Star SMC and Price action [ARule]This script is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) + Price Action + VWAP + Swing Zones indicator.
It detects and draws:
✅ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✅ Imbalances (HTF FVG)
✅ BOS / CHoCH (Market Structure)
✅ Internal & Swing Structure
✅ Order Blocks (Internal + Swing)
✅ Equal High / Equal Low (EQH / EQL)
✅ Premium / Discount Zones
✅ Multi-Timeframe High & Low levels
✅ VWAP trend filter
✅ Swing High / Low zones with volume/count filter
✅ Alerts for all major SMC events
👉 Basically:
💎 “All-in-one institutional trading indicator”
✅ 1) HTF FVG / Imbalance System (First Part)
This part:
Uses multiple higher timeframes:
5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W
Detects imbalance (FVG-like gaps)
Draws boxes on chart
Marks mitigated zones
Adds labels like: 5m, 15m, 1H etc.
Logic:
An imbalance forms when:
current high < previous low (gap down)
or
current low > previous high (gap up)
Then it draws a box 📦
✅ 2) Mitigation Logic (Very Important)
Your script checks when FVG is filled:
Options:
Wick filled
Body filled
Half filled
None
Example:
"Wick filled" => low <= imb.open
Meaning:
👉 Price touched the FVG → mark as mitigated.
✅ 3) Smart Money Concepts (SMC Core)
This huge section detects:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
When price breaks previous swing high/low.
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
Trend reversal signal.
Example:
Uptrend → break low → CHoCH bearish
Downtrend → break high → CHoCH bullish
✅ 4) Internal vs Swing Structure
Internal Structure:
Small moves (lower timeframe)
Fast signals ⚡
Swing Structure:
Major trend structure
Strong signals 💪
You can enable/disable both in settings.
✅ 5) Order Blocks (OB)
Detected when structure breaks.
Two types:
🟢 Bullish OB
🔴 Bearish OB
Logic:
Script finds last opposite candle before BOS/CHoCH.
Then draws OB box 📦
Also checks mitigation:
close > OB high → bearish OB broken
close < OB low → bullish OB broken
✅ 6) Equal High / Equal Low (Liquidity)
Detects liquidity zones:
EQH = Equal High
EQL = Equal Low
Logic:
If two highs/lows are close within ATR threshold.
Used for:
👉 Liquidity grab / stop hunt zones.
✅ 7) Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Another System
This is separate from HTF imbalance.
Condition:
currentLow > high → bullish FVG
currentHigh < low → bearish FVG
Draws 2 boxes per FVG.
✅ 8) Premium / Discount Zones
Based on latest swing high & low:
Premium zone = top 50%
Discount zone = bottom 50%
Equilibrium = middle
Used in SMC for entries.
✅ 9) Multi-Timeframe High/Low Levels
Draws:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
✅ 10) VWAP Filter (Your Added Block)
You added:
VWAP Line
vwapValue = ta.vwap(close)
Trend Filter
Bullish → price above VWAP
Bearish → price below VWAP
ATM / ITM / OTM logic
atm_condition = abs(close - vwap) <= 25
Meaning:
ATM = price near VWAP
ITM / OTM = based on VWAP direction
💡 This is NOT real option ATM — it's a conceptual filter.
✅ 11) Swing High / Low Zones (Last Part)
This part:
Detects swing highs & lows using pivot logic
Creates zones (boxes)
Counts touches or volume inside zone
Filters strong zones
Example:
More touches = stronger support/resistance
More volume = institutional interest
✅ What makes this script powerful 💎
It combines:
Concept Purpose
FVG / Imbalance Institutional gaps
BOS / CHoCH Trend change
Order Blocks Smart money zones
EQH/EQL Liquidity
Premium/Discount Entry zones
VWAP Trend filter
Swing Zones Support/Resistance
👉 This is almost like ICT + SMC + Volume + VWAP hybrid.
✅ If you want, I can help you:
I can:
✅ Simplify this script (remove heavy parts)
✅ Add NIFTY / BANKNIFTY option logic
✅ Add Buy/Sell signals
✅ Add scanner (BOS + VWAP + FVG)
✅ Add dashboard table
✅ Optimize performance (reduce lag)
✅ Convert VWAP → real ATM strike logic
✅ Explain any part line-by-line
Volumen
Order Flow Imbalance Oscillator [StrikePriceLabs]Order Flow Imbalance Oscillator is an extension of “Supply and Demand Zones ” that converts institutional supply & demand zone volume into a real-time momentum oscillator.
Instead of plotting zones on price, this script aggregates active bullish and bearish zone deltas and plots their net imbalance:
Imbalance = Total Demand − Total Supply
Positive values → Buyer dominance
Negative values → Seller dominance
Zero line → Market balance
Designed for momentum confirmation, and bias filtering, this indicator works best when used alongside other price action confirmation indicators.
🔹 How to Read & Trade the Signals
1️⃣ Directional Bias
Above Zero Line
Demand zones dominate → bullish bias
Below Zero Line
Supply zones dominate → bearish bias
Near Zero
Compression / balance → expect expansion
Use this as a trade filter, not a trigger.
2️⃣ Breakout Confirmation
Breakout with oscillator expansion → genuine participation
Breakout without oscillator confirmation → high chance of failure or trap
This is my first published indicator.
Feedback, suggestions, and improvement ideas are welcome and appreciated.

Open Interest [OI] & Liquidation Flow█ THE DUAL-ENGINE ARCHITECTURE: A FUSION OF TWO CRITICAL FORCES
The power of this suite comes from its dual-engine design. It isolates and analyzes the two opposing forces that truly drive modern markets: the informed positioning of institutions and the often-misguided sentiment of the retail crowd. A high-probability trade signal is only generated at the precise moment these two forces come into critical conflict.
ENGINE 1: The Open Interest (OI) & Position Flow Engine
This is your lens into the institutional world. Its primary function is to track the flow of money into and out of the market, revealing the true intent of large players.
Live OI Integration: In a groundbreaking feature for TradingView, this engine includes a Smart Symbol Detector that automatically seeks and integrates LIVE Open Interest data for supported markets (CME, Binance, Bybit, etc.). When available, you are seeing a direct feed of net new positions entering the market.
12-Factor Synthetic OI Model: When live OI data is not available, the engine synthesizes a high-fidelity proxy by analyzing 12 distinct factors, including Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), Absorption, Effort vs. Result, and Institutional Bias.
Curvature Analysis: We don't just look at the flow; we analyze its Velocity and
Acceleration . A sharp acceleration in bullish OI Flow is a powerful sign that institutions are aggressively building long positions.
INTERPRETATION: This engine tells you what the "smart money" is doing. A divergence—where price is falling but OI Flow is rising—is a classic sign that institutions are quietly absorbing retail panic, often preceding a violent reversal upwards.
ENGINE 2: The Liquidation Flow & Crowd Engine
This engine operates on a powerful contrarian philosophy: the market is designed to inflict maximum pain on the largest number of participants. It identifies when the retail "herd" is over-leveraged and positioned for a fall.
Crowd Positioning Model: It analyzes factors like extreme RSI levels, deviation from Fair Value (VWAP), and "chase behavior" (e.g., many consecutive bullish candles) to determine when the retail crowd is dangerously over-exposed.
Risk Analysis: It synthesizes multiple risk factors—crowding, momentum divergence, exhaustion—into a single, easy-to-read Liquidation Risk percentage .
Fear & Greed Skew: It measures the volatility skew in the options market to provide a direct gauge of market-wide fear and greed, adding a final layer of sentimental context.
HOW TO USE IT: This is your liquidation radar. When Liquidation Risk is HIGH and the Crowd is positioned heavily LONG, the market is primed for a long squeeze (a liquidation cascade downwards). Conversely, when the Crowd is heavily SHORT, a short squeeze is highly probable.
█ THE SECRET SAUCE: UNIVERSAL ADAPTABILITY
The genius of this engine lies in its ability to work on any asset, in any timeframe, without manual recalibration. This is achieved through Z-Score Normalization . Every piece of data is converted from a raw value into a statistical score representing its deviation from the "norm." A +2.0 sigma event represents an extreme outlier, whether it's on a 1-minute chart of a crypto asset or a daily chart of a stock. This makes the signals universally comparable and allows the engine to automatically adapt to the unique volatility and character of any market.
█ THE ARSENAL: MASTERING THE VISUALS & ON-CHART TOOLS
Every visual element is a data-rich component designed for rapid, intuitive interpretation.
The Lower Pane Visualizer
This is your primary intelligence dashboard, with four distinct modes to view the underlying market forces:
Classic Flow (Default): A multi-column view perfect for spotting divergences between price and the underlying flow of money and sentiment.
Heatmap Matrix: A color-density grid designed to identify "cluster" events where multiple engines light up simultaneously, signaling institutional consensus.
Oscillator Pro: A zero-centered line visualization for traders who prefer crossover and momentum-style analysis.
Delta Waterfall: A unique cascading visualization that shows the cumulative "weight" of the market, stacking the pressure from each engine to reveal the dominant force.
Main Chart Overlays
BUY/SELL Signals: These are the primary, high-conviction reversal signals. They are not simple crossovers; they are the result of a rigorous confirmation process where institutional OI Flow directly conflicts with a vulnerable retail Liquidation Flow.
Minor Triangles (▲▼): Secondary momentum signals that are excellent for scalping, confirming a trend, or adding to a winning position.
Supply/Demand Zones: When a strong, institutionally-backed signal fires, the script automatically plots a defended zone (Red for Supply, Green for Demand), highlighting future high-probability reversal areas.
Key Levels: Automatically extends lines from significant highs and lows where a major flow reversal occurred, highlighting critical support and resistance.
High Risk Diamonds (💎): A critical risk management tool. These markers appear when conditions are ripe for a liquidation cascade. This is an explicit warning to take profits or stand aside.
The Dashboard (HUD)
Your at-a-glance command center, displaying real-time, mission-critical data:
Z-Scores for OI Flow Velocity & Acceleration: See the raw, normalized momentum of the institutional flow.
Crowd Sentiment Status: Instantly know if the market is dangerously "CROWDED" or balanced.
Liquidation Risk %: A numerical gauge from 0-100% showing the probability of a violent flush.
Live Data Status: Confirms whether the engine is using LIVE OI data or the PRO synthetic model.
Optimizer Readout: When enabled, shows the backtest results of your current settings.
█ THE COMMAND CENTER: MASTERING THE INPUTS
This suite offers deep customization for the professional trader.
Analysis Length: The "memory" of the flow engine. Use shorter lengths (10-14) for scalping and longer lengths (21+) for swing trading.
Signal Sensitivity: A master control to switch between Conservative (fewer, higher-quality signals), Normal (balanced), and Aggressive (more frequent signals for scalping) modes.
Display Toggles: Individually enable or disable any of the core components in the lower pane to create your perfect analytical view.
Overlay Controls: Individually toggle all on-chart visuals and control the maximum number of Zones and Key Levels to maintain a clean workspace.
█ THE OPTIMIZER ENGINE: VALIDATE BEFORE YOU TRADE
Confidence comes from data. The built-in Optimizer Engine is a powerful backtester that runs on your chart's visible data. It allows you to rapidly test different ATR-based Take Profit and Stop Loss parameters, providing key metrics like Win Rate, Profit Factor, and a proprietary Stability Rating ( ROBUST, STABLE, FRAGILE, OVERFIT ) to help you find the most statistically sound settings for your specific asset and timeframe before risking capital.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
This indicator was born from a single, guiding principle: to win in modern markets, you must stop listening to the noise of price and start analyzing the signal of flow. Price is where amateurs look; flow is where professionals find their edge. This tool is our attempt to level the playing field, translating the opaque world of derivatives and institutional positioning into a clear, intuitive, and actionable intelligence system.
This tool is for the serious student of the market—the trader who seeks to understand the "why" behind the move, not just the "what."
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS AN ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TOOL: This indicator provides intelligence, not financial advice. It should be used as a core component of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes your own analysis of market structure and risk management.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose. This indicator does not guarantee profits.
SIGNAL HIERARCHY IS KEY: Treat the main BUY/SELL labels as your primary signals. Use the minor triangles to add to positions or for scalping. Use the High Risk diamonds as a signal to reduce exposure and take profits.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS: For the highest probability setups, use the indicator on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1H) to establish an institutional bias, then take signals on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m) that align with that bias.
"The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."

Mag 7 VWAP TableThe **Mag 7 VWAP Table** is a real-time monitoring dashboard for the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. It provides a clean, professional table on your chart showing whether each stock is trading above or below its daily VWAP, its current price, and its intraday performance compared to yesterday's close.
---
## **Indicator Overview**
This script acts as a **market health dashboard**. By tracking the seven most influential stocks in the NASDAQ (AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, META, TSLA), it gives traders an immediate sense of market sentiment. If the majority of these stocks are "ABOVE VWAP" and green, the broader market is likely in a strong bullish state.
### **Core Utility & Value**
* **Institutional Alignment:** VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is the primary benchmark used by institutional traders. Knowing if the Mag 7 are above or below this level tells you if big money is buying or selling the "generals" of the market.
* **Screen Real Estate Efficiency:** Instead of opening seven different charts, you can monitor the most important tickers in the corner of your main trading screen.
* **Performance Tracking:** Real-time percentage change allows you to spot which of the tech giants is leading or lagging during the session.

Breadth Ratio📊 Breadth Ratio (NYSE & NASDAQ)
Breadth Ratio is a market internals indicator that displays real-time Up Volume vs Down Volume ratios for both the NYSE and NASDAQ, helping traders quickly gauge institutional participation and overall market strength.
Instead of plotting noisy lines, this indicator presents the data in a clear, color-coded table, making it ideal for intraday and swing traders who want instant context without cluttering their chart.
🔍 How It Works
Uses official Up Volume (UVOL) and Down Volume (DVOL) data
Calculates a signed ratio:
Positive values = bullish volume dominance
Negative values = bearish volume dominance
Displays NYSE and NASDAQ breadth side-by-side
Automatically updates on the last bar only for optimal performance
🟢 Color Logic
Green background → Bullish volume pressure (Up Volume > Down Volume)
Red background → Bearish volume pressure (Down Volume > Up Volume)
💡 How to Use It
Trend confirmation – Strong ratios support price direction
Reversal warnings – Weak or diverging breadth can precede turns
Risk management – Avoid longs when breadth is strongly negative (and vice versa)
Market context – Excellent companion to price action, VWAP, and index futures
⚙️ Features
✔ NYSE & NASDAQ volume breadth
✔ Clean table-based display
✔ No chart clutter
✔ Works on all timeframes
✔ Ideal for futures, indices, and ETFs
⚠️ Disclaimer

Pittillo A+ Scanner (Move + Volume + VWAP/EMA + No-Chop)Pittillo A+ Scanner — Move + Volume + VWAP/EMA + No-Chop
Pittillo A+ Scanner is a high-selectivity intraday scanner designed to surface A+ trade conditions only — filtering out chop, low-volume noise, and random price action that destroys consistency.
This indicator is built for traders who value patience, structure, and confirmation, not constant signals.
🔍 What It Looks For
An A+ signal will only appear when ALL of the following are present:
• Market Movement
• ATR expansion vs baseline (no dead tape)
• Real Participation
• Relative volume above average
• Trend Alignment
• 8/20 EMA structure
• VWAP confirmation (above for longs, below for shorts)
• Strength Confirmation
• ADX filter to avoid range-bound chop
• Price Structure
• Clean candles (filters dojis / overlapping garbage)
• Valid Trigger
• Breakout continuation or
• VWAP rejection with strong candle close
• Session Awareness
• Optional time-window filter to avoid low-quality hours
If conditions are not objectively favorable, the scanner stays quiet by design.
⸻
🎯 A+ Scoring System
Each setup is graded with an internal A+ score (0–100) based on:
• ATR expansion
• Relative volume
• ADX strength
• Bollinger Band expansion
• Candle quality
• Trend alignment
Signals only trigger when the score meets or exceeds the user-defined A+ threshold, ensuring quality over quantity.
⸻
🟢 Visual Signals
• A+ LONG → Triangle up + green background
• A+ SHORT → Triangle down + red background
• EMAs (8/20) and VWAP plotted for full context
No signal = no trade.
⸻
🧠 Philosophy
This indicator is intentionally conservative.
It is designed to:
• Protect capital during chop
• Reduce overtrading
• Encourage discipline
If you’re looking for constant alerts, this is not for you.
If you’re looking for clean, repeatable opportunities, this is exactly that.
⸻
📌 Best Use Cases
• Index futures (ES, NQ, MNQ, MES)
• SPX / SPY / QQQ intraday trading
• Traders who already respect VWAP + EMA structure
Works best on 2m–15m timeframes during active market hours.
⸻
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator does not predict markets or guarantee profits.
It is a filtering and confirmation tool, not a substitute for risk management or a trading plan.
ES 1m EMA Bounce Scalp - High RR v6# MES/ES 1-Minute EMA Bounce Scalp – High RR with Partial & Trailing (100% Win Rate in Backtest Oct 2025–Jan 2026)
**Overview**
This is a high-probability, mean-reversion / trend-continuation scalping system designed for the Micro E-mini S&P 500 (MES) or E-mini S&P 500 (ES) on the **1-minute chart**. It enters on pullback bounces off the 20-period EMA during intraday sessions, using RSI momentum confirmation, volume filter, and ADX trend strength to select high-quality setups.
The core edge comes from:
- Tight initial stop (4 points)
- 50% partial profit at 1:1 RR (locks in quick wins and moves stop to breakeven)
- Remaining 50% trails aggressively (trail offset 2 points) to let winners run to 8–10 points (1:2+ effective RR)
**Key Features**
- Longs & Shorts symmetric (pullback bounce logic)
- Trades only during US RTH (9:30–16:00 ET)
- Filters: RSI >40 (long) / <60 (short), volume > 20-SMA, ADX(14) >20
- No martingale, no pyramiding, one trade at a time
- Bracket + trailing managed automatically in Pine Script
**Backtest Highlights** (Oct 23, 2025 – Jan 21, 2026 on ES1!)
- Total trades: 107
- Win rate: 100% (0 losers)
- Net profit (1 contract): $20,227.50 after commissions
- Commissions: $322.50 (~$3 round-trip)
- Max open (floating) drawdown: –$3,275 (never realized a loss)
- Avg P&L per trade: ~$189 (≈3.78 points net)
- Longs: 45 trades, avg hold ~2.2 hours
- Shorts: 62 trades, avg hold ~8.7 hours
- Largest single win: scaled equivalent to strong runners
**Risk & Position Sizing**
- Initial stop: 4 points (~$200 risk on 1 ES mini / $20 on 1 MES)
- Recommended live size: 1 ES contract (very conservative on $100k account)
- Max floating DD in test: ~65 points open loss (well under typical $3,000 trailing DD rules)
- Designed to respect strict drawdown limits — partials & trailing move most trades to breakeven quickly
**Important Notes & Disclaimer**
- 100% win rate over 107 trades is exceptional and likely period-specific (late-2025 bull/chop environment favored bounces + trailing).
- Forward-test / paper trade required before live capital. Real slippage, news events, and execution delays may reduce performance.
- Not financial advice. Past performance ≠ future results. Use at your own risk.
- Best used with low-commission futures broker (Tradovate, AMP, IBKR, etc.) and 1-contract sizing to start.
**How to Use**

GCM Kinetic Flux SpectrumTitle: GCM Kinetic Flux Spectrum
DESCRIPTION
The GCM Kinetic Flux Spectrum is an institutional-grade hybrid momentum and volume engine. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on closing prices, the GCM KFS synthesizes dual-source RSI volatility with Volume Flow Intensity (VFI) to reveal the hidden kinetic energy of market movements.
By projecting a 27-layer "Spectrum Ribbon" and a multi-dimensional Divergence Engine, the GCM KFS identifies not just where the price is heading, but the quality and "fuel" behind the trend.
CORE ARCHITECTURE
1) The Kinetic Mean (Dual-Source RSI)
Standard RSI often ignores the battle occurring at the wicks. The GCM KFS calculates independent RSI streams for Highs and Lows, then anchors them to a Zero-Centered baseline (-50 to +50). The resulting Kinetic Mean filters out retail noise, providing a volatility-adjusted perspective on momentum.
2) Volume Flux Integration (VFI)
Volume precedes price. The GCM KFS integrates a highly responsive, EMA-smoothed Volume Flow Indicator (VFI). By syncing VFI length with the RSI cycle, the indicator cross-verifies price strength with capital flow.
• Momentum + Positive Flux: Confirms high-conviction trends.
• Momentum + Negative Flux: Reveals "Empty" breakouts or institutional distribution.
3) 27-Layer Spectrum Ribbon
The gradient fill isn't just aesthetic—it represents Volatility Density.
• Expansion: When ribbons fan out, it signals a high-velocity trend.
• Compression (The Squeeze): When ribbons pinch toward the Kinetic Mean, it signals a volatility contraction, typically the precursor to an explosive breakout.
4) Four-Way Divergence Engine
The KFS automatically detects and projects four types of divergence on both the indicator pane and the main price chart:
• Regular Bullish/Bearish: Identifying high-probability trend reversals.
• Hidden Bullish/Bearish: Identifying trend continuation (Smart Money re-entry points).
KEY POWER FEATURES
• Zero-Centered Logic: Levels are shifted for better visual balance. (OB: +20, Extreme OB: +30 | OS: -20, Extreme OS: -30).
• Dynamic Zones: Subtle background fills highlight "Extreme" areas where price is statistically likely to mean-revert.
• Main Chart Projection: Use the force_overlay feature to keep your eyes on price action while the indicator confirms entries.
• Institutional Dotted VFI: The orange dotted line acts as the "Anchor"—if price rises but the VFI Anchor stays below zero, the move lacks professional backing.
HOW TO TRADE WITH GCM-KFS
• The Reversal Sniper: Look for an R-BULL or R-BEAR label appearing inside the Extreme Zone (±30). This indicates momentum exhaustion backed by a volume shift.
• Trend Riding: During an uptrend, look for H-BULL (Hidden Bullish) labels. This signals that institutions are "buying the dip" while momentum resets.
• Volatility Breakouts: When the Spectrum Ribbon enters a tight "squeeze" near the Zero Line, prepare for a major move. Follow the direction of the first ribbon expansion.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
• Scalping (1m - 5m): Length 7 - 9
• Day Trading (15m - 1H): Length 10 - 14
• Swing Trading (4H - Daily): Length 20+
AUTHOR’S NOTE
This script is part of the GCM suite of professional tools. It is designed to be a "confluence engine"—it works best when used to confirm price action levels, supply/demand zones, or order blocks. Always trade with a plan and managed risk.

Whale Hunter V121. Overview
Whale Hunter V12 is a specialized Pine Script indicator designed for high-precision scalping (1m, 5m timeframes) on Futures and Crypto markets. Unlike standard indicators that lag, V12 focuses on Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) and Order Flow to detect institutional "Whale" activity.
Its "Precision Engine" filters out low-volatility churn and fake signals by enforcing strict volatility gates (ATR) and volume thresholds.
2. The Logic: How Scoring Works (0-12 Points)
Every candle is analyzed and given a "Confluence Score" from 0 to 12. A signal is only generated if the score meets your minimum threshold (Default: 8).
Component
Max Points
Logic
A. Volume Spike
4 pts
Measures relative volume vs. 20-period average.
• 2.0x Vol = 2 pts
• 3.0x Vol = 3 pts
• 5.0x Vol = 4 pts (Whale)
B. Trend (VWAP)
3 pts
Checks alignment with Volume Weighted Average Price.
• Buy above VWAP = +3 pts
• Sell below VWAP = +3 pts
C. Absorption Wick
3 pts
Measures the rejection wick vs. candle body.
• Wick > 1.5x Body = 1 pt
• Wick > 50% Range = 2 pts
• Wick > 65% Range = 3 pts (Hammer/Shooting Star)
D. CVD Divergence
2 pts
Checks if momentum contradicts price.
• Price Lows lower + Volume Flow Higher = +2 pts (Bullish Divergence)
E. Penalties
-3 pts
The Fakeout Killer:
• Buying on a Red Candle = -3 pts
• Selling on a Green Candle = -3 pts
3. Settings & Configuration
You can customize the strictness of the engine in the indicator settings menu.
A. Signal Precision
Minimum Score to Show (Default: 8)
8-12: "Sniper Mode." Shows only high-probability setups trading with the trend (VWAP aligned).
6-7: "Scout Mode." Shows counter-trend reversals and riskier scalps.
< 5: Not recommended (Too much noise).
Ignore Small Candles (ATR %) (Default: 0.5)
The "Churn Filter". It ignores any candle smaller than 50% of the average size.
Increase to 0.8 if you are getting too many signals during flat/choppy markets.
B. Volume Logic
Strict Volume (Default: ON)
When checked, the script blocks any signal with less than 2.0x average volume, regardless of the score. This ensures you only trade when Whales are actually present.
4. How to Read the Signals
🟢 Bullish Signal (Buy)
Symbol: Green Triangle below the bar.
Condition: Score ≥ 8. The Whale absorbed selling pressure (Wick) on high volume, likely creating a "Bear Trap."
Ideal Setup: Price is Above the Blue Line (VWAP) + Green Arrow.
Stop Loss: Just below the low of the signal candle (the wick).
🔴 Bearish Signal (Sell)
Symbol: Red Triangle above the bar.
Condition: Score ≥ 8. The Whale absorbed buying pressure (Wick) on high volume, likely creating a "Bull Trap."
Ideal Setup: Price is Below the Blue Line (VWAP) + Red Arrow.
Stop Loss: Just above the high of the signal candle.
🔵 Blue Line (VWAP)
This is your "Trend Anchor."
Do not Short if price is significantly above the Blue Line.
Do not Long if price is significantly below the Blue Line.
5. Troubleshooting / FAQ
Q: Why did a signal disappear?
A: The script repaints only during the live candle. Once a candle closes, the signal is permanent. If a signal vanishes before close, it means the volume or price action changed last second (e.g., the candle turned Red, triggering the -3 penalty).
Q: Why are there no signals on my chart?
A: You are likely in a low-volume period (Lunch hour / Late night). The Strict Volume filter is doing its job by keeping you out of dead markets. Alternatively, lower the Minimum Score to 6.
Q: Can I use this on 1-minute timeframes?
A: Yes, but increase the ATR Filter to 0.6 or 0.7 to filter out the micro-noise common on 1m charts.
VWAP Timeframe Continuity (Multi-Period Anchored VWAP Alignment)Visualizes full timeframe continuity using anchored VWAPs from multiple periods — Yearly (12M), Quarterly (3M), Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, 1H, 30m, and 15m (selectable).
Green candles & upper composite line:
Price above all selected VWAPs → strong bullish alignment
Red candles & lower composite line:
Price below all → strong bearish alignment
Gray/neutral: Mixed signals
Includes flip labels, customizable colors, and alerts when full continuity starts (up or down).
Great for trend confirmation, avoiding counter-trend trades, and spotting institutional bias across horizons. Toggle timeframes in settings to match your style!
(Pro tip: Longer anchors like Yearly/Quarterly carry more weight for swing/position trading.)

Volume ProfileVolume Profile — Daily & Weekly Levels
This indicator plots session-based Volume Profile levels directly on the chart, focusing on Daily and Weekly structures.
It is designed to help visualize areas where trading activity was most concentrated during the current and previous periods.
The script calculates and displays the following levels:
POC (Point of Control) — price level with the highest traded volume
VAH (Value Area High) — upper boundary of the value area
VAL (Value Area Low) — lower boundary of the value area
Features
Today’s Volume Profile
POC, VAH, and VAL updated in real time during the current trading day
Yesterday’s Volume Profile
Previous day’s POC, VAH, and VAL extended forward as reference levels
Current Weekly Volume Profile
Live weekly POC, VAH, and VAL
Previous Weekly Volume Profile
Last week’s completed POC, VAH, and VAL
Configurable Inputs
Adjustable number of volume bins (rows)
Custom value area percentage
Toggle visibility for daily, yesterday, weekly, and previous weekly levels
Optional labels with configurable horizontal offset
How it works
The indicator builds a custom volume distribution by aggregating volume across price bins within each session (daily or weekly).
From this distribution, it identifies:
The price level with maximum volume (POC)
The value area surrounding the POC based on the selected percentage
All calculations are performed locally using historical bar data, without external data sources.
Alerts
An alert condition is included that triggers when price crosses any visible Volume Profile level (POC, VAH, or VAL).
Notes
This indicator is designed for market structure and volume analysis.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: CLEAN CHART, RICH DASHBOARD
Traditional indicators often clutter charts with dozens of support/resistance lines, making it difficult to see price action clearly. This indicator takes a different approach:
The Chart:
Displays only the most meaningful, nearest levels (1 up, 1 down) that have not been consumed by price. This keeps your chart clean and focused on what matters right now.
The Dashboard:
Contains all detailed metrics, calculations, and analysis. Instead of drawing 20 lines on your chart, you get comprehensive data in an organized table format.
Why this approach?
• A clean chart allows you to see price action without visual noise
• Fewer but more meaningful levels help focus attention on immediate reference points
• The dashboard provides depth without sacrificing chart clarity
• Beginners can learn chart reading with an uncluttered view while accessing detailed analysis when needed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. BLOCK SEGMENTATION
What it does:
Divides the analysis window into fixed-size blocks. Each block contains multiple bars that are analyzed as a single unit.
Why:
Individual bars contain noise. A single red candle in an uptrend might cause unnecessary concern, but when you view 5-10 bars as one block, the overall direction becomes clear. Block segmentation filters out bar-to-bar noise and reveals the underlying structure.
Benefit:
• Clearer view of market structure at a higher aggregation level
• Enables comparison between time periods (Block 1 vs Block 2 vs Block 3)
• Creates the foundation for composite candles and trend detection
• Reduces emotional reaction to single-bar movements
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2. COMPOSITE CANDLES (FRACTAL CONCEPT)
What it does:
Each block generates a "ghost candle" representing aggregated OHLC:
• Open: First bar's open in the block
• High: Highest high across all bars in the block
• Low: Lowest low across all bars in the block
• Close: Last bar's close in the block
Why:
This is essentially a FRACTAL view of the market. The same candlestick patterns that appear on a daily chart also appear on hourly charts, and on 5-minute charts. By aggregating bars into composite candles, you create a synthetic higher timeframe view without changing your actual timeframe.
Benefit:
• See higher timeframe patterns while staying on your preferred timeframe
• Identify block-level candlestick patterns (Doji, Hammer, Marubozu, Engulfing, etc.)
• Compare composite candle relationships: Does Block 1 engulf Block 2? Is Block 1 an inside bar relative to Block 2?
• Recognize patterns that individual bars obscure due to noise
Fractal Nature:
A hammer pattern means the same thing whether it appears on a 1-minute chart or a weekly chart: price tested lower levels and was rejected. Composite candles let you see these patterns at your chosen aggregation level, providing a multi-scale view of market behavior.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3. VOLUME ENGINE
What it does:
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED. It separates total volume into buying volume and selling volume using two methods:
Method 1 - Geometric (Approximation):
• Buy Volume = Total Volume × ((Close - Low) / Range)
• Sell Volume = Total Volume × ((High - Close) / Range)
Method 2 - Intrabar LTF (Precise):
Uses actual tick-level or lower timeframe data to determine real buy/sell distribution.
Why:
Raw volume tells you HOW MUCH was traded, but not WHO was aggressive. A large volume bar could mean heavy buying, heavy selling, or both. By separating buy and sell volume, you can identify which side is driving the market.
Benefit:
• Identify whether buyers or sellers are more aggressive
• Detect when volume contradicts price direction (divergence)
• Measure accumulation (buying into weakness) vs distribution (selling into strength)
• Quantify the delta (buy minus sell) to see net pressure
Why Delta Matters:
If price is rising but delta is negative, sellers are actually more aggressive despite the price increase. This divergence often precedes reversals because the price movement lacks volume confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. PIN ANALYSIS (WICK MEASUREMENT)
What it does:
Calculates average upper pin (wick) and lower pin sizes for each block, then tracks how these change across consecutive blocks.
Why:
Upper pins represent price levels that were tested but rejected by sellers. Lower pins represent price levels that were tested but rejected by buyers. The size and direction of pins reveal rejection strength at specific price zones.
Benefit:
• Large upper pins = strong selling pressure at higher levels
• Large lower pins = strong buying support at lower levels
• Increasing upper pins across blocks = intensifying selling pressure
• Decreasing lower pins across blocks = weakening buying support
Why Track Pin Changes:
Pin behavior often changes before price direction changes. If lower pins are shrinking while price is still rising, the buying support that was defending dips is weakening. This is observable data, not prediction.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. TREND CHANNEL DETECTION
What it does:
Identifies trend direction using block-level price structure:
• UPTREND: Block highs are higher than previous block highs, AND block lows are higher than previous block lows (HH/HL pattern)
• DOWNTREND: Block highs are lower than previous block highs, AND block lows are lower than previous block lows (LH/LL pattern)
• RANGE: No consistent directional pattern
Once detected, the system draws upper and lower channel boundaries by connecting extreme points within each trend segment.
Why:
HH/HL and LH/LL are the classical definitions of trend. By applying this logic to composite candles (blocks) rather than individual bars, the trend detection becomes more stable and less prone to whipsaws from single-bar noise.
Benefit:
• Clear visual boundaries showing the current trend channel
• Upper channel line = dynamic resistance based on actual price structure
• Lower channel line = dynamic support based on actual price structure
• Channel angle indicates trend strength (steeper = stronger)
• Channel width indicates volatility
Why Lock Trend States:
Once a block's trend classification is determined, it locks and does not change on subsequent recalculations. Without locking, the same block could flip between UP and DOWN repeatedly, creating inconsistent analysis. Locking ensures stability.
Why Project Lines Forward:
Channel lines can be projected into the future to show where support/resistance would be if the current trend continues at the same angle. This is not a prediction; it is a visual reference showing the trend's trajectory.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6. CORE LEVELS: POC, MAX BUY, MAX SELL
What it does:
Identifies key price levels within each block based on volume data:
POC (Point of Control):
The price level where the highest total volume occurred within the block.
MAX BUY Level:
The bar with the highest buying volume. The HIGH of this bar marks the level.
MAX SELL Level:
The bar with the highest selling volume. The LOW of this bar marks the level.
MIN BUY/SELL Levels:
Optional levels showing where minimum buy/sell volume occurred.
Why:
High volume at a specific price means many participants entered positions there. These participants have a vested interest in that price level. If price returns to that area, those same participants may act to defend their positions.
Benefit:
• POC acts as a volume-based magnet; price tends to revisit high-volume areas
• MAX BUY level shows where buyers committed most aggressively
• MAX SELL level shows where sellers committed most aggressively
• These levels are based on actual transaction data, not arbitrary calculations
Why Consumed Levels Disappear:
When price crosses through a level, that level has been "tested." Keeping consumed levels on the chart creates visual clutter and suggests they are still relevant when they may no longer be. Removing them keeps focus on levels that have not yet been tested.
Why Show Only Nearest Levels:
If you have 20 blocks, you could have 60+ potential levels (POC, MAX BUY, MAX SELL for each). Displaying all of them makes the chart unreadable. Showing only the nearest untested level above and below current price keeps the chart clean while providing immediate reference points.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
7. QUALITY SCORE AND TREND INTELLIGENCE
What it does:
Calculates a quality score (0-100) for the current trend based on multiple factors:
• Angle steepness (stronger trends have steeper angles)
• Delta consistency (does volume support the trend direction?)
• Volume momentum (is participation increasing or decreasing?)
• Body expansion (are candle bodies growing or shrinking?)
• Pin alignment (do pins support the trend direction?)
• Contradiction count (how many factors disagree?)
Why:
Not all trends are equal. A trend with consistent volume support, expanding bodies, and aligned pins is healthier than a trend with contradicting signals. The quality score quantifies this.
Benefit:
• HIGH quality (80+): Multiple factors confirm the trend
• MEDIUM quality (60-79): Some factors confirm, some neutral
• LOW quality (below 60): Multiple contradictions exist
• Strength rating based on channel angle: VERY STRONG, STRONG, MODERATE, WEAK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
8. NARRATIVE ENGINE
What it does:
Generates a text-based market analysis by synthesizing all calculated data into readable sentences.
How it works:
1. Analyzes current candle: pattern type (Doji, Hammer, Marubozu, etc.), body/wick ratios, range vs ATR
2. Analyzes composite candle: Block 1 pattern and relationship to Block 2 (Engulfing, Inside, Outside)
3. Evaluates trend context: direction, duration, quality, transitions
4. Examines volume data: delta, dominance, momentum direction
5. Checks proximity to key levels: channel boundaries, POC, core levels
6. Identifies divergences: when price and volume directions contradict
7. Produces a coherent narrative describing the current situation
Why:
Numbers and charts require interpretation. The narrative engine translates calculated data into plain language, helping traders understand what the data means in context. This is especially valuable for beginners learning to read charts.
Benefit:
• Synthesizes multiple data points into a coherent story
• Explicitly flags divergences and contradictions
• Describes the current situation without making predictions
• Educational: shows how different factors relate to each other
What the Narrative Does NOT Do:
The narrative describes what IS, not what WILL BE. It does not predict future price movement. It reports the current candle pattern, the current trend state, the current volume situation, and the current proximity to levels.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
9. SMART DASHBOARD
What it does:
Displays all metrics in an organized table with multiple sections.
Sections:
• Volume Engine: Calculation method, data availability, current candle buy/sell/delta
• Trend Volumetrics: Aggregated buy/sell/delta across the current trend, trend type
• Pressure and Momentum: Average pins, pin change percentages, body expansion status
• Trend Channel Boundaries: Upper/lower levels with exact prices, distances, percentages
• Trend Intelligence: Quality score, confidence level, strength rating, volume momentum
Why:
All the detailed calculations need to live somewhere without cluttering the chart. The dashboard provides comprehensive data in a structured format.
Benefit:
• All metrics in one place
• Organized by category for easy reference
• Hover over any label to see a tooltip explaining that metric
• No need to draw dozens of lines on the chart
TIP: Hover over dashboard headers and labels to see tooltips explaining each metric.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
10. LANGUAGE SUPPORT
The indicator supports three languages:
• English
• Türkçe (Turkish)
• हिन्दी (Hindi)
Why only three languages?
Each additional language requires duplicate strings throughout the code, increasing memory usage and compilation time. To keep the script optimized and responsive, language options are limited to these three.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
11. DATA ACCURACY AND LIMITATIONS
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations.
DATA ACCURACY LEVELS:
• 1T (Tick): Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick
• 1S (1 Second): Reasonably accurate approximation
• 15S (15 Seconds): Good approximation, longer historical data available
• 1M (1 Minute): Rough approximation, maximum historical data range
BACKTEST AND REPLAY LIMITATIONS:
• Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability
• For longer backtest periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M)
• Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data
• Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks
A NOTE ON DATA ACCESS:
Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable calculations.

Delta Microstructure AnalysisDelta Microstructure Analysis
Market microstructure analysis using footprint data for divergence, exhaustion, absorption, and trapped trader detection
Overview
Delta Microstructure Analysis is an order flow indicator that uses TradingView's footprint data to identify market conditions including divergences, exhaustion patterns, absorption zones, and trapped trader scenarios. The indicator calculates delta at each bar and tracks cumulative delta to identify potential reversals and continuations.
Key Features
Footprint Data Integration: Uses TradingView's built-in footprint data for accurate buy/sell volume delta calculation. Falls back to synthetic delta calculation when footprint data is unavailable.
Adaptive Tick Calculation: Automatically adjusts footprint tick size based on asset type and timeframe. Baseline values: crypto (200), forex (10), stocks (5), indices/futures (1), with timeframe scaling.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Tracks cumulative delta with reset options (None, Daily, Fixed Bars) to identify overall buying/selling pressure trends.
Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences between price action and cumulative delta using configurable pivot strength (3-20 bars).
Exhaustion Pattern Recognition: Detects buying and selling exhaustion when delta exceeds configurable multiplier (2.0-10.0x) of average delta over lookback period (10-100 bars).
Absorption Zone Analysis: Identifies areas where aggressive orders are absorbed by resting liquidity, indicating potential support/resistance zones.
Trapped Trader Detection: Recognizes scenarios with strong initial momentum followed by sharp reversals, suggesting trapped positions.
Visual Labeling System: Displays signals as monospace labels (DIV↑/DIV↓, EXH↑/EXH↓, ABS↑/ABS↓, TRAP↑/TRAP↓) above/below candles.
Info Table Display: Shows current CVD, delta, average delta, data source, and active signals in a monospace-formatted table.
Alert System: Individual alerts for each signal type (divergences, exhaustion, absorption, trapped traders).
How It Works
Footprint Data Request: The indicator requests footprint data using adaptive tick sizing. If unavailable, uses synthetic delta calculation based on candle characteristics.
Delta Calculation: For footprint data, uses fp.delta() function. For synthetic delta, considers body size, wick analysis, and volume characteristics.
Cumulative Delta Tracking: Maintains running cumulative delta that resets based on selected mode (daily session changes or fixed bar intervals).
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable pivot strength to identify significant highs and lows in both price and cumulative delta.
Divergence Analysis: Compares price pivots with cumulative delta pivots. Bullish divergence: lower price lows with higher delta lows. Bearish divergence: higher price highs with lower delta highs.
Exhaustion Detection: Calculates average absolute delta over lookback period and identifies when current delta exceeds multiplier threshold.
Absorption Identification: Analyzes footprint patterns to detect when aggressive orders are met with sufficient resting liquidity.
Trapped Trader Recognition: Identifies strong momentum followed by sharp reversals using proprietary pattern recognition.
Signal Display: Shows signals as labels on chart and summarizes in info table with current market conditions.
Use Cases
Divergence Trading: Use divergence signals to identify potential trend reversals before they appear in price action.
Exhaustion Monitoring: Identify when buying or selling pressure may be exhausted, suggesting potential reversals.
Support/Resistance Levels: Use absorption zones to identify key price levels where institutional activity occurs.
Risk Management: Use trapped trader signals to anticipate sharp reversals and adjust position sizing.
Market Structure Analysis: Understand underlying order flow dynamics driving price movements.
Confirmation Tool: Combine with other technical indicators to confirm signals and improve trade probability.

Technical Notes
The indicator uses TradingView's footprint functions (request.footprint(), fp.delta()) for order flow analysis.
Adaptive tick calculation converts all timeframes to minutes for consistent scaling across chart intervals.
Synthetic delta calculation uses body size (70% weight), wick analysis, and body-to-range ratio for fallback when footprint data unavailable.
The indicator uses barstate.isconfirmed for calculations to prevent repainting.
All text displays use monospace font for consistent readability.
Table displays current CVD, delta, average delta, data source, and active signals in real-time.
Best Practices
Use on symbols where footprint data is available for most accurate analysis.
Combine divergence signals with price action for higher probability setups.
Monitor exhaustion signals in context of overall trend direction.
Pay attention to absorption zones at key technical levels.
Use trapped trader signals as early warning for potential reversals.
Adjust pivot strength based on trading timeframe (lower for shorter timeframes).
Consider data source indicator - synthetic delta may be less reliable than footprint data.
Set up alerts for preferred signal types when monitoring multiple symbols.
This indicator analyzes market microstructure using footprint data to identify divergences, exhaustion, absorption, and trapped trader patterns.
able bigtrades dom + liquidity sweep This Pine Script is a sophisticated **Order Flow and Liquidity analysis tool** designed for TradingView. It combines volume analysis, multi-exchange data, and price action to identify where institutional "whales" are entering the market.
Below is a detailed guide on how to interpret and use the **BigTrades DOM** indicator.
---
## 1. Core Concept: Big Trades Detection
Instead of looking at raw volume, this indicator uses **Z-Scores** (Standard Deviations). It compares current volume to the average of the last 30 bars (customizable).
* **Tier 1 (Small Circles):** Significant volume, slightly above average.
* **Tier 2 (Medium Circles):** High volume ( by default). These often act as local support/resistance.
* **Tier 3 (Large Circles):** Extreme volume. These represent institutional "Big Trades" that usually lead to trend reversals or major continuations.
---
## 2. Initiative (INIT) vs. Absorbed (ABS)
This is a powerful feature located in the **Confirmation** settings. It looks at what happens *after* a Tier 3 big trade occurs:
* **Initiative (Purple Circle `●`):** High volume occurs, and price **moves strongly** in that direction within bars. This confirms aggressive "Initiative" buying or selling.
* **Absorbed (Yellow Cross `✕`):** High volume occurs, but price **fails to move**. This indicates "Absorption"—where a large limit order (passive seller) is soaking up all the aggressive market buys, often leading to a reversal.
---
## 3. Liquidity Sweep Detection
The script tracks "Pivots" (old highs and lows) and watches for **Stop Runs**.
* **Bullish Sweep (LTL-SWEEP):** Price dips below a previous Low (Liquidity) but immediately closes back above it, usually accompanied by a Big Trade. This is a classic "Stop Hunt" before a move up.
* **Bearish Sweep (LTH-SWEEP):** Price spikes above a previous High but closes below it. This indicates "trapped longs" and potential downside.
* **Visuals:** The script draws a **Dotted Box** and a **Horizontal Line** to mark the swept liquidity zone.
---
## 4. The Mini DOM & Volume Profile
On the right side of your chart, you will see a real-time table:
* **Profile:** A visual histogram of volume distributed at specific price levels.
* **Bid/Ask:** Shows the estimated volume of sellers (Bid) and buyers (Ask) at those specific levels.
* **Delta (Δ):** The net difference. Green means more aggressive buyers; Red means more aggressive sellers.
* **Current Price:** Highlighted in Green to help you see where the "Value" is currently sitting.
---
## 5. Multi-Exchange Aggregation (Crypto Only)
If you are trading a crypto pair (e.g., BTCUSD), the script can fetch volume data from **Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, and Kraken** simultaneously.
> **Why it matters:** It gives you a "Global" view of volume. If you see a Big Trade on your chart, but the Multi-Exchange data shows high volume across all 5 exchanges, the signal is much more reliable.

## 6. How to Trade with this Indicator
### **Strategy A: The Liquidity Reversal**
1. Look for a **Liquidity Sweep** (LTL-SWEEP).
2. Wait for a **Big Trade (Tier 2 or 3)** to appear at the bottom of the sweep.
3. **Entry:** Long when the bar closes back above the sweep level.
4. **Target:** The opposite Liquidity High.
### **Strategy B: Following Initiative**
1. Wait for an **INIT (Purple Circle)** signal.
2. This confirms that the "Big Trade" has successfully pushed the market.
3. **Entry:** Enter in the direction of the INIT signal on the next pullback.
### **Strategy C: Fading Absorption**
1. Price reaches a resistance level.
2. An **ABS (Yellow Cross)** appears.
3. This means buyers are exhausted and being "absorbed" by a large seller.
4. **Entry:** Short on the break of the Absorption candle's low.
---
## 7. Recommended Settings
* **Sensitivity (Sigma):** Set to `2.5` for volatile markets (Crypto) or `2.0` for slower markets (Forex/Stocks).
* **Normalize by ATR:** Keep this **ON**. it ensures that "Big Trades" are calculated relative to current market volatility.
* **Require Big Trade (Sweep):** Keep this **ON** to filter out "fake" sweeps that don't have institutional backing.
