Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM [Arjo]
Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a directional pressure indicator designed to visualize how buying and selling commitment evolves during market trends.
Instead of focusing on price direction alone, ATM maps who is exerting stronger pressure—buyers or sellers—and how that pressure expands, weakens, or compresses over time.
Idea
ATM is built around a single concept:
Directional pressure is best understood by weighting trend strength against directional imbalance.
To achieve this, the indicator transforms trend strength into two opposing pressure measures:
These indices expand, contract, and converge based on how strongly buyers or sellers are committing, rather than simply tracking momentum or price changes.
How It Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices
ATM derives two pressure curves by weighting trend strength against directional imbalance:
Both indices operate on a 0–100 scale and are designed to diverge during strong trends and converge during non-directional or compressed phases.
Optional smoothing can be applied to reduce noise and improve readability.
2. Compression / Squeeze Detection
When:
ATM highlights a compression zone, signaling reduced directional conviction.
These zones often precede directional expansion once pressure rebuilds.
3. Adaptive Trend Context
An adaptive smoothed price curve is displayed on the chart to provide trend context.
Color changes reflect short-term directional shifts, helping align pressure signals with price structure.
This component is contextual only and does not generate signals by itself.
4. Optional Trend Bias Reference
An optional EMA-50 can be enabled to help identify broader directional bias and align pressure behavior with the prevailing trend.
5. Step-Based Visualization
The pressure indices can be optionally step-compressed, improving clarity on fast or noisy charts by reducing minor fluctuations.
How to Use ATM

Instead of focusing on price direction alone, ATM maps who is exerting stronger pressure—buyers or sellers—and how that pressure expands, weakens, or compresses over time.
Idea
ATM is built around a single concept:
Directional pressure is best understood by weighting trend strength against directional imbalance.
To achieve this, the indicator transforms trend strength into two opposing pressure measures:
- Bull Pressure Index
- Bear Pressure Index
These indices expand, contract, and converge based on how strongly buyers or sellers are committing, rather than simply tracking momentum or price changes.
How It Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices
ATM derives two pressure curves by weighting trend strength against directional imbalance:
- The Bull Pressure Index increases when upward pressure strengthens.
- The Bear Pressure Index increases when downward pressure strengthens.
Both indices operate on a 0–100 scale and are designed to diverge during strong trends and converge during non-directional or compressed phases.
Optional smoothing can be applied to reduce noise and improve readability.
2. Compression / Squeeze Detection
When:
- Trend strength weakens,
- Bull and Bear pressure converge,
- And convergence continues over time,
ATM highlights a compression zone, signaling reduced directional conviction.
These zones often precede directional expansion once pressure rebuilds.
3. Adaptive Trend Context
An adaptive smoothed price curve is displayed on the chart to provide trend context.
Color changes reflect short-term directional shifts, helping align pressure signals with price structure.
This component is contextual only and does not generate signals by itself.
4. Optional Trend Bias Reference
An optional EMA-50 can be enabled to help identify broader directional bias and align pressure behavior with the prevailing trend.
5. Step-Based Visualization
The pressure indices can be optionally step-compressed, improving clarity on fast or noisy charts by reducing minor fluctuations.
How to Use ATM
- Rising Bull Pressure → strengthening buyer commitment
- Rising Bear Pressure → strengthening seller commitment
- Wide separation between indices → strong directional trend
- Convergence with compression highlight → range or pre-breakout environment
Notes
ATM uses widely known market concepts such as trend strength, directional imbalance, and adaptive smoothing as conceptual inputs.
All calculations, pressure mapping logic, and compression detection are original implementations developed specifically for this script.
ATM is effective when used to assess participation quality, not as a standalone signal generator.
