Voodoo Juice
Walkthrough for the Voodoo Juice indicator
What is Voodoo Juice?
Voodoo Juice is a triple-filter momentum system that combines three powerful indicators into simple bar colors. Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple oscillators, it does all the analysis behind the scenes and shows you just what matters:
Green bars: All momentum systems agree - look for long trades
Dark red bars: All systems agree bearish - look for short trades
White bars: Systems disagree - stay out and wait
The magic is in what it filters OUT, not just what it signals.
How It Works
Voodoo Juice combines three key momentum measurements:
Advanced Momentum Detection: Uses sophisticated smoothing to identify real momentum shifts while filtering out market noise. This eliminates the jerky signals you get from basic indicators.
Fast Confirmation System: Adds a quick momentum filter to ensure recent price action supports the main signal. Both systems must agree before you get a colored bar.
Institutional Sentiment: Incorporates real-time data showing whether smart money is buying or selling. This keeps you aligned with institutional flow instead of fighting against it.
Only when ALL THREE systems agree do you get a signal. This triple-confirmation approach is why Voodoo Juice signals are so reliable.
Visual System
The beauty of Voodoo Juice is its simplicity:
Green Bars: All momentum systems bullish - time to look for long entries or hold existing positions
Red Bars: All systems bearish - look for short opportunities or exit longs
White Bars: The most important signal - systems disagree, so stay out. This is when most traders lose money trying to force trades.
You also get clean entry labels:
'Long-Vdoo' appears when bullish momentum first kicks in
'Short-Vdoo' appears when bearish momentum starts
No guessing, no interpretation needed.
Settings and Configuration
Voodoo Juice keeps it simple - most of the complex calculations happen automatically. The main settings you can adjust are:
Pane Labels: The long and short flags on your chart
Color Customization: Choose your preferred colors for bullish and bearish signals
Alert Settings: We'll cover this in detail next
The beauty is that the core momentum parameters are pre-optimized, so you don't need to tinker with complex settings that could break the system.
Setting Up Alerts
Here's how to set up alerts so you never miss a Voodoo Juice signal:
Right-click on your chart and select 'Add Alert'
Choose 'Voodoo Juice - TradeBeacon' as your condition
Select either 'Long' for bullish signals or 'Short' for bearish signals
Choose your notification method - email, SMS, or app notifications
Set your alert message - We recommend something like 'Voodoo Long Signal on [SYMBOL]'
Pro tip: Set up separate alerts for both long and short signals, and consider adding a 'Flat' alert to know when momentum turns neutral.
You can also send these alerts directly to Discord or other trading platforms for automated notifications.
Working with Trendbot and Turbo Mode
Trendbot, Voodoo Juice, and Turbo Mode are all designed to work in concert with each other. Trendbot actually has Voodoo Juice in the Dashboard "confluence" section. And Turbo Mode is based on if the 5 minute, 10 minute, and 1 hour Voodoo colors are all the same. Our recommendation? Add them all to your chart, watch all of the videos, and see how they can greatly improve your success.
Trading Strategy
Here's a simple but effective strategy using Voodoo Juice:
Entry Rules:
Only enter trades during colored bar periods (green or red)
Wait for the signal labels for precise timing
Never trade during white bar periods
Risk Management:
Use green bars to hold long positions longer
Use red bars to hold short positions longer
Exit or tighten stops when bars turn white
Best Timeframes: Voodoo Juice works on any timeframe, but I find it most effective on 5-minute for day trading and 1-hour for swing trading.
Common Mistakes
Avoid these critical errors:
Trading white bars - This is when most retail traders lose money
Fighting the color - Don't look for shorts during green bars or longs during red bars
Ignoring the labels - Wait for the 'Long-Vdoo' or 'Short-Vdoo' confirmation
Overcomplicating - The system is designed to be simple, don't add unnecessary indicators
Conclusion
Voodoo Juice solves the biggest problem in trading - false signals and overtrading. By combining multiple momentum systems into simple visual cues, it keeps you on the right side of market flow while keeping you out of choppy, uncertain conditions.
Remember: Green means go, red means sell, white means wait. It doesn't get simpler than that.
