AIMS Bubble — Signals & Chart Anatomy

The AIMSBubbleAdvanced indicator displays three distinct visual cues on your chart, creating a clear narrative from market stretch to confirmation.


1. Visual Signals on Chart​

A. Tier 1 Exhaustion Markers (Diamonds ◆)​

  • Gold Diamond Below Low: Indicates a 4-Pillar Oversold Climax Bar ($E \le -2.25$, Bollinger lower band penetration, Stochastic $< 20$, RSI $< 30$).
  • Magenta Diamond Above High: Indicates a 4-Pillar Overbought Climax Bar ($E \ge 2.25$, Bollinger upper band penetration, Stochastic $> 80$, RSI $> 70$).
  • Purpose: Alerts the trader that institutional selling/buying has reached peak expansion and arms the state machine for the next 1 to 3 bars.

B. Tier 2 Recovery Action Arrows (▲ / ▼)​

  • Lime Arrow Below Candle: Buy Signal triggered on the first candle that demonstrates structural recovery following an oversold climax (opposing candle, inside bar, or Bull Fruit).
  • OrangeRed Arrow Above Candle: Sell Signal triggered on the first candle that demonstrates structural recovery following an overbought climax (opposing candle, inside bar, or Bear Fruit).
  • Execution: Confirmed on bar close; enter via Buy/Sell Stop order 1 pip past the arrow bar extreme.

C. Centre-Band Snap-Back Arrows (▲ / ▼)​

  • Aqua Arrow Below Candle: Bullish Snap-Back trend continuation when an active bull impulse pulls back into the 20 EMA centre band with Bull Fruit confirmation.
  • DeepPink Arrow Above Candle: Bearish Snap-Back trend continuation when an active bear impulse pulls back into the 20 EMA centre band with Bear Fruit confirmation.

2. Dynamic Bands Anatomy​

  1. Midline (20 EMA, Gold/Dotted): Represents gravity / mean value. Trailing stops and equilibrium retests anchor to this line.
  2. Centre Bands (1.0x ATR): Defines the "Pulled-Back Zone" ($|E| \le 1.0$). Pullbacks returning to this zone while the midline maintains slope provide trend-following continuation setups.
  3. Containment Bands (2.25x ATR, Grimes Mult): Defines the boundaries of standard market volatility. 90%+ of all bars remain inside this channel. Bars closing outside represent the "Stretched Zone" ($|E| > 2.25$).

3. Buffer Mappings (for Custom EAs & Tools)​

For algorithmic developers and custom EA integrations, AIMSBubbleAdvanced exposes 12 discrete data buffers:
