Sentiment
Daily Directional Bias Indicator (S&P 500)This indicator is designed to help you be on the right side of the trade.
Most traders who struggle to know which way price may move are only looking at part of the picture. This Directional Bias Indicator uses both the Accumulation/Distribution Line and VIX for directional confirmation.
The Accumulation/Distribution Line
The Accumulation/Distribution (ACC) line helps us gauge market momentum by showing the cumulative flow of money into or out of an asset. When the ACC line is rising, it suggests that buying pressure is dominating, indicating a bullish market. Conversely, when the ACC line is falling, it suggests that selling pressure is stronger, indicating a bearish market. By comparing the ACC line with the VWAP, traders can see if the price is moving in line with the overall market sentiment. If the ACC line is above the VWAP, it suggests the market is in a bullish phase; if it's below, it indicates a bearish phase.
The VIX
The VIX (Volatility Index) is often referred to as the "fear gauge" of the market. When the VIX is rising, it typically signals increased market fear and higher volatility, which can be a sign of bearish market conditions. Conversely, when the VIX is falling, it suggests lower volatility and a more stable, bullish market. Using the VIX with the VWAP helps us confirm market direction, particularly in relation to the S&P 500.
VWAP
For both the ACC Line and VIX, we use a VWAP line to gauge whether the ACC line or the VIX is above or below the average. When the ACC line is above the VWAP, we view it as a sign that price will go up. However, because the VIX has an inverse relationship, when the VIX falls below the VWAP, we take that as a sign to go long.
How to use
The yellow line represents the ACC Line.
The red line represents the VWAP based on the ACC line.
The triangles at the bottom simply show when the ACC line is above or below the VWAP.
The triangles at the top show whether the VIX is bullish or bearish.
If both triangles (top or bottom) are bullish, this confirms that the price of an asset like the S&P 500 will likely go up. If both triangles are pointing down, it suggests that price will fall.
As always, test for yourself.
Happy trading!

Previous Candle AverageDescription:
The Previous Candle Average indicator is a powerful tool designed to provide traders with insights into market momentum by visualizing the relationship between the current and previous open levels for a customizable timeframe. This versatile indicator allows you to select from various timeframes, including 1 Month, 1 Week, 1 Day, 8 Hours, 4 Hours, and 1 Hour, making it suitable for different trading strategies, whether you're a swing trader, day trader, or scalper.
The indicator plots the Current Open and Previous Open levels for the selected timeframe and calculates the average value between them. By displaying these critical levels, traders can quickly gauge the current market dynamics relative to the previous period, making it easier to identify support, resistance, or trend continuation.
Key Features:
Custom Timeframe Selection: Easily select the desired timeframe from a variety of options (1M, 1W, 1D, 8H, 4H, 1H) to align with your trading strategy.
Current and Previous Open Levels: The indicator plots both the Current Open and Previous Open levels for the chosen timeframe, providing clear visual guidance on where the market is opening relative to the previous period.
Open Fill with Adjustable Transparency: The area between the Current Open and Previous Open levels is filled with color to represent the relationship between the two. The fill color changes based on whether the Current Open is above or below the Previous Open, with a default 20% opacity for better clarity without overwhelming the chart.
Average Line: The indicator also plots the average value between the Current Open and Previous Open levels, painted by default in a solid white color with a line thickness of 2. This average helps identify potential key levels where the price might react.
Dynamic Coloring: The fill color changes dynamically based on whether the Current Open is higher or lower than the Previous Open, using green to indicate bullish behavior and red for bearish behavior.
How to Use:
The Previous Candle Average indicator can help traders identify the momentum of the market by visually comparing the relationship between consecutive open levels.
Use the Average Line as a reference for potential support or resistance, especially when the market opens near this average.
The Open Fill color can quickly indicate a shift in market sentiment. A green fill suggests that the market is opening stronger than the previous period, while a red fill indicates weakness.
Best Practices:
Combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, moving averages, or volume analysis, to confirm potential trading opportunities.
The custom timeframe feature is particularly useful for multi-timeframe analysis. For instance, you can monitor weekly open levels while trading on an hourly chart.

Dynamic Spot vs Perp Spread### **Description for TradingView Publication**
---
**Dynamic Spot vs Perp Spread**
(For USDT-Spot and USDT.P-Perp)
Summary of Usefulness:
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders who want to monitor and capitalize on the relationship between spot and perpetual futures (perp) prices. When the spot price exceeds the perp price, it's often a leading signal that the perp price will follow, creating potential trading opportunities. While this behavior doesn't happen every time, divergences between spot and perp prices can frequently signal significant market movements.
What it Does:
This indicator calculates and displays the price spread (percentage difference) between the spot price and perpetual futures (perp) price of a cryptocurrency asset. It dynamically adjusts to the instrument being viewed, ensuring that spot dominance (spot price higher) is plotted above the zero line and perp dominance (perp price higher) is plotted below the zero line. Additionally, the indicator accounts for symbols with multipliers (e.g., `1000SHIBUSDT.P`) to ensure accurate calculations.
Key features include:
- Automatic symbol detection and adjustment for Spot/Perp pairs.
- Dynamic handling of price multipliers for assets with prefixes like `1000`.
- Visualization of spread with a histogram and optional smoothing using an EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
- Configurable alerts for significant spread changes and spread flips.
- No repainting: the indicator uses the `barmerge.lookahead_off` setting to ensure stable, non-repainting values.
---
### **How to Use**
1. **Add the Indicator:**
- Search for "Dynamic Spot vs Perp Spread" in the TradingView Indicators library and add it to your chart.
2. **Understand the Visualization:**
- A positive spread (green histogram) indicates that the spot price is higher than the perp price (spot dominance).
- A negative spread (red histogram) indicates that the perp price is higher than the spot price (perp dominance).
3. **Customize Settings:**
- **EMA Length:** Use the input field to smooth the spread data over a chosen number of periods.
- **Alert Threshold:** Set a threshold to receive alerts when the spread exceeds a specific percentage.
4. **Receive Alerts:**
- Enable alerts for spread flips (when dominance shifts between spot and perp) or when the spread exceeds the defined threshold.
5. **Use Case Examples:**
- **Spot vs. Perp Arbitrage:** Traders can monitor significant deviations between spot and perp prices to identify potential arbitrage opportunities.
- **Market Sentiment Analysis:** Persistent spot dominance may indicate stronger buying interest in the spot market, while perp dominance may suggest futures market speculation.
---
### **Repainting Behavior**
This indicator **does not repaint** because it uses `barmerge.lookahead_off` for all calculations, ensuring that data from the comparison symbol (spot or perp) is locked to the currently completed candle. This means the values plotted and alerts triggered are reliable and do not change retrospectively.
Repainting occurs when an indicator uses future-looking or incomplete data for calculations. By design, this indicator avoids such practices, making it suitable for live trading and analysis.

Candlestick Strength and Volatility ReadoutDisplays a readout on the top right corner of the screen displaying a two basic calculations (volatility and strength; i.e. candlestick size and how close to the highs or lows it closed) for more convenient candlestick (price action) analysis.
Due to restrictions with Pine Script (or my knowledge thereof) only the current and previous candlestick data is shown, rather than the one currently hovered over.
The data is derived via two simple calculations; volatility being division between the range of the candlestick's high and low by the ATR; 'strength' (what I like to call it) being the range of the body by the range of the open to high or low, depending on the facing direction (positive or negative candlestick). These are expressed as percentages and will turn green depending on the set threshold.
Using this, one can effectively automate calculations you'd have to do by hand otherwise. I personally use these as entry filters in my trading, so it helps to not have to measure, remeasure, and divide before each potential entry.
Settings are implemented to change certain variables to your liking.
Buy vs Sell VolumeHow It Works:
BuyVol: Estimates buying volume by calculating the proportion of volume attributed to the upward price movement within each bar.
SellVol: Estimates selling volume by calculating the proportion of volume attributed to the downward price movement within each bar.
Customization:
length: You can adjust the length input parameter to change the period over which the average is calculated.
Visualization:
The buy trendline is plotted in Green and represents the average net buying vs. selling volume over the specified period.
The sell trendline is plotted in Red and represents the average net selling vs. buying volume over the specified period.
Note: This script provides an approximation and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
Max Pain StrategyThe Max Pain Strategy uses a combination of volume and price movement thresholds to identify potential "pain zones" in the market. A "pain zone" is considered when the volume exceeds a certain multiple of its average over a defined lookback period, and the price movement exceeds a predefined percentage relative to the price at the beginning of the lookback period.
Here’s how the strategy functions step-by-step:
Inputs:
length: Defines the lookback period used to calculate the moving average of volume and the price change over that period.
volMultiplier: Sets a threshold multiplier for the volume; if the volume exceeds the average volume multiplied by this factor, it triggers the condition for a potential "pain zone."
priceMultiplier: Sets a threshold for the minimum percentage price change that is required for a "pain zone" condition.
Calculations:
averageVolume: The simple moving average (SMA) of volume over the specified lookback period.
priceChange: The absolute difference in price between the current bar's close and the close from the lookback period (length).
Pain Zone Condition:
The condition for entering a position is triggered if both the volume is higher than the average volume by the volMultiplier and the price change exceeds the price at the length-period ago by the priceMultiplier. This is an indication of significant market activity that could result in a price move.
Position Entry:
A long position is entered when the "pain zone" condition is met.
Exit Strategy:
The position is closed after the specified holdPeriods, which defines how many periods the position will be held after being entered.
Visualization:
A small triangle is plotted on the chart where the "pain zone" condition is met.
The background color changes to a semi-transparent red when the "pain zone" is active.
Scientific Explanation of the Components
Volume Analysis and Price Movement: These are two critical factors in trading strategies. Volume often serves as an indicator of market strength (or weakness), and price movement is a direct reflection of market sentiment. Higher volume with significant price movement may suggest that the market is entering a phase of increased volatility or trend formation, which the strategy aims to exploit.
Volume analysis: The study of volume as an indicator of market participation, with increased volume often signaling stronger trends (Murphy, J. J., Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets).
Price movement thresholds: A large price change over a short period may be interpreted as a breakout or a potential reversal point, aligning with volatility and liquidity analysis (Schwager, J. D., Market Wizards).
Repainting Check: This strategy does not involve any repainting because it is based on current and past data, and there is no reference to future values in the decision-making process. However, any strategy that uses lagging indicators or conditions based on historical bars, like close , is inherently a lagging strategy and might not predict real-time price action accurately until after the fact.
Risk Management: The position hold duration is predefined, which adds an element of time-based risk control. This duration ensures that the strategy does not hold a position indefinitely, which could expose it to unnecessary risk.
Potential Issues and Considerations
Repainting:
The strategy does not utilize future data or conditions that depend on future bars, so it does not inherently suffer from repainting issues.
However, since the strategy relies on volume and price change over a set lookback period, the decision to enter or exit a trade is only made after the data for the current bar is complete, meaning the trade decisions are somewhat delayed, which could be seen as a lagging feature rather than a repainting one.
Lagging Nature:
As with many technical analysis-based strategies, this one is based on past data (moving averages, price changes), meaning it reacts to market movements after they have already occurred, rather than predicting future price actions.
Overfitting Risk:
With parameters like the lookback period and multipliers being user-adjustable, there is a risk of overfitting to historical data. Adjusting parameters too much based on past performance can lead to poor out-of-sample results (Gauthier, P., Practical Quantitative Finance).
Conclusion
The Max Pain Strategy is a simple approach to identifying potential market entries based on volume spikes and significant price changes. It avoids repainting by relying solely on historical and current bar data, but it is inherently a lagging strategy that reacts to price and volume patterns after they have occurred. Therefore, the strategy can be effective in trending markets but may struggle in highly volatile, sideways markets.
XAUUSD Weekly Gap Indicator (oberlunar)The XAUUSD Weekly Gap Indicator is a technical tool designed specifically for tracking weekly price gaps in the XAUUSD (gold) market. It identifies and visualizes the price difference between the Friday close and the Monday open, providing valuable insights into market dynamics over the weekend.
Gap Detection:
Measures the price difference between Friday's closing price and Monday's opening price.
Highlights whether the gap is bullish (Monday opens above Friday’s close) or bearish (Monday opens below Friday’s close).
Visualization:
Draws a line or rectangle to connect the Friday close and the Monday open, clearly marking the gap on the chart.
Displays an indicator label with the gap value, often in pips or points, to quantify the gap size.
Color Coding:
Green: Bullish gap (positive price movement).
Red: Bearish gap (negative price movement).
Market Sentiment:
Large gaps can indicate significant market sentiment shifts due to weekend events, such as economic reports or geopolitical news.
Support and Resistance:
Weekly gaps often act as temporary support or resistance levels, as the market may attempt to revisit or "fill" the gap.
Trading Strategies:
Gap Filling: XAUUSD often tends to "fill" these gaps, providing trading opportunities.
Continuation or Reversal: The reaction to the gap can signal whether the trend is likely to continue or reverse.
Global Index Spread RSI StrategyThis strategy leverages the relative strength index (RSI) to monitor the price spread between a global benchmark index (such as AMEX) and the currently opened asset in the chart window. By calculating the spread between these two, the strategy uses RSI to identify oversold and overbought conditions to trigger buy and sell signals.
Key Components:
Global Benchmark Index: The strategy compares the current asset with a predefined global index (e.g., AMEX) to measure relative performance. The choice of a global benchmark allows the trader to analyze the current asset's movement in the context of broader market trends.
Spread Calculation:
The spread is calculated as the percentage difference between the current asset's closing price and the global benchmark index's closing price:
Spread=Current Asset Close−Global Index CloseGlobal Index Close×100
Spread=Global Index CloseCurrent Asset Close−Global Index Close×100
This metric provides a measure of how the current asset is performing relative to the global index. A positive spread indicates the asset is outperforming the benchmark, while a negative spread signals underperformance.
RSI of the Spread: The RSI is then calculated on the spread values. The RSI is a momentum oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100 and is commonly used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in asset prices. An RSI below 30 is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity, while an RSI above 70 is overbought, suggesting that the asset may be due for a pullback.
Strategy Logic:
Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the RSI of the spread falls below the oversold threshold (default 30). This suggests that the asset may have been oversold relative to the global benchmark and might be due for a reversal.
Exit Condition: The strategy exits the long position when the RSI of the spread rises above the overbought threshold (default 70), indicating that the asset may have become overbought and a price correction is likely.
Visual Reference:
The RSI of the spread is plotted on the chart for visual reference, making it easier for traders to monitor the relative strength of the asset in relation to the global benchmark.
Overbought and oversold levels are also drawn as horizontal reference lines (70 and 30), along with a neutral level at 50 to show market equilibrium.
Theoretical Basis:
The strategy is built on the mean reversion principle, which suggests that asset prices tend to revert to a long-term average over time. When prices move too far from this mean—either being overbought or oversold—they are likely to correct back toward equilibrium. By using RSI to identify these extremes, the strategy aims to profit from price reversals.
Mean Reversion: According to financial theory, asset prices oscillate around a long-term average, and any extreme deviation (overbought or oversold conditions) presents opportunities for price corrections (Poterba & Summers, 1988).
Momentum Indicators (RSI): The RSI is widely used in technical analysis to measure the momentum of an asset. Its application to the spread between the asset and a global benchmark allows for a more nuanced view of relative performance and potential turning points in the asset's price trajectory.
Practical Application:
This strategy works best in markets where relative strength is a key factor in decision-making, such as in equity indices, commodities, or forex markets. By assessing the performance of the asset relative to a global benchmark and utilizing RSI to identify extremes in price movements, the strategy helps traders to make more informed decisions based on potential mean reversion points.
While the "Global Index Spread RSI Strategy" offers a method for identifying potential price reversals based on relative strength and oversold/overbought conditions, it is important to recognize that no strategy is foolproof. The strategy assumes that the historical relationship between the asset and the global benchmark will hold in the future, but financial markets are subject to a wide array of unpredictable factors that can lead to sudden changes in price behavior.
Risk of False Signals:
The strategy relies heavily on the RSI to trigger buy and sell signals. However, like any momentum-based indicator, RSI can generate false signals, particularly in highly volatile or trending markets. In such conditions, the strategy may enter positions too early or exit too late, leading to potential losses.
Market Context:
The strategy may not account for macroeconomic events, news, or other market forces that could cause sudden shifts in asset prices. External factors, such as geopolitical developments, monetary policy changes, or financial crises, can cause a divergence between the asset and the global benchmark, leading to incorrect conclusions from the strategy.
Overfitting Risk:
As with any strategy that uses historical data to make decisions, there is a risk of overfitting the model to past performance. This could result in a strategy that works well on historical data but performs poorly in live trading conditions due to changes in market dynamics.
Execution Risks:
The strategy does not account for slippage, transaction costs, or liquidity issues, which can impact the execution of trades in real-market conditions. In fast-moving markets, prices may move significantly between order placement and execution, leading to worse-than-expected entry or exit prices.
No Guarantee of Profit:
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The strategy should be used with caution, and risk management techniques (such as stop losses and position sizing) should always be implemented to protect against significant losses.
Traders should thoroughly test and adapt the strategy in a simulated environment before applying it to live trades, and consider seeking professional advice to ensure that their trading activities align with their risk tolerance and financial goals.

BTC CME Futures Divergence TrackerThis script tracks divergences between price action and open interest for the BTC CME Futures contract (symbol "BTC1!") using the following components:
Key Features:
1. Price Analysis: Identifies lower highs in the price over a specified lookback period. Marks these points with red upward-facing triangles above the bars.
2. Open Interest Analysis: Retrieves open interest (OI) data for the BTC CME Futures contract via request.security. Detects lower highs in open interest over the same lookback period. Highlights these points with blue downward-facing triangles below the bars.
3. Divergence Detection: A divergence is identified when both price and open interest form lower highs simultaneously. Highlights such occurrences with a purple background, indicating potential bearish sentiment or weakening momentum.
4. Alerts: If divergences are detected, an alert is triggered (if enabled), notifying the trader to take action.
5. Visualization: Open interest is plotted as a blue line in a separate pane for added context. Red and blue markers highlight significant points in price and open interest trends.
Use Cases:
- Spot Weakening Trends: Divergences between price and open interest may indicate a loss of momentum or bearish sentiment, allowing traders to preemptively adjust their strategies.
- Monitor Institutional Activity: Open interest changes reflect shifts in market participation, especially in derivative markets like CME Futures.
- Set Alerts for Key Signals: With automated alerts, traders can stay informed of potential divergence signals without constant monitoring.
Customization Options:
- Lookback Period: Adjust the number of bars used to detect lower highs.
- Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for fetching open interest data (e.g., daily, hourly).
- Alert Activation: Enable or disable alerts for divergences.
This tool combines price action with open interest dynamics to provide a robust method for identifying market trends and potential reversals in BTC CME Futures.
Gains and Drawdowns with Standard DeviationsThis “Gains and Drawdowns with Standard Deviations” indicator helps in analyzing and visualizing the percentage gains and drawdown phases of a market or asset relative to its historical range. By calculating gains from the lowest low and drawdowns from the highest high over a specified lookback period, this indicator provides deeper insights into price movements and risk.
Key Features and Applications:
1. Gain and Drawdown Calculation:
• Gains: The indicator calculates the percentage gain from the lowest price point within a specific lookback period (e.g., 250 days).
• Drawdowns: Drawdowns are calculated as the percentage change from the highest point in the same period. This helps in identifying the maximum loss phases.
2. Standard Deviation:
• The indicator computes the standard deviation of both gains and drawdowns over a specified period (e.g., 250 days), allowing you to quantify volatility.
• Three bands (1st, 2nd, and 3rd standard deviations) are plotted for both gains and drawdowns, representing the frequency and magnitude of price movements within the normal volatility range.
3. Extreme Movements Highlighting:
• The indicator highlights extreme gains and drawdowns when they exceed user-defined thresholds. This helps in identifying significant market events or turning points.
4. Customizable Thresholds:
• Users can adjust the thresholds for extreme gains and drawdowns, as well as the lookback period for calculating gains, drawdowns, and standard deviations, making the indicator highly adaptable to specific needs.
Application in Portfolio Management:
The use of standard deviation in portfolio management is essential for assessing the risk and volatility of a portfolio. According to Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) by Harry Markowitz, diversification of assets in a portfolio helps to minimize overall risk (especially the standard deviation), while maximizing returns. The standard deviation of a portfolio measures the volatility of its returns, with higher standard deviation indicating higher risk.
Scientific Source: Markowitz, H. M. (1952). Portfolio Selection. The Journal of Finance, 7(1), 77-91.
Markowitz’s theory suggests that an optimized portfolio, by minimizing the standard deviation of returns and combining a diversified asset allocation, can achieve better risk-adjusted returns.
Conclusion:
This indicator is particularly useful for traders and portfolio managers who want to understand and visualize market risk and extreme events. By using gains, drawdowns, and volatility metrics, it allows for systematic monitoring and evaluation of price movements, leading to more informed decisions in trading or portfolio management. A comprehensive understanding of price behavior and volatility helps in optimizing risk management and making strategic market entries.
Key Features:
• Visualization of Gains and Drawdowns with color-coded highlights for extreme movements.
• Standard Deviation Calculations for detailed volatility analysis.
• Customizable Thresholds for identifying extreme market events.
This indicator is a valuable tool for analyzing market data from a scientific standpoint, improving risk management, and making data-driven decisions based on historical performance.
Buy When There's Blood in the Streets StrategyStatistical Analysis of Drawdowns in Stock Markets
Drawdowns, defined as the decline from a peak to a trough in asset prices, are an essential measure of risk and market dynamics. Their statistical properties provide insights into market behavior during extreme stress periods.
Distribution of Drawdowns: Research suggests that drawdowns follow a power-law distribution, implying that large drawdowns, while rare, are more frequent than expected under normal distributions (Sornette et al., 2003).
Impacts of Extreme Drawdowns: During significant drawdowns (e.g., financial crises), the average recovery time is significantly longer, highlighting market inefficiencies and behavioral biases. For example, the 2008 financial crisis led to a 57% drawdown in the S&P 500, requiring years to recover (Cont, 2001).
Using Standard Deviations: Drawdowns exceeding two or three standard deviations from their historical mean are often indicative of market overreaction or capitulation, creating contrarian investment opportunities (Taleb, 2007).
Behavioral Finance Perspective: Investors often exhibit panic-selling during drawdowns, leading to oversold conditions that can be exploited using statistical thresholds like standard deviations (Kahneman, 2011).
Practical Implications: Studies on mean reversion show that extreme drawdowns are frequently followed by periods of recovery, especially in equity markets. This underpins strategies that "buy the dip" under specific, statistically derived conditions (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993).

Power Of 3 ICT 01 [TradingFinder] AMD ICT & SMC Accumulations🔵 Introduction
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) strategy, developed by Michael J. Huddleston, known as the Inner Circle Trader, is a structured approach to analyzing daily market activity. This strategy divides the trading day into three distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Each phase represents a unique market behavior influenced by institutional traders, offering a clear framework for retail traders to align their strategies with market movements.
Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST) takes place during low-volatility hours, as institutional traders accumulate orders. Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST) involves false breakouts and liquidity traps designed to mislead retail traders. Finally, Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST) represents the active phase where significant market movements occur as institutions distribute their positions in line with the broader trend.
This indicator is built upon the Power of 3 principles to provide traders with a practical and visual tool for identifying these key phases. By using clear color coding and precise time zones, the indicator highlights critical price levels, such as highs and lows, helping traders to better understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Incorporating the ICT AMD setup into daily analysis enables traders to anticipate market behavior, spot high-probability trade setups, and gain deeper insights into institutional trading strategies. With its focus on time-based price action, this indicator simplifies complex market structures, offering an effective tool for traders of all levels.
🔵 How to Use

🟣 Accumulation Phase (19:00 - 01:00 EST)
Purpose : Identify the range-bound activity where institutional players accumulate orders.
Trading Insight : Avoid placing trades during this phase, as price movements are typically limited. Instead, use this time to prepare for the potential direction of the market in the next phases.
🟣 Manipulation Phase (01:00 - 07:00 EST)
Purpose : Spot false breakouts and liquidity traps that mislead retail traders.
Trading Insight : Observe the market for price spikes beyond key support or resistance levels. These moves often reverse quickly, offering high-probability entry points in the opposite direction of the initial breakout.
🟣 Distribution Phase (07:00 - 13:00 EST)
Purpose : Detect the main price movement of the day, driven by institutional distribution.
Trading Insight : Enter trades in the direction of the trend established during this phase. Look for confirmations such as breakouts or strong directional moves that align with broader market sentiment
