Market Reversal Zone Suite

Description

Statistical market reversal zone analysis built for Sierra Chart. The suite measures order flow conditions at ZigZag pivot extremes — using Z-score methodology to identify when volume, delta, trade quantities, price range, and velocity reach statistically significant levels at potential reversal points.

Based on analysis of over 500,000 historical bars, the system quantifies whether current order flow at a pivot extreme is unusual relative to historical norms. When multiple metrics simultaneously reach statistical significance, reversal probability increases.

What It Measures

  • Volume Analytics — Is the volume at this pivot statistically elevated?
  • Bid-Ask Delta — Is buying or selling pressure abnormally one-sided?
  • Price Movement — Is the range at this pivot outside normal distributions?
  • Up vs. Down Ticks — Are tick imbalances statistically significant?
  • Transaction Velocity — Is the speed of trading unusually high or low?

Key Characteristics

Non-repainting architecture — historical signals remain fixed once formed, ensuring reliable backtesting and strategy validation. Each study outputs Z-score deviation values so you see exactly how far from normal any condition sits.
