Signals & Chart Anatomy

AIMS The Seed transforms your chart into a unified momentum workspace by highlighting Inside Bar volatility contractions directly on price candles and providing a day-bounded session anchor.

The Seed: Inside Bar Compression Anatomy​

An Inside Bar occurs when the entire high-to-low range of the current candle is completely engulfed within the range of the preceding mother bar:

  • High Bracket (Buffer 4): A gold histogram bar (clrGold) capping the high of the Inside Bar.
  • Low Bracket (Buffer 5): A gold histogram bar (clrGold) floor under the low of the Inside Bar.
  • Market Significance: Represents a temporary equilibrium where volatility contracts to extreme lows before an aggressive directional expansion.

Momentum-Colored Candlesticks​

Unlike basic charts that color bars purely on Close > Open, The Seed colors bars according to the slope of the Awesome Oscillator (AO):

  • Green Candle (Bull Body & Wick, Buffers 0 & 2): Rendered in clrForestGreen whenever AO momentum is rising (AO[0] > AO[1]). Keeps traders aligned with bullish order flow.
  • Red Candle (Bear Body & Wick, Buffers 1 & 3): Rendered in clrCrimson whenever AO momentum is falling (AO[0] < AO[1]). Warns traders against buying into bearish momentum even if the candle close is nominally higher.

Session Open Benchmark Line​

When InpShowDailyOpen = true, a continuous horizontal benchmark line (Buffer 6, clrDeepSkyBlue, dashed) is projected from InpOpenHour:InpOpenMinute:

  • Intraday Bullish Regime: Price trades above the Session Open line.
  • Intraday Bearish Regime: Price trades below the Session Open line.
