Apex Liquidity & Trend Architect [Smart]

Trading charts often suffer from two problems: Noise (too many false signals in chopping markets) and Clutter (too many old lines and zones obscuring price).

ALTA [Smart] solves both. It is a streamlined, institutional-grade trend system that uses ADX filtering to silence weak signals and Time-Decay logic to automatically clean up old liquidity zones. It respects your screen real estate, showing you only what matters, right now.

1. The "Smart" Engine

Unlike standard trend indicators that repaint or clutter the screen, ALTA [Smart] introduces three key innovations:

A. Hull Moving Average (HMA) Baseline

We have upgraded the core engine to use the Hull Moving Average. HMA is significantly faster and smoother than standard EMAs or SMAs, reducing lag on entry signals.

Note: You can switch back to WMA or SMA in the settings if you prefer a slower pace.

B. ADX Momentum Filtering

Quality over Quantity: The script monitors the ADX (Average Directional Index). If the trend flips, but the ADX is below 20 (weak trend), the signal is blocked.

This prevents you from getting chopped out during sideways accumulation phases. You only get a "BUY" or "SELL" label when there is actual momentum behind the move.

C. Adaptive Gradient Coloring

The candles do not just turn Green or Red. They change intensity based on trend strength.

Bright/Vivid Candles: Strong Momentum (High ADX).

Dark/Dull Candles: Weak Momentum (Low ADX).

Visual Cue: If the candles are fading into the background, stay out of the market.

2. Self-Cleaning Liquidity Zones

Most support/resistance indicators leave old boxes on the chart forever. ALTA [Smart] uses a Decay Protocol.

Volume Validation: Supply/Demand zones are only drawn if the pivot point had volume significantly higher than average (configurable).

Mitigation: If price wicks through a zone, it is deleted instantly.

Time Decay (New): If a zone is not hit within a set number of bars (Default: 100), it automatically deletes itself. This keeps your chart focused on fresh levels only.

3. The Minimalist HUD

A simplified dashboard in the corner of your screen provides an instant health check of the market:

ALTA Label: System Status.

Trend: BULL / BEAR / WAIT (Squeeze).

Power: WEAK / SOLID / STRONG (Based on ADX).

4. How to Trade (The Strategy)

The High-Probability Buy

Trend: Ribbon is Green.

Candles: Candles are Bright Green (indicating High ADX Strength).

Signal: A "BUY" label appears (confirmed by ADX filter).

Liquidity: Price is bouncing off a valid Demand Zone.

The High-Probability Sell

Trend: Ribbon is Red.

Candles: Candles are Bright Red (indicating High ADX Strength).

Signal: A "SELL" label appears.

Liquidity: Price is rejecting off a valid Supply Zone.

When to STAY OUT

The Squeeze: If the ribbon turns Grey/White, volatility is compressing. Wait for the breakout.

The Fade: If the candles are dark/translucent, momentum is dying. Take profits or wait for a fresh impulse.

5. Settings & Customization

Basis Type: Switch between HMA (Fast), WMA (Standard), or SMA (Slow).

Signal Quality Filter: Toggle the ADX filter on/off.

Zone Life: How many bars should a Supply/Demand zone survive before decaying?

Tooltips: Every single setting in this script includes a descriptive tooltip. Hover over the "i" icon in the settings menu for detailed explanations of every feature.
