APC HIRO Proxy Flow PressureAP Capital – HIRO Proxy (Flow Pressure)
AP Capital – HIRO Proxy is a price- and volume-based flow pressure oscillator designed to approximate institutional hedging / directional pressure using only native chart data.
⚠️ This is a proxy model. It does not use options-market data or real SpotGamma HIRO feeds.
🔍 What this indicator does
The indicator measures directional efficiency × volume pressure on every bar, accumulates it intraday, and then normalizes the result using a Z-score so it adapts cleanly across symbols and timeframes.
The output is displayed as candle-style pressure bars, making momentum shifts and pressure flips visually obvious.
🧠 Core Logic
Directional Efficiency
Measures how effectively price closes within its candle range
Strong closes near highs/lows increase pressure
Volume Weighting
Pressure is weighted by volume (optionally logarithmic)
Prevents single spikes from distorting the signal
Cumulative Flow
Pressure accumulates bar-by-bar
Optional daily reset for intraday trading
Z-Score Normalization
Normalizes pressure relative to recent history
Allows consistent thresholds across assets
📊 How to read the indicator
Green candles above zero

Red candles below zero

Zero line
→ Neutral balance / transition zone
±1 / ±2 Z-Bands
→ Elevated or extreme pressure conditions
Triangle signals
▲ Up Pressure → Z-score crosses above positive threshold
▼ Down Pressure → Z-score crosses below negative threshold
