NinjaTrader 8 PowerMeter Momentum Gauge showing trend strength and volatility intensity.

Dynamic ranges

Define custom low/medium/high zones for each instrument.

Fully configurable

Every setting is customizable in both size and behavior.

Price tells you where the market is moving. It doesn't tell you how much strength is behind it.

Two moves can look identical on a chart – the same candle size, the same distance – yet one is backed by real volume and volatility while the other is already running out of momentum. Without measuring that, it's easy to chase a move that's already exhausted or ignore a real trend because it doesn't look impressive yet.

Price shows the move. Strength tells you how much conviction is behind it.

I kept entering moves that had already run out of momentum – so I built a way to measure it.

Chasing exhausted moves cost me more trades than I'd like to admit. I wanted one simple number that told me whether the momentum was still there – both on the chart in front of me and in the bigger market context around it.

It's still on my chart before every momentum trade.

How it works

  1. Add the indicator and set your lookback periods – the daily average over your chosen number of days and momentum over your selected number of bars, defining what "normal" looks like for that instrument.
  2. The gauge displays current strength as a percentage of your own low, medium, and high zones, so you can instantly see whether momentum is still building or already fading.
  3. Use separate PowerMeters for different timeframes – one on the 1-minute chart for entries and another on the 4-hour chart to measure the overall strength of the current market environment.

What's included

  1. The 1-minute PowerMeter displays real-time market strength directly on the 1-minute chart, built for day traders and scalpers.
  2. The 4-hour PowerMeter compares the current market environment with historical data (e.g. the last 365 days), so you can instantly see whether conditions are unusually strong or weak.
  3. Two additional display modes make calibration easier, with fully configurable timeframes, ranges, and parameters.
