Opening Power Bar Strategy (Trade Your Edge)💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy indicator identifies high-momentum “Power Bars” during the first 60 minutes of the New York session and generates Long/Short signals using levels from the pre-market session. The indicator plots Stop-Loss and three Take-Profit levels, manages dynamic trailing stop-loss logic (optional), displays pre-market levels, and supports alerts.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Steven Adams (Trade Your Edge).
🔹What is the purpose of the Opening Power Bar Strategy?:
The purpose of the Opening Power Bar Strategy is to trade the most active and meaningful part of the trading day, the opening move. It’s designed to take advantage of the volume and volatility that happens right after the market opens, when traders react to overnight news and pre-market movement. The indicator helps identify when that early move has real strength by looking for a large, decisive candle (a Power Bar) forming around key pre-market levels. Once it detects one, it builds a full trade plan automatically with entry, stop-loss, and take-profits.
🔹Why are signals only during the first 60 minutes?:
Most of the day’s total trading volume happens within the first 60 minutes after the market opens. This period usually sets the high or low of the day and defines the bias: whether the market will trend or stay in a range. After this first hour, volume and volatility typically decrease, and price movement becomes less consistent.
🔹What’s the theory behind the Opening Power Bar Strategy?:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy is built on a simple principle: the first hour after the market open sets the tone for the rest of the day. This period consistently shows the highest trading volume, as traders react to overnight news, economic data releases, pre-market movements, etc.
These early reactions often establish the day’s high/low, revealing where buyers or sellers are strongest. When a large, decisive candle (a Power Bar) forms during this time near the pre-market high or low, it confirms that one side is taking control. The pre-market high and low define the range that institutions and short-term traders had already reacted to before the market open. Thus, when a Power Bar forms near one of these levels during the first hour, it often marks the start of a breakout or rejection that shapes the rest of the session.
🎯 OPENING POWER BAR STRATEGY FEATURES:

1️⃣ Power Bars:
🔹What are Power Bars?:
Power Bars are large, high-momentum candles that show strength in one direction of the market. They form when a candle’s body (the distance between open and close) dominates most of the candle’s total range (the distance between high and low), meaning price moved strongly in one direction with little to no pullback. To qualify, the candle must also be large relative to nearby candles. This size difference confirms that the candle is a true burst of momentum. In short, Power Bars reveal where real strength has just entered the market and where momentum is most likely to continue.
🔹How to interpret and use Power Bars:
When a Power Bar forms, it signals that price just made a strong directional move with little to no pullback. Traders can use these bars to identify momentum shifts and potential trade setups during the opening session.
A bullish Power Bar means buyers controlled the entire candle, often marking the start of upward momentum. A bearish Power Bar means sellers were in control the entire candle, often signaling the start of downwards momentum. In the Opening Power Bar Strategy, these candles are only used for signals when they appear within the pre-market high and low range. Their location relative to the pre-market midline determines direction bias:
Bullish Power Bars forming near the pre-market low can signal potential long opportunities.
Bearish Power Bars forming near the pre-market high can signal potential short opportunities.
🔹How are Power Bars identified?:
Power Bars are detected and confirmed only after the candle closes, ensuring that the full candlestick body and range can be measured. The indicator does not repaint or change past bars. Once a Power Bar is confirmed, it stays fixed on the chart. Power Bars can be detected on any timeframe or symbol that produces standard candlestick data. However, since the Opening Power Bar Strategy focuses on the first 60 minutes of the trading session, they’re most meaningful on lower intraday timeframes such as 1-minute to 5-minute charts.
The indicator identifies Power Bars using two user-defined inputs: Sensitivity and Body %.
🔹Sensitivity:
The Sensitivity setting determines how large a candle’s body must be relative to nearby candles. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to compare the current candle’s size with recent candles, and the Sensitivity value acts as a multiplier of that ATR. A higher Sensitivity value means the candle must be much larger than recent candles to qualify, so fewer Power Bars will form. A lower value makes the filter less strict, allowing more candles to qualify.
🔹Body %:
The Body % setting controls what percentage of the candle’s total range must be body rather than Wick. A higher value requires the body to take up more of the candle’s total range, so fewer candles pass the filter. A lower value allows candles with more wick to qualify, so more Power Bars will form.
Body % Example:
If Body % is set to 50, the candle body must cover at least half of the candle’s total range. For example, if a candle’s high is $11, its low is $10, its open is $10.20, and its close is $10.80, then the total range is $1 ($11 - $10) and the body is $0.60 ($10.80 - $10.20). Body % = (Body / Total Range) * 100 = (0.60 ÷ 1.00 × 100) = 60%. Since 60% is greater than the input of 50%, this candle passes the Body % criteria.
Once a candlestick closes and it meets both the Sensitivity and Body % requirements, it will be plotted in a different color, using barcolor() function. Users can adjust the bullish/bearish colors of Power Bars by adjusting the ‘Candle Coloring’ setting. The Power Bar candle coloring is purely visual and does not affect signal logic or strategy calculations.
🔹Do Power Bars form outside the first 60 minutes?:
Power Bars can technically form at any time of day, but the Opening Power Bar Strategy only uses those formed between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM ET for trade signals.
2️⃣ Pre-Market Levels
The indicator tracks pre-market price action from 4:10 AM EST until 9:29 AM EST to determine the session’s High and Low. When pre-market ends, both levels are drawn and continuously projected to the right throughout the regular session. A midline is calculated as the midpoint between those levels and is used to determine bullish or bearish bias at the open. This midline is calculated in the indicator’s background and not visually plotted.
Long signals require price to be positioned below the midline before breaking upward, and Short signals require price to be positioned above the midline before breaking downward.
Users can enable retest labels, which appear if price touches the pre-market low, and closes above it, or if price touches the pre-market high, and closes below it. Users can also enable/disable the pre-market levels. If disabled, the pre-market high and pre-market low levels will not be displayed.
3️⃣Long/Short Signals:
Long and Short signals only trigger during the first hour of the New York trading session, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM EST. These signals form between the Pre-Market Low (PML) and Pre-Market High (PMH).
▫️ A Long entry requires:
1) A bullish power bar forms
1.a) The candle’s low is < the 50% area or Midpoint of the PML/PMH range
1.b) The candle closes above the PML, but below the PMH
2) If this candle occurs between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM, a long signal will appear.
▫️ A Short Entry requires:
1) A bearish power bar forms
1a) The candle’s high is > the 50% area or Midpoint of the PML/PMH range
1b) The candle closes below the PMH, but above the PML
2) If this candle occurs between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM, a short signal will appear.
Only one trade can be active at a time. Users can enable or disable Long Signals and Short Signals independently. Entry markers appear directly on the chart at confirmation.
When a signal is plotted on the Power Bar’s candle close, the indicator automatically builds a rule-based trade structure and plots the following information:
Stop-Loss (SL)
Take-Profit 1 (TP 1)
Take-Profit 2 (TP 2)
Take-Profit 3 (TP 3)
For Long signals, the SL is placed at the low of the bullish Power Bar and TP 1 is placed at the PMH. The distances for TP 2 and TP 3 are then measured using the move from the entry price to TP 1. That same distance is added once above TP 1 to set TP 2, and added again above TP 2 to set TP 3.
For Short signals, the SL is placed at the high of the bearish Power Bar, and TP 1 is placed at the PML. The distances for TP 2 and TP 3 are then measured using the absolute value of the move from the entry price to TP 1. That same distance is subtracted once below TP 1 to set TP 2, and subtracted again below TP 2 to set TP 3.
🔹Trailing Stop-Loss Feature:
When the Trailing Stop-Loss setting is enabled, the Stop-Loss (SL) automatically adjusts as price reaches take-profit levels. This feature helps secure profits while keeping the trade logic completely rule-based and non-discretionary.
Here’s exactly how it works step-by-step:
▫️ Initial Stop-Loss placement:
For a Long trade, the initial SL is set at the low of the Power Bar that triggered the entry.
For a Short trade, the initial SL is set at the high of the Power Bar that triggered the entry.
This level stays fixed until one of the Take-Profit targets is reached.
▫️ After TP 1 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to the entry price (breakeven).
This eliminates all downside risk on the trade.
▫️ After TP2 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to TP 1
This locks in a partial profit while allowing the trade to continue toward TP 3.
▫️ Final exit condition:
The trade is considered complete once either the trailing Stop-Loss or TP 3 is reached.
4️⃣Simple Moving Average (SMA)
In addition to the core trade logic, the indicator includes an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) that provides extra confirmation and context for interpreting Power Bar signals. The SMA is not related to any of the signal generation logic. It does not influence when or where Power Bars or trade signals appear. Instead, it serves as a contextual confirmation tool and should be used as an additional way to interpret the strength and quality of a setup once a signal is triggered.
There are a few ways the SMA can be used for extra context with the Opening Power Bar Strategy:
▫️ #1 Directional Confirmation:
The SMA is mainly used as a confirmation tool for countertrend Power Bar setups. It helps traders identify when a strong reversal may be developing against the prior trend.
When the SMA is sloping downward but a bullish Power Bar closes above it, that can signal a potential shift from bearish to bullish momentum.
When the SMA is sloping upward but a bearish Power Bar closes below it, that can indicate a possible transition from bullish to bearish conditions.
▫️ #2 Timing Entries
When a large Power Bar prints a signal far away from the SMA, it often indicates that price has moved quickly and temporarily extended away from its average level. In these cases, the SMA can be used as a pullback area where price may retrace before resuming its move. Waiting for this pullback can often lead to a better risk-to-reward trade setup.
For example, in the chart below, a strong bullish Power Bar formed and triggered a Long signal while closing well above the SMA. Entering immediately after the signal would have produced a 0.22 risk-to-reward to TP 1. However, waiting for price to retrace back toward the SMA before entering would have resulted in a much stronger 2.46 risk-to-reward ratio.
The SMA provides a simple way to identify areas for safer pullback entries when a Power Bar signal forms too far from its average level. This helps traders maintain consistency with their risk-to-reward targets and align entries with their trading plan.
▫️ #3 Risk/Trade Management:
During active trades, the SMA can also be used to gauge the healthiness of a trend.
If price continues to respect the SMA after entry, it supports holding the position toward later Take-Profit levels. Additionally, the SMA can highlight areas where traders may consider adding to existing positions if price respects it.
If price closes strongly back through the SMA in the opposite direction, traders may use that as an early exit or a signal that momentum has shifted.
▫️ Optional and Visual Only:
The SMA is an optional visual overlay that can be turned on or off in the indicator’s settings. It is purely there for traders who want an added layer of confirmation and structure when evaluating setups from the Opening Power Bar Strategy.
Users can customize the length of the SMA and the color within the settings.
📢 Alerts:
The indicator supports alerts, so you never miss a key market move. You can choose to receive alerts for each of the following conditions:
Long Signal
Short Signal
TP 1 (Take-Profit 1)
TP 2 (Take-Profit 2)
TP 3 (Take-Profit 3)
SL (Stop-Loss)
Pre-Market Low Retest
Pre-Market High Retest
🚩UNIQUENESS:
This indicator automates a structured opening-range strategy that traders typically manage manually each morning. It identifies valid Power Bars only when they occur inside the pre-market high/low range, confirms direction using pre-market midline context, and automatically builds risk targets using the pre-market range itself. Once a valid trigger occurs during the defined trade window, the indicator immediately generates a complete trade idea (entry/SL/TP 1-3) with built-in trailing logic and alerts.

The Navigator Fortress (ORB M15 + H4 Filter)The Navigator Fortress is a high-probability execution engine designed specifically for the EUR/USD New York open. It utilizes a professional maritime approach to trading, moving away from retail "breakout" guessing and focusing on institutional trend alignment and volatility-based risk management.
The script automates the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) logic, but with a rigorous multi-timeframe "Compass" to filter out low-quality signals and "market noise".
🛡️ Core Pillars of the Script
The H4 Compass (Trend Alignment): The script pulls 4-hour EMA data to ensure you are only trading in the direction of the macro-trend.
Longs: Only authorized if the H4 10 EMA is above the H4 50 EMA and price is trading above both.
Shorts: Only authorized if the H4 10 EMA is below the H4 50 EMA and price is trading below both.
The Jaws: If price is oscillating between the EMAs, the script identifies this as "The Fog" (No-Trade Zone) and suppresses alerts.
The M15 Harbor (Automatic Range Mapping): The script automatically identifies and plots the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the New York session (8:30 AM – 8:45 AM CST).
The 90-Minute Window: Strictly calibrated for the highest volume period. The "Session Gates" close at 10:00 AM CST to prevent overtrading during the mid-day liquidity drop.
The Moat (Volatility-Based Risk): When a "Beam" (alert) fires, the script calculates a dynamic Stop Loss based on 2.0x ATR. This places your exit point beyond normal market noise, protecting you from standard "stop-hunts."
⚓ How to Execute
Alignment: Check the top-right Dashboard. Only look for trades if the Compass is "Bullish" or "Bearish."
The Beam: Wait for a candle to close outside the M15 Harbor lines.
The Entry: Upon a valid close and trend alignment, the script fires a "Beam" alert.
Risk Management: Follow the alert’s specific "Moat" price for your Stop Loss and risk no more than 1% of your account capital.
Technical Specifications
Asset: Optimized for EUR/USD.
Timeframe: M1, M5, or M15 for execution.
Timezone: Hardcoded for America/Chicago (CST) to handle Daylight Savings automatically.
Indicators Used: H4 10/50 EMA, 15-minute Opening Range, 14-period ATR.
[TA] Range Regime# Range Regime – Candle Range Monitor (RR)
## Short Description
Tracks current candle range vs historical average, flags range spikes, and labels volatility regime (LOW / NORMAL / HIGH) at a glance.
---
## What It Does
Range Regime (RR) is a volatility/range monitoring indicator designed to help you quickly understand whether the market is *quiet, normal, or expanding* on the current timeframe.
It calculates:
* Current Range
* Either Candle Range (High–Low) *or* True Range (TR)
* Average Range over a lookback window (optionally smoothed)
* Max / Min / Mid range levels over the same lookback
* Spike detection
* Marks candles where current range is ≥ (Spike Threshold × Average)
* Regime state
* Compares the current range vs a longer Baseline Average
* Labels LOW / NORMAL / HIGH volatility regime in a small table
It also shows a compact stats table with points and ticks (based on `syminfo.mintick`) so you can think in the units you actually trade.
---
## Why It’s Helpful
This tool is useful because range expansion and compression often determine:
* Whether a setup is worth taking right now
* Whether your stops/targets are realistic for the session
* Whether you should size down (high regime) or avoid forcing trades (low regime)
* When the market is shifting from chop → impulse (spikes) or impulse → stall (compression)
In practice, RR helps you answer:
* “Is volatility expanding or contracting?”
* “Is this move unusually large relative to recent history?”
* “Are we in a high-vol environment where risk needs to change?”
---
## How To Use It
1. Add to chart (it plots in its own pane).
2. Choose your Range Mode :
* Candle (H–L) : pure bar range (great for clean range monitoring)
* True Range (TR) : includes gaps (better for overnight / news / gap-prone markets)
3. Set Lookback (N) :
* Typical: 20–100
* Smaller = more reactive, larger = more stable
4. Optionally enable Smooth the Average :
* Helps reduce noise and false “spike” triggers
5. Adjust Spike Threshold (× Avg) :
* Common values:
* 1.3–1.6 = more frequent spike flags
* 1.8–2.5 = only “real” expansions get flagged
6. Set Baseline Length (Regime) :
* Typical: 150–300
* This is your “background volatility context”
---
## How To Read The Plots
* Current Range (columns): what the market just “spent” in range.
* Avg: normal range for this timeframe.
* Max / Min: extremes over the lookback window.
* Mid: midpoint between Max and Min (quick “center” reference).
* Spike Line (× Avg): the threshold for a “spike.”
* Background highlight: appears when the current candle qualifies as a spike.
* Regime table (top-left):
* HIGH when current range > 1.25× baseline average
* LOW when current range < 0.75× baseline average
* Otherwise NORMAL
---
## Practical Trading Uses (Examples)
* Risk calibration: If regime is HIGH , consider wider stops / smaller size.
* Trade selection: Avoid mean-reversion scalps when spikes are frequent (momentum environment).
* Session context: Spot when market transitions from tight range (LOW) into expansion (spike + HIGH).
* Instrument comparison: Great for comparing how “active” ES vs NQ vs CL is *on the same timeframe*.
---
## Suggested Defaults
* Lookback (N): 50
* Range Mode: True Range (TR) for gap-prone markets; Candle (H–L) for cleaner intraday bars
* Smoothing: On, length 10
* Spike Threshold: 1.5×
* Baseline Length: 200
---
## Notes / Limitations
* This is not a buy/sell signal . It’s a volatility/range context tool .
* Results depend on timeframe. A spike on 1m means something very different than a spike on 1h.
* “Ticks” display uses the symbol’s `mintick` and will be most meaningful on instruments with standardized tick sizes (futures, many FX pairs, etc.).

New Rate - PREMIUM v2New Rate - PREMIUM v2
New Rate - PREMIUM v2 is an intraday Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy built around a strict one-trade-per-day execution model.
The strategy defines a price range using the first N candles of a user-defined session, freezes the High/Low at the close of candle N, and places OCO stop orders exactly at those levels. The first breakout fills, the opposite order is canceled, and no further trades are allowed until the next trading day.
This script is published for educational and research purposes, with documented mechanics and backtest settings to support transparency and reproducibility.
How the strategy works
Session range construction
The user selects a minutes-based timeframe, a session start time, and the number of candles N. During the session window, the strategy tracks the highest High and lowest Low formed by the first N candles. These candles are visually highlighted on the chart.
Range freeze
When candle N closes, the range is locked. Horizontal High/Low lines are drawn and extended forward. An optional 50% midpoint can be displayed for reference.
OCO breakout execution
Immediately after the range is frozen, the strategy places:
A buy stop at the frozen High
A sell stop at the frozen Low
Orders are linked using OCO (One-Cancels-Other) logic. When one side fills, the opposite order is automatically canceled.
Exit management
Two exit frameworks are available:
Tick-based exits: stop-loss and take-profit are fixed distances in ticks from entry.
Risk/Reward exits: optional stop at the opposite side of the range, with TP calculated as RR × risk.
Both modes can display SL/TP boxes projected forward for visual review.
Daily execution lock
After the first filled trade of the day, the strategy blocks any new entries until the next daily reset. This enforces strict discipline and prevents over-trading.
Visual features
Configurable High/Low lines and labels (color, style, width, alignment)
Optional midpoint (50%) line

Originality and usefulness
While opening-range breakouts are a known concept, this strategy’s implementation focuses on:
Exact range-freeze timing: orders are armed precisely at the close of the N-th candle.
True OCO + hard daily lock: one-and-done execution enforced at the engine level.
Dual exit framework: fixed-tick and RR exits analyzed with the same SL/TP visual logic.
Operational safeguards: weekday filters and drawing limits designed for stable long-term backtesting.
FluxMA ProFluxMA Pro
FluxMA Pro is an intraday trend-following strategy based on moving-average cross signals , with built-in execution filters (time window + weekdays), direction control, and an optional strict one-trade-per-day rule.
The system enters when price crosses the selected moving average, and manages risk using fixed SL/TP in ticks . For clarity and auditing, it plots the MA and draws risk (SL) / reward (TP) zones on the chart.
This script is published for educational and research purposes , with documented mechanics and replication settings to support transparency and reproducibility.
How the strategy works
Signal engine (MA cross)
A base Moving Average (MA) is computed from a selectable price source.
A Long signal triggers when price crosses above the MA.
A Short signal triggers when price crosses below the MA.
Execution filters
Time filter : trades only inside the configured window (supports overnight windows correctly).
Weekday filter : enable/disable trading by day (Mon–Sun).
Direction filter : run Long only , Short only , or Both .
One trade per day (optional) : if enabled, once a trade is placed, no new trades are allowed until the next daily reset.
Risk management (ticks)
Stop-loss and take-profit are set using fixed distances in ticks from entry.
Orders are placed with a stop and a limit exit to keep execution auditable.
Visual audit layer
Plots the Moving Average on the chart.
Draws SL/TP zones as boxes that extend while the position is open.
Adds entry labels (“buy” / “sell”) for quick review in replays and optimizations.
Visual features
MA plot with selectable MA type (SMA/EMA/WMA/RMA) and length.
Risk/Reward boxes projected from entry (SL zone + TP zone).
Entry labels with configurable styling (label/flag) and colors.

Originality and usefulness
While MA-cross strategies are a known concept, FluxMA Pro focuses on an execution-grade implementation designed for testing and disciplined deployment:
Execution guardrails : optional one-trade-per-day lock + direction filter to prevent over-trading and strategy drift.
Session handling done properly : time windows support overnight logic (no “broken window” edge cases).
MA modularity : SMA/EMA/WMA/RMA selection enables controlled experiments without rewriting logic.
Auditable visuals : SL/TP zones and labels allow fast review of behavior during replays, optimization, and multi-asset scans.
RiskyInvesting Algo v1.0.0 - BasicA multi‑layer trend‑following and momentum‑confirmation system designed around dual adaptive baselines, and smart candle‑strength filtering. This indicator blends volatility‑based trailing logic with macro trend bias tools (EMA + SMMA) to identify clean directional flips and filter out weak signals.
This indicator uses 5 parameters to determine the trend direction.
Disclaimer:
- Please use this in conjunction with other tools and confirmations. Labels are not meant to be used as financial advice.
Core features include:
- Two Adaptive Trailing Baselines: ATR‑adjusted equations (Parameter 1 & 2) that flip direction based on baseline breaks.
- Directional Shift Detection: Buy markers on bullish dual‑baseline flip; sell markers on bearish dual‑baseline flip.
- Trend Bias Filtering: Uses EMA vs SMMA relationship to color signals and provide market bias context.
- Candle Strength Filter: Ensures signals only trigger on meaningful momentum candles relative to ATR.
- Clean Visual Display: Auto‑coloring buy/sell labels, baseline plots, and signal triangles.
🟩/🟥 = Strong Directional Bias
🟦/🟧 = Neutral Directional Bias
Built for traders who want a structured trend‑flip system that avoids noise, highlights strong directional moments, and maintains visual clarity even on volatile intraday charts.

EngulfingThe 'Engulfing' is a straightforward price action tool designed to highlight momentum shifts through color-coded candles. You also get a layer of manual control with a custom candle range setting. This feature allows you to filter out small, insignificant candles and focus only on patterns that meet your specific entry criteria.
This indicator is intended to be used strictly as a confluence tool, not a standalone trading system. It is most effective when used to confirm entries at key areas of interest, such as established support and resistance or supply and demand zones. To find valid trades, avoid trading every highlighted candle in isolation; instead, use the color changes as a visual signal that momentum is shifting at a structurally important price level.
Candle Strength Analyzer by The Ultimate Bull Run🎯 WHAT IT MEASURES
The score combines 4 key factors:
1️⃣ BODY RATIO (30%)
How much of the candle is "body" vs "wicks"
• 90%+ = Marubozu (very strong)
• 70%+ = Strong
• <30% = Weak/Indecision
2️⃣ CLOSE POSITION (25%)
Where the candle closed within its range
• Bullish closing near high = Strong
• Bearish closing near low = Strong
• Closing in middle = Weak
3️⃣ RELATIVE VOLUME - RVOL (25%)
Current volume compared to average
• RVOL 2.0+ = Very high activity
• RVOL 1.5+ = High (confirmed move)
• RVOL <0.7 = Low (unconfirmed)
4️⃣ SIZE vs ATR (20%)
Candle size compared to typical volatility
• 2x ATR = Large, significant
• 1x ATR = Normal
• 0.5x ATR = Small, insignificant
ADP Heiken Ashi [Wonra]**Heiken Ashi candles dynamically colored by Accumulation/Distribution Pressure (ADP) zones for enhanced trend visualization**

## 📝 Full Description:
### ADP Heiken Ashi
This indicator combines **Heiken Ashi candles** with **Accumulation/Distribution Pressure (ADP)** analysis to provide enhanced trend visualization through dynamic candle coloring.
---
### 🔬 How It Works
**Accumulation/Distribution Pressure (ADP)** is a volume-weighted momentum oscillator that measures buying and selling pressure on a 0-100 scale:
- **ADP < 45**: Accumulation Zone (buying pressure dominant)
- **ADP > 55**: Distribution Zone (selling pressure dominant)
- **ADP 45-55**: Neutral Zone (balanced pressure)
**The Calculation:**
1. Price change is compared to True Range to determine directional strength
2. Volume is applied as a weight to amplify significant moves
3. RMA smoothing creates a stable 0-100 oscillator
4. A JMA (Jurik Moving Average) signal line provides trend context
**Heiken Ashi candles** are then colored based on the ADP zone:
- **Bright Green**: Bullish HA candle in Accumulation Zone with rising ADP
- **Bright Red**: Bearish HA candle in Distribution Zone with falling ADP
- **Orange**: Bullish HA in Distribution (potential exhaustion warning)
- **Blue**: Bearish HA in Accumulation (potential reversal brewing)
---
### 🎨 Visual Guide
| Candle Color | Meaning |
|--------------|---------|
| **Bright Green** | Strong bullish momentum + smart money accumulating |
| **Light Green** | Bullish but neutral zone - proceed with caution |
| **Bright Red** | Strong bearish momentum + distribution underway |
| **Light Red** | Bearish but neutral zone - watch for changes |
| **Orange** | Bullish price but distribution detected - warning |
| **Blue** | Bearish price but accumulation detected - reversal possible |
