CVD Reversal Divergence (Exhaustion)

Overview
The CVD Reversal Divergence (Exhaustion) indicator is designed to identify potential market reversals by analyzing the divergence between price action and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD).

Hypothesis
This indicator is built on the "Order Flow Exhaustion" hypothesis. In efficient markets, price trends should be supported by volume. When price hits a new high but CVD fails to follow (or vice versa), it indicates that the current momentum is exhausted, often signaling a pending reversal.

Key Features

Buying Exhaustion (Red Triangle): Signals a potential downward reversal when price structure diverges from buying pressure.
Selling Exhaustion (Green Triangle): Signals a potential upward reversal when price structure diverges from selling pressure.
Pivot-Based Detection: Uses structural pivot points to filter out intraday market noise, ensuring high-quality signals.

Understanding "Pivot Lookback (Bars)"

The Pivot Lookback parameter is the most critical setting for this indicator:
What it does: It defines the number of bars required on each side of a pivot point to confirm it as a local high or low.
How to tune it:
Lower Values (e.g., 3-5): Increases sensitivity, allowing the indicator to detect smaller, localized reversals. Best for scalping.
Higher Values (e.g., 10-20): Increases filtering, ignoring minor pullbacks and focusing on major structural shifts. Best for trend trading.

How to use
This indicator works best on liquid assets like Futures (ES, NQ, Gold) and high-volume stocks.

Use it as a confirmation tool rather than a standalone entry signal. Combine it with Support/Resistance levels or Volume Profile POCs for the best results.

CVD Reversal Divergence (Clean & Optimized) — v0.0.1

Initial public release 🎉

This indicator spots potential trend reversals by detecting divergences between price pivots and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). When price makes a new high but aggressive buying volume doesn't follow (or vice versa at lows), it often signals exhaustion of the dominant side — a classic precursor to reversals.

🧠 The Core Idea

CVD accumulates the signed volume of every bar (+volume on up-closes, -volume on down-closes), giving you a running tally of net buying vs. selling pressure. The indicator compares consecutive price pivots against the CVD at those same pivots:

Bearish Exhaustion (red ▼): Price prints a higher high, but CVD prints a lower high → buyers are running out of fuel.
Bullish Exhaustion (green ▲): Price prints a lower low, but CVD prints a higher low → sellers are running out of fuel.

Hidden divergences (price lower high + CVD higher high, and the mirror case at lows) are also detected.

⚡ What's New in This Version — Solving the Lag Problem

The biggest weakness of any pivot-based divergence indicator is confirmation lag. A pivot high can only be confirmed after lookback bars (default: 10) have closed below it. That means by the time the triangle prints, the reversal is already 10 bars old — often too late for a good entry.

This release attacks that problem with a two-tier signal system:

1️⃣ Faint X Pre-Alerts (NEW) — the early warning

A semi-transparent ✕ is plotted in real time, on the live bar, whenever price makes a new local high/low and shows early reversal character. No waiting for pivot confirmation. These are your "heads-up, something may be turning here" signals — appearing up to lookback bars before the confirmed triangle would.

Raw "new local extreme" detection alone would fire constantly in a trend, so two stackable noise filters keep the X marks meaningful:

Filter 1 — Candle Reversal Character (Price Action):
A top pre-alert only fires if the bar actually closes bearish at the highs (and a bottom pre-alert requires a bullish close at the lows). A big momentum candle ripping to new highs will stay silent — only candles that hit resistance and get rejected will speak up.
Filter 2 — Early Divergence Character:
The current CVD must already be weaker than the CVD recorded at the previous confirmed pivot high (or stronger than the previous pivot low, for bottoms). This single check eliminates the vast majority of false alerts during strong one-sided trends, where price keeps making new highs with fresh volume support.

Both filters are on by default and can be toggled independently in settings.

2️⃣ Confirmed Triangles — the cleaner signal

The confirmed divergence signals were also reworked:

label.new → plotshape with offset=-lookback: Triangles now print directly on the actual pivot bar (the true extreme), instead of floating labels. The chart stays clean, signals are visually anchored to the exact high/low that diverged, and there's no label-count limit to worry about.
Lighter rendering, less clutter, easier backtest review.

📖 How to Use

Add to chart — works on any symbol/timeframe with volume data (crypto perps, futures, and liquid stocks work best; CVD is meaningless without reliable volume).
Watch the faint ✕ marks as your early heads-up: price is at a fresh extreme but showing rejection + weakening order flow. Use them to tighten stops, scale out, or start stalking a counter-trend setup.
Wait for the solid triangle (▼ top / ▲ bottom) as confirmation that a genuine pivot formed with CVD divergence. Note: by design this prints lookback bars after the actual extreme — it validates the earlier ✕ rather than serving as a fresh entry trigger.
Best practice: treat ✕ = "prepare," triangle = "confirm." Combine with your own structure/level analysis — divergence marks exhaustion, not an automatic reversal.

⚠️ Notes & Limitations

CVD here is approximated per-bar from candle direction (close > open → buy volume). It is not tick-by-tick bid/ask delta, but it tracks the real thing closely on liquid instruments.
CVD is cumulative from the first bar loaded, so absolute values differ across timeframes/history depth — only the relative comparison between pivots matters, which is what the indicator uses.
Confirmed signals are repainted onto the pivot bar via offset by design; the signal itself only fires once the pivot is confirmed and does not repaint after that.
No indicator is a standalone strategy. Use proper risk management.
