Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]

Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]

A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.

🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection

• Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
  

swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)

🔶 Significance Scoring System

• Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
  

🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis

• Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
  

// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
    priceChange = (close - close[lookback]) / close[lookback] * 100
    avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
    momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
    momentum

// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
    shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
    longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
    separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
    strength = separation * slopeAlignment

❓How It Works

🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection

• Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
  

// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
    currentHigh = high
    currentLow = low
    refHigh = high[2]
    refLow = low[2]
    
    if currentOpen > currentClose
        if currentHigh - refLow < 0
            upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
            lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
            centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
            
            newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
                zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound, 
                                  bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
            )

🔶 Structure Break Analysis

• Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
  

🔶 Intelligent Zone Management

• Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
  

🔶Liquidity Zone Detection

• Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
  

🔶 Visual Structure Mapping

• Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
  

🔶 Market Structure Interpretation

• HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
  

🔶 Performance Optimization

• Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.
