TTM Squeeze is an indicator to time entries based on volatility.
TMM Squeeze might well be one of the best and most overlooked indicator. It was created by famous trader John Carter and is also used by many traders like Nathan Bear.
Why is the TTM Squeeze indicator important? Because in trading correct timing entries might be more important than picking the right direction. This is a concept that is not very well understood in the trading community. Most trader think that they will make money if they can predict market direction. Only very experienced traders like Nathan Bear are well aware of the importance of timing to make money in the market. And the purpose of TTM Squeeze indicator is exactly to time entries and this is why this indicator is so important.
The indicator will plot red and white points (squeeze line in the center) and histogram (above and below the center line).
When the indicator draws red points then it means the market is ready to shoot (see example in screenshot).
Indicator also draws histogram showing momentum. This is an indication of the direction of the next move. The histogram tell us about the strength of the momentum in price.
You can customize colors for the indicator, both for the squeeze line and the histogram.

The higher the time frame you choose, the smaller the quantity of signals.

The indicator will give few signals but they are quite accurate.
