Blai5 Astro: A Volume-Based Composite Trend and Momentum Indicator

Article ProRealCode

Summary

Blai5 Astro combines the Money Flow Index, RSI, stochastic, and a Bollinger-based price oscillator into a composite series. It smooths that series with an exponential average, derives a histogram and a Wilder-smoothed version, then applies adjustable-period momentum calculations. The indicator displays two component lines, MF and MM, plus Astro, their difference. The explanation says volume data is needed for correct calculation and presents the components as a ribbon and histogram-like signal.

The suggested interpretation is that one component above the other indicates a positive time bias, while crossings and Astro’s zero-line crossings can mark changes. Other possible readings include extremes, slope, and divergence, with the cycle period adjustable for the asset and timeframe. These are qualitative usage suggestions, not tested trading rules: the document provides no performance data, parameter validation, or entry and risk-management framework. Its claims should therefore be treated as indicator guidance rather than evidence of predictive edge.

Key ideas

  • The indicator combines money flow, RSI, stochastic, and a Bollinger-based oscillator.
  • Its smoothed composite generates two momentum lines and their difference, Astro.
  • The author describes line ordering and zero-line crossings as directional signals.
  • The cycle period can be adjusted, and the explanation says volume is required for correct calculation.
  • The document gives no empirical performance evidence or complete trading and risk rules.
