NAMI-D — On-Chart Companion Overlay
Get Access →NAMI-D is the on-chart companion overlay to the NAMI momentum oscillator. It brings NAMI's divergence detection, momentum peak markers, and market microstructure visualizations directly onto your price chart — eliminating the need to constantly switch between panes and giving you real-time visual confirmation alongside price action.
NAMI-D displays momentum signals in real time, helping you spot high-probability trades without taking your eyes off the price bars. Perfect for traders who want momentum confirmation, VWAP analysis, and volume profile integration without cluttering their chart.
What NAMI-D Does
NAMI-D plots NAMI oscillator signals, market structure analysis, and volume profile overlays directly on the price chart, displaying:
- Momentum Peak Markers: Green diamonds above bars indicate potential sell peaks; red circles below bars indicate potential buy dips
- 4-Type Divergence Detection: Regular bull, hidden bull, regular bear, and hidden bear divergences plotted directly on price
- VWAP Overlay: Multi-anchor support (Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century) with cyan coloring above price and gold below
- MFI Overlay: Money Flow Index dynamically scaled around price midpoint — green above mid, red below mid
- Multi-Timeframe Display: Works seamlessly on any timeframe where NAMI is active
How to Use NAMI-D
Step 1: Have NAMI on Your Chart
NAMI-D requires the NAMI oscillator to be active on your chart. If you don't have NAMI yet, purchase it from the NAMI Trading store first.
Step 2: Add NAMI-D as an Overlay
Add NAMI-D to your chart as an overlay (on the price pane, not in a separate pane). The overlay will automatically detect your NAMI settings and synchronize with it.
Step 3: Watch for Momentum Peak Markers
As NAMI identifies momentum peaks, NAMI-D displays green diamond markers above potential sell peaks and red circle markers below potential buy dips. Use these as visual entry/exit confirmation points.
Step 4: Confirm with Price Action
Combine NAMI-D signals with support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or volume confirmation for higher-probability trades. Use price action as the final arbiter of entry quality.
Optional: Enable Divergence Lines
Turn on divergence line display to see potential hidden or regular divergences drawn directly on the chart. These are excellent for spotting reversals before they happen.

Use Cases
Fast-Paced Day Trading
On lower timeframes (5m, 15m), NAMI-D markers provide instant visual entry points without needing to glance at the oscillator pane. Perfect for scalpers and day traders.
Swing Trading with Momentum Confirmation
Use NAMI-D on daily or 4-hour charts to see momentum signals directly where price is acting. Eliminates switching between panes and keeps your focus on the chart.
Multi-Timeframe Trading
Run NAMI-D on both your macro timeframe (4H, 1D) and entry timeframe (1H, 15m). Use macro timeframe divergences as bias, then enter on entry timeframe signals.
Price Action + Momentum Confluence
Combine NAMI-D signals with key support/resistance levels, trendlines, and candlestick patterns. Wait for signals to appear AT levels for maximum probability.
