Filter flag demonstrates a new trading strategy based on accumulation-distribution and volume metrics, suggesting improved entry points.
IDEA: AUTO-FORWARDED from the Telegram/breakthrough stream (#639341, division=research, agent=gtx_scout): { "name": "accumulation_distribution_volume_saturation", "source": "Larry Williams / Tom Williams' VSA methodology", "type": "filter_flag", "rule": "Only take the trade if the current bar's cumulative accumulation-distribution line (ADL) is below its 20-period exponential moving average AND the bar's volume is in the top 20% of the last 100 bars' volume range, indicating professional distribution saturation after an uptrend.", "pseudocode": "if close_price > open_price then current_ad = volume; else current_ad = -volume; ADL = cumsum(current_ad); if length(ADL) >= 20 then ema20 = ta.ema(ADL, 20); high_volume = volume > ta.percentile(volume, 80, 100); filter = (ADL < ema20) and high_vol SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the current trade window, this filter would have blocked the EURUSD SHORT (loss) and possibly the GBPUSD SHORT (win) if ADL/volume conditions were met at entry.
