Aggressive Predictor+ (Last Bar, Vol, Wick)

# Aggressive Predictor+ Pine Script Indicator

**Version:** Based on the script incorporating Last Bar analysis, Volume Confirmation, and Wick Rejection.

## Overview

This TradingView Pine Script indicator aims to predict the likely directional bias of the **next** candle based on an aggressive analysis of the **last closed candle's** price action, volume, and wick characteristics relative to recent market volatility (ATR).

It is designed to be **highly reactive** to the most recent bar's information. The prediction is visualized directly on the chart through shapes, a projected line, a text label, and an information table.

**Please Note:** Predicting the next candle is inherently speculative. This indicator provides a probability assessment based on its specific logic and should be used as a supplementary tool within a broader trading strategy, not as a standalone signal. Its performance heavily depends on market conditions and the chosen settings.

## Core Logic Explained

The indicator follows these steps for each new bar, looking back at the **last closed bar** (`[1]`):

1. **Calculate Recent Volatility:** Determines the Average True Range (ATR) over the specified `ATR Lookback Period` (`atr_len`). This provides context for how volatile the market has been recently.
2. **Analyze Last Bar's Body:** Calculates the price change from open to close (`close[1] - open[1]`) of the last completed bar.
3. **Compare Body to Volatility:** Compares the absolute size of the last bar's body to the calculated ATR (`prev_atr`) multiplied by a sensitivity threshold (`threshold_atr_mult`).
* If the body size (positive) exceeds the threshold, the initial prediction is "Upward".
* If the body size (negative) exceeds the negative threshold, the initial prediction is "Downward".
* Otherwise, the initial prediction is "Neutral".
4. **Check Volume Confirmation:** Compares the volume of the last bar (`volume[1]`) to its recent average volume (`ta.sma(volume, vol_avg_len)[1]`). If the volume is significantly higher (based on `vol_confirm_mult`), it adds context ("High Vol") to directional predictions.
5. **Check for Wick Rejection:** Analyzes the wicks of the last bar.
* If the initial prediction was "Upward" but there was a large upper wick (relative to the body size, defined by `wick_rejection_mult`), it indicates potential selling pressure rejecting higher prices. The prediction is **overridden to "Neutral"**.
* If the initial prediction was "Downward" but there was a large lower wick, it indicates potential buying pressure supporting lower prices. The prediction is **overridden to "Neutral"**.
6. **Determine Final Prediction:** The final state ("Upward", "Downward", or "Neutral") is determined after considering potential wick rejection overrides. Context about volume or wick rejection is added to the display text.

## Visual Elements

* **Prediction Shapes:**
* Green Up Triangle: Below the bar for an "Upward" prediction (without wick rejection).
* Red Down Triangle: Above the bar for a "Downward" prediction (without wick rejection).
* Gray Diamond: Above/Below the bar if a directional move was predicted but then neutralized due to Wick Rejection.
* **Prediction Line:**
* Extends forward from the current bar's close for `line_length` bars (Default: 20).
* Color indicates the final predicted state (Green: Upward, Red: Downward, Gray: Neutral).
* Style is solid for directional predictions, dotted for Neutral.
* The *slope/magnitude* of the line is based on recent volatility (ATR) and the `projection_mult` setting, representing a *potential* magnitude if the predicted direction holds, scaled by recent volatility. **This is purely a visual projection, not a precise price forecast.**
* **Prediction Label:**
* Appears at the end of the Prediction Line.
* Displays the final prediction state (e.g., "Upward (High Vol)", "Neutral (Wick Rej)").
* Shows the raw price change of the last bar's body and its size relative to ATR (e.g., "Last Body: 1.50 (120.5% ATR)").
* Tooltip provides more detailed calculation info.
* **Info Table:**
* Displays the prediction state, color-coded.
* Shows details about the last bar's body size relative to ATR.
* Dynamically positioned near the latest bar (offsets configurable).

## Configuration Settings (Inputs)

These settings allow you to customize the indicator's behavior and appearance. Access them by clicking the "Settings" gear icon on the indicator name on your chart.

### Price Action & ATR
* **`ATR Lookback Period` (`atr_len`):**
* *Default:* 14
* *Purpose:* Number of bars used to calculate the Average True Range (ATR), which measures recent volatility.
* **`Body Threshold (ATR Multiplier)` (`threshold_atr_mult`):**
* *Default:* 0.5
* *Purpose:* Key setting for **aggression**. The last bar's body size (`close - open`) must be greater than `ATR * this_multiplier` to be initially classified as "Upward" or "Downward".
* *Effect:* **Lower values** make the indicator **more aggressive** (easier to predict direction). Higher values require a stronger price move relative to volatility and result in more "Neutral" predictions.

### Volume Confirmation
* **`Volume Avg Lookback` (`vol_avg_len`):**
* *Default:* 20
* *Purpose:* Number of bars used to calculate the simple moving average of volume.
* **`Volume Confirmation Multiplier` (`vol_confirm_mult`):**
* *Default:* 1.5
* *Purpose:* Volume on the last bar is considered "High" if it's greater than `Average Volume * this_multiplier`.
* *Effect:* Primarily adds context "(High Vol)" or "(Low Vol)" to the display text for directional predictions. Doesn't change the core prediction state itself.

### Wick Rejection
* **`Wick Rejection Multiplier` (`wick_rejection_mult`):**
* *Default:* 1.0
* *Purpose:* If an opposing wick (upper wick on an up-candle, lower wick on a down-candle) is larger than `body size * this_multiplier`, the directional prediction is overridden to "Neutral".
* *Effect:* Higher values require a much larger opposing wick to cause a rejection override. Lower values make wick rejection more likely.

### Projection Settings
* **`Projection Multiplier (ATR based)` (`projection_mult`):**
* *Default:* 1.0
* *Purpose:* Scales the projected *magnitude* of the prediction line. The projected price change shown by the line is `+/- ATR * this_multiplier`.
* *Effect:* Adjusts how far up or down the prediction line visually slopes. Does not affect the predicted direction.
* **`Prediction Line Length (Bars)` (`line_length`):**
* *Default:* 20
* *Purpose:* Controls how many bars forward the **visual** prediction line extends.
* *Effect:* Purely visual length adjustment.

### Visuals
* **`Upward Color` (`bullish_color`):** Color for Upward predictions.
* **`Downward Color` (`bearish_color`):** Color for Downward predictions.
* **`Neutral Color` (`neutral_color`):** Color for Neutral predictions (including Wick Rejections).
* **`Show Prediction Shapes` (`show_shapes`):** Toggle visibility of the triangles/diamonds on the chart.
* **`Show Prediction Line` (`show_line`):** Toggle visibility of the projected line.
* **`Show Prediction Label` (`show_label`):** Toggle visibility of the text label at the end of the line.
* **`Show Info Table` (`show_table`):** Toggle visibility of the information table.

### Table Positioning
* **`Table X Offset (Bars)` (`table_x_offset`):**
* *Default:* 3
* *Purpose:* How many bars to the right of the current bar the info table should appear.
* **`Table Y Offset (ATR Multiplier)` (`table_y_offset_atr`):**
* *Default:* 0.5
* *Purpose:* How far above the high of the last bar the info table should appear, measured in multiples of ATR.
