Learn About SVX
SVX (Sentiment Velocity Index) is a momentum and slope visualization framework designed to highlight transitions from neutral to momentum-driven price action.

Core
What SVX Shows
- EMA Structure (8/20/40/100/200): defines market alignment and bias.
- Slope (rate of change): reveals when momentum is building, maintaining, stalling, or possibly reversing.
- Pre-move markers: highlight potential high probability transition zones after indecision.
- Context, not signals: SVX isn’t a signal system, it’s a complete strategy and framework for successful decision making.
Concepts
Heiken Ashi
HA candles reduce noise so momentum reads are cleaner and more powerful: flat tops/bottoms signal conviction, dojis hint indecision. Overlaid with actual real candle close HA candles provide an edge by themselves. SVX amplifies that clarity, shows true sentiment, while learning patterns you didn't know existed.
The 20 EMA
The 20 EMA is king. It’s fast enough to catch momentum but slow enough to filter noise, making it the benchmark for institutional and professional strategies. Price consistently pulls back to it in trends, reacts to it in ranges, and its slope alone often tells you whether momentum is building, stalling, or reversing.
Slope
Slope is the rate of change of a moving average, it tells you not just where price is, but how aggressively it’s moving there. Institutions and quant systems rely on derivatives of slope because it mathematically describes acceleration and deceleration, the substance of trends.
SVX Slope
Most tools color backgrounds with ATR or Supertrend math, which reacts after the move. SVX slope is derived from proprietary code utilizing actual closing price movement and velocity, making it much cleaner in the beginning phase of the slope with actual price action. You’re reading the true, mathematical rate of change in real time.
Sessions
SVX can limit to specific sessions (e.g., 9:30–11:00 ET) to avoid noise or low volume bursts and emphasize cleaner momentum behavior. High volume, high participation sessions such as first hour and last hour of US Session are a must. SVX teaches you to not fear the opening bell.
This Matters for Traders
Contrary to what many say, price isn’t random chaos. Markets follow physics like everything else. Trends are momentum and inertia, slope is acceleration, and the 20 EMA is equilibrium. Price runs on stored energy, just like force and motion in the physical world. SVX measures these shifts in real time, so you’re trading natural law, not guesswork.
Suggested Use
How to Work With SVX
- Use HA for visual clarity (works with standard candles too).
- Read slope + EMA alignment first; only act when structure supports the idea.
- Treat pre-move dot markers and triangle momentum markers as context, not signals.
- You can trade the SVX srategy or integrate it into your own strategy or plan (money management, timing, trade management).
