DeltaBurst Locator

## DeltaBurst Locator

DeltaBurst Locator is a sponsorship detector that divides OBV impulse by price thrust, normalizes the ratio, and cross-checks it against a higher timeframe confirmation stream. The oscillator turns the abstract "is this move real?" question into a precise number, exposing accumulation, distribution, and exhaustion across futures and stocks.

HOW IT WORKS

• OBV Impulse vs. Price Change – Smoothed deltas of On-Balance Volume and price are ratioed, then normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function to prevent single prints from dominating.
  
• Signal vs. Confirmation – A short EMA produces the execution signal while a higher-timeframe

  feed validates whether broader flows agree.
  
• Spectrum Classification – Expansion/compression metrics grade whether current aggression is intense or fading, while ±0.65 bands define exhaust/vacuum zones.
  
• Slope Divergences – Linear regression slopes on both price and the ratio expose bullish/bearish sponsorship mismatches before candles reverse.
  

HOW TO USE IT

• Breakout Validation: Only chase breakouts when both local and higher-timeframe ratios are on the same side of zero; mixed signals suggest liquidity is fading.
  
• Absorption Trades: When the histogram spikes beyond ±0.65 but the EMA lags, expect absorption; combine with price structure for pinpoint reversals.
  
• News/Event Monitoring: During earnings or macro releases, watch for ratio collapses with price still rising—this flags forced moves driven by hedging rather than real demand.
  

VISUAL FEATURES

• Color logic: Positive sponsorship fills teal, negative fills crimson against the zero line, making intent obvious at a glance.
  
• Optional markers: Burst triangles and divergence dots can be enabled when you need explicit annotations or left off for a minimalist panel.
  
• Compression heatmap: Background shading communicates whether the market is coiling (high compression) or erupting (low compression).
  
• Dashboard: Displays the live ratio, higher-timeframe ratio, and agreement state to speed up scanning across tickers.
  

PARAMETERS

• Fast Pulse Length (default: 5): Controls the smoothing window for price change detection.
  
• Slow Equilibrium Length (default: 34): Window for expansion/compression calculation.
  
• OBV Smooth (default: 8): Smoothing period for OBV impulse calculation.
  
• Ratio Ceiling (default: 3.0): Controls how aggressively values saturate; raise for high-volatility tickers.
  
• Signal EMA (default: 4): EMA period for the signal line.
  
• Confirmation Timeframe (default: 240): Pick a higher anchor (e.g., 4H) to validate intraday moves.
  
• Divergence Window (default: 21): Window for slope-based divergence detection.
  
• Show Burst Markers (default: disabled): Toggle burst triangles on demand.
  
• Show Divergence Markers (default: disabled): Toggle divergence dots on demand.
  
• Show Delta Dashboard (default: enabled): Hide when screen space is limited; leave on for desk broadcasts.
  

ALERTS

The indicator includes four alert conditions:

• DeltaBurst Bull: Spotted a bullish liquidity burst
  
• DeltaBurst Bear: Spotted a bearish liquidity burst
  
• DeltaBurst Bull Div: Detected bullish sponsorship divergence
  
• DeltaBurst Bear Div: Detected bearish sponsorship divergence
