[Teyo69] T1 Short & Long Covering

📘 Overview
The Short & Long Covering indicator is designed to help traders detect potential absorption candles and short-covering traps using a combination of normalized volume behavior and price exhaustion logic.
It visualizes possible long opportunities after sell-offs and short traps after price rallies—ideal for traders who want to anticipate reversals based on volume structure.
🧩 Features
📈 Detects rising price with falling volume → potential short covering
📉 Detects falling price with falling volume → potential long absorption
🔍 Flags volume spike conditions using normalized volume vs MA
🔵 Plots “L” (Long Covering) below bars
🔴 Plots “S” (Short Trap) above bars
Customizable pivot lookback and exhaustion period
⚙️ How to Use
Use "L" markers as possible long re-entry points after shakeouts
Use "S" markers to watch for failed rallies or bull traps
Combine with S/R zones or trend filters to confirm
Works well in conjunction with Wyckoff-style market logic or volume spread analysis (VSA)
🔧 Configuration
⚠️ Limitations

🔧 Configuration
- Price movement Lookback: Sets how many bars to compare for trend detection
- Exhaustion Lookback: Defines the recent window to confirm price is exhausted
- Normalized Volume MA Length: Used to determine volume spikes relative to average
⚠️ Limitations
- Not a standalone signal — should be used with confluence (e.g., support/resistance, trend filters)
- Best for spotting potential reversals, not trend-following entries
- May generate false signals in low volume chop or news spikes
💡 Advanced Tips
- Combine with a trend filter like appropriate EMA to avoid counter-trend setups
- Use with a support/resistance script to find confluence zones
- Watch for clustered L/S signals — multiple signals in a zone may show strong absorption or distribution
📝 Notes
- Signal logic is based on volume exhaustion and price movement divergence
- Normalized volume helps compare relative volume across time
- “Spike” condition triggers only when volume exceeds 100% of its moving average
