- 1:49squeeze momentum indicator is a
- 1:50derivative of another indicator called
- 1:52TTM squeeze which was created by John F
- 1:55Carter a well-known Trader and author
- 1:58this indicator is designed to identify
- 2:00periods of consolidations in the market
- 2:02which typically precede a significant
- 2:04breakout move it's based on the premise
- 2:07that when the market is in a period of
- 2:08consolidation it's like a spring being
- 2:11compressed and when that spring is
- 2:13released it can lead to a super powerful
- 2:16momentum move in One Direction now let's
- 2:19explore this indicator as you can see
- 2:21here it's made up of several different
- 2:22components we have these bright green
- 2:25and dark green bars then down here we
- 2:28have these bright red and dark red bars
- 2:31also in the middle here we have these
- 2:33orange and white dots The Squeeze
- 2:36momentum indicator measures two
- 2:38different things in the market momentum
- 2:40and volatility this histogram represents
- 2:44bullish and bearish momentum the green
- 2:46bars represent bullish momentum and
- 2:49these red bars represent bearish
- 2:51momentum for the strategy we're going to
- 2:53do in this video we will only trade in
- 2:55the direction of Market momentum then
- 2:58these dots sitting on the Zero Z line
- 3:00indicate Market volatility these orange
- 3:03dots indicates that the market is in a
- 3:05squeeze that basically means that the
- 3:07market is consolidating or moving
- 3:09sideways hence low volatility when the
- 3:12market breaks out of the consolidation
- 3:14phase and the volatility increases the
- 3:16dots change color from Orange to White
- 3:19the traditional way of using this
- 3:21indicator to trade is like this when
- 3:23these dots change color from Orange to
- 3:25White and the histogram bar is bright
- 3:28green you take a long trade and when the
- 3:31dots change color from Orange to White
- 3:34and the histogram bar is bright red you
- 3:36take a short
- 3:37trade however using this indicator to
- 3:40trade this way is just okay to be honest
- 3:43in order to take our strategy from being
- 3:45okay to great we need to add two more
- 3:49indicators to the Chan the first one is
- 3:51called moving average this one under
- 3:54technicals and the second one is called
- 3:56support and resistance levels with braks
- 3:59this one by Lu algo double click on the
- 4:02moving average to access the settings on
- 4:04the input tab change the length to 200
- 4:08then on the style tuab change the color
- 4:10to whatever you
- 4:11want then double click on the support
- 4:13and resistance indicator and on the
- 4:16style tub change the resistance color to
- 4:19green and then change the support color
- 4:21to Red so here's how we're going to
- 4:24combine these three indicators to create
- 4:26our profitable trading strategy the most
- 4:29important thing is Trend confirmation
- 4:31and this moving average is going to be
- 4:33used for that the dots of the squeeze
- 4:35momentum indicator are going to be used
- 4:37as Buy sell entry signals then we're
- 4:40going to use the squeeze momentum
- 4:41histogram to ensure that we're only
- 4:43trading in the direction of Market
- 4:45momentum then our final entry
- 4:48confirmation is going to be a break
- 4:50outside of a support or resistance level
- 4:52and the Lux Alo support and resistance
- 4:54indicator is going to be used for that
- 4:57now we're going to explore the
- 4:58conditions needed for entering trades

- 5:56trade using the link in the description
- 5:58of this video now now back to the video
- 6:00to enter a long trade first the market
- 6:03should be trading above the moving
- 6:05average to indicate that it's in a
- 6:06bullish Trend second the price must
- 6:09break and close above the resistance
- 6:11Zone represented by this green line
- 6:13let's extend it to the right by adding a
- 6:15horizontal line right here the third
- 6:18condition is that the squeeze momentum
- 6:20histogram should be colored bright green
- 6:22like it is right here to indicate that
- 6:24the market has a high enough bullish
- 6:26momentum to push the price in the
- 6:28direction of our trade if it's colored
- 6:30dark green like it is right here we
- 6:33simply skip that setup then lastly on
- 6:35the squeeze momentum indicator we need
- 6:37to have at least six consecutive orange
- 6:40dots followed by a single white dot this
- 6:44white dot signifies an increase in
- 6:45volatility which basically indicates
- 6:48that the market is starting to break out
- 6:49of a squeeze or a consolidation phase
- 6:53this is our entry signal we're going to
- 6:55enter a long trade here set our stop
- 6:57loss below the most recent swing low
- 7:00for the take profit we're going to set
- 7:02it at two times the
- 7:04risk we let this trade
- 7:07run and take profit one thing to note
- 7:10about this strategy is that this white
- 7:12dot doesn't need to align with the break
- 7:14of the resistance level if it doesn't
- 7:16come by the time this breakout happens
- 7:18you just wait for it on the next few
- 7:20candles but up to a maximum of four
- 7:23candles after the breakout if it comes
- 7:25later than four candles after the
- 7:26breakout you simply skip that setup Let
- 7:29Me Show an example example as you can
- 7:30see here the market was trading above
- 7:32the moving
- 7:33average then the price broke and closed
- 7:36above the resistance level but the dots
- 7:38were still colored orange we fast
- 7:41forward for a
- 7:44bit and then four candles later we see
- 7:47that the dots finally changed color to
- 7:49white we also see that the squeeze
- 7:51momentum histogram was colored bright
- 7:53green so this becomes our entry candle
