The Chande Momentum oscillator for NinjaTrader does not differ widely in concept when compared to the RSI or Stochastic indicator. All of them operate on the concept that a potential price reversal could occur at the overbought (Supply Zone) or the oversold (Demand Zone) levels. However, momentum is measured differently by simply counting up and down period and then dividing that by the total sum. This also, allows the indicator to not only measure momentum but potentially trend as well. This is typically identified by a strong movement in either direction above or below the zero level.
