Volume Flow Anatomy [Kodexius]Volume Flow Anatomy is a dynamic, multi-dimensional volume map that reconstructs how buy, sell, and “stealth” activity is distributed across price rather than just across time. Instead of relying on a static, session-based volume profile, it uses an exponentially decaying memory of recent bars to build a constantly evolving “anatomy” of the auction, where each price level carries an adaptive history of order flow.
The script separates buy vs. sell pressure, adds a third “Stealth Flow” dimension for low-volume price movement (ease of movement / divergence), and automatically derives POC, Value Area, imbalances, absorption zones, and classic profile shapes (D, P, b, B). This gives the trader a compact but highly information-dense map on the right side of the chart to read control (buyers vs. sellers), structure (balanced vs. trending vs. double distribution), and key reaction levels (support/resistance born from flow, not just wicks).
🔹 Features
🔸 Dynamic Lookback with Decay
- The script computes an effective lookback N from the Decay Factor and caps it with Max Lookback.
- Higher decay keeps more history; lower decay emphasizes the most recent flow.
- The profile continuously adapts as new bars are printed.
🔸 Price-Bucketed Flow Map
Each bucket accumulates:
- Sell Flow (sell pressure)
- Buy Flow (buy pressure)
- Stealth Flow (low-volume price movement)
- Box width at each bucket is proportional to the relative intensity of that component.
🔸 Stealth Flow (Low-Volume Price Movement)
- Measures close to close movement relative to volume, emphasizing price movement that occurs on comparatively low volume.
- Helps reveal hidden participation, inefficient moves, and areas that may be vulnerable to re-tests or reversions.
🔸 POC & 70% Value Area (VA)
- Identifies the Point of Control (price bucket with the highest total volume) over the effective lookback.
- Builds a 70% Value Area by expanding from POC towards the nearest high volume neighbors until 70% of the total volume is included.
- POC is drawn as a line over the analyzed range; VA is displayed as a shaded band in the profile area.
🔸 Market Profile Shape Detection
Splits the profile vertically into three zones (bottom / middle / top) and compares their volume distribution.
Classifies structure as:
- D-Shape (Balanced)
- P-Shape (Short Covering)
- b-Shape (Long Liquidation)
- B-Shape (Double Distribution)
Displays a shape label with color coded bias for quick auction context interpretation.
🔸 Imbalance Zones & Absorption
Imbalance: detects buckets where Buy Flow or Sell Flow exceeds the opposite side by at least Imbalance Ratio.
Absorption: flags zones with high volume but low price “ease”, where price is not moving much despite significant volume.
Extends these levels into horizontal zones, marking potential support/resistance and trap areas.
Bullish Imbalance Zone :
Bearish Imbalance Zone :
Absorption Zone :
🔸 Range Context & On-Chart Legend
Draws a Range Box covering the dynamically determined lookback (N bars), with a label displaying the effective bar count.
A bottom-right legend summarizes:
- Color keys for Buy / Sell / Stealth
- POC / VA status
- Bullish vs. Bearish dominance percentage
- Profile shape classification
- Imbalance and Absorption conventions
🔹 Calculations
1. Dynamic Lookback & Price Buckets
int N = math.min(int(4 / (1 - decayFactor) - 1), maxHistory)
float priceHigh = ta.highest(high, N)
float priceLow = ta.lowest(low, N)
float bucketSize = (priceHigh - priceLow) / bucketCount
The effective lookback N is derived from the Decay Factor, using the approximation 4 / (1 - decay) to capture roughly 99% of the decayed influence, then capped with maxHistory to control performance. Over that adaptive range, the script finds the highest and lowest prices and divides the band into bucketCount equal slices (bucketSize). Each slice is a price bucket that will accumulate volume-flow information.
2. Exponentially Decayed Volume Allocation
addValue(array profile, float weight, float minPrice, float maxPrice) =>
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float bucketMin = priceLow + j * bucketSize
float bucketMax = bucketMin + bucketSize
float overlapMin = math.max(minPrice, bucketMin)
float overlapMax = math.min(maxPrice, bucketMax)
float overlapRange = overlapMax - overlapMin
if overlapRange > 0
profile.set(j, profile.get(j) * decayFactor + weight * overlapRange)
This function is the core engine of the indicator. For a given price span and intensity, it checks every bucket for overlap, distributes the weight proportionally to the overlapping range, and before adding new value, decays the existing bucket content by decayFactor. This results in an exponentially weighted profile: recent activity dominates, while older levels retain a gradually fading footprint.
3. POC and 70% Value Area
array totalProfile = array.new(bucketCount, 0)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float total = sellProfile.get(j) + buyProfile.get(j)
totalProfile.set(j, total)
if total > eaMax
eaMax := total
int pocIdx = 0
float pocVal = 0.0
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
if totalProfile.get(j) > pocVal
pocVal := totalProfile.get(j)
pocIdx := j
float totalSum = totalProfile.sum()
float targetSum = totalSum * 0.70
int vaLow = pocIdx
int vaHigh = pocIdx
float currentSum = pocVal
while currentSum < targetSum and (vaLow > 0 or vaHigh < bucketCount - 1)
float lowVal = vaLow > 0 ? totalProfile.get(vaLow - 1) : 0.0
float highVal = vaHigh < bucketCount - 1 ? totalProfile.get(vaHigh + 1) : 0.0
First, totalProfile is built as the sum of buy and sell flow per bucket, and eaMax (the maximum total) is tracked for later normalization. The POC bucket (pocIdx) is simply the index with the highest totalProfile value.
To compute the 70% Value Area, the algorithm starts at the POC bucket and expands outward, each step adding either the upper or lower neighbor depending on which has more volume. This continues until the cumulative volume reaches 70% of totalSum. The result is a volume-driven VA, not necessarily symmetric around POC, which more accurately represents where the market has truly traded.
4. Market Profile Shape Classification
float volTopThird = 0.0
float volMidThird = 0.0
float volBotThird = 0.0
int thirdIdx = int(bucketCount / 3)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float val = totalProfile.get(j)
if j < thirdIdx
volBotThird += val
else if j < thirdIdx * 2
volMidThird += val
else
volTopThird += val
float totalVolShape = totalProfile.sum()
string shapeStr = "D-Shape (Balanced)"
if (volTopThird > totalVolShape * 0.20) and (volBotThird > totalVolShape * 0.20) and (volMidThird < totalVolShape * 0.50)
shapeStr := "B-Shape (Double Dist)"
else
if pocIdx > bucketCount * 0.5 and volTopThird > volBotThird * 1.3
shapeStr := "P-Shape (Short Covering)"
else if pocIdx < bucketCount * 0.5 and volBotThird > volTopThird * 1.3
shapeStr := "b-Shape (Long Liquidation)"
else
shapeStr := "D-Shape (Balanced)"
The profile is split into bottom, middle, and top thirds. The script compares how much volume is concentrated in each and combines that with the relative location of POC. If both extremes are heavy and the middle light, it labels a B-Shape (double distribution). If the POC is high and the top dominates the bottom, it’s a P-Shape (short covering). If the POC is low and the bottom dominates, it’s a b-Shape (long liquidation). Otherwise, it defaults to a D-Shape (balanced). This provides a quick, at-a-glance assessment of auction structure.
5. Imbalances, Absorption & Zones
bool isBuyImb = showImb and sVal > 0 and (bVal / sVal >= imbRatio)
bool isSellImb = showImb and bVal > 0 and (sVal / bVal >= imbRatio)
float volRatio = eaMax > 0 ? tVal / eaMax : 0
float stRatio = esmRange > 0 ? (stVal - esmMin) / esmRange : 1.0
bool isAbsorp = showAbsorp and volRatio > 0.6 and stRatio < 0.25
if showImbZone
if isSellImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isBuyImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isAbsorp
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
Imbalances are identified where one side’s volume (buy or sell) exceeds the other by at least Imbalance Ratio. These buckets are marked as buy or sell imbalance zones, indicating aggressive participation from one side.
Absorption is detected by combining a high volume ratio (volRatio) with a low normalized stealth ratio (stRatio). High volume with limited price movement suggests that opposing orders are absorbing flow at that level. Both imbalance and absorption buckets are extended into horizontal zones from the start of the lookback to the current bar, visually emphasizing key support/resistance and liquidity areas.
6. Building Buy, Sell & Stealth Profiles
sellProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
buyProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
stealthProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
Three arrays are used to store Sell Flow, Buy Flow, and Stealth Flow. Bars are processed from oldest to newest so that decay is applied in correct chronological order. For each bar, a volume density (volume / range) is calculated and distributed across the candle range. Bull candles feed buyProfile, bear candles feed sellProfile.
Stealth Flow computes the close-to-close move between consecutive bars, scaled by 1 / (1 + volume). Big moves on low volume produce high stealth values, which are then allocated across the move’s price span into stealthProfile. This yields a three-layer profile per price level: directional volume and stealthy price movement.

X FP Imbalancesprovides advanced volume profile analysis by isolating and visualizing market aggression at a granular price level. It is a powerful tool for short-term and intraday traders seeking objective confirmation of supply and demand dynamics, primarily used to identify high-probability reversal or continuation points based on order flow principles.
Key Functionality and Methodology
The indicator operates by transforming standard time-based candle data into a Volume-at-Price footprint, focusing specifically on aggressive market activity.
Granular Aggression Measurement (Delta)
The script dynamically segments the price range into discrete price levels (tickAmount). This granularity is controlled either by a user-defined fixed tick count or automatically adjusted using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt the box size to current market volatility.
The script uses lower timeframe data (e.g., 1-minute bars) to accurately distribute the total volume into each price level, distinguishing between aggressive buying (Up Volume) and aggressive selling (Down Volume).
The core output is Delta, which is the net difference between aggressive buying and aggressive selling at each price level.
Stacked Imbalance Identification
The indicator identifies an imbalance when the volume from one side (e.g., aggressive buyers) overwhelms the total volume at that level by a user-defined percentage (imbalanceP).
A single price level where the Delta percentage exceeds the threshold is defined as an Imbalance.
The Stacked Imbalance is the primary signal, triggered when the imbalance is detected on a user-defined number of consecutive price levels (stacked) in the same direction (e.g., 3 consecutive levels of aggressive buying). This signals a high-conviction structural break or strong rejection.
Stacked imbalances are visually highlighted and can trigger real-time alerts upon bar close.
Strategic Applications
This indicator is invaluable for traders who integrate order flow concepts into their decision-making process.
One-Sided Stack (Supply/Demand Zone): Aggressive selling (Red Stack) at a high price, followed by price reversal, identifies a Structural Supply Zone (Resistance). The level is where sellers aggressively rejected demand, leaving an untested area of supply.
Overlapping Stacks (Climax Reversal): Consecutive Buy Stacks followed immediately by Sell Stacks in a tight range signals Buyer Exhaustion and an immediate Climax Reversal. The buying power was absorbed and instantly overwhelmed by waiting supply.
Absence of Stack: When price moves sharply through a level without creating any Stacked Imbalances, it suggests an Orderly Move or Liquidity Void. The absence of resistance means the market move is structurally weak and often vulnerable to a retest.
The choice between a Fixed Tick Distance (for micro-pattern precision) and ATR-based sizing (for volatility-adjusted analysis) allows the user to tailor the indicator to specific asset classes and trading styles.
Volume Threshold Levels - Crypto LidyaVolume Threshold Levels – Crypto Lidya
Understanding volume behavior is one of the most effective ways to detect trend changes, manipulation candles, aggressive entries, and institutional activity.

SYXX - HTF Candle Overlay
This script, titled "HTF Candle Overlay by SYXX," is designed to visualize the full range and structure of a higher-timeframe (HTF) candle directly onto a lower-timeframe chart. It helps traders maintain context by showing where the current price action sits relative to a much larger candle's boundaries. Combined with LuxAlgo Volume Node Profile.
1. 🔍 Primary Feature: Higher Timeframe Candle Projection
Configurable Timeframe: The user sets the desired HTF using the Interval input, which defaults to 'D' (Daily). The indicator then tracks the High, Low, Open, and Close of that HTF bar.
Live and Historical Drawing: The script uses box.new to draw boxes representing the candle's full range (High to Low).
Historical Boxes (if changeHTF): When a new HTF candle closes, the completed box for the previous period is drawn.
Live Box (if barstate.islast): The indicator draws a live, dynamic box for the current, incomplete HTF candle, which expands with every new High or Low on the lower chart.
2. 🎨 Visualization & Customization
Color-Coded Bias: The boxes are colored based on the HTF candle's direction:
Bullish/Long (BgLong): Green color is used if the HTF candle closed higher than it opened (close > htfOpen).
Bearish/Short (BgShort): Red color is used if the HTF candle closed lower than it opened.
Box Styling: Users can customize the box's appearance, including border color and style, border thickness, and background opacity (BoxOpacity).
Midline: An optional MidLine is calculated as the average of the HTF High and Low, acting as a potential support/resistance reference point.
Range Display: The indicator can display the range of the box in pips (BoxRangePips) or the percentage of movement relative to the full range (BoxRangePercentage).
Time Labels: It plots time labels that show the start and end time of the completed HTF period (e.g., "07:00 - 11:00").
3. 🚨 Alert System (Placeholders)
The script includes placeholder inputs for standard trading alerts, though the internal logic for checking these conditions is currently commented out or set to false:
Alert: Break Above/Below Box: To signal a breakout of the HTF High or Low.

Overview
The "Wick to Body Ratio Table" is a comprehensive analytical tool designed to provide traders with detailed insights into candle structure and price movement dynamics. This indicator breaks down each candle into its component parts and displays real-time statistics in an easy-to-read table format.
What It Does
This indicator analyzes the current candle and displays four key metrics for each component:
Ratio to Body - How large each wick is compared to the candle body
Percentage of Total - What portion of the entire candle each component represents
Move Percentage - The actual price movement as a percentage from the opening price
Component breakdown - Upper wick, body, lower wick, and totals
Key Features
Real-Time Analysis:
Updates automatically with every price tick on the current candle
Works seamlessly across ALL timeframes (1 second to monthly charts)
No lag or delay in calculations
Comprehensive Metrics:
Upper Wick: Shows rejection from higher prices and selling pressure
Closed Body: Displays the actual price change from open to close (bullish=green, bearish=red)
Lower Wick: Indicates rejection from lower prices and buying pressure
Total Wick: Combined wick analysis for overall volatility assessment
Whole Candle: Complete range from high to low with total movement percentage
Visual Design:
Color-coded rows for easy identification
Clear headers for each metric column
Positioned at top-right of chart (non-intrusive)
Professional table format with borders and proper spacing
How to Interpret the Data
Ratio to Body Column:
A ratio of 2.0x means that component is twice the size of the body
N/A appears for doji candles (when body = 0)
Higher ratios indicate stronger rejection or indecision
% of Total Column:
Shows what percentage each part contributes to the whole candle
All percentages always add up to 100%
Helps identify if price spent more time in wicks or body
Move % Column:
Calculated from the opening price
Shows actual volatility during the candle period
Example: 0.5% body with 3% total candle = high volatility but little net movement
Trading Applications
1. Rejection Analysis:
Long upper wicks at resistance = strong selling pressure
Long lower wicks at support = strong buying pressure
Wick-to-body ratios above 2:1 suggest significant rejection
2. Volatility Assessment:
Compare body move % to whole candle move %
Large difference indicates choppy price action
Small difference indicates trending movement
3. Candle Patterns:
Identify doji, hammer, shooting star patterns quantitatively
Measure strength of pin bars and rejection candles
Compare current candle structure to historical patterns
4. Market Sentiment:
Body % > 70% = strong directional movement
Wick % > 60% = indecision and rejection

UM OBV with Signal (EMA/SMA/WMA/NWE)SUMMARY
A visual OBV trend tool that highlights bullish and bearish volume pressure using smart smoothing and intuitive color-coding.
⸻
WHY THIS INDICATOR?
There are only three variables you can adjust on a chart: price, volume, and time. I wanted a good volume indicator.
⸻
DESCRIPTION
This tool extends classic On-Balance Volume with selectable trend smoothing (EMA, SMA, WMA, or NWE) and visual directional coloring on both OBV and the Signal line. Green shows bullish volume flow, red shows bearish volume flow. Optional crossover markers help confirm shifts in buying pressure.
Nadaraya-Watson Regression (NWE) provides a smooth, non-MA alternative for filtering volume trend noise, and optional dual-NWE coloring helps reduce false flips in choppy markets.
⸻
THE CHART
The indicator is added twice at the bottom; once with a 21 EMA and again with a 55 SMA. The chart has text and illustrations to show where the OBV flipped colors. More red equals more selling pressure. More green equals more buying volume or pressure.
⸻
DEFAULTS
• OBV smoothing length = 3
• Signal = 21 EMA
• Crossover bubbles are hidden/off by default
⸻
SUGGESTED USES
• Combine with price structure, momentum, or volatility tools to confirm trend strength.
• Try switching between EMA and NWE on faster intraday charts to see volume trend earlier.
• Use crossover signals as secondary confirmation rather than standalone entries.
• Use this indicator with your other favorite indicators for confirmation.
• Select timeframes suitable to your style of trading.
• I use the 30-minute, 6-hour, and Daily timeframes.
• I question myself if I am buying something with this indicator being red.
• Experiment with various timeframes and settings.
⸻
AUTHOR OBSERVATIONS
OBV often turns before price—especially when volume surges ahead of breakout levels.
NWE tends to smooth choppy OBV much better than traditional moving averages in noisy markets.
Look for Signal color flips at key support/resistance or volatility inflection points.
⸻
ALERTS
Right-click the indicator and choose Add alert… – two presets are available:
• Bullish OBV Turning Up
• Bearish OBV Turning Down
Compression / ExpansionI created this Indicator to warn of compression and expansion so I could find the best area to trade I use it In conjunction with VWAP works on any timeframe and any asset where there is Volume
The Indicator produces a Letter C at the Start of Compression and a Letter E at the Start of Expansion you can change the settings to your liking On the chart my Expansion is in Red and compression is is Blue use In Conjunction with your favorite Indicators for Confluence

Smart Money Scanner Suite v6 - OptimizedWHAT IT DOES (longer version in the script):
// Identifies "Smart Money Stepping Back" (SMSB) zones where institutions quietly
// build positions without moving the market. Signals appear when ALL 4 conditions align:
//
// 1. OBV DIVERGENCE → Price up/OBV down (distribution) or Price down/OBV up (accumulation)
// 2. LOW VOLUME → Below 1.5x average (stealth activity)
// 3. NEAR VWAP → Within 0.5% (institutional fair value)
// 4. HTF CONFIRMATION → Higher timeframe shows directional momentum
Bayesian Liquidity Pain & Gain [Instit. Vol Weighted]Bayesian Liquidity Pain & Gain Indicator
Stop guessing where support and resistance are.
The Bayesian Liquidity Pain & Gain indicator moves beyond arbitrary lines and raw price action. It quantifies Institutional Intent by calculating the exact price levels where large volume has been accumulated and visualizes the "Pain" (stress) those participants feel when the market moves against them.
The Logic: Quantified Institutional Stress
Institutions don't trade single candles; they accumulate positions over time. This indicator tracks their Volume-Weighted Average Cost Basis to answer two critical questions:
Where did they enter? (The Cost Basis Lines)
Are they underwater? (The Pain Clouds)
By normalizing price distance using volatility (ATR) and statistical deviation (Z-Score), we filter out noise and only highlight zones where "Smart Money" is statistically forced to defend their positions or capitulate.
How to Read the Chart
1. The Cost Basis Lines (Anchors)
• 🟢 Green Line (Buyer Cost Basis): The average price where institutions accumulated long positions. This acts as dynamic Support.
• 🔴 Red Line (Seller Cost Basis): The average price where institutions accumulated short positions. This acts as dynamic Resistance.
2. The Pain Clouds (Signals)
When price moves significantly away from the cost basis (Z-Score > 2.0), "Clouds" appear to visualize the PnL status of the participants:
• 🔴 Red Cloud (Buyer Pain): Price is below the buyer's entry. Buyers are losing money (in the red). This creates a "Discount" zone where they may defend support.
• 🟢 Green Cloud (Seller Pain): Price is above the seller's entry. Sellers are losing money (shorts are squeezed). This indicates strong bullish momentum.
3. The Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
A real-time HUD showing the Z-Score status across 4 timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h):
• 🟢 Green: Profitable/Neutral (Trend Continuation)
• 🟠 Orange: Warning (Pressure Building)
• 🔴 Red: Critical Pain (High Probability Reversal)
Trading Strategies
Setup 1: The Defensive Bounce (Long)
• Context: Price drops into a 🔴 Red Cloud (Buyer Pain).
• Trigger: Price touches the 🟢 Green Line (Buyer Cost Basis) and shows a rejection wick.
• Logic: Institutional buyers defend their cost basis to avoid realizing losses.
Setup 2: The Short Squeeze (Momentum)
• Context: Price rallies into a 🟢 Green Cloud (Seller Pain).
• Trigger: Price holds above the 🔴 Red Line (Seller Cost Basis).
• Logic: Short sellers are trapped and forced to buy back (cover), fueling the rally.
Fractal Alignment:
For high-conviction trades, wait for the Dashboard to show "Pain" signals on both the 1h (Anchor) and 5m (Trigger) timeframes simultaneously.
Settings
• Memory Length (Default 144): The lookback period for the institutional cost basis. Increase for swing trading, decrease for scalping.
• Sigma Threshold (Default 2.0): The statistical confidence level for "Pain". Higher values = fewer, stronger signals.
• Volume Amp: When enabled, high volume amplifies the pain signal, giving more weight to institutional footprints.

YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1# YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 - SNIPER STRICT EDITION
## 🎯 CHANGELOG: What's New in v8.1
### The Problem We Fixed
**GOD MODE was handing out awards like participation trophies.** Too many wicky, indecisive candles were getting GOD MODE status just because they had enough confluence points. A GOD MODE candle should show **CLEAR DOMINANCE** - fat body, minimal adverse wick, consistent pressure throughout formation.
---
## 🔥 MAJOR CHANGES
### 1. CANDLE DOMINANCE INDEX (CDI) - NEW METRIC
The CDI quantifies "who won the candle" on a 0-10 scale:
```
CDI COMPONENTS:
├── Body Score (0-4 pts): How fat is the body?
├── Adverse Wick Score (0-3 pts): How small is the wick against direction?
├── Favorable Wick Score (0-2 pts): Clean entry side?
└── Closing Strength (0-1 pt): Did it close near the extreme?
CDI RATINGS:
├── 8.0+ = 🔥 DOMINANT (ideal for GOD MODE)
├── 6.0-7.9 = ✓✓ STRONG
├── 4.0-5.9 = ✓ ACCEPTABLE
└── <4.0 = WEAK (not GOD MODE worthy)
```
### 2. STRICT GOD MODE GATES (6 GATES)
**Score alone no longer qualifies for GOD MODE.** Now a candle must pass ALL 6 gates:
| Gate | Requirement | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| **1. Score** | Must meet GOD MODE threshold | ≥9.0 |
| **2. Body** | Body ratio must be "fat" | ≥70% |
| **3. Adverse Wick** | Wick against direction must be small | ≤20% |
| **4. Delta** | Buy/sell dominance must be strong | ≥70% |
| **5. Session** | Must be in active session (configurable) | LDN/NY/PWR |
| **6. Pressure** | Intrabar pressure must be consistent | Same side dominated early AND late |
**If ANY gate fails, GOD MODE is DENIED** - even with a 10/10 score!
### 3. 30-BAR SIGNAL DISPLAY LIMIT
**Past signals are now hidden.** Only the last 30 bars show tier markers, sweeps, and absorption signals. This keeps the chart clean and focused on recent action.
```
WHAT'S HIDDEN AFTER 30 BARS:
├── Tier signals (S/A/B/Z)
├── GOD MODE markers
├── Liquidity sweep diamonds
├── Absorption crosses
└── Stop/Target lines
WHAT ALWAYS SHOWS:
├── FVG/IFVG zones (structural)
├── Order Blocks (structural)
├── Session markers (context)
└── Session background colors
```
**Configurable:** Change "Show Signals: Last N Bars" in settings (10-100)
### 4. PRESSURE CONSISTENCY TRACKING
New intrabar analysis that tracks if the **same side dominated throughout the candle**:
```
CANDLE FORMATION ANALYSIS:
├── First Half: Who dominated? (earlyBuyVol vs earlySellVol)
├── Second Half: Who dominated? (lateBuyVol vs lateSellVol)
└── Consistent? = Same side won BOTH halves
PRESSURE CONSISTENT = Buyers dominated early AND late
OR Sellers dominated early AND late
PRESSURE MIXED = Buyers dominated early, sellers late
OR Sellers dominated early, buyers late
```
**GOD MODE requires consistent pressure** when intrabar analysis is enabled.
### 5. GOD MODE DENIAL REASON IN TABLE
When a candle scores 9.0+ but fails a gate, the table now shows **WHY**:
```
DENIAL REASONS:
├── "DENIED: WICK" = Adverse wick too large (>20%)
├── "DENIED: DELTA" = Delta dominance too weak (<70%)
├── "DENIED: SESSION" = Not in active session
├── "DENIED: VOLUME" = Volume below 1.5x
└── "DENIED: PRESSURE" = Mixed pressure during formation
```

## 📊 NEW TABLE SECTIONS
### CANDLE QUALITY Section (NEW)
```
══ CANDLE QUALITY ══
Body | 78% | FAT
Adv Wick | 12% | CLEAN
CDI | 8.2/10 | 🔥
```
### INTRABAR Section (UPDATED)
```
══ INTRABAR ══
IB Data | 12 bars | ✓
IB Delta | 74% BUY | 🔥

## ⚙️ NEW SETTINGS
### CANDLE DOMINANCE (v8.1) Group
```
GOD MODE: Min Body Ratio = 0.70 (body must be 70%+ of range)
GOD MODE: Max Adverse Wick = 0.20 (wick against direction ≤20%)
GOD MODE: Min Delta Dominance = 0.70 (70%+ buy/sell dominance)
GOD MODE: Min Intrabar Delta = 0.68 (intrabar delta ≥68%)
GOD MODE: Require Active Session = ON
GOD MODE: Require 1.5x+ Volume = ON
```
### SIGNAL DISPLAY (v8.1) Group
```
Show Signals: Last N Bars = 30
Show Historical FVG/OB Zones = ON (zones always visible)
```
---
## 🎯 PRACTICAL IMPACT
### Before v8.1 (Too Many False GOD MODE)
```
Candle: 35 point move, score 9.2, BUT:
- Body only 55% of range (thin)
- Upper wick 35% (buyers got pushed back hard)
- Intrabar showed mixed pressure
RESULT: GOD MODE ⚡ (WRONG!)
```
### After v8.1 (Strict GOD MODE)
```
Same candle: Score 9.2, but:
- Gate 2 FAILED: Body 55% < 70% required
- Gate 3 FAILED: Wick 35% > 20% allowed
- Gate 6 FAILED: Pressure inconsistent
RESULT: DENIED: WICK (Correct - this was a fake-out candle)
```
---
## 🏆 THE NEW GOD MODE STANDARD
A TRUE GOD MODE candle must show:
1. **HIGH SCORE** (≥9.0) - Multiple confluence factors aligned
2. **FAT BODY** (≥70%) - Clear directional commitment
3. **CLEAN WICKS** (≤20% adverse) - Minimal pushback
4. **STRONG DELTA** (≥70%) - One side clearly dominated
5. **IN SESSION** - Institutional participation
6. **CONSISTENT PRESSURE** - Same side controlled throughout
**Translation:** *"Institutions stepped in with size, pushed hard in one direction, and never let up. No hesitation, no give-back. This is a candle that means business."*
---
## 📈 YM/MYM OPTIMIZATION NOTES
The default settings are tuned for YM's characteristics:
- Lower volatility than NQ/GC/BTC → Tighter gates work better
- 50 pts for S-Tier is already conservative
- 70% body ratio filters out the indecisive noise
- Session requirement is crucial - YM moves on institutional flow
### Low Volume Conditions
The strict gates actually **help** in low volume:
- Wicky candles (common in low vol) get filtered
- Pressure consistency catches fake moves
- CDI prevents thin-body noise from triggering
---
## 🚀 QUICK START
1. Apply v8.1 to your 5-minute YM chart
2. Set intrabar to "1" (1-minute) or "100T" (tick)
3. Watch the CANDLE QUALITY section in the table
4. GOD MODE will now be RARE - but TRUSTWORTHY
5. Check the DENIAL reason if score is 9+ but no ⚡
