# 📘 OPERATING MANUAL: Massive Order Spike Detector (v1.0)

## 1. PURPOSE OF THE TOOL
The **Massive Order Spike Detector** is a quantitative analysis tool designed to isolate volume anomalies. By utilizing **Standard Deviation (σ)**, it identifies the exact moments when order flow exceeds statistical norms, signaling institutional intervention ("Smart Money"), high-frequency trading (HFT) activity, or market climax events.

## 2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & INPUTS
The indicator calculates the ratio between current volume and its historical volatility to define "extreme" participation.

### **Configuration Settings**
* **Volume Spike Multiplier (x σ):** *Default: **4.0***
* *Function:* Sets the sensitivity threshold. A value of 4.0 triggers a signal only if the current volume is 4 times the standard deviation of the lookback period.
* **StDev Lookback Length:** *Default: **200***
* *Function:* Defines the sample size (number of bars) used to establish the "baseline" or "normal" volume.

## 3. SIGNAL INTERPRETATION PROTOCOL

| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Massive Buy Spike** | 🟢 Lime Triangle (Below) | Vol ≥ 4σ + Close > Open | Extreme buying pressure. Potential accumulation or aggressive breakout. |

## 4. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES (STRATEGIES)

### **A. Breakout Validation (Trend Following)**
* **Context:** Price is testing a key Support/Resistance or a consolidation zone.
* **Trigger:** A Spike appears (Lime for Long / Red for Short) as the level is breached.
* **Execution:** The signal confirms that institutional volume is backing the move. High probability of trend continuation.

### **B. Exhaustion Climax (Mean Reversion)**
* **Context:** Price is in an extended trend (overbought/oversold).
* **Trigger:** A Spike appears in the direction of the trend, but the candle features a long wick (rejection) or a small body.
* **Execution:** This indicates a "Blow-off Top" or "Selling Climax." Traders should look to take profits or prepare for a reversal once market structure shifts.

## 5. ALERT MANAGEMENT
To ensure no institutional moves are missed, follow this setup for TradingView notifications:

1. Open the **"Create Alert"** panel in TradingView.
2. Select **"Massive Order Spike Detector"** as the condition.
3. Set frequency to: **"Once Per Bar Close"** (to prevent false triggers during mid-candle volatility).
4. The automated message includes the **Normalized Volume** value to gauge the magnitude of the spike.

## 6. RISK WARNINGS & BEST PRACTICES
⚠️ **Macro Events:** During high-impact news (e.g., NFP, CPI), spikes are common but highly volatile. Use wider stop losses or avoid entry during the first 5 minutes.
⚠️ **Low Liquidity Assets:** On "thin" charts, a 4.0 multiplier may trigger too often. Increase the multiplier to **6.0+** for better accuracy.
⚠️ **Confluence:** Never trade a spike in isolation. Always align signals with Price Action (Support/Resistance) or Trend Filters (e.g., 200 EMA).
