Pulsar Heatmap CVD/OBV [by Oberlunar]Pulsar Heatmap CVD/OBV is a flow/price-consensus dashboard that turns OBV, CVD and their combination blend into a compact “heatmap + bias/signal” view, with optional main-chart candle coloring and HUD overlays.
What it shows
The panel is split into 3 horizontal lanes (OBV / CVD / COMBO). Each lane is further split into two halves:
Flow half: the normalized OBV/CVD/COMBO component (either per-bar Delta or Cumulative series).
PriceΔ half: the normalized divergence between price and the lane (price unit − flow unit), highlighting when price moves with or against the flow proxy.
Colors use intensity-based transparency so you can quickly spot pressure, compression, and disagreement between lanes.
Core engines
Normalization: Z-Score→tanh, Z-Score→clamp, MinMax, or None (unit range ≈ ).
Bias engine (6 halves): builds a directional BIAS from the six components (OBV/CVD/COMBO × Flow/PriceΔ), with optional hysteresis to reduce flicker.
Signal engine: triggers LONG/SHORT only on full alignment (all 6 halves agree), with confirm-bars and optional sticky behavior.
ROC/Acceleration layers: optional impulse context (ROC + ACC) to gate signals and/or boost bias strength when momentum is supportive.
AST filter: a strict directional filter combining volatility regime, BB expansion/contraction, MTF RSI prior and Kalman-smoothed evidence. When AST is directional, it can block opposite signals to enforce coherence.
Visual tools
Bias/Signal bands: top/bottom bands render BIAS strength and SIGNAL state; yellow highlights indicate disagreement/blocked states.
Candle colouring (main chart): optionally colours chart candles from LaneScore / Bias / Signal / Bias+Signal (uses overlay drawing where supported).
Signal labels: optional LONG/SHORT markers (with “better price than last shown” logic).
Triangle HUD: right-side geometric HUD summarising OBV/CVD/COMBO consensus + disagreement cues.
Timed Exhaustion / Absorption table: compact state machine that flags momentum exhaustion and absorption-like conditions using tight range + ROC/ACC behaviour.
How to use
Start with Lane data = Delta for faster microstructure timing; switch to Cumulative for macro context.
Choose a normalisation that fits your symbol’s volatility (ZScore→tanh is usually stable).
Read BIAS as the current dominant direction/strength; treat SIGNAL as the strict “all lanes aligned” confirmation.
If you want stricter coherence, keep the AST filter enabled (it is integrated by design and blocks opposite-direction signals when directional).
Setup 1 — Long Signal (Clean Alignment + Impulse)
In this example, Pulsar Heatmap transitions into a clear long setup when the system prints a LONG SIGNAL. The key idea is simple: the indicator does not enter on “bias” alone. It waits for full alignment across the internal lanes, optionally reinforced by the ROC/Acceleration impulse layer, and only then does it confirm a signal on a closed bar (Safe Mode)
Setup 2 — Short Signal After Compression (Absorption → Release)
In this screenshot, the short trade idea is not coming from “red candles” alone, but from a very specific sequence: the heatmap shows a shift into bearish alignment, the system prints a SHORT SIGNAL, and the timed module confirms that the market was in a tight range while sell pressure started to dominate.
Setup 3 — Neutral State (Stand-By Zone, No Trade Yet)
In the following screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is doing something very important: it is clearly saying NEUTRAL 0%. Even if, visually, price could “look” like it might resume upward, the indicator is not providing a directional edge yet.
If you are already short, treat DISAGREE as a signal to take profit, tighten the stop, or scale out.
Setup 4 — When similar conditions return
Setup 4 — Impulse + Exhaustion conditions
In this screenshot, you’re basically seeing a “timing warning” configuration. Price prints a sharp bearish extension, but Pulsar Heatmap is not presenting it as a clean continuation setup: the center read is NEUTRAL 0%, while the timed engine shows both Absorption = SHORT and Exhaustion = SHORT. That combination often means: the downside pressure was real, but the move is already in a late/fragile phase (good for managing an existing short, not for opening a new one).
This tool uses available volume data from your data provider and approximates flow via OBV/CVD-style logic; results can differ across symbols/brokers and sessions. This script is for educational/analytical purposes and is not financial advice.
