The Philosophy
Most indicators fail not because they are wrong, but because they are used alone. A single Momentum reading, a single Volatility cross, or a single Order Flow spike can easily be a false positive in choppy or manipulated markets.
Synergy Signal is built on a different premise: require agreement. Each of the four pillars operates independently. The signal engine counts how many agree in the same direction, and only fires when the count meets your minimum threshold.
This means you will see fewer signals — but the ones you do see carry the weight of multiple confirming factors.
The Four Pillars
🔵 Expansion Wave
Measures how far price is breaking outside its expected statistical range (based on a standard deviation envelope). A bullish Expansion Wave means price is pushing above the upper band with sustained force. A bearish Expansion Wave means price is collapsing below the lower band.
The Expansion Wave value is rendered as a cyan/teal fill on the oscillator — brighter at the extremes, fading toward the midline at 50.
🟣 Momentum
An RSI-based line (default 21-period) that tracks the underlying directional strength. For a long signal, the indicator looks for:
The Momentum line recently touched or crossed the Momentum Oversold level (default 30)
Momentum is now rising
Momentum has recovered above its own moving average
The opposite logic applies for shorts. The Momentum line is shown in purple.
🟠 Volatility
A Stochastic RSI-based line that tracks short-term exhaustion. It tells you whether momentum is entering from a depleted (oversold) or exhausted (overbought) state — a key filter to avoid chasing into extended moves.
The Volatility line is shown in orange.
🟢/🔴 Order Flow
Cumulative Volume Delta — the difference between estimated buying and selling volume — normalized and z-scored so it is comparable across assets and timeframes. Rising, positive Order Flow confirms buy-side dominance. Falling, negative Order Flow confirms sell-side dominance.
Order Flow is shown as green or red bars centered at the 50 midline.
Signal Logic at a Glance
LONG signal fires when:
✅ Expansion Wave is bullish (expanding upward)
✅ Momentum line is recovering from Oversold zone
✅ Order Flow is rising (buy pressure increasing)
✅ Volatility line is not overbought
✅ Divergence detected (optional soft score boost)
✅ Score ≥ Base Min Score (Long)
✅ Momentum not in the Chop Zone
✅ Regime Filter allows longs (if enabled)
✅ Cooldown has elapsed since last signal
Each of these conditions can be tuned or toggled. The Base Min Score is the primary dial for controlling signal frequency vs. quality.
