The Vector Alignment Matrix (VAM) - Pivot Exit

Indicator Description: The Vector Alignment Matrix (VAM) – Pivot Exit Edition
The Vector Alignment Matrix (VAM) is an institutional-grade technical analysis tool designed for TradingView. It operates as a trend-following confluence engine, ensuring that lower-timeframe execution only occurs when supported by the "Weight of the Market"—the high-timeframe trend.

By automating the "Top-Down Analysis" methodology, VAM removes trader subjectivity and provides a clear, mechanical framework for entries and exits based on market structure.

Core Mechanics
1. The Global Matrix (HTF Alignment)
The indicator continuously monitors three critical timeframes: the Weekly (W), Daily (D), and 4-Hour (4H).

It uses a price-relative-to-range calculation to determine if the trend is Bullish or Bearish.

A "Matrix Bias" is established only when at least two of these timeframes agree.

This bias acts as a safety switch: if the Matrix is BULLISH, the indicator will ignore all sell signals, and vice versa.

2. Vector Execution (Break of Structure)
Once a bias is confirmed, the VAM looks for a Break of Structure (BOS) on the chart you are actively viewing.

It identifies significant Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows.

A signal is generated when price closes beyond a pivot in the direction of the Matrix Bias. This represents the moment the market "reveals its hand," confirming that the high-timeframe momentum is being absorbed by the lower timeframe.

3. Dynamic Pivot-Targeting (The Exit)
Unlike standard indicators that use arbitrary math for targets, the VAM uses Organic Exits.

Take Profit (TP): The indicator identifies the previous significant pivot level (resistance for longs, support for shorts) and sets it as the target.

Stop Loss (SL): The protective stop is anchored to the most recent opposing pivot, protecting the trade behind a structural barrier.
