📊 Wyckoff PhaseMap Overlay [Fxalgox]

Professional Wyckoff Market Cycle Indicator for TradingView

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 OVERVIEW

The Wyckoff PhaseMap Overlay is a sophisticated indicator that automatically identifies and visualizes the four phases of the Wyckoff Market Cycle on your price chart, combining price action analysis with volume confirmation to detect:

  • Phase 1: Accumulation (Cause)
  • Phase 2: Mark Up (Effect)
  • Phase 3: Distribution (Cause)
  • Phase 4: Mark Down (Effect)


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔑 KEY FEATURES

📈 Phase Detection
  • Accumulation: Identifies selling climax (SC), automatic rally (AR), secondary tests (ST), and springs
  • Mark Up: Detects sustained uptrend with higher highs/higher lows structure
  • Distribution: Recognizes buying climax (BC), UTAD (upthrust after distribution), and range formation
  • Mark Down: Confirms breakdown with volume and downtrend structure


🎨 Visual Elements
  • Phase Background Colors: Optional color-coded backgrounds for each phase
  • Range Lines: Dynamic support/resistance levels during accumulation and distribution
  • Event Markers: Clear labels for Spring, UTAD, JTC (Jump the Creek), and breakdowns
  • Trend MA Overlay: Moving average for trend confirmation
  • Phase Labels: Large, descriptive labels when phases change


📊 Dashboard
  • Real-time phase status
  • Volume climax indicator
  • Event counters (Spring, UTAD, JTC)
  • Customizable position and size


🔔 Alerts

  • Spring detection
  • UTAD detection

🧠 HOW IT WORKS

Phase Detection Logic

1️⃣ Accumulation (Cause)
Triggers:
- Selling climax detected (high volume + down move)
- Price enters range-bound consolidation
- Low volume compression
- Spring: False breakdown below support with low volume


2️⃣ Mark Up (Effect)
Triggers:
- Jump The Creek (JTC): Breakout from accumulation range
- Volume confirms breakout (>1.3x average)
- Higher highs and higher lows structure
- Price above trend MA


3️⃣ Distribution (Cause)
Triggers:
- Buying climax detected (high volume + up move)
- Price enters range-bound consolidation after uptrend
- UTAD: False breakout above resistance with volume
- Range compression


4️⃣ Mark Down (Effect)
Triggers:
- Breakdown from distribution range
- Volume confirms breakdown (>1.3x average)
- Lower lows and lower highs structure
- Price below trend MA


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📝 EVENT DEFINITIONS

Event | Phase | Description | Visual
-------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------
SC | Accumulation | Selling Climax - panic selling with high volume | Volume spike + price drop
AR | Accumulation | Automatic Rally - bounce from oversold | Recovery move
ST | Accumulation | Secondary Test - retest of lows | Low volume test
Spring | Accumulation | False breakdown below support | 🟢 Label below
JTC | Mark Up | Jump The Creek - confirmed breakout | 🔵 Label (transition)
BC | Distribution | Buying Climax - euphoric buying with high volume | Volume spike + price rise
UTAD | Distribution | Upthrust After Distribution - false breakout | 🟠 Label above
SOW | Mark Down | Sign of Weakness - confirmed breakdown | 🔴 Label (transition)

📚 WYCKOFF METHOD RESOURCES

The indicator is based on Richard Wyckoff's market cycle theory:

  1. Accumulation → Smart money accumulates while retail panics
  2. Mark Up → Price rises as smart money distributes to late buyers
  3. Distribution → Smart money exits while retail buys
  4. Mark Down → Price falls as retail holds losing positions

  3. Confirmation: Always combine with other analysis methods
  4. Context: Phase detection improves with clean, trending markets


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🐛 TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: Why aren't any phases showing?
  • Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
  • Try adjusting Volume Climax Threshold (lower = more sensitive)
  • Check if Show Phase Background is enabled


Q: Too many false signals?
  • Increase Volume Climax Threshold for stricter detection
  • Increase Range Detection Length for better range identification
  • Use higher timeframes (4H/Daily)


Q: Dashboard not showing?
  • Check Show Dashboard is enabled in settings
  • Ensure panel isn't off-screen (try different position)
