BTC Momentum Detector 1h

# BTC Momentum Detector 1h

This indicator is designed to detect significant momentum movements in Bitcoin price on the 1-hour timeframe. It identifies candles with percentage changes within a specific range, which often precede larger price movements.

## How It Works

The indicator analyzes price movements to detect potential momentum shifts:
- Identifies candles with percentage changes between configurable thresholds (default: 1.7% - 2.8%)
- Requires neutral or inverse movement in the prior candle to avoid false signals
- Optional volume filter ensures signals are confirmed by above-average trading activity
- Tracks price continuation to calculate success rates and average returns

## Key Features

- **Signal Detection**: Green triangles below price bars indicate upward momentum signals; red triangles above price bars indicate downward momentum signals
- **Continuation Tracking**: Dashed horizontal lines show the entry price levels of active signals being tracked
- **Statistics Panel**: Displays real-time metrics including signal counts, success rates, and average returns
- **Current Status**: Shows the current price change percentage and active signals being monitored

## Parameters

- **Minimum Percentage Threshold**: Minimum price change to trigger a signal (default: 1.7%)
- **Maximum Percentage Threshold**: Maximum price change to filter out extreme moves (default: 2.8%)
- **Continuation Periods**: Number of periods to track after signal (default: 2)
- **Require Prior Neutral/Inverse**: Filters signals by requiring neutral or opposite prior movement
- **Neutral Threshold**: Defines what's considered a neutral movement (default: 0.1%)
- **Volume Filter**: Option to require above-average volume for confirmation
- **Volume Multiplier**: Volume must exceed average by this factor (default: 2x)

## Strategy Concept

The underlying strategy is based on the concept that when Bitcoin makes a controlled, significant move (not too small, not too large) after a period of neutral or opposite movement, it often continues in that direction for the next few periods. This pattern reflects the early stages of momentum development in the market.
