Seasonal Momentum Indicator

This is basically a 5-period seasonal average with an applied momentum (10 ) applied. This is plotted and compared to the current momentum (10). The current momentum is in red while the seasonal momentum is in blue.

You can see that whenever the seasonal momentum and the current momentum are in the same direction, the probability of the trend continuing is higher. Also whenever there is a divergence in the two; the red line (current momentum) will often catch up to the blue (seasonal momentum).

Another use of this indicator is as a divergence detector. If you turn off the red line, you will have only the blue line plotted on the graph. Take this and apply lines to see if the momentum diverges from the price (see example).










I hope you enjoy this one. It only works for securities which have a five year record. You can use it on different time frames but the annual is probably the best and most useful.

Happy Trading
