RED-E Market Structure (Pro V2)

RED-E Market Structure - Comprehensive Technical Analysis System

⚠️ EDUCATIONAL TOOL - NO GUARANTEES
This indicator is designed for educational purposes to help traders learn technical analysis concepts. It does not predict future price movements or guarantee profitable trades. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

📊 WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES

This indicator combines multiple standard technical analysis methods into a unified system for analyzing market structure, momentum, volume dynamics, and key price levels. Rather than adding 10 separate indicators to your chart, this consolidates related information into one cohesive interface where each component informs the others.

🔧 TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY - HOW IT WORKS

1️⃣ MOMENTUM CANDLE COLORING (6 Levels)

Calculation Method:
- Compares close vs EMA(9) and EMA(21)
- Applies RSI(14) thresholds for strength
- Color codes: Royal Blue (strongest bull) → Cyan → Green → Yellow → Orange → Red (strongest bear) → White (neutral)

Formula Logic:
IF close > EMA(9) AND close > EMA(21) AND close > open:
RSI > 70 = Level 3 Bull (Royal Blue)
RSI 60-70 = Level 2 Bull (Cyan)
RSI < 60 = Level 1 Bull (Green)

Purpose: Visualizes momentum strength by combining trend (EMAs), candle direction, and overbought/oversold conditions (RSI).

2️⃣ ENTRY SIGNAL LABELS

Calculation Method:
- Uses EMA alignment: EMA(9) > EMA(21) > EMA(50) for bullish
- Filters RSI to avoid extremes
- Requires confirming candle

BUY Signal Logic:
IF close > EMA(9) AND RSI between 40-70 AND EMA(9) > EMA(21) > EMA(50) AND close > open
THEN: Display "BUY" label

Purpose: Identifies potential entries when multiple trend and momentum conditions align. This is standard multi-confirmation technical analysis.

3️⃣ VOLUME DELTA PERCENTAGE

Calculation Method:
FOR each bar in lookback period (default 20):
IF close > open: add volume to bullish_volume
IF close < open: add volume to bearish_volume

bullish_percent = (bullish_volume / total_volume) × 100

Purpose: Quantifies buying vs selling pressure as percentages. Shows if volume supports the current trend.
Display: "🟢65.3% | 🔴34.7%" in dashboard

4️⃣ PRE-MARKET HIGH/LOW TRACKING

Calculation Method:
1. Detect pre-market session (4:00-9:30 AM ET)
2. Track highest high during pre-market
3. Track lowest low during pre-market
4. Draw horizontal lines when market opens

Purpose: Pre-market levels often act as support/resistance during regular hours. This automates their tracking and visualization.

5️⃣ OPENING RANGE BREAKOUT (ORB)

Calculation Method:
1. User sets start time (default 9:30 AM) and duration (default 15 min)
2. Track highest high and lowest low during this period
3. Draw box and extend lines

Purpose: The opening range breakout is a well-documented day trading strategy. First X minutes establish a range, and breakouts often signal directional moves.

6️⃣ SUPPORT/RESISTANCE TRENDLINES

Calculation Method:
1. Identify pivot highs: ta.pivothigh(high, 5, 5)
2. Identify pivot lows: ta.pivotlow(low, 5, 5)
3. Connect last two pivot highs = Resistance (red)
4. Connect last two pivot lows = Support (blue)

Purpose: Automatically connects significant pivot points. Based on standard pivot analysis where price respects these levels.

7️⃣ GAMMA ZONE DETECTION

Calculation Method:
1. Calculate 30-min range: (high - low)
2. Calculate 10-period SMA of range
3. Calculate ratio: current_range / average_range

IF ratio < (1.0 / sensitivity): HIGH GAMMA = Low volatility
IF ratio > (1.0 × sensitivity): LOW GAMMA = High volatility

Purpose: Approximates options gamma effects. High gamma = dealers hedge more = suppressed volatility. Low gamma = less hedging = potential explosive moves.

8️⃣ TAKE PROFIT LEVELS (5 Levels + ATR Stop Loss)

Calculation Method:
LONG: TP = entry_price × (1 + percentage/100)
SHORT: TP = entry_price × (1 - percentage/100)
Stop Loss (ATR): entry ± (ATR(14) × multiplier)

Purpose: Automatically calculates percentage-based targets and volatility-adjusted stops. ATR adapts stop to current market conditions.

9️⃣ THE STRAT PATTERN RECOGNITION

Calculation Method:
Compare current bar to previous:
- Strat 3 (outside bar): high > high[1] AND low < low[1]
- Strat 1 (inside bar): high ≤ high[1] AND low ≥ low[1]
- Strat 2 (directional): All others

Purpose: The Strat is a price action system categorizing bars by relationship to previous bars. This automates classification.

🔟 FIBONACCI RETRACEMENTS

Calculation Method:
1. Find highest high in lookback (default 30 bars)
2. Find lowest low in lookback
3. Calculate: 0.0, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0 levels

Purpose: Standard Fibonacci tool. These ratios are commonly used support/resistance in technical analysis.

1️⃣1️⃣ MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS

Calculation Method:
FOR each timeframe (default 15m, 1H, 4H):
Check if close > EMA(9) on that timeframe
IF true: "BULLISH", else: "BEARISH"

Purpose: Shows trend alignment across timeframes using Pine's request.security(). Common confirmation technique.

💡 WHY THESE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER

This indicator's originality lies in its unified system approach:

1. TREND IDENTIFICATION (EMAs, MTF) - Shows direction
2. MOMENTUM MEASUREMENT (RSI, candles) - Shows strength
3. VOLUME CONFIRMATION (Volume Delta) - Shows conviction
4. KEY LEVELS (PM, ORB, Fib, S/R) - Shows decision points
5. RISK MANAGEMENT (TP levels, ATR stops) - Shows exits

VALUE OF INTEGRATION:
Rather than 10 separate indicators creating chart clutter, this consolidates related concepts where each component provides different information that, when viewed together, gives a more complete market picture.

Example Integration:
- Entry signal appears (EMA + RSI aligned)
- Volume Delta confirms (more buying than selling)
- MTF shows higher timeframes agree
- TP levels auto-calculate with good risk:reward
- Support trendline nearby provides stop reference

⚙️ CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

All features independently toggleable:
- EMAs: Adjust lengths (9, 21, 50, 200), colors, widths
- RSI: Change overbought/oversold levels (70/30)
- Volume Delta: Adjust lookback period (20)
- ORB: Set custom start time, duration, timezone
- Gamma: Adjust sensitivity (1-10)
- TP Levels: Customize all 5 percentages
- Dashboard: Reposition, resize, recolor

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

📖 HOW TO USE

Step 1 - Assess Context:
- Check MTF Dashboard for alignment
- Check EMA indicator for trend
- Check Gamma Zone for volatility expectation

Step 2 - Identify Setups:
- Wait for BUY/SELL signal
- Check Volume Delta matches direction
- Verify RSI not extreme (30-70)
- Look for support/resistance confluence

Step 3 - Evaluate Risk:Reward:
- Review TP3 R:R ratio (target 2:1+)
- Check stop loss placement
- Ensure risk acceptable

Step 4 - Monitor:
- Track P&L % in real-time
- Use TP levels as potential exits
- Adjust stops based on S/R

⚠️ LIMITATIONS & REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

This indicator does NOT:
- Predict future price movements
- Guarantee profitable trades
- Work in all market conditions
- Replace proper education and practice

This indicator CAN:
- Display standard technical indicators in organized way
- Automate common calculations
- Visualize multiple analysis methods simultaneously
- Help learn how different indicators relate

Key Understanding:
All technical indicators use historical data. They help identify patterns and conditions but cannot predict the future. Successful trading requires risk management, psychology, and experience—not just indicators.
