Meridian Imbalance Ledger [JOAT]
Introduction
Meridian Imbalance Ledger is an open-source imbalance mapping tool that tracks confirmed chart-timeframe, higher-timeframe, and micro-structure fair value gaps inside one coordinated framework. The script is designed to answer three practical questions: where imbalance was created, whether that imbalance is still active, and how price is behaving when it returns to those zones.
The indicator solves a context problem. Many imbalance tools only mark a gap once and leave the trader to manually judge whether it remains relevant. Meridian instead maintains a living ledger of active zones, inversion status, fill progress, age, and structural pressure so the chart shows which imbalances still matter and which ones have been consumed.
Core Concepts
1. Multi-source imbalance detection
Meridian separates imbalance generation into three sources:
This allows a trader to see whether current price is interacting with local inefficiency, inherited higher-timeframe inefficiency, or smaller sub-bar displacement inside the current bar structure.
2. Fill progress and retirement logic
Each zone remains active until its fill rule is satisfied. The script supports configurable retirement behavior so zones can be treated as mitigated on a simple touch, midpoint interaction, or deeper body-based invalidation depending on the chosen rule set.
3. Inversion tracking
If price meaningfully breaches an imbalance, the zone can be treated as structurally altered rather than simply forgotten. Meridian keeps inversion state so prior bullish inefficiency can become resistance context and prior bearish inefficiency can become support context.
4. Age and pressure weighting
Not all zones deserve equal weight. Meridian tracks zone age and active count to create a pressure ratio that helps communicate whether bullish or bearish imbalance structure is dominating the chart right now.
Features
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify whether current price is trading inside fresh chart-timeframe imbalance or approaching older inherited imbalance from a higher timeframe.
Step 2: Use the dashboard counts and bias ratio to judge whether current imbalance structure is skewed toward support or resistance.
Step 3: Monitor inversion states. A previously bullish zone that has failed cleanly may become useful resistance context on retests.
Step 4: Treat micro imbalance scans as execution detail, not a standalone trend signal. The broader chart and HTF layers should carry more decision weight.
Limitations
Originality Statement
Meridian Imbalance Ledger is original in the way it combines confirmed chart imbalances, non-repainting higher-timeframe imbalance inheritance, optional micro scans, and zone lifecycle management into one stateful framework. The script is intended as a structured market context layer, not a one-click entry signal.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or trade recommendations. Imbalance reactions can fail, invert, or be ignored entirely by the market. Always use independent confirmation and risk management.

Core Concepts
1. Multi-source imbalance detection
Meridian separates imbalance generation into three sources:
- Chart timeframe imbalances
- Higher-timeframe imbalances requested with non-repainting offset logic
- Optional micro-structure imbalance scans from lower-timeframe data
This allows a trader to see whether current price is interacting with local inefficiency, inherited higher-timeframe inefficiency, or smaller sub-bar displacement inside the current bar structure.
2. Fill progress and retirement logic
Each zone remains active until its fill rule is satisfied. The script supports configurable retirement behavior so zones can be treated as mitigated on a simple touch, midpoint interaction, or deeper body-based invalidation depending on the chosen rule set.
3. Inversion tracking
If price meaningfully breaches an imbalance, the zone can be treated as structurally altered rather than simply forgotten. Meridian keeps inversion state so prior bullish inefficiency can become resistance context and prior bearish inefficiency can become support context.
4. Age and pressure weighting
Not all zones deserve equal weight. Meridian tracks zone age and active count to create a pressure ratio that helps communicate whether bullish or bearish imbalance structure is dominating the chart right now.
Features
- Chart, HTF, and micro imbalance layers: Multiple imbalance sources displayed in one coordinated ledger
- Non-repainting HTF requests: Higher-timeframe data requested using historical offsets for safer confirmed context
- Fill-progress tracking: Zones remain active until their configured retirement condition is met
- Inversion state handling: Breached imbalances can remain visible as flipped structural context
- Age-aware zone fading: Older zones visually decay to reduce clutter while retaining context
- Pressure ratio and active counts: Quick read on whether bullish or bearish imbalance pressure is leading
- Compact top-right dashboard: Displays counts, inversion totals, micro scan status, and bias ratio
- Confirmed-bar alerts: New imbalance, inversion, and state transitions only trigger on confirmed bars
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify whether current price is trading inside fresh chart-timeframe imbalance or approaching older inherited imbalance from a higher timeframe.
Step 2: Use the dashboard counts and bias ratio to judge whether current imbalance structure is skewed toward support or resistance.
Step 3: Monitor inversion states. A previously bullish zone that has failed cleanly may become useful resistance context on retests.
Step 4: Treat micro imbalance scans as execution detail, not a standalone trend signal. The broader chart and HTF layers should carry more decision weight.
Limitations
- Micro-structure scans depend on lower-timeframe availability and plan limits
- HTF imbalances are intentionally delayed by one completed HTF bar to reduce repaint risk
- An imbalance zone is contextual, not a guarantee of reversal or continuation
