What A Signal Is
A signal is a formula evaluated on every pair, every candle, in your browser. Numeric "views" paint a continuous metric across the whole heatmap. Boolean "scans" mark hit or no-hit and feed the Table and Tape. Selecting a signal repaints the entire heatmap history, not just the newest match.
What The Library Covers
- Core views: imbalance, taker-flow, spread, and volume.
- Depth and liquidity: walls, stacked pressure, near-versus-deep structure, thin books, and queue shape.
- Momentum: sweeps, book flips, MACD of imbalance, and ATR volatility expansion.
- Trade tape: taker sweeps, whale prints, and CVD absorption.
- Positioning: funding extremes and open-interest surges.
- Microstructure: order-flow imbalance and microprice lean.
- Statistics and timing: percentile and z-score outliers, lookback breakouts, and freshness.
Practical Rules
- Start with a simple condition before adding z-scores, percentiles, or lookback.
- Prefer thresholds that survive several market regimes.
- Use the Tape for freshness; treat older matches as context, not triggers.
- Use alerts as prompts for review, not as standalone trading decisions.
