Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity

12 hours ago

Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.

The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.

The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.

All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:

🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions

🔴 = bearish / weak conditions

⚫ = neutral / flat

🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)

🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)

| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |

How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.


Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.

The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.

Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.

Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

Release Notes

Update Notes — v1.3

Bug Fix:
Resolved an issue where down-arrow signals for short entries were not appearing under certain market conditions.

Enhancements:
Added Bull and Bear Gates in the top-right HUD table. These provide real-time confirmations by showing which key conditions (RVOL, zΔ, CVDΔ, VWAP, etc.) are aligned or blocking a signal.

Improved internal signal logic for more consistent and accurate real-time updates.
