Volume Footprint Imbalance

Volume Footprint Imbalance Indicator
Uncover Institutional Order Flow with Precision
The Volume Footprint Imbalance indicator is a professional-grade order flow tool designed to visualize hidden market dynamics directly on your chart. By analyzing granular intrabar volume data, it detects and highlights significant institutional imbalances where aggressive buyers or sellers have overwhelmed the opposing side, creating high-probability Support and Resistance zones.

Stop guessing where price might react. See exactly where institutions have stepped in.

Key Features
🛡️ Institutional Zone Detection: Automatically identifies aggressive buying and selling imbalances. When multiple imbalances occur in sequence ("Stacking"), the indicator draws high-confidence Support (Buy) and Resistance (Sell) zones.

📉 Smart Mitigation Logic: Keeps your chart clean and actionable. Zones extend indefinitely until price revisits ("mitigates") the level or invalidates the structure. Broken zones are automatically removed or faded to prevent clutter.

🧠 Intelligent Filtering: Filters out noise to show only the most significant signals.

Volume Filter: Ignores low-volume activity.

Trend Alignment: Validates signals based on candle color and bar delta.

Wick Rejection: Smartly detects if an imbalance is part of a rejection wick (smart money buying into lows or selling into highs).  

🎯 Automated Trade Setups: Removes the guesswork from execution. When a valid zone is confirmed, the indicator automatically plots dynamic Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit lines based on your preferred Risk:Reward ratio.  

🔔 Real-Time Alerts: Get notified instantly via pop-up or app notification when a new Buy or Sell Imbalance Zone is detected.

How It Works
Unlike standard volume indicators that only show the total volume per bar, this tool analyzes the specific interaction between buyers and sellers inside the candle. It looks for areas where one side was significantly more aggressive than the other.

Green Zones (Buy Imbalances): Areas where aggressive buyers swept the offer. These often act as strong support when price retraces to them.

Red Zones (Sell Imbalances): Areas where aggressive sellers hit the bid. These often act as strong resistance.
