MultiFrame Momentum Indicator
The MultiFrame Momentum is an advanced indicator that analyzes momentum strength and direction across multiple timeframes. It combines price patterns with dynamic volatility to generate more precise signals. It uses an intelligent weighting system that automatically adjusts the influence of each timeframe based on its recent activity (ATR-based), making it ideal for trading in markets with changing volatility, such as Forex, indices, or cryptocurrencies.

-
ATR_Multiplier: Intensity of the ATR effect (0.3 = gentle, 1.0 = aggressive).
Pattern Adjustments:
-
ContinuationWeight: Weight given to continuation patterns (e.g., consecutive candles in the same direction).

Buy when the line is green and the price closes above the upper Bollinger band (20,2).
-
Sell when the line is red and the price closes below the lower band.

Filter signals where volume is > 30% of the average of the last 50 candles.
Divergences:

If the line is green but the price makes lower lows, wait for a close above the previous high.
