state

The State section controls the thresholds that define what the indicator considers "trending" vs. "choppy" for both the Momentum and Volatility pillars.

Settings

Setting	Default	Range	Description
Block Chop Zone	✅ On	On/Off	Suppresses all signals when the Momentum line is in the chop dead zone
Chop Zone Low	35	0–100	Lower boundary of the Momentum chop zone
Chop Zone High	65	0–100	Upper boundary of the Momentum chop zone
Momentum Oversold	30	0–100	Momentum level that must be reached before a long recovery counts
Momentum Overbought	70	0–100	Momentum level that must be reached before a short rejection counts
Volatility Overbought	80	0–100	Volatility line level considered overbought (blocks longs above this)
Volatility Oversold	20	0–100	Volatility line level considered oversold (blocks shorts below this)

Notes on Threshold Interaction

• The Chop Zone boundaries and the Momentum Oversold/Overbought levels are independent. The chop zone defines where signals are suppressed entirely. The Oversold/Overbought levels define the extremes that Momentum must visit before a recovery or rejection qualifies.

• Avoid setting Chop Zone Low higher than Momentum Oversold — this creates a situation where oversold Momentum readings are inside the chop zone and can never trigger a signal.

• The horizontal dashed lines on the oscillator panel show Momentum Oversold (green dashed) and Momentum Overbought (red dashed).

• The horizontal solid lines show Volatility Overbought (red solid) and Volatility Oversold (green solid).

• The horizontal dotted lines show Chop Zone Low and Chop Zone High.
