What does the Delta Candles indicator measure?
Measures the balance of aggressiveness within each individual candle. It allows you to see at a glance if a bullish candle was driven by actual aggressive buying or if it was simply a low volume move that could easily be reversed.
How to use it for Institutional Trading
- Absorption Candles: Identifies candles where the Delta is opposite to the price close (for example, a candle that closes bullish but has negative Delta), signaling a possible trap or absorption.
- Exhaustion at Extremes: Look for candles with very low Delta at highs or lows of the day, which suggests that aggressive participants have stopped pushing.
- Institutional Initiative: Candles with a large body and a very high Delta confirm a strong institutional initiative to break key levels.
Why is it superior to other indicators?
Unlike other Delta indicators that are displayed in a lower panel, S4T Delta Candles are integrated directly into the price chart. This allows for a much faster and more natural reading of price action combined with order flow, reducing eye strain for the trader.
