Institutional Footprint Indicator

The Institutional Footprint Indicator is designed to help traders identify institutional activity by tracking large block trades, unusual volume spikes, and buy/sell pressure. It highlights key market moves that are often invisible to the average trader, giving you a significant edge.

🔎 Key Features:
• Block Trade Detection: Plots green square blocks above bars when large institutional trades occur.
• Unusual Volume Alerts: Highlights bright orange shaded areas when volume exceeds a customizable threshold, signaling major institutional interest.
• Buy and Sell Pressure Identification:
• Upward Arrows: Show strong buy pressure when the price moves with increased bullish momentum.
• Downward Arrows: Indicate strong sell pressure, often signaling distribution or short-selling.
• Liquidity Zone Detection: Marks high and low liquidity zones where institutions are likely accumulating or distributing.

🚀 How to Use:
1. Confirm Breakouts or Breakdowns:
• When block trades and unusual volume align with price movement, it often indicates a powerful move driven by institutions.
2. Spot Fakeouts:
• If you see block trades but no follow-through or the price reverses, it may be a market maker trap.
3. Follow Smart Money:
• Track buy or sell pressure to gauge institutional sentiment and enter trades with confidence.
4. Identify Reversal Zones:
• Unusual volume spikes at key levels often signal the start of a major reversal.

⚙️ Customization Options:
• Lookback Period: Adjust the period for volume and block trade detection.
• Block Trade Multiplier: Set the sensitivity for identifying large trades.
• Volume Threshold: Control when unusual volume is highlighted.
• Delta Sensitivity: Fine-tune buy/sell pressure detection.
