Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals (Zeiierman)

█ Overview
The Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals indicator is designed to detect key Volume Clusters and provide Retest Signals. This tool is specifically engineered for traders looking to capitalize on volume-based trends, reversals, and key price retest points.

The indicator seamlessly combines volume analysis, dynamic cluster calculations, and retest signal logic to present a comprehensive trading framework. It adapts to market conditions, identifying clusters of volume activity and signaling when the price retests critical zones.



█ How It Works

⚪ Volume Cluster Detection
The indicator dynamically calculates volume clusters by analyzing the highest and lowest price points within a specified lookback period.

Cluster Logic:

Bright Lines (Strong Red/Green):

• These indicate that the price has frequently revisited these levels, creating a dense cluster.
  
• Such areas serve as support or resistance, where significant historical trading has occurred, often acting as barriers to price movement.
  
• Traders should consider these levels as potential reversal zones or consolidation points.
  

Faded or Darker Lines:

• These lines indicate areas where the price has less historical activity, suggesting weaker clustering.
  
• These zones have less market memory and are more likely to break, supporting trend continuation and rapid price movement.
  

⚪ Candle Color Logic (Market Memory)

Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):

• Candles turn blue when the price has revisited a particular area many times.
  
• This signals a highly clustered zone, likely to act as a barrier, creating consolidation or range phases.
  
• These areas indicate strong market memory, potentially rejecting price attempts to break through.
  

Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):

• Once the price breaks out of these dense clusters, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish).
  
• This suggests the price has moved into a less clustered territory, where the path forward is clearer and trends are likely to extend without immediate resistance.
  

⚪ Retest Signal Logic
The indicator identifies critical retest points where the price crosses a cluster boundary and then reverses. These points are essential for traders looking to catch continuation or reversal setups.

⚪ Dynamic Price Clustering
The indicator dynamically adapts the clustering logic based on price movement and volume shifts.

• Uses a dynamic moving average (VPMA) to maintain adaptive cluster levels.
  
• Integrates a Kalman Filter for smoothing, reducing noise, and improving trend clarity.
  
• Automatically updates as new data is received, keeping the clusters relevant in real-time.
  

█ How to Use

⚪ Trend Following & Reversal Detection

• Use Retest signals to identify potential trend continuation or reversal points.
  

⚪ Trading Volume Clusters and Market Memory

Identify Key Zones:

• Focus on bright, saturated cluster lines (strong red or green) as they indicate high market memory, where price has spent significant time in the past.
  
• These zones are likely to exhibit a more choppy market. Apply range or mean reversion strategies.
  

Spot Potential Breakouts:

• Faded or darker cluster lines indicate areas of low market memory, where the price has moved quickly and spent less time.
  
• Use these areas to identify possible trend setups, as they represent lower resistance to price movement.
  

⚪ Interpreting Candle Colors for Market Phases

Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):

• When candles turn blue, it signals that the price has revisited this area multiple times, creating a dense cluster.
  
• These zones often trap price movement, leading to consolidations or range phases.
  
• Use these areas as caution zones, where price can slow down or reverse.
  

Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):

• Once the price breaks out of these clustered zones, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish), indicating lower market memory.
  
• This signals a trend initiation with less immediate resistance, ideal for momentum and breakout trades.
  
• Use these signals to identify emerging trends and ride the momentum.
  

█ Settings

• Range Lookback Period: Sets the number of bars for calculating the range.
  
• Zone Width (% of Range): Determines how wide the volume clusters are relative to the calculated range.
  
• Volume Line Colors: Customize the appearance of bullish and bearish lines.
  
• Retest Signals: Toggle the appearance of Triangle Up/Down retest markers.
  
• Minimum Bars for Retest: Define the minimum number of bars required before a retest is valid.
  
• Maximum Bars for Retest: Set the maximum number of bars within which a retest can occur.
  
• Price Cluster Period: Adjusts the sensitivity of the dynamic clustering logic.
  
• Cluster Confirmation: Controls how tightly the clusters respond to price action.
  
• Price Cluster Start/Peak: Sets the minimum and maximum touches required to fully form a cluster.
