Delta Tail Signal
A close-confirmed footprint signal that flags micro-absorption reversals: a tiny pocket of opposite pressure at the extreme with a clean one-sided body behind it.
Real capture with Delta Tail Signal running. Hover to inspect.
Absorption at the edge is easy to miss.
Aggressive buyers and sellers constantly hit into the far edge of a bar, get absorbed, and price snaps the other way. On a raw footprint that shows up as a thin sliver of opposite pressure right at the high or low, in front of an otherwise one-sided bar.
It is easy to miss when you are reading clusters bar by bar, and even easier to second-guess. Delta Tail Signal watches every closed bar for you and marks exactly the ones that fit.
Built to do one job well.
React in the moment
A subtle footprint pattern becomes a clear on-chart marker, so you are not scrubbing back through clusters.
Close-confirmed
It never draws the still-forming bar, so a printed signal stays put and will not flip on you mid-bar.
Tunable strictness
You decide how strict the absorption definition is for your instrument and bar size.
Direction at a glance
Long signals print below the low, shorts above the high, each in its own color.
Strict rules, no guesswork.
On each closed bar the indicator examines the pressure at the bar’s extreme and the body behind it. A signal only prints when the extreme shows a small pocket of opposite pressure while the rest of the bar is cleanly one-sided.
Doji bars and bars without footprint data are skipped. Signals are evaluated on confirmed, closed bars only.
The detection logic itself is our work: refined on live tape, and the reason the tool is worth paying for. Sensitivity, filters, colors and display are all yours to tune.
When it helps, and when it won’t.
