APC HIRO Proxy Flow Pressure

2 155
AP Capital – HIRO Proxy (Flow Pressure)

AP Capital – HIRO Proxy is a price- and volume-based flow pressure oscillator designed to approximate institutional hedging / directional pressure using only native chart data.

⚠️ This is a proxy model. It does not use options-market data or real SpotGamma HIRO feeds.

🔍 What this indicator does

The indicator measures directional efficiency × volume pressure on every bar, accumulates it intraday, and then normalizes the result using a Z-score so it adapts cleanly across symbols and timeframes.

The output is displayed as candle-style pressure bars, making momentum shifts and pressure flips visually obvious.

🧠 Core Logic

Directional Efficiency

Measures how effectively price closes within its candle range

Strong closes near highs/lows increase pressure

Volume Weighting

Pressure is weighted by volume (optionally logarithmic)

Prevents single spikes from distorting the signal

Cumulative Flow

Pressure accumulates bar-by-bar

Optional daily reset for intraday trading

Z-Score Normalization

Normalizes pressure relative to recent history

Allows consistent thresholds across assets

📊 How to read the indicator

Green candles above zero
→ Net bullish pressure (buyers in control)

Red candles below zero
→ Net bearish pressure (sellers in control)

Zero line
→ Neutral balance / transition zone

±1 / ±2 Z-Bands
→ Elevated or extreme pressure conditions

Triangle signals

▲ Up Pressure → Z-score crosses above positive threshold

▼ Down Pressure → Z-score crosses below negative threshold
