1. Overview
MomentumQ Sniper integrates multiple quantitative and technical modules into one visual framework.
It's designed for professional and discretionary traders who want a complete bias and structure map directly on their chart.
Core Features
- Nadaraya-Watson Envelopes – adaptive smoothing + dynamic trend channel
- Price Countdown Setups – automatic multi-bar exhaustion detection
- Moving Average Signals – normalized distance-based turning points
- Customizable Moving Averages Stack – short- to long-term structure view
- OLS Regression Line – quick trend estimation
- Bollinger Bands Module – optional classic volatility view
- Dark / Light Mode Support
2. Theme Settings
Dark / Light Mode
Choose between Dark Mode or Light Mode to match your TradingView background.
All text, labels, and signal colors adjust automatically for clarity.
3. Moving Average Signal Engine
Function
This module measures how far price is from its Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a configurable window and normalizes that distance to identify potential momentum rotations.
Signals
- Bullish (B) – price recovering from below its mean (potential upturn)
- Bearish (S) – price retreating from above its mean (potential downturn)
These labels can be toggled with "Show MA Signals." They act as contextual momentum markers — not guaranteed entry/exit signals.

4. Price Countdown Setups
Inspired by quantitative exhaustion logic, this module counts sequences of directional closes.
Conditions
- Bullish Setup: A sustained streak of weakening closes completes, suggesting downside exhaustion.
- Bearish Setup: A sustained streak of strengthening closes completes, suggesting upside exhaustion.
When the full sequence completes, the bar is highlighted. The exact counting rules and lookback references are part of the script's internal logic.
Visualization Modes
- Shapes – markers (+ or –) above/below bars
- Background – subtle background color
- Both – display both shapes and background
- Off – hide the module
Background mode:
Custom background colors (bullish / bearish) are user-defined.

Shapes mode:
This helps you instantly spot exhaustion clusters that may precede reversals.

5. Nadaraya-Watson Envelopes (Trend Model)
The core of Sniper. It applies a Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression to smooth price and draws adaptive envelopes based on volatility.
Main Components
- Smoothed NW Line – fair-value estimate of price
- Upper and Lower Envelopes – dynamic overbought/oversold zones
- Fill Between Bands – optional shaded trend channel
- Dynamic Trend Coloring – slope-based (lime = up, red = down)
- Bar Re-Coloring (Optional) – color candles by NW trend

Adaptive Bandwidth
The smoothing reacts to volatility using ATR or Standard Deviation. When volatility rises, the bandwidth expands; when it contracts, smoothing tightens.
You can control:
- Adapt Mode: ATR or StdDev
- Adapt Strength: sensitivity
- Adapt Lookback: period for baseline
Higher Timeframe Mode
You can compute the entire NW model using a higher timeframe source (e.g., 4H data on a 15m chart). This produces a higher-level directional channel useful for lower-timeframe execution.
Mini-Dashboard
A small table (top-right corner) displays:
- "UP" = positive slope
- "DOWN" = negative slope
This quick visual cue gives you instant trend bias.

6. NW Signals (Alerts & Markers)
When "Show Signals" is enabled, Sniper can mark events derived from the NW envelopes.
Modes
- Reversal Mode – price touches the outer envelope (potential reaction)
- Breakout Mode – price breaks through the envelope (potential continuation)
Reversal:

Breakout:

Alerts
Two built-in alert conditions:
- NW Long Signal – bullish touch or breakout
- NW Short Signal – bearish touch or breakout
You can attach TradingView alerts to receive notifications in real time.
7. Moving Averages Stack
A flexible framework of multiple MAs (5 → 325 periods) with individual visibility and type selection.
Configuration
For each period you can choose:
- SMA or EMA
- Custom color
- Show/hide toggle

Common Use Cases
- Short-term (5-10) → micro trend and momentum
- Mid-term (20-50) → structure bias
- Long-term (100-325) → macro direction
This helps visualize structural alignment (bullish stack vs bearish stack) at a glance.
8. OLS Regression Line
The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Regression module fits a linear trend line over a selected number of bars (default 15).
Options
- Show Regression Line – displays current slope
- Show Intercept Line – displays baseline level
Purpose: Measure near-term direction and strength. Detect acceleration or deceleration phases.

9. Bollinger Bands Module
An optional overlay for traditional 20-period SMA ± 2 standard deviations. When enabled:
- Draws upper and lower bands.
- Optional color fill for quick volatility context.
This is a familiar complement to the adaptive NW model — allowing comparison between static and adaptive volatility zones.
10. Alerts Summary
Built-in alert conditions:
- Bullish Price Countdown – possible upward momentum
- Bearish Price Countdown – possible downward momentum
- NW Long Signal / Short Signal – interaction with envelopes
These alerts are optional and purely informational.
11. Best Practices
- After each update, remove and re-add the indicator to load new settings.
- Choose Dark / Light Mode first for consistent colors.
- For scalping or intraday trading:
- Enable NW Envelopes + Adaptive Bandwidth.
- Enable Price Countdown.
- Use short MAs (8–30).
- For swing or positional work:
- Focus on higher timeframe NW trend and long MAs (50–325).
- Disable extra signals for clarity.
