Updated 3A Setup + Order Flow
3A Setup + Order Flow Indicator
Combines Fabio's 3A Strategy (Absorption + Accumulation + Aggression) with Order Flow volume analysis.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 ORDER FLOW BUBBLES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Volume bubbles sized by relative volume vs moving average:
• 🟢 Green = Buy Dominant (strong bullish body or long lower wick)
• ⚫ Black = Sell Dominant (strong bearish body or long upper wick)
• 🟡 Yellow = Neutral (high volume but no clear direction)
Bubble size: Small → Normal → Large → Huge
Based on volume / SMA ratio thresholds.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 3A SETUP SIGNALS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AAA signal triggers ONLY when all 3 conditions align:
1️⃣ Absorption 🔶
High volume bars with small bodies.
Institutions absorbing opposing orders.
Requires minimum 2 absorption bars in lookback.
2️⃣ Accumulation 📦
Tight consolidation range after absorption.
Volume decreases = calm before the storm.
Range must be less than 1x ATR.
3️⃣ Aggression 💥
Breakout bar with high volume + large body.
Must close beyond accumulation range + margin.
Confirms institutional direction.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 CHART MARKINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• 🔶 Orange Diamond = Absorption bar detected
• 🟩 Green Box = Bullish accumulation zone
• 🟥 Red Box = Bearish accumulation zone
• ▲ AAA▲ = Buy signal (all 3 confirmed)
• ▼ AAA▼ = Sell signal (all 3 confirmed)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
All parameters are adjustable:
• Volume MA length
• Bubble size thresholds
• Absorption: volume multiplier, max body ratio, min bars
• Accumulation: length, ATR multiplier
• Aggression: volume multiplier, min body ratio, break margin
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📖 HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Watch for orange diamonds (absorption)
2. Wait for tight consolidation (accumulation)
3. Enter on AAA▲ or AAA▼ signal (aggression)
4. Use bubbles for additional confirmation
5. Stop loss below/above the accumulation box
