Momentum Cascade | Lyro RS

7 026
Overview:
Momentum Cascade is a rate-of-change momentum tool that passes a single momentum reading through three sequential smoothing stages to filter out early, unconfirmed moves. Rather than reacting to the first sign of a shift, it waits for the momentum signal to "cascade" through instant, reactive, and committed stages before confirming a trend, giving a cleaner read on when a move has genuine follow-through.

Key Features
  • Three-Stage Cascade Engine: Calculates a rate-of-change momentum value, then passes it through two successive EMA smoothing stages. Stage 1 is the raw instant impulse, Stage 2 is the first reactive smoothing, and Stage 3 is the fully committed signal.
  • Trend Confirmation Score: Each stage contributes +1 or -1 depending on its direction. A trend only confirms when all three stages agree (score of +3 or -3), filtering out momentum blips that fade before they cascade through.
  • Gradient Strength Visualization: The committed Stage 3 line and candle coloring use a gradient blend based on how strong the current agreement is across all three stages, giving an at-a-glance read on conviction.
  • Multi-Layer Plotting: Displays all three cascade stages simultaneously (thin instant line, mid-weight reactive line, and a glow-effect committed line) so you can see momentum building in real time, not just the final confirmation.
  • Candle Coloring: Optionally recolors chart candles using the same gradient logic as the oscillator, aligning price action visually with the cascade's current trend strength.
  • Customizable Visuals: Choose from 4 preset palettes — Classic, Mystic, Accented, Royal — or define your own custom bullish/bearish colors.
  • Built-In Signals: Automatically plots long/short labels on confirmed trend flips (when the score crosses into full +3 or -3 agreement).


How It Works
  1. Momentum Calculation – Computes rate-of-change of price over the chosen length as the raw momentum impulse (Stage 1).
  2. Cascade Smoothing – Passes that momentum through an EMA to produce Stage 2 (reactive), then smooths again to produce Stage 3 (committed).
  3. Scoring – Assigns +1/-1 per stage based on sign, summing to a score between -3 and +3.
  4. Trend Confirmation – A trend state only flips when the score reaches full agreement (+3 or -3), meaning all three stages point the same direction.
  5. Signal Plotting – Trend flips are marked with long/short labels, and candle/line coloring reflects both direction and agreement strength via gradient.


Practical Use
  • Trend Confirmation – Use full cascade agreement (score of ±3) as confirmation that a momentum shift has enough follow-through to be tradeable, rather than acting on Stage 1 alone.
  • Early Warning – Watch Stage 1 and Stage 2 for early signs of a potential shift before the full cascade confirms, useful for anticipating entries.
  • Conviction Reading – Use the gradient strength on Stage 3 and candles to gauge how strongly the current trend is holding versus weakening.
  • Combine with Structure – Pair cascade confirmations with support/resistance or market structure levels for higher-quality entries.


Customization
  • Adjust Momentum Length and Stage Smoothing independently to tune responsiveness vs. lag.
  • Toggle signal labels and candle coloring on/off.
  • Pick a preset palette or define fully custom bullish/bearish colors.
