LTF Inducement Levels [QuantVue]

26 jul

Inducement refers to a market manipulation tactic where large institutions or "smart money" create price movements that induce or lure retail traders into taking positions that are ultimately unfavorable. This concept is based on the idea that the market is moved by institutional traders who have the power and capital to manipulate prices to their advantage.

Within a dominant trend, there are frequently movements that go against the prevailing direction. These opposing moves are often driven by liquidity hunting on lower time frames. The price will experience a bounce or rejection, then aim for a previous short-term high or low before resuming its movement in alignment with the longer-term trend. Inducement involves specifically targeting these short-term highs or lows, which are potential zones where stop-loss orders may be located.

The LTF Inducement Levels indicator is designed to identify and display potential lower time frame (LTF) inducement levels on your chart. This indicator helps traders recognize price points where market manipulation might occur without needing multiple charts open.



Once a lower time frame pivot has been crossed, the level is removed from the current chart.

Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The indicator uses a lower timeframe (LTF) to identify pivot highs and pivot lows, providing a granular view of potential inducement levels.

Configurable Parameters:
Lower Timeframe (LTF): The user can select the lower timeframe for analysis.
Pivot Length: The length used for identifying pivots.
Number of Pivots to Show: Limits the number of pivots displayed on the chart to avoid clutter.

Dynamic Pivot Management:
The indicator dynamically manages the pivots, adding new ones and removing old ones based on the configured maximum number of pivots to show.
It creates lines and labels for each pivot, which are updated as new pivots are formed or crossed.

Inducement Levels:
Pivot Highs: Marked with red lines and labeled with the price value.
Pivot Lows: Marked with green lines and labeled with the price value.

Cross Detection:
The indicator checks if the current price has crossed any of the identified pivots.
Once a pivot is crossed, the corresponding line and label are deleted.
