Delta Pulse V1

What This Indicator Does:

Delta Pulse visualizes institutional order flow through dynamically-sized bubbles positioned at precise volume-weighted price levels. The indicator analyzes volume delta (buy volume minus sell volume) and displays significant order flow imbalances as color-coded circles, revealing where institutions are accumulating or distributing positions in real-time.

Why This Script Is Unique and Original:

Unlike standard volume delta indicators that display histograms or bars below the chart, Delta Pulse provides three proprietary features that justify closed-source protection:

VWAP Bubble Positioning System: Bubbles appear at the actual volume-weighted average price where order flow occurred within each candle—not at arbitrary high/low/close levels. This reveals whether institutions bought near favorable prices (lows) or chased higher prices (tops), providing critical context that price-only displays miss.

Price-Action Trap Detection: The indicator identifies divergence between candle direction and underlying order flow pressure. When candles close bullish but order flow shows net selling (or vice versa), special trap signals appear—catching scenarios where retail traders are caught on the wrong side before reversals. This divergence analysis is not available in standard volume indicators.

Statistical Normalization (Quantum Mode): Rather than showing raw delta numbers that vary wildly between quiet and active sessions, the indicator uses statistical analysis to make bubble sizing contextually relevant. A large delta during overnight sessions displays differently than the same delta during high-volatility periods, ensuring bubbles always reflect true significance relative to current market behavior.

Multi-Factor Exhaustion Zones: The indicator automatically draws support/resistance zones when multiple confluence factors align—wick analysis, volume characteristics, and order flow strength. These zones auto-expire when invalidated, keeping charts clean and focused on active levels only.

What Makes This Different From Other Delta Indicators:

Most volume delta tools simply show you buy vs. sell volume as numbers or histograms. Delta Pulse goes further by:

Positioning information at the exact price where volume occurred (VWAP)
Detecting when price action contradicts order flow (traps)
Sizing bubbles based on statistical significance, not just magnitude
Identifying exhaustion automatically using multi-factor analysis
Providing velocity detection to spot accelerating order flow
The combination of VWAP positioning, trap detection, statistical normalization, and automatic zone mapping creates analysis depth not available by combining standard built-in tools.

How To Use This Indicator:

Visual Signal Guide:

Green bubbles: Aggressive buying pressure
Red bubbles: Aggressive selling pressure
Gold bubbles: Exhaustion detected (potential reversal zones)
Pink bubbles: Price-action traps (direction/flow divergence)

Bubble Sizes Indicate Strength:

Tiny/Small: Minor order flow, background noise
Normal: Standard activity, context-dependent
Large: Significant imbalance, attention required
Huge: Extreme imbalance, high-probability setup
Trap Signals:

Bull Trap (pink, green candle): longs getting trapped, expect reversal down
Bear Trap (pink, red candle): shorts getting trapped, expect reversal up

Exhaustion Zones:

Green zones: Support from bottom wick rejections
Red zones: Resistance from top wick rejections
Zones remain active until price closes through them
Trading Applications:

Use Delta Pulse for:

Reversal confirmation: Large opposite-color bubbles at key levels
Trap avoidance: Don't chase pink bubble breakouts
Exhaustion entries: Trade from zones with confirmation
Trend validation: Persistent same-color bubbles confirm trend strength
Confluence building: Combine with structure, levels, other indicators

Settings Overview:

Data Settings:
Lower timeframe selection for delta calculation (default: 1-minute)

Display Filters:

Minimum delta threshold (filter out small imbalances)
Delta percentage filter (delta as % of total volume)
Maximum lookback history in days

Bubble Appearance:

Toggle trap detection on/off
Toggle exhaustion zones on/off
Adjust zone height and opacity
Customize all colors
Enable/disable glow effects

Calculation Modes:

Standard Mode: Straightforward ratio-based bubble sizing
Quantum Mode: Statistical normalization for context-aware sizing

Velocity Detection:

Enable/disable high-velocity alerts
Adjust velocity threshold
Customize glow color for velocity events

Best Practices:

Timeframes: Works best on 1-5 minute charts for day trading
Filter Tuning: Start with defaults, increase filters in high-volume conditions
Confluence: Don't trade bubbles alone—combine with support/resistance
Trap Respect: Pink bubbles are warnings, not noise—pay attention
Zone Usage: Use exhaustion zones as reversal areas, not guaranteed turns

What This Script Does NOT Do:

Predict future price movement (shows current/past order flow only)
Guarantee profitable trades (analysis tool requiring context)
Work without volume data (requires volume-enabled symbols)
Provide entry/exit rules (visualization tool for discretionary trading)

Important Requirements:

Requires symbols with volume data available
Best results on liquid instruments (ES, NQ, major equities/crypto)
Lower timeframe data access recommended for optimal performance
Not a complete trading system—requires additional analysis and risk management
