Whale Detector By SFP - Oil Futures

A quick and dirty whale label system with numbers to match.

Credit this is a rewrite of the existing whale detector by HK.

I became frustrated with the wonderful detail, but lack of data. So a kit bash version was born.

Notas de prensa

Update include clearer labels and improved accumulation data detection. Slowly rolling out offset controls to move labels away from other indicators on chart.

Notas de prensa

Updated for cumulative value from large targets at the active candle.

🐋 **Oil Whale Indicator – Institutional Activity Detection**

The **Oil Whale Indicator** is designed to highlight potential **large participant activity (“whales”)** within crude oil markets by analyzing abnormal behavior in price and volume structures. These signals can help traders identify moments where **institutional liquidity may be entering or exiting the market**.

This tool works best when used on **high-liquidity instruments**, where large participants are most active.

### Recommended Markets

Many TradingView users begin with the default **USOIL** ticker. While this can provide a useful reference, deeper analysis is typically available through **CME / NYMEX WTI futures**, such as:

• **NYMEX:CL1!** – Continuous front-month WTI crude futures
• **NYMEX:MCL1!** – Micro WTI futures (scaled contract)

These markets tend to reflect **stronger institutional participation and liquidity**, which improves the reliability of whale-style signal detection.

### Important Notes

Smaller brokerage feeds can sometimes return **limited volume data**, which may reduce the accuracy of large-order detection. For this reason, comparing signals across **multiple data feeds or futures markets** can provide better confirmation.

### Upcoming Improvements

A more advanced **strategy readout and statistics table** will be added as development time permits. Future updates may also include expanded analytics and additional tools for evaluating whale activity.

⚠️ **Disclaimer:**
This indicator highlights potential areas of unusual activity but **does not predict market direction**. Always combine signals with proper risk management and additional analysis.
