40+ Year Old Momentum Trading Concept Using thinkScript

In 1978, Wilder created a Momentum Concept to help predict when price is likely to start accelerating or decelerating. We'll translate this 40+ year old concept into a ThinkOrSwim indicator and scan, using thinkScript code.

For those interested, here's a link to read the book - New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems (pg. 53): https://books.mec.biz/tmp/books/218XOTBWY3FEW2CT3EVR.PDF

The basis of the momentum concept is tracking a value which Wilder calls the "Momentum Factor." The momentum factor is the difference between the closing price today, compared to the closing price two days ago.

The difference in values there helps to get a quick gauge as to whether or not price is decelerating, compared to where it has been. There are more rules and nuances, which we will discuss in this tutorial.
