Pulse Heatmap [LB]
Pulse Reaction Heatmap [LB]
Overview
The Pulse Reaction Heatmap [LB] is a high-precision contextual price-reading indicator. It fuses an adaptive liquidity pulse with a dynamic volume density heatmap. Its core goal: reveal the "Market Footprint"—visually pinpointing price levels of institutional activity, liquidity absorption, and trend re-accumulation.
It delivers no mechanical signals; it spotlights zones primed for market reactions, defenses, or transitions.
Core Mechanism: The Pulse Line
Anchored by the Pulse, a hybrid trend-tracking line:
Adaptive Logic: Blends a Fast EMA (18) and Anchor EMA (34) to capture market equilibrium.
"Stickiness" Factor: ATR-based filter keeps it "glued" to price in consolidation, fluidly adapting during breakouts—eliminating the "lagging float" of standard MAs.
Dynamic Window: Pulse-centered workspace via multi-ATR, keeping the heatmap volatility-relevant.
Heatmap Construction & Scoring
Weighted scoring algorithm per bar in the lookback:
Conviction Weighting: Volume filtered by Body-to-Range ratio—large-body candles (low wicks) add max "conviction" density.
Positional Distribution: Weights across Full Range, Close (Acceptance), and Wick Extremes (Test Levels).
Temporal Decay: Older data fades mathematically (factor 0.978), prioritizing recent "hot" interest.
Visual Interpretation (Color Logic)
Gradient shows Market Interest Intensity:
Cold Zones (Blues/Greys): "Thin" liquidity; price slices through fast.
Intermediate Zones (Yellows/Oranges): Market Rotation—active order book equilibrium.
Hot Zones (Bright Red/Orange): Peak density; highly probable "accepted" prices for reactions/defenses.
Practical Trading Application
Confluence for AMT: Dynamic high-volume nodes and value areas as trends evolve.
Filtering Pullbacks: Target retraces into "Hot" zones for institutional defense confirmation.
Breakout Validation: Break + heatmap "re-densification" above = New Price Acceptance.
Important: The Pulse Reaction Heatmap [LB] is a Contextual Analysis Tool, not automated signals. Pair with Market Structure and Price Action to target true zones.
