So basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens. Key Concept: Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference What Makes This Different: Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames Identifies "trapped" trader positions Measures liquidity level efficiency Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone Indicator Features: Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure Efficiency tracking for each level Dynamic volume-based segmentation Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where: Positions create potential energy Price movement resolves this energy Trends form through systematic position liquidation VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment: Segment Start: VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation Weighted by volume traded during that segment Calculation Method: pineCopy[_vwap, _, _] = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1) hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals Key Points: Dynamic recalculation each segment Reflects most recent trading activity Provides real-time fair price reference Tracks positioning Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning. BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained: When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps: BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP: Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped) Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit) SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP: Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped) Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped) Core Mechanism: VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning Trapped positions create inherent market tension Levels expand to show accumulating pressure Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement. It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it. Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.
