ScalpAtlas - Volatility, Structure, Confluence & Risk Console

IMPORTANT NOTES (READ FIRST)

• This is an indicator (not a strategy). It does not place trades. It provides a structured decision framework: context + levels + sizing.
  
• This script is written in Pine Script v6 and is intended to be used on standard candlestick charts.
  
• All numbers shown in the console (S/R, SL/TP) are displayed using the symbol’s tick size formatting for maximum price precision.
  
• No external indicators are required. The design goal is to keep the chart clean and use the Execution Console as the primary “operator panel”.
  
• Source code visibility: This script is published as Protected Source (closed-source). The purpose is to protect the work from unauthorized re-uploads/copies and to keep a stable versioning path for ongoing maintenance. This description is intentionally detailed so you can understand what the indicator does and how to use each feature without needing access to the implementation.
  

Protected Source / Closed-Source Clarification

• Protected source does not mean “trust me”. It means the internal implementation is not publicly viewable.
  
• The operational behavior is documented here: what is plotted, what each console cell means, what each input controls, and how to use the output.
  
• If you see re-uploads or near-identical copies elsewhere, treat them with caution and rely on the official publication details and visuals.
  

Overview
ScalpAtlas is a regime-aware scalping and intraday decision suite designed to unify:

• Volatility context (ATR or Gaussian bands)
  
• Non‑repainting higher-timeframe structure (confirmed HTF pivot Support/Resistance)
  
• Multi-timeframe momentum (DMI/ADX across 5m, 15m, 1h)
  
• Volume pressure + absorption proxies (volume Z-score, wick/body efficiency, wick skew)
  
• VWAP regime context (deviation and directional bias)
  
• Actionable risk sizing (account/risk inputs, friction, point value, per-stop ladder sizing)
  

Instead of cluttering the chart with dozens of labels, the script consolidates critical information into a single right-side ScalpAtlas Execution Console so you can make fast decisions with consistent formatting.

What Makes It “A Suite” (Originality & Usefulness)
This script is not a simple mashup of common indicators. It is a coordinated workflow:

• Structure defines where decisions should happen (confirmed HTF pivot zones).
  
• Volatility bands define whether price is “extended” or “discounted” relative to the current regime.
  
• MTF momentum (ADX/DMI) defines trend strength and directional alignment.
  
• VWAP deviation adds context for mean-reversion vs continuation bias.
  
• Flow metrics approximate absorption/stop activity (wick-based efficiency + volume deviation).
  
• Risk console translates context into actionable sizing (ticks, risk per contract, quantity).
  

The purpose is to reduce discretionary guesswork by presenting a consistent, tick-accurate operational picture in one place.


1) Chart Visuals - What You See on the Chart

A) Volatility Bands (ATR or Gaussian)
The script plots a basis line and upper/lower volatility envelopes.

• ATR mode: adapts to changing volatility via ATR.
  
• Gaussian mode: uses standard deviation logic for statistical dispersion.
  
• A subtle fill is used between bands for quick “zone recognition”.
  

How to use:

• When price is near the lower band, the script treats it as a discount zone (context for long ideas if other filters agree).
  
• When price is near the upper band, the script treats it as a premium zone (context for short ideas if other filters agree).
  

B) Dynamic Candle Coloring (optional)
When enabled, candles are tinted based on location vs the basis line. This is a visual aid only.

• Above basis: warmer/bullish tint.
  
• Below basis: cooler/bearish tint.
  

C) Market Structure Lines (optional)
The script draws Support (S) and Resistance (R) using confirmed higher-timeframe pivots.

• Support line: dashed, light-brown tone.
  
• Resistance line: dashed, rose tone.
  
• Labels “S” and “R” are updated on the latest bar only (no spam).
  

Non‑repainting structure policy:
Structure levels are derived from a higher timeframe and intentionally confirmed. This means:

• Levels appear only when a pivot is confirmed.
  
• Levels can update when a new confirmed pivot replaces the previous one.
  

D) Optional “Chart Signals” (OFF by default)
To keep charts clean, signal labels and auxiliary overlays are gated behind Show Chart Signals. When ON, the script may display:

• Long/Short signal labels (only on confirmed bars).
  
• Dynamic SL/TP lines for active signal context.
  
• Order block shading (a lightweight heuristic layer).
  

E) Background Strength Tint
A subtle background tint reflects the presence and strength of the current signal state.


2) ScalpAtlas Execution Console - Full Glossary
The Execution Console is the primary UI. It is designed to read like an operations dashboard.

Header Row (Row 0)

• Column 0: Script console title.
  
• Column 1: Symbol.
  
• Column 2: Chart timeframe.
  
• Column 3: Session context (London/NY vs Asia) based on current exchange time window.
  
• Column 4: VWAP header (shows VWAP or VWAP+VOL if a volume burst is present).
  
• Column 5: Band mode currently selected (ATR or Gaussian).
  

Row 1 - Momentum

• 5m / 15m / 1h ADX cells: trend strength + direction via DMI/ADX.
  Cell color reflects directional bias and trend strength.
  An “inside bar” state is highlighted distinctly to warn about compression.
  
• VWAP %: percent deviation of price from VWAP (tick-safe computations).
  
• EFF %: “efficiency” of the current bar (body size relative to total range).
  

How to use Momentum row:

• Higher ADX across 15m and 1h increases the probability that trend-following logic is appropriate.
  
• Inside-bar highlighting suggests compression and potential expansion risk (wait for confirmation).
  
• VWAP deviation helps decide continuation vs mean-reversion bias.
  

Row 2 - Flow

• Z: volume Z-score relative to its moving average and standard deviation.
  
• Abs(B): bullish absorption proxy (uses wick/balance/volume deviation mechanics).
  
• Abs(S): bearish absorption proxy.
  
• Skew: wick skew (upper vs lower wick dominance).
  
• IMB: imbalance flag (range/body relationship vs ATR context).
  

How to use Flow row:

• High Z + strong Abs(B) near support can strengthen a long thesis.
  
• High Z + strong Abs(S) near resistance can strengthen a short thesis.
  
• Skew helps interpret whether rejection is happening on one side of the candle range.
  
• IMB warns that the bar is “inefficient” (potential displacement / imbalance conditions).
  

Row 3 — Risk

• Bal: account balance input.
  
• R$: base risk amount derived from risk % (before volatility adjustment).
  
• PV: point value used for sizing (either symbol point value or your manual value).
  
• ATRSL %: ATR-based stop model expressed as percent of price.
  
• Fr: friction % (commissions/slippage buffer). This impacts the stop ladder computations.
  

Row 4 - Levels

• S: current support level (tick-formatted).
  
• R: current resistance level (tick-formatted).
  
• Tick: symbol minimum tick size.
  
• RR: risk:reward ratio used for projected TP.
  
• Adj: volatility-adjusted risk % and corresponding risk amount.
  

Row 5 - Setup (Real-time operator row)

• Signal: LONG / SHORT / NEUTRAL.
  
• Str: composite strength score (0–100) based on momentum/volume/VWAP/absorption context.
  
• SL: dynamic stop level derived from structure + buffer (tick-formatted).
  
• TP: projected take-profit using RR ratio (tick-formatted).
  
• Qty: calculated contract quantity based on your risk model.
  

Rows 6–17 - Money Management Ladder
This section models multiple stop configurations and shows the implied risk per contract and sizing.

Columns

• SL: stop model name (ATR or % ladder).
  
• SL%: selected stop percent plus friction.
  
• Ticks: the implied stop distance in ticks.
  
• Risk/ct: dollar risk per contract for that stop distance.
  
• Qty: suggested quantity for that stop model.
  

How to use the ladder:

• Pick a stop model that matches current volatility and structure spacing.
  
• If the calculated Qty is too large/small, adjust risk %, friction, or point value (or select a different stop model).
  
• Use the ladder as a “sanity check” to avoid accidental oversizing.
  

3) How the Signal Framework Works (High-Level, No Code)
The script evaluates a confluence framework that adapts to regime:

Trend regime (trend-following bias)

• Requires higher ADX confirmation across higher timeframes.
  
• Uses directional alignment across 5m/15m/1h momentum.
  
• Uses VWAP bias and band position for timing.
  
• Requires volume expansion (burst) to reduce low-liquidity signals.
  

Range / sweep regime (mean-reversion / liquidity sweep bias)

• Looks for sweeps through structure (support/resistance) and reversal back inside.
  
• Uses absorption proxies + volume expansion as confirmation.
  

Strength Score
The strength score is intended to prioritize only the best conditions:

• Trend strength contribution (ADX)
  
• Volume participation contribution (relative volume)
  
• VWAP displacement contribution
  
• Absorption contribution
  
• Imbalance contribution

5) Recommended Workflow (Practical Use)

• Step 1 — Calibrate risk inputsSet Account Balance.
  Set Risk % conservatively.
  Set Friction to reflect your real costs.
  Confirm Point Value is correct for your instrument.
  
• Step 2 — Select your structure timeframeFor intraday/scalping, use a higher timeframe that provides stable pivots (e.g., 15m/30m/1h depending on your chart timeframe).
  
• Step 3 — Use the console to decide regimeIf 15m & 1h ADX are strong and direction aligns, treat conditions as trend regime.
  If not, be more selective and consider sweep/mean-reversion contexts.
  
• Step 4 — Validate locationPrefer longs near support / lower band when context supports it.
  Prefer shorts near resistance / upper band when context supports it.
  
• Step 5 — Use SL/TP + Qty as the final gate
  • Confirm SL makes structural sense.
    
  • Confirm Qty is reasonable.
    
  • If not reasonable, do not force the trade—adjust stop model or risk.
    

7) Limitations & Best-Use Guidance

• This tool does not know your broker execution, slippage, or fills. The risk ladder is a planning model.
  
• Volume-based logic depends on the quality of volume data for the symbol/exchange.
  
• Structure pivots are confirmed by design; you may see levels update only after confirmation.
  
• Order block shading is a lightweight heuristic layer and is not a full SMC mapping engine.
  
• Avoid making decisions on non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi / Renko / etc.) if you want consistency with price-based stops and risk sizing.
