alone, it converts movement into a normalized energy reading that reflects direction, intensity, volatility context, participation, and movement quality.
It helps separate clean directional pressure from noise, low-volume drift, volatility expansion, compression, or late-stage exhaustion. Its purpose is to show whether movement has meaningful energy behind it, whether that energy is expanding or fading, and whether conditions are closer to ignition, weak movement, saturation, or possible reversal pressure.
◈ Core Framework
At its core, the indicator uses a motion-energy model that measures directional movement through price displacement or regression-based slope, then normalizes it against recent volatility for better comparison across regimes, instruments, and timeframes.
The motion reading is shaped through a power curve, while an optional effort layer can modulate it using volume or true range. After that, self-normalization keeps energy, thresholds, dead zones, saturation levels, and signal logic more stable across changing volatility conditions.
The framework also includes quality filtering, final energy smoothing, signal logic, energy bands, divergence detection, optional energy MA, adaptive visuals, candle coloring, signal-volume markers, alerts, and a compact info table.
◇ Signals
The signal system highlights energy ignition events. Signals are generated when energy crosses a defined threshold, with controls for quality, saturation, HMA-based short-term direction confirmation, re-arm behavior, and optional alternation.
◇ Signal Volume Markers
The indicator can draw transparent volume-based circles directly on signal candles. Circle size is based on cumulative volume over a user-defined lookback period, making it easier to identify signals that appear after unusually high participation. This feature is most meaningful on markets with reliable volume data.
◇ Energy Bands
The energy bands provide statistical context for the current energy reading. They help identify stretched momentum, possible exhaustion zones, or unusually strong directional expansion. To keep the chart clean, bands can appear only when energy gets close to them and remain visible for a few bars after activation.
◇ Dead Zone & Saturation
The dead zone marks areas where energy is too weak to be treated as meaningful. The saturation level marks areas where energy is already strong or potentially overextended. Together, they organize the oscillator into practical states: weak, active, strong, and overextended.
◇ Divergence
The divergence module detects confirmed regular divergence between price and energy. It can help identify cases where price makes new highs or lows while energy fails to confirm. Pivot confirmation and filtering conditions are included to reduce weak or irrelevant divergence marks.
◇ Visual System
The visual layer makes energy state easy to read at a glance. Energy is shown as a directional histogram with optional line view, optional energy MA, adaptive intensity, contraction fading, dead-zone shading, energy bands, candle coloring, and signal-volume circles on the price chart.
The coloring system helps distinguish expanding energy, contracting energy, positive and negative movement, weak zones, saturated conditions, and high-participation signal areas.
◇ Alerts
Configurable alerts are included for bullish signals, bearish signals, bullish divergence, and bearish divergence. They support monitoring and workflow automation, but should still be evaluated with broader market context and risk management.
◇ Info Table
The compact info table summarizes current energy, quality, and market state. It acts as a quick reference panel for identifying dead zone, active direction, or strong energy conditions without inspecting every plot manually.
◇ Use Case
Market Momentum Energy is intended for traders who want a clearer way to evaluate directional movement strength. It can help identify momentum ignition, monitor whether energy is expanding or fading, avoid low-energy noise, detect overextended conditions, and add context to possible reversal or continuation setups.
It may be useful for trend-following traders, momentum traders, discretionary price-action traders, and system builders who want a structured energy layer for filtering market conditions.
It helps answer questions such as:
⬦ Is the market moving with enough energy?
⬦ Is the move clean or choppy?
⬦ Is momentum expanding or fading?
⬦ Is energy holding above or below its moving average?
⬦ Did the signal appear after unusually high cumulative volume?
⬦ Is the signal early enough, or already near saturation?
⬦ Is price making a new extreme while energy fails to confirm?
⬦ Is the market in a low-energy dead zone?
◈ Conclusion
Market Momentum Energy is built for traders who want more than a basic momentum oscillator. By combining normalized motion, participation effort, quality filtering, energy bands, divergence detection, final smoothing, signal-volume visualization, adaptive visuals, alerts, and structured signal logic, it provides a broader view of directional market energy.
Rather than simply showing whether price is rising or falling, the indicator focuses on whether movement has enough strength, participation, and directional conviction to matter.
In short, Market Momentum Energy is a practical tool for evaluating the strength, quality, and state of market movement before acting on a trade idea.
