Steve Karnish combined LinRegSlope with Stochastic Momentum
and True Strength, all being momentum indicators in their own right.
Steve used fibonacci numbers in his formula.
I haven't. Not intentionally anyway.
>From memory, and Steve posted on this list a year or two ago, he
likes to use his indicator on less volatile stocks/whatever to catch
medium-term trend moves.
My intention was to use it to catch short-term trends using EOD data.
While I have not experimented with intraday I see no reason why a
version could not be used.
Momentum occurs in all markets and time frames.
I'm a momentum freak. I'm not AFL proficient by any means.
The important thing in my mind is to find a momentum indicator,
displaying upthrusts and retreats, that CORRESPONDS to trend line
breaks on the price chart.
I first plot long-term, medium-term, and short term trend lines on
the price chart in different colours.
Then I note where trend lines (in all three time frames) are violated
by price.
Next I manipulate a (possible) momentum formula for each time frame
until I get a match.
I plot the LT indicator as a light, dashed line, the MT indicator as
a dark, black solid line, the ST indicator as a dark, red, solid
line, and the ST indicator again, as a dark, red, histogram.
Now I've got my Market Momentum Map which I use as described in my
original post.
Now, the important question.
Is this a good momentum indicator. You bet.
Is it one of a kind, in its mathematical construction?
I have many others that display very similar results.
AB is the hero here in enabling a graphical display from which a
comprehensive understanding of the market can be obtained at a glance.
Even by a drongo like me.
Thanks again TJ

ps. Apologies if this explanation got a little long.
