**TARGET: 3-7 High-Confluence Trades per Day**
**Philosophy: "Zones That Matter" + "See Inside The Candle"**

## ⚡ WHAT'S NEW IN v7

### Major Additions: INTRABAR ANALYSIS ENGINE

| Feature | Description | Edge It Provides |
|---------|-------------|------------------|
| **Intrabar Delta** | REAL buy/sell pressure from lower TF | Far more accurate than estimated delta |
| **Intrabar Momentum** | Direction consistency within bar | See if candle formed through conviction |
| **Absorption Detection** | High vol + low price movement | Spot institutional accumulation/distribution |
| **Internal Sweeps** | Stop hunts INSIDE candles | Catch hidden liquidity grabs |
| **Volume Distribution** | Where volume clustered in bar | TOP/MID/BOT volume clustering |

### The Intrabar Advantage

**Problem with Standard Analysis:**
- You only see the final OHLC of each candle
- Delta estimation is educated guesswork
- Internal price action is invisible
- Stop hunts inside bars go undetected

**Solution with Intrabar Analysis:**
- `request.security_lower_tf()` gives us the INSIDE view
- See actual lower timeframe candles within each bar
- Calculate TRUE delta from actual price direction
- Detect sweeps and reversals hidden from current timeframe

---

## 🔬 INTRABAR ANALYSIS DEEP DIVE

### How It Works

When you're on a 5-minute chart, intrabar analysis requests 1-minute data within each 5-minute bar. This gives us 5 sub-candles to analyze within each parent candle.

```
5-MIN CANDLE (What you normally see):
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ OPEN ──────── CLOSE │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────┘

INTRABAR VIEW (What v7 sees):
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🕐1 🕐2 🕐3 🕐4 🕐5 │
│ ▲ ▼ ▲ ▲ ▲ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ Each 1-min candle analyzed │
└────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Intrabar Delta (IB Delta)

**What It Is:**
Real buy/sell pressure calculated from actual lower timeframe candle directions.

**Why It's Better:**
- Standard delta: Estimated from close position within bar
- Intrabar delta: Calculated from 5+ actual candles with known direction

**Calculation:**
```
For each intrabar candle:
├── If bullish (close > open): More weight to buy volume
├── If bearish (close < open): More weight to sell volume
├── Volume distributed by close position within each micro-candle
└── Summed across all intrabar candles = TRUE DELTA
```

**Grades:**
| IB Delta % | Grade | Meaning |
|------------|-------|---------|
| 78%+ | 🔥 EXTREME | One side has overwhelming control |
| 70-77% | ✓✓ STRONG | Clear directional bias |
| 62-69% | ✓ DOMINANT | Healthy dominance |
| <62% | — NEUTRAL | Mixed/uncertain |

---

### Intrabar Momentum (IB Momentum)

**What It Is:**
The percentage of intrabar candles moving in the same direction.

**Why It Matters:**
A bullish candle could form through:
1. **High momentum:** 4 of 5 sub-candles bullish = Strong conviction
2. **Low momentum:** 2 bullish, 2 bearish, 1 bullish = Choppy formation

**Calculation:**
```
IB Momentum = max(bullish_count, bearish_count) / total_intrabar_candles

Example (5-min bar with 1-min intrabar):
├── 1st minute: Bullish ✓
├── 2nd minute: Bullish ✓
├── 3rd minute: Bearish ✗
├── 4th minute: Bullish ✓
├── 5th minute: Bullish ✓
└── IB Momentum = 4/5 = 80% BULLISH
```

**Thresholds:**
| IB Momentum % | Classification | Signal Quality |
|---------------|----------------|----------------|
| 75%+ | 🔥 STRONG | Very high conviction |
| 60-74% | ✓ CONFIRMED | Good directional bias |
| <60% | MIXED | Choppy, low conviction |

---

### Absorption Detection

**What It Is:**
Institutional accumulation/distribution signature - high volume with little price movement.

**The Theory:**
When institutions accumulate (buy), they absorb selling without moving price much:
- Retail sells → Institution buys at limit prices
- Volume spikes but price stays flat
- Once accumulation complete → price explodes up

**Detection Logic:**
```
ABSORPTION = High Volume + Low Price Movement + Volume Clustering

Conditions:
├── Volume per point > 1.5x average
├── Price movement < 60% of average range
├── Volume clusters in one zone (TOP/MID/BOT)
└── Cluster percentage >= 65% threshold
```

**Direction:**
- **BULL ABS:** Volume clustered at BOT + net buy delta = Buying at lows
- **BEAR ABS:** Volume clustered at TOP + net sell delta = Selling at highs

**Visual:** ✕ marker below (bull) or above (bear) the candle

---

### Internal Sweeps (Hidden Liquidity Grabs)

**What It Is:**
Stop hunts that happen INSIDE a candle - invisible on current timeframe.

**The Setup:**
```
INTERNAL BULLISH SWEEP:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ First Half: Second Half: │
│ ▲▼▲▼ ▲▲▲ │
│ Forms lows Reverses UP │
│ ↓ ↑ │
│ SWEEP REJECTION │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
= Hidden liquidity grab at lows, bullish
```

**Detection:**
```
Internal Bull Sweep:
├── Early intrabar candles form a low
├── Later intrabar candles sweep below that low
├── Final intrabar candles close back above
├── Parent candle closes green
└── = Hidden sweep, bullish reversal

Internal Bear Sweep:
├── Early intrabar candles form a high
├── Later intrabar candles sweep above that high
├── Final intrabar candles close back below
├── Parent candle closes red
└── = Hidden sweep, bearish reversal
```

**Visual:** "iS" marker (intrabar Sweep) on the candle

---

### Volume Distribution

**What It Is:**
Where volume clustered within the parent candle - TOP, MID, or BOT third.

**Why It Matters:**
- **BOT clustering + bullish delta:** Institutions buying at lows (bullish)
- **TOP clustering + bearish delta:** Institutions selling at highs (bearish)
- **MID clustering:** Balanced/uncertain

**Calculation:**
```
Divide parent candle into 3 zones:
├── TOP third: high - (range/3)
├── MID third: middle zone
└── BOT third: low + (range/3)

For each intrabar candle:
├── Calculate midpoint
├── Assign volume to TOP/MID/BOT based on midpoint
└── Sum volumes by zone
```

## 🔧 INTRABAR SETTINGS GUIDE

### Intrabar Timeframe Selection

| Chart TF | Recommended Intrabar TF | Sub-candles |
|----------|------------------------|-------------|
| 1 min | 1 (same) | Limited data |
| 3 min | 1 | 3 candles |
| 5 min | 1 | 5 candles |
| 15 min | 1 or 5 | 15 or 3 candles |
| 30 min | 5 | 6 candles |
| 1 hour | 5 or 15 | 12 or 4 candles |

**Rule of Thumb:** Lower intrabar TF = more data = more accurate

### Parameter Tuning

**Absorption Threshold (Default: 65%)**
```
Lower (50-60%): More absorption signals, some false positives
Standard (65%): Balanced detection
Higher (70-80%): Fewer signals, higher quality
```

**Intrabar Momentum Min (Default: 60%)**
```
Lower (50-55%): Accepts mixed candles as directional
Standard (60%): Requires clear majority
Higher (70-80%): Requires strong conviction
```

**Intrabar Delta Weight (Default: 1.5)**
```
Lower (0.5-1.0): Intrabar delta contributes less to score
Standard (1.5): Full contribution
Higher (2.0-3.0): Intrabar delta heavily weighted
```

## ⛔ DO NOT TRADE v7

All previous rules PLUS:

- IB Delta strongly conflicts with signal direction
- IB Momentum shows opposite direction at 75%+
- Absorption detected in OPPOSITE direction
- Score inflated only by intrabar (no structure)
- Intrabar data unavailable (empty array)

---

## 📝 TECHNICAL NOTES v7

### Compatibility

- **Pine Script v6** (required for `request.security_lower_tf()`)
- **Works on**: YM, MYM, NQ, MNQ, ES, MES, GC, MGC, BTC
- **Chart Type**: Standard candlestick (not Renko/Heikin Ashi)
- **Timeframes**: 1-minute to 4-hour recommended
- **Tick Charts**: Use 1-minute intrabar TF

### Performance Notes

- Intrabar analysis adds computational overhead
- If chart loads slowly, try higher intrabar TF
- `request.security_lower_tf()` returns array of data
- Empty arrays indicate no lower TF data available

### Timeframe Limitations

```
request.security_lower_tf() works when:
├── Intrabar TF < Chart TF (e.g., 1 min intrabar on 5 min chart)
└── Chart receives enough data from lower TF

Does NOT work when:
├── Intrabar TF >= Chart TF
├── Tick charts with minute intrabar (use seconds or same)
└── Very old historical data
```

## 🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING v7

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| No intrabar data | Lower your chart TF or raise intrabar TF |
| IB Delta always neutral | Check intrabar TF is lower than chart TF |
| Too many absorption signals | Raise absorption threshold to 70%+ |
| Missing internal sweeps | More common on volatile markets |
| Slow chart loading | Use higher intrabar TF (5 instead of 1) |
| IB section not in table | Enable "Show Intrabar Metrics" |
| Conflicting signals | Trust intrabar data over standard delta |
