Inducement [Kodexius]

Inducement is a market structure overlay indicator designed to help you contextualize liquidity driven pullbacks inside an established structural trend. Rather than treating every sweep or wick as equal, it frames “inducement” as a selective event that tends to appear after structure has shifted and price is engineering a retracement to attract late participants, clear nearby liquidity, and create fuel for continuation.

At a high level, the script separates price action into two layers:

External (macro) structure to define meaningful swing points and detect structural shifts (Break of Structure).

Internal (micro) structure to locate the more subtle swing levels that are commonly targeted during retracements.

Once a valid structural break establishes directional context, the indicator looks for a characteristic internal level raid that occurs without invalidating the broader structure (i.e., structure remains “protected”). When that raid is followed by evidence of intent/continuation (displacement style behavior), the event is marked as an inducement and plotted directly on the chart.

The result is a clean, rules based way to highlight high probability “pullback bait” zones helping you distinguish between random noise and a retracement that is more consistent with structured continuation behavior.



🔹 Features

🔸 Dual Layer Swing Engine (Internal vs External)
Internal and external swing detection work together to separate micro structure from macro structure. Internal swings capture nearer term pivot behavior, while external swings define the larger structural framework. Sensitivity can be tuned through swing length inputs, and historical depth can be managed to keep the chart clean and performance stable.

🔸 Break of Structure (BOS) Context Filter
BOS acts as a context gate that defines the active directional regime. Rather than generating signals in isolation, inducement evaluation is tied to structural context, enabling cleaner interpretation of “what matters now” versus what is simply historical noise.

🔸 Structure Protection (Invalidation Awareness)
A key differentiator is the emphasis on structure staying intact. Inducement candidates are only considered while the relevant macro framework remains protected. This helps filter out pullback like events that are actually part of a reversal or breakdown sequence, keeping attention aligned with continuation friendly conditions.

🔸 Inducement Detection With Optional Sweep Strictness
Inducements are derived from internal levels that form around post break retracement behavior levels that are commonly “targeted” during pullbacks. You can choose a stricter interpretation (e.g., close confirmation) for stronger validation, or a more permissive interpretation if you prefer to capture wick based raids while still requiring follow through behavior.





🔸 Intent / Displacement Confirmation (Volatility Aware)
To reduce false positives from shallow noise, the script incorporates a volatility aware confirmation layer. This helps ensure the marked event is not just a minor sweep, but is followed by behavior more consistent with directional commitment improving selectivity across different assets and market conditions.

🔸 Clean On Chart Visualization (BOS + IDM Levels)
The overlay is designed to be readable and practical: BOS levels are presented clearly, and inducements are marked with distinct level styling and labeling (bullish vs bearish). The visual output aims to support fast decision making without overwhelming the chart.

🔸 Chart Hygiene Controls (Limit Visible History)
You can limit how many historical inducements remain visible to prevent clutter especially helpful on lower timeframes or long sessions. This keeps focus on the most relevant, recent structural narrative.

🔸 Designed for Confluence Based Trading Workflows
This indicator is best used as a context + trigger assistant, not a standalone entry system. It integrates naturally with higher timeframe bias, session logic, supply/demand mapping, execution models, and risk planning providing structure aligned pullback references you can combine with your own confirmations.
