How does the Momentum indicator work? Hello to my loyal friends who always follow my official website. I have often been asked how the Momentum indicator works? Perhaps this question has arisen in your mind before, so today I decided to explain to you how this indicator works. The Momentum technical indicator actually monitors the strength and speed of a trend. When you add this indicator to the chart from the “fx” button, it is displayed at the bottom of the chart, which generally consists of a zero line and a histogram. Various signals can be received from this indicator. Bullish signals that indicate an upward trend appear above the zero line, and bearish signals below the zero line. So, up to this point, you have become familiar with the Momentum indicator. Be your constant friend by continuing the article, as we are going to dissect the Momentum technical indicator.
Features and a more complete definition for the Momentum indicator
The momentum indicator is originally designed to measure the momentum of a trend. If I were to define this indicator in more detail, I would call it a technical indicator designed to measure the momentum of a trend. The basic features of this indicator are the calculation of price changes over a time period, such as 10 days. Another feature of momentum is that traders can identify entry and exit points based on this indicator. Custom settings and divergences are other features of the momentum indicator.
How to set up Momentum
When you enter the settings panel of this indicator, you will be faced with two options: input and style. The input option shows the default period of this indicator, or in other words, the momentum calculation formula is based on ten days, which you can change according to your strategy. The next option I mentioned is style. By entering this button, you can change and personalize the colors of bullish or bearish candles.
But how do we use the momentum indicator?
You might assume that this indicator works like the MACD technical indicator because it has a histogram, but it is not! The MACD indicator has a histogram, but it is technically different from the Momentum indicator. As I said, Momentum is more important for analyzing the momentum and speed of a trend. You can use this indicator to identify the trend of a stock, analyze divergences, and identify entry and exit points for a trade. And use it in your trading.
My personal experience of trading with the momentum indicator
My personal experience of trading with the Momentum indicator correctly shows that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools because the Momentum indicator alone shows false signals. In my experience, I realized that when a strong uptrend appears on the chart, the Momentum indicator candles go above the zero line and appear green. If the strong uptrend is stable, the histogram never falls below the zero line, but the histogram above the zero line turns red, which means that if you look at the chart, the trend is probably in a short correction and will then continue. The same explanation is true for downtrends. But from my point of view, when the Momentum indicator histogram approaches the zero line and the histogram candles become short, the price chart is under equal buying and selling pressure and we should pay attention to the technical and price action of the chart so that the chart leaves the neutral state and breaks in one direction. I learned from working with the momentum indicator that both green and red candles are seen below the zero line and above the zero line. Friends, please note that the main strength of the trend with the momentum indicator is shown based on the zero line and the size of the candles on or below the zero line. I have gained sweet experiences from trading with the momentum indicator. If you also have experience working with momentum, be sure to write your experiences below.
