[CodaPro] Smart Money Flow Engine V1.0

Smart Money Flow Engine V1.0 - Volume Separation, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Reversal Protection

OVERVIEW

The Smart Money Flow Engine is a multi-layered institutional flow detection system. It separates buying and selling volume, identifies smart money concepts (order blocks and fair value gaps), scores reversal risk using a weighted system, and generates confluence-based trade signals with built-in trade management.

This is not a simple volume indicator. It is a complete analytical framework designed to help traders understand what institutional participants are doing beneath the surface of price action.

HOW IT WORKS

1. VOLUME SEPARATION
The engine splits each bar's volume into estimated bull and bear components based on the relationship between open, close, high, and low. These are smoothed using VWMA over a configurable period (default 24). When bull volume dominates above a delta threshold, the indicator identifies a bull zone. When bear volume dominates, a bear zone. This separation is the foundation for all other calculations.

2. INSTITUTIONAL DETECTION
When total volume exceeds the average by a configurable multiplier (default 2x) AND the directional volume confirms the move, the bar is flagged as institutional activity. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1.0 (very sensitive) to 2.0 (strict), allowing users to tune for their specific instrument.

3. ORDER BLOCKS
Bullish order blocks are identified where a bearish candle with strong volume is immediately followed by a move above that candle's high. Bearish order blocks are the inverse. These are drawn as labeled boxes on the chart in Pro display mode.

4. FAIR VALUE GAPS
The indicator detects price imbalances (gaps between candle bodies) that exceed a minimum percentage threshold (default 0.3%). Bullish FVGs appear as dashed boxes where price gapped up, bearish FVGs where price gapped down. These represent areas where price may return to fill the imbalance.

5. REVERSAL PROTECTION SYSTEM (Weighted Scoring)
Before any signal fires, the engine calculates a reversal risk score (0-100) using four weighted components:
- RSI Extremes (default 30 weight): Is RSI oversold or overbought?
- Volume Climax (default 25 weight): Is there a volume spike at a price extreme?
- Price Stretch (default 20 weight): Is price extended far from its EMA?
- Consecutive Candles (default 25 weight): Have we seen exhaustion patterns?

If the reversal score exceeds the threshold (default 50), the signal is blocked. This prevents buying at tops and selling at bottoms. The weights are fully adjustable so you can emphasize the factors that matter most for your instrument.

6. CONFLUENCE-BASED SIGNALS
Signals require multiple confirmations before firing. In Aggressive mode, 2 of 5 factors must align. Balanced requires 3. Conservative requires 4. The five confluence factors are: volume zone direction, institutional activity, order block presence, fair value gap presence, and flow percentile rank.

All signals require barstate.isconfirmed before firing. This indicator does not repaint.

7. TRADE MANAGEMENT
Optional one-trade-at-a-time system with configurable take profit, stop loss, and maximum bars in trade. TP/SL lines are drawn on chart while a position is active. When a trade exits (by TP, SL, or max bars), the exit reason is labeled on the chart.

8. MONEY FLOW PROFILE
In Pro display mode, a histogram-style flow profile is drawn to the right of the chart showing the distribution of net flow over the last 100 bars. Color gradients indicate bull vs bear flow intensity with a glowing zero line for reference. The most concentrated flow bucket pulses for emphasis.

NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION

This indicator is designed to be fully non-repainting on confirmed bars:
- No request.security calls (no lookahead risk)
- All entry and exit signals gated by barstate.isconfirmed
- All visual elements (labels, boxes, plotshapes) only render on confirmed bars
- Consecutive candle counting only updates on confirmed bars
- RSI level tracking only updates on confirmed bars
- Dashboard and money flow profile update on current bar for display purposes only and have no impact on signal generation

USAGE

Apply to any instrument on any timeframe. The indicator works on stocks, forex, crypto, and futures. Start with default settings and adjust the signal mode based on your trading style. Use the reversal protection weights to fine-tune which conditions matter most for your instrument.

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY STYLE

Scalping: Aggressive mode, lower cooldown (5-10), tighter TP/SL
Swing: Balanced mode, moderate cooldown (15-25), wider TP/SL
Position: Conservative mode, high cooldown (30+), widest TP/SL

ABOUT THE BUILD

This indicator was engineered using ARiS, the AI coding engine behind CodaPro. ARiS is a collaborative development system that translates trading concepts into production-grade Pine Script. The strategy logic, volume separation methodology, reversal protection scoring system, and signal architecture were designed by ARiS through CodaPro.ai. ARiS handled the code architecture, optimization, and non-repainting compliance.
