Correlated Imbalance Detector

# Correlated Imbalance Detector

This indicator helps traders identify strong market movements while avoiding fakeouts by detecting correlated imbalances across two trading instruments. By requiring confirmation from correlated markets like major indices (ES, NQ) or related forex pairs, it filters out potential false signals.

## What it Does

The indicator analyzes price action patterns known as 'imbalances' on two correlated instruments simultaneously. An imbalance occurs when there's a significant gap between price levels that hasn't been filled, indicating strong buying or selling pressure. By requiring both instruments to show the same pattern, it helps eliminate false breakouts and fakeouts.

### Key Features:
- Detects bullish and bearish imbalances across two correlated instruments
- Filters out fakeouts through correlation confirmation
- Uses candlestick direction for additional validation
- Simple visual signals with customizable colors

### Signals:
- Green square: Bullish imbalance detected on both instruments
- Red square: Bearish imbalance detected on both instruments

## Avoiding Fakeouts

The indicator's core strength lies in its correlation requirement:
- A signal only appears when both instruments show the same pattern
- Reduces false signals that might appear on a single instrument
- Helps validate genuine market moves through correlation
- Particularly effective in filtering out noise in choppy markets

## Index Correlation and Bias

Major indices often show strong correlation in their movements:
- ES (S&P 500 futures) and NQ (Nasdaq futures) typically move together
- When both show the same imbalance pattern, it significantly reduces the chance of a fakeout
- Use this correlation to confirm your market bias and strengthen your trading decisions

## Settings

- Correlated Symbol: Enter the symbol you want to correlate with
- Bearish Color: Customize the color for bearish signals
- Bullish Color: Customize the color for bullish signals

## Usage Tips

1. Particularly effective with correlated indices (ES/NQ)
2. Use to confirm your existing market bias
3. Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above)
4. Wait for confirmation from both instruments to avoid fakeouts
5. Consider overall market context when interpreting signals
6. Use the absence of correlation as a warning sign for potential fakeouts

Note: This indicator is designed to help filter out false signals through correlation. It works best as part of your broader market analysis and should align with your trading bias and strategy.
