Liquidity Pulse Revealer (LPR) — by Qabas_algo

The Liquidity Pulse Revealer (LPR) is a technical framework designed to uncover hidden phases of institutional activity by combining volatility (ATR Z-Score) and liquidity (Volume Z-Score) into a dual-condition detection model. Instead of relying on price action alone, LPR measures how volatility and traded volume behave relative to their historical distributions, revealing when the market is either “compressed” or “expanding with force.”

🔹 Core Mechanics
1. ATR Z-Score (Volatility Normalization)
• LPR calculates the Average True Range (ATR) on a higher timeframe (HTF).
• It applies a Z-Score transformation across a configurable lookback period to determine if volatility is statistically compressed (below mean) or expanded (above mean).
2. Volume Z-Score (Liquidity Normalization)
• Simultaneously, traded volume is normalized using the same Z-Score method.
• Elevated Volume Z-Scores signal the presence of institutional activity (accumulation/distribution or aggressive breakout participation).
3. Dual Conditions → Regimes
• 🧊 Iceberg Volume = Low ATR Z-Score + High Volume Z-Score.
→ Indicates a “hidden liquidity build-up” phase where price compresses but big players are positioning.
• ⚡ Revealed Momentum = High ATR Z-Score + High Volume Z-Score.
→ Marks explosive volatility phases where institutional activity is fully expressed in directional moves.

🔹 Visualization
• Iceberg Zones (blue shaded boxes):
Drawn automatically around periods of statistical compression + elevated volume. These zones act as launchpads; once broken, they often precede strong directional expansions.
• Revealed Zones (green shaded boxes):
Highlight expansionary phases with both volatility and volume spiking. They often align with trend acceleration or terminal exhaustion zones.
• Midline Tracking:
Each zone maintains a dynamic average (mid-price), updated as the session evolves, providing reference for breakout confirmation and invalidation levels.

⸻

🔹 Practical Use Cases
• Accumulation/Distribution Detection:
Spot where “smart money” is quietly building or unloading positions before large moves.
• Breakout Confirmation:
A breakout occurring after an Iceberg zone carries higher conviction than random volatility.
• Profit Management:
If a Revealed Momentum zone appears after a strong uptrend, it often signals distribution or exhaustion — useful for partial profit taking.
• Multi-Timeframe Adaptability:
With Auto, Multiplier, and Manual higher-timeframe modes, LPR adapts seamlessly to intraday scalping or swing trading contexts.

⸻

🔹 Alerts
• Instant alerts for the start of new Iceberg or Revealed zones.
• Optional alerts for breakouts above/below the last Iceberg zone boundaries.

🔹 Example Trading Scenario
1. Detection: An 🧊 Iceberg Volume zone forms around support (low volatility + high volume).
2. Trigger: Price closes above the upper boundary of this Iceberg zone.
3. Entry: Go long on the breakout.
4. Stop Loss: Place stop just below the Iceberg zone’s low (where the liquidity build-up started).
5. Target: Hold until a ⚡ Revealed Momentum zone forms — then start scaling out as the expansion matures.

This simple framework transforms hidden institutional behavior into actionable trade setups with clear risk management.
