Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)

🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual
Then this tool belongs in your chart arsenal.
📈 Try it. Test it. Pair it. If you find value, consider sharing or following for more next-gen indicators.
Please note this is an educational idea and past performance is not assurance of future performance.
Happy trading!
