TTM Regression°

5 ביולי 2022

This oscillator attempts to provide context to John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" indicator.

Similar to my MAR° indicator, statistically significant areas based on the past n candles (Lookback) are calculated to provide context for the y-axis values of the TTM indicator.
Note that Carter's squeeze idea has been dropped in favour of the regression bands, in that they offer a clear visual momentum squeeze condition.

The regression bands identify temporary exhaustion of bullish (purple) and bearish (green) momentum; these could potentially be seen as overbought and oversold indications.
The dotted midlines dictate intra-zones where momentum could reverse to continue the larger trend.
All the latter behave similarly to Support and Resistance zones.

The oscillator can also be normalized over a given interval to show results on a scale between 0 and 100, preserving even more context over time.
You should experiment for yourself to find out what is best for you in terms of scale, and Normalization Period.

Normalization Example: on the left you can observe how the momentum is visualized differently based on the scale, given the rapid momentum to the upside.

// –––. Regular


// –––. Normalized


It's crucial to use this oscillator as confluence only and not to take trades based solely on its indications.
