Delta Manipulation Footprint

Introduction

The Delta Manipulation Footprint indicator highlights significant shifts in volume delta between consecutive candles, helping traders visually identify potential market manipulation or strong buying/selling pressure. By analyzing the difference in buy and sell volume (delta) and its changes over time, this indicator reveals aggressive market behavior often associated with big players.

Key Features

- Calculates the absolute difference of volume delta between candles, maintaining the direction of change.
- Uses a customizable moving average and threshold multiplier to filter meaningful volume shifts.
- Colors candles green when delta difference is notably increasing, and red when decreasing, for clear visual signals.
- Fully overlays the main price chart, painting candles directly for intuitive interpretation.

How to Use

Apply this indicator to your price chart to instantly visualize periods of significant volume delta shifts. Look for green candles signaling rising buying pressure and red candles showing increasing selling pressure. Adjust the moving average length and threshold multiplier inputs to tune sensitivity to your trading style or particular market behavior. Use in conjunction with other price action and volume indicators to confirm signals and improve trade timing.

This tool is ideal for traders aiming to spot footprint-like manipulations in volume delta, aiding in the detection of institutional activity and potential market turning points.
