Catch the big move before it starts. The Squeeze reads volatility with Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels and a momentum histogram to spot when price is coiling — then shows you the instant it's ready to break out, and which way.

Features
Be ready before the move
Markets coil before they run. The Squeeze shows you the coil, then the release — and which direction the energy is heading.
Momentum histogram
A momentum histogram shows direction and strength at a glance — above the zero line the trend is up, below it the trend is down.
Squeeze dots
Small red and blue dots along the zero line tell you when the market is in a squeeze setup — and the moment it fires.
Breakout capture
Because it's a volatility indicator, it captures the breakout move — helping you see what the next move is and get in early.
Trend & strength read
Quickly identify trends and how strong they are, so you can locate entries, place stops, and plan exits with confidence.
Includes Renko Bars
Comes with the Trading123 Renko Bars, which pair beautifully with the Squeeze — though it works on any bar type you prefer.
How it works
The coil, then the release
When the Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channels, volatility has dropped and price is squeezing — the dots on the zero line turn on. That's your heads-up that a big move is building.
When the squeeze fires, the dot flips and the momentum histogram tells you the direction: light-green bars above the zero line signal a long, red below signal a short. You get the timing and the direction in one clean panel.
Add it to your chartsRed dots = squeezing. Green dot fires → momentum expands up.

What is a "squeeze"?
A squeeze is a period of low volatility where the Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channels. Price is coiling in a narrow range — and it usually precedes a significant move in one direction or the other.
How do I read the histogram and dots?
The dots on the zero line show whether the market is in a squeeze; the histogram shows momentum. When momentum is above the zero line the trend is up (light-green bars are a long signal), and below the line it's down.
Does it need Renko bars?
No — it works on any bar type. That said, it includes the Trading123 Renko Bars, which pair especially well with the Squeeze for the cleanest read.
Which platform and markets does it support?
It's a native NinjaScript indicator for NinjaTrader 8. Because it's based on volatility and momentum, it works across futures, forex, stocks and crypto on any timeframe.
Are there recurring fees?
No. It's a one-time license with free updates for the lifetime of your license — no monthly or yearly renewals.
