Price Acceleration Indicator (PAI)
I have designed a "Price Acceleration" Indicator (PAI). It tracks the second derivative in price movements. This is different from ROC as that one measures Price Velocity rather than Acceleration. This Indicator should give you an idea of when the steam has come out of a move, or when one is getting started. For example, if RSI is reaching overbought, and PAI is Negative, that means the move is slowing down and likely to give in to the opposite direction soon.

UPDATED to have Buy and Sell threshold lines:
When the Indicator crosses the Buy Line, you can enter a Buy trade and expect to exit once the Indicator has peaked towards +1.
When the Indicator crosses the Sell Line, you can enter a Sell trade and expect to exit once the Indicator has peaked towards -1.
When the Indicator crosses the Buy Line, you can enter a Buy trade and expect to exit once the Indicator has peaked towards +1.
When the Indicator crosses the Sell Line, you can enter a Sell trade and expect to exit once the Indicator has peaked towards -1.

UPDATE: Indicator now adds as a separate pane automatically. I've also updated the BUY/SELL Threshold lines to automatically be set at 30% of the previous peaks. This will give you an idea when the price is accelerating in one direction or another.
