Intraday Macro & Flow Indicator

## Introduction
IntraMacroFlow is a volume and delta-based indicator that identifies significant price movements within trading sessions. It generates signals when volume spikes coincide with quality price movement, filtered by RSI to avoid overbought/oversold conditions.
> **Note:** This indicator provides multiple signals and should be combined with additional analysis methods such as support/resistance, trend direction, and price action patterns.
## Inputs
### Volume Settings
* **Volume Lookback Period** (14) - Number of bars for volume moving average calculation
* **Volume Threshold Multiplier** (1.5) - Required volume increase over average to generate signals
* **Delta Threshold** (0.3) - Required close-to-open movement relative to bar range (higher = stronger movement)
### Session Configuration
* **Use Dynamic Session Detection** (true) - Automatically determine session times
* **Highlight Market Open Period** (true) - Highlight first third of trading session
* **Highlight Mid-Session Period** (true) - Highlight middle portion of trading session
* **Detect Signals Throughout Whole Session** (true) - Find signals in entire session
* **Session Time** ("0930-1600") - Trading hours in HHMM-HHMM format
* **Session Type** ("Regular") - Select Regular, Extended, or Custom session
### Manual Session Settings
Used when dynamic detection is disabled:
* **Manual Session Open Hour** (9)
* **Manual Session Open Minute** (30)
* **Manual Session Open Duration** (60)
* **Manual Mid-Session Start Hour** (12)
* **Manual Mid-Session End Hour** (14)
## How It Works
The indicator analyzes each bar using three primary conditions:
1. **Volume Condition**: Current volume > Average volume × Threshold
2. **Delta Condition**: |Close-Open|/Range > Delta threshold
3. **Time Condition**: Bar falls within configured session times
When all conditions are met:
* Bullish signals appear when close > open and RSI < 70
* Bearish signals appear when close < open and RSI > 30
## Display Elements
### Shapes and Colors
* Green triangles below bars - Bullish signals
* Red triangles above bars - Bearish signals
* Blue background - Market open period
* Purple background - Mid-session period
* Bar coloring - Green (bullish), Red (bearish), or unchanged
### Information Panel
A dynamic label shows:
* Current volume relative to average (Vol)
* Delta value for current bar (Delta)
* RSI value (RSI)
* Session status (Active/Closed)
## Calculation Method
```
// Volume Condition
volumeMA = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
volumeCondition = volume > volumeMA * volumeThreshold
// Delta Calculation (price movement quality)
priceRange = high - low
delta = math.abs(close - open) / priceRange
deltaCondition = delta > deltaThreshold
// Direction and RSI Filter
bullishBias = close > open and entrySignal and not (rsi > 70)
bearishBias = close < open and entrySignal and not (rsi < 30)
```
## Usage Recommendations
### Suitable Markets
* Equities during regular trading hours
* Futures markets
* Forex during active sessions
* Cryptocurrencies with defined volume patterns
### Recommended Timeframes
* 1-minute to 1-hour (optimal: 5 or 15-minute)
### Parameter Adjustments
* For fewer but stronger signals: increase Volume Threshold (2.0+) and Delta Threshold (0.4-0.6)
* For more signals: decrease Volume Threshold (1.2-1.5) and Delta Threshold (0.2-0.3)
### Usage Tips
* Combine with trend analysis for higher-probability entries
* Focus on signals occurring at session boundaries and mid-session
* Use opposite signals as potential exit points
* Configure alerts to receive notifications when signals occur
## Additional Notes
* RSI parameters are fixed at 14 periods with 70/30 thresholds
* The indicator handles overnight sessions correctly
* Fully compatible with TradingView alerts
* Customizable visual elements
## Release Notes
Initial release: This is a template indicator that should be customized to suit your specific trading strategies and preferences.
This indicator is to help identify entry or exit signals to compliment an existing Bias.
Delta should be tuned to you requirements.
