Fair Value Gap / FVG - HTF Orderflow bias / trendCalculates Fair Value Gap (FVG) as a counter and plots it below price.
FVG Counter value resets to +ve or -ve once the FVG counter reverses direction.
Use this script to find a bias to trade with.
Best used on HTF (like 1W, 1D), so the bias can be transferred to LTF (like 4H, 1H).
If you end up using this script, please leave a comment below on how you used it. I can try to incorporate those ideas in an update.

Market Order Risk CalculatorObviously the Long/Short Position tool does this, but when you are scalping, 10 - 15 seconds matters. What matters more than that is defined risk, you dont want your losses being scattered, 300 here 145 there, you want consistent risk to have consistent data.
What this does is when you are framing a trade, it provides a hands off tool that tells you exactly how many contracts to enter with, that way if you have bracket orders on, your stop will be exactly where you want it to be without going over your defined risk.
Advanced Order Blocks by AccountantXThe "Advanced Order Blocks by AccountantX" is tool designed to identify and visualize significant order blocks in the market.
This script goes beyond traditional order block detection by integrating advanced features such as volume threshold filtering, ATR-based sizing, and higher timeframe considerations.
How It works:
A. General data :
- Order Block Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish order blocks based on swing highs and lows, with options to filter by volume thresholds to ensure significant levels.
- Volume Threshold: Only displays order blocks where the volume exceeds a user-defined threshold, ensuring the highlighted zones are of particular significance.
- ATR-Based Sizing: Offers the option to use the Average True Range (ATR) for sizing order blocks, allowing for dynamic adjustment based on market volatility.
- Higher Timeframe Integration: Includes the ability to display order blocks from a higher timeframe, providing a broader market perspective.
- Customizable Appearance: Users can customize the colors and transparency of the order blocks, ensuring they fit seamlessly with any chart setup.
B. Code explanation :
- The script allows you to set a minimum volume threshold. Order blocks are only shown if the volume during their formation exceeds this threshold, ensuring that only significant price levels are highlighted.
- When enabled, the ATR (Average True Range) is used to size the order blocks. This means the height of the blocks adjusts dynamically with market volatility, providing a more accurate representation of significant zones.
- The script can display order blocks from a higher timeframe on your current chart. This is useful for aligning shorter-term trading decisions with broader market trends.
C. How to Use:
a) Set the volume threshold to filter out less significant order blocks. Adjust the value according to the typical volume of your trading instrument;
b) Enable the ATR-based sizing and set the period and multiplier to match your trading style. This helps in identifying order blocks relative to market volatility;
c) Choose a higher timeframe if you want to see significant order blocks from a broader market perspective. This can help in making more informed trading decisions.

Inner Circle Trader Institutional ORDER BLOCKS FOREX Theory
Today we are talking about the infamous ORDER BLOCKS by ICT forex trading Strategy. Order Blocks have proven to be a very effective tool in trading as they allow traders to gain high reward with low risk trades.
What is an Order Block? - The Order Block is a specific price range or candle where institutions will be buying or selling against the retail trend/dump money.
Institutions leave order blocks for themselves to trade at a later stage. They will reverse the price to a previous order and then driving the price hard in the direction of the trend (The real institutional trend).
These order blocks we can also call them specific levels of either going Long or Short. If an order block is violated or broken, it now qualifies as a Breaker, meaning Price will retest back to that order block. Sometimes we call it a failed order block.
Types of OBs:
i. Bullish Order Block (BUB)
ii. Bearish Order Block (BEB)

This version does not worry about keeping orders in the books and moving them around, instead it will simply market in and out.

Whale Breaker — HTF Order Blocks + Market Structure HUDWhale Breaker (Debug Edition) is an advanced Smart Money Concept (SMC) tool designed to project High Timeframe (HTF) order blocks onto your Lower Timeframe (LTF) charts while tracking market structure breaks (BOS / CHoCH).
This debug build adds extra transparency: the mini-HUD not only shows HTF trend, last signal, and active order blocks, but also explains why no new block was created (e.g. no HTF BOS, body not found, ATR filter too strict, max-per-side limit). This makes it easier to fine-tune your settings and understand the logic behind the indicator.
Key features:
- HTF order blocks (e.g. 1h) projected into LTF charts (e.g. 15m)
- Automatic right-extension until mitigation (MB)
- Mitigation detection: blocks shaded once filled
- ATR filter to remove insignificant micro-zones
- Per-side cap: limit the maximum active BU/B blocks
- Lookback-based pruning for clean charts
- BOS/CHoCH arrows on chart (▲ green = bullish, ▼ red = bearish)
- Compact HUD with trend, last signal, active OBs, legend, and debug reasons
Usage:
- Define your HTF (e.g. 1h) and trade entries on the LTF (e.g. 15m).
- Wait for a BOS in HTF direction, then target the projected order block.
- Stop Loss just beyond the OB, Take Profit at next opposite OB or using a fixed RRR.
Note: This is a debugging/educational version to understand order block creation logic.
For live trading, consider using the standard Whale Breaker.

Spectral Order Flow Resonance (SOFR) Spectral Order Flow Resonance (SOFR)
See the Market’s Hidden Rhythms—Trade the Resonance, Not the Noise!
The Spectral Order Flow Resonance (SOFR) is a next-generation tool for traders who want to go beyond price and volume, tapping into the underlying “frequency signature” of order flow itself. Instead of chasing lagging signals or reacting to surface-level volatility, SOFR lets you visualize and quantify the real-time resonance of market activity—helping you spot when the crowd is in sync, and when the regime is about to shift.
What Makes SOFR Unique?
Not Just Another Oscillator:
SOFR doesn’t just measure momentum or volume. It applies spectral analysis (using Fast Fourier Transform) to normalized order flow, extracting the dominant cycles and their resonance strength. This reveals when the market is harmonizing around key frequencies—often the precursor to major moves.
Regime Detection, Not Guesswork:
By tracking harmonic alignment and phase coherence across multiple Fibonacci-based frequencies, SOFR identifies when the market is entering a bullish, bearish, or neutral resonance regime. This is visualized with a dynamic dashboard and info line, so you always know the current state at a glance.
Dynamic Dashboard:
The on-chart dashboard color-codes each key metric—regime, dominant frequency, harmonic alignment, phase coherence, and energy concentration—so you can instantly gauge the strength and direction of the current resonance. No more guesswork or clutter.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there’s order flow, SOFR can reveal its hidden structure.
How Does It Work?
Order Flow Normalization:
SOFR calculates the net buying/selling pressure and normalizes it using a rolling mean and standard deviation, making the signal robust across assets and timeframes.
Spectral Analysis:
The script applies FFT to the normalized order flow, extracting the magnitude and phase of several key frequencies (typically Fibonacci numbers). This allows you to see which cycles are currently dominating the market.
Resonance & Regime Logic:
When multiple frequencies align and exceed a dynamic resonance threshold, and phase coherence is high, SOFR detects a “resonance regime”—bullish, bearish, or neutral. This is when the market is most likely to experience a strong, sustained move.
Visual Clarity:
The indicator plots each frequency’s magnitude, highlights the dominant one, and provides a real-time dashboard with color-coded metrics for instant decision-making.
SOFR Dashboard Metrics Explained
Regime:
What it means: The current “state” of the market as detected by SOFR—Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral.
Why it matters: The regime tells you whether the market’s order flow is resonating in a way that favors upward moves (Bullish), downward moves (Bearish), or is out of sync (Neutral). This helps you align your trades with the prevailing market force, or stand aside when there’s no clear edge.
Dominant Freq:
What it means: The most powerful frequency (cycle length, in bars) currently detected in the order flow.
Why it matters: Markets often move in cycles. The dominant frequency shows which cycle is currently driving price action, helping you time entries and exits with the market’s “heartbeat.”
Harmonic Align:
What it means: The number of key frequencies (out of 3) that are currently in resonance (above threshold).
Why it matters: When multiple frequencies align, it signals that different groups of traders (with different time horizons) are acting in concert. This increases the probability of a strong, sustained move.
Phase Coh.:
What it means: A measure (0–100%) of how “in sync” the phases of the key frequencies are.
Why it matters: High phase coherence means the market’s cycles are reinforcing each other, not cancelling out. This is a classic signature of trending or explosive moves.
Energy Conc.:
What it means: The concentration of spectral energy in the dominant frequency, relative to the average.
Why it matters: High energy concentration means the market’s activity is focused in one cycle, increasing the odds of a decisive move. Low concentration means the market is scattered and less predictable.
How to Use
Bullish Regime:
When the dashboard shows a green regime and high harmonic alignment, the market is in a bullish resonance—look for long opportunities or trend continuations.
Bearish Regime:
When the regime is red and alignment is high, the market is in a bearish resonance—look for short opportunities or trend continuations.
Neutral Regime:
When the regime is gray or alignment is low, the market is out of sync—consider waiting for clearer signals or using other tools.
Combine with Your Strategy:
Use SOFR as a confirmation tool, a filter for trend/range conditions, or as a standalone regime detector. The dashboard’s color-coded metrics help you instantly spot when the market is entering or exiting resonance.
Inputs Explained
FFT Window Length :
Controls the number of bars used for spectral analysis. Higher values smooth the signal, lower values make it more sensitive.
Order Flow Period:
Sets the lookback for normalizing order flow. Shorter periods react faster, longer periods are smoother.
Fibonacci Frequencies:
Choose which cycles to analyze. Default values (5, 8, 13) capture common market rhythms.
Resonance Threshold:
Sets how strong a frequency’s signal must be to count as “in resonance.” Lower for more signals, higher for stricter filtering.
Signal Smoothing & Amplify:
Fine-tune the display for your chart and asset.
Dashboard & Info Line Toggles:
Show or hide the on-chart dashboard and info line as needed.
Why This Matters
Most indicators show you what just happened. SOFR shows you when the market is entering a state of resonance—when crowd behavior is most likely to produce powerful, sustained moves. By visualizing the hidden structure of order flow, you gain a tactical edge over traders who only see the surface.

IPDA with Order Blocks [Enhanced]Summary of the Code
This script plots IPDA Standard Deviations on a price chart, helping traders visualize potential support and resistance levels based on a series of user-defined deviations. It uses swing high/low points and time-based fractal lookbacks (monthly, weekly, daily, or intraday) to define price anchors and compute deviation lines.
Key features include:
Deviations: It calculates and plots deviation levels based on the distance between swing highs and lows, which traders can use as price targets or zones of interest.
Timeframes:
Monthly (higher timeframe analysis)
Weekly (medium-term analysis)
Daily and Intraday (shorter-term precision)
Customization:
Choose which deviation levels (e.g., 0, 1, -1, -2) to display.
Hide labels or adjust their sizes for cleaner charts.
Option to remove invalidated deviation levels dynamically.
Visual Cleanliness: Automatically removes clutter by hiding or deleting invalid deviation levels and focusing on active price zones.
How to Utilize It for Intraday Trading to Make $1,000
Here’s how to effectively use the indicator to optimize intraday trading:
1. Set the Right Timeframe:
Use the 15-minute or 1-hour chart for intraday setups.
Ensure the "Intraday" lookback option is enabled to focus on shorter-term swings.
2. Interpret the Levels:
Bearish Order Blocks: Look for red lines (bearish deviation) as potential resistance zones where the price may reverse downward.
Bullish Order Blocks: Look for green lines (bullish deviation) as potential support zones where the price may bounce upward.
3. Plan Entries and Exits:
Entry: Buy near a green order block or short near a red order block, confirming the trade with additional signals (e.g., candlestick patterns, momentum indicators).
Stop Loss: Place your stop below the green line (for buys) or above the red line (for shorts).
Profit Targets: Use deviation levels as targets (e.g., from the 0 level to +1 or -1).
4. Combine with Market Context:
Use the script alongside volume profile, trend indicators, or news events for confirmation.
Avoid trading during major news events unless aligned with deviations.
5. Position Sizing for $1,000 Goal:
Trade liquid instruments like Nasdaq futures (NQ) or major forex pairs.
Risk 1-2% of your capital on each trade and scale into positions if confirmed.
Target a profit of 10-20 points per trade on Nasdaq futures, with 1-2 trades daily.
6. Monitor Key Timeframes:
Pre-market (before 9:30 AM EST): Mark deviation levels to predict market open behavior.
Midday & Power Hour (3-4 PM EST): Watch for breakouts or retests around key deviation levels.
By combining this tool with disciplined risk management and a clear trading plan, you can systematically work toward your profit target while minimizing unnecessary risks

Note: The arrows, polylines, and colored trendlines shown in the chart example are not generated by the indicator. They have been added manually for illustration purposes to demonstrate how the indicator can be used to trace market structure. Likewise, the order blocks in the example are manually drawn and may differ slightly from the indicator's automatic calculations, serving only to enhance visual clarity.
Stochastic Order Flow Momentum [ScorsoneEnterprises]This indicator implements a stochastic model of order flow using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, combined with a Kalman filter to smooth momentum signals. It is designed to capture the dynamic momentum of volume delta, representing the net buying or selling pressure per bar, and highlight potential shifts in market direction. The volume delta data is sourced from TradingView’s built-in functionality:
www.tradingview.com
For a deeper dive into stochastic processes like the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model in financial contexts, see these research articles: arxiv.org and arxiv.org
The SOFM tool aims to reveal the momentum and acceleration of order flow, modeled as a mean-reverting stochastic process. In markets, order flow often oscillates around a baseline, with bursts of buying or selling pressure that eventually fade—similar to how physical systems return to equilibrium. The OU process captures this behavior, while the Kalman filter refines the signal by filtering noise. Parameters theta (mean reversion rate), mu (mean level), and sigma (volatility) are estimated by minimizing a squared-error objective function using gradient descent, ensuring adaptability to real-time market conditions.
How It Works
The script combines a stochastic model with signal processing. Here’s a breakdown of the key components, including the OU equation and supporting functions.
// Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for volume delta
ou_model(params, v_t, lkb) =>
theta = clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)
mu = clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)
sigma = clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)
error = 0.0
v_pred = array.new(lkb, 0.0)
array.set(v_pred, 0, array.get(v_t, 0))
for i = 1 to lkb - 1
v_prev = array.get(v_pred, i - 1)
v_curr = array.get(v_t, i)
// Discretized OU: v_t = v_{t-1} + theta * (mu - v_{t-1}) + sigma * noise
v_next = v_prev + theta * (mu - v_prev)
array.set(v_pred, i, v_next)
v_curr_clean = na(v_curr) ? 0 : v_curr
v_pred_clean = na(v_next) ? 0 : v_next
error := error + math.pow(v_curr_clean - v_pred_clean, 2)
error
The ou_model function implements a discretized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process:
v_t = v_{t-1} + theta (mu - v_{t-1})
The model predicts volume delta (v_t) based on its previous value, adjusted by the mean-reverting term theta (mu - v_{t-1}), with sigma representing the volatility of random shocks (approximated in the Kalman filter).
Parameters Explained
The parameters theta, mu, and sigma represent distinct aspects of order flow dynamics:
Theta:
Definition: The mean reversion rate, controlling how quickly volume delta returns to its mean (mu). Constrained between 0.01 and 1.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 0), 0.01, 1.0)).
Interpretation: A higher theta indicates faster reversion (short-lived momentum), while a lower theta suggests persistent trends. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, theta scales the pull toward \mu, influencing the predicted v_t.
Mu:
Definition: The long-term mean of volume delta, representing the equilibrium level of net buying/selling pressure. Constrained between -100.0 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 1), -100.0, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A positive mu suggests a bullish bias, while a negative mu indicates bearish pressure. Initial value is 0.0 in init_params.
In the Code: In ou_model, mu is the target level that v_t reverts to over time.
Sigma:
Definition: The volatility of volume delta, capturing the magnitude of random fluctuations. Constrained between 0.01 and 100.0 (e.g., clamp(array.get(params, 2), 0.01, 100.0)).
Interpretation: A higher sigma reflects choppier, noisier order flow, while a lower sigma indicates smoother behavior. Initial value is 0.1 in init_params.
In the Code: In the Kalman filter, sigma contributes to the error term, adjusting the smoothing process.
Summary:
theta: Speed of mean reversion (how fast momentum fades).
mu: Baseline order flow level (bullish or bearish bias).
sigma: Noise level (variability in order flow).
Other Parts of the Script
Clamp
A utility function to constrain parameters, preventing extreme values that could destabilize the model.
ObjectiveFunc
Defines the objective function (sum of squared errors) to minimize during parameter optimization. It compares the OU model’s predicted volume delta to observed data, returning a float to be minimized.
How It Works: Calls ou_model to generate predictions, computes the squared error for each timestep, and sums it. Used in optimization to assess parameter fit.
FiniteDifferenceGradient
Calculates the gradient of the objective function using finite differences. Think of it as finding the "slope" of the error surface for each parameter. It nudges each parameter (theta, mu, sigma) by a small amount (epsilon) and measures the change in error, returning an array of gradients.
Minimize
Performs gradient descent to optimize parameters. It iteratively adjusts theta, mu, and sigma by stepping down the "hill" of the error surface, using the gradients from FiniteDifferenceGradient. Stops when the gradient norm falls below a tolerance (0.001) or after 20 iterations.
Kalman Filter
Smooths the OU-modeled volume delta to extract momentum. It uses the optimized theta, mu, and sigma to predict the next state, then corrects it with observed data via the Kalman gain. The result is a cleaner momentum signal.
Applied
After initializing parameters (theta = 0.1, mu = 0.0, sigma = 0.1), the script optimizes them using volume delta data over the lookback period. The optimized parameters feed into the Kalman filter, producing a smoothed momentum array. The average momentum and its rate of change (acceleration) are calculated, though only momentum is plotted by default.
A rising momentum suggests increasing buying or selling pressure, while a flattening or reversing momentum indicates fading activity. Acceleration (not plotted here) could highlight rapid shifts.
Tool Examples
The SOFM indicator provides a dynamic view of order flow momentum, useful for spotting directional shifts or consolidation.
Low Time Frame Example: On a 5-minute chart of SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ , a rising momentum above zero with a lookback of 5 might signal building buying pressure, while a drop below zero suggests selling dominance. Crossings of the zero line can mark transitions, though the focus is on trend strength rather than frequent crossovers.
High Time Frame Example: On a daily chart of NYSE:VST , a sustained positive momentum could confirm a bullish trend, while a sharp decline might warn of exhaustion. The mean-reverting nature of the OU process helps filter out noise on longer scales. It doesn’t make the most sense to use this on a high timeframe with what our data is.
Choppy Markets: When momentum oscillates near zero, it signals indecision or low conviction, helping traders avoid whipsaws. Larger deviations from zero suggest stronger directional moves to act on, this is on $STT.
Inputs
Lookback: Users can set the lookback period (default 5) to adjust the sensitivity of the OU model and Kalman filter. Shorter lookbacks react faster but may be noisier; longer lookbacks smooth more but lag slightly.
The user can also specify the timeframe they want the volume delta from. There is a default way to lower and expand the time frame based on the one we are looking at, but users have the flexibility.
No indicator is 100% accurate, and SOFM is no exception. It’s an estimation tool, blending stochastic modeling with signal processing to provide a leading view of order flow momentum. Use it alongside price action, support/resistance, and your own discretion for best results. I encourage comments and constructive criticism.
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

Enhanced Order Flow Pressure GaugeShort Description:
Estimates bullish/bearish pressure by analyzing each candle’s close position within its range, then weighting that by volume. Detects potential trend shifts and provides real-time signals.
Full Description:
1. Purpose
The Enhanced Order Flow Pressure Gauge (OFPG+) is designed to approximate buy vs. sell pressure within each bar, even if you don’t have full Level II / order flow data. By measuring the candle’s close relative to its high-low range and multiplying by volume, OFPG+ provides insights into which side of the market (bulls or bears) is more aggressive in a given interval.
2. Key Components
Pressure Score (Histogram):
Raw measure of each bar’s close position (rangePos) minus midpoint, multiplied by volume. If the bar closes near its high with decent volume, the score is positive (bullish). Conversely, a close near its low yields a negative (bearish) reading.
Cumulative Pressure:
Sum of all pressure readings over time (similar to cumulative delta), reflecting the overall market bias.
Pressure Delta:
The change in cumulative pressure from one bar to the next, plotted as a line. Rising values suggest increasing bullish momentum, while falling values show growing bearish influence.
3. Visual Cues & Signals
Histogram (Pressure Profile): A color-coded bar for each candle, indicating net bullish (blue) or bearish (gray) intrabar pressure.
Pressure Delta Line: Plotted over the histogram. Turns bullish (blue) when net buy pressure is increasing, or bearish (gray) when net selling accelerates.
Background Highlights:
Turns lightly blue if the smoothed pressure line exceeds the positive threshold, or lightly gray if it goes below the negative threshold.
Bullish / Bearish Signals:
Bullish Signal occurs when the smoothed pressure line crosses above the positive threshold, combined with a positive Delta.
Bearish Signal occurs when the smoothed pressure line crosses below the negative threshold, combined with a negative Delta.
Confirmed Signals:
After a bullish/bearish signal, OFPG+ checks the highest or lowest smoothed pressure values over a user-defined number of bars (signalLookback) to confirm momentum.
Plotshapes (diamond icons) appear on the chart to mark these confirmed reversals.
4. Usage Scenarios
Trend-Following / Momentum: Watch for transitions from negative to positive net pressure or vice versa. Helps identify potential turning points.
Reversal Confirmation: The threshold-based signals plus the “confirmed” checks can help filter choppy conditions.
Volume-Weighted Insights: By factoring in volume, strong closes near the highs or lows are weighted more heavily, capturing sentiment shifts.
5. Inputs & Parameters
Smoothing Length (length): The EMA period for smoothing the raw pressure score.
Volume Weight (volWeight): Scales the volume impact on pressure calculations.
Pressure Threshold (threshold): Defines when pressure is considered significantly bullish or bearish.
Signal Lookback (signalLookback): Number of bars to confirm momentum after a signal.
6. Alerts
Bullish Signal & Confirmed Bullish
Bearish Signal & Confirmed Bearish
These alerts can notify you in real-time about potential shifts in the market’s buying or selling pressure.
