🔍 What This Indicator Does

Profit Bottoms is a custom momentum oscillator designed to reveal price strength inflections through correlation logic. It identifies potential market exhaustion zones, highlights overbought/oversold conditions, and visually marks swing tops and bottoms — helping traders pinpoint profit-taking opportunities or early reversals across any asset or timeframe.

It features a flexible histogram view, color-coded background trends, and precision labels for clearer insight into market sentiment momentum shifts.

⚙️ How It Works

At the core of this indicator is a correlation function:
• It measures how strongly the price (close) correlates with bar index progression over a lookback window — essentially evaluating how directional recent price action has been.
• This results in a “strength index” ranging between +1 (strong uptrend) and -1 (strong downtrend).
• It tracks the slope of this index to infer trend direction and visually represent shifts.

From there, the indicator layers on:
• Dynamic overbought/oversold zones (±0.9)
• Swing high/low detection based on local peaks and troughs
• Trend background shading based on momentum slope
• Optional histogram and fill display styles

🧠 How to Interpret in Different Market Conditions

Condition Interpretation
Strength Index near +1 Strong upward correlation — trend likely maturing or overbought
Strength Index near -1 Strong downward correlation — trend possibly exhausted or oversold
Cross below 0 Momentum shift from bullish to bearish
Cross above 0 Momentum shift from bearish to bullish
Swing Top Detected Potential short-term exhaustion — profit zone for longs
Swing Bottom Detected Early reversal zone or buying opportunity

The colored background makes it easy to visually segment the chart by trend environment, while the swing markers and zone labels add precision entry/exit timing cues.

🧪 Use Cases & Strategy Tips
• Scalpers & intraday traders: Use swing tops/bottoms with zone labels for tight entries.
• Swing traders: Watch for strength fading as a warning sign to exit positions.
• Divergence Spotting: Compare price action to the oscillator for hidden signals.
• Momentum Riders: Use histogram mode with background coloring to stay in trend longer.

For example:

If you see a swing bottom occur just below the -0.9 zone, paired with a background color flip from red to green — that’s a high-probability setup for reversion or breakout.
