DESCRIPTION StrixEDGE Smart Flow Imbalance is Engine #06 in the StrixEDGE indicator framework. It is a flow-focused market-state tool designed to identify changes in directional quality, liquidity behavior, volatility structure and confirmation strength without relying on a single conventional oscillator.

WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS DESIGNED TO DO Blends persistent flow, displacement and range structure into a directional participation score.

Rather than treating one input as a complete signal, StrixEDGE combines the engine's dedicated core logic with an optional DNA layer. The final result is normalized into a 0–100 Strix Score so the same framework can be read consistently across different symbols and timeframes.

HOW TO READ THE STRIX SCORE • Above 72: bullish state / long-side trigger zone. • Below 28: bearish state / short-side trigger zone. • Around 50: balanced or neutral state. • A signal is generated on a transition into a trigger zone, not on every bar that remains inside it.

SIGNAL & POSITION FRAMEWORK When a valid state transition is detected, the overlay version can create a structured trade plan containing: • Entry • DCA level • TP1 • TP2 • TP3 • Stop Loss

Each projected level includes its percentage distance from Entry. When a level is reached, the same chart label is updated with a ✓ marker. TP and SL outcome tracking is mutually controlled so the dashboard does not report contradictory terminal results for the same setup.

PROFESSIONAL DASHBOARD The built-in StrixEDGE dashboard summarizes the active market state in a compact TradingView table, including: • Engine and category • Strix Score and directional bias • Signal / market regime • Flow pressure and trend quality • Relative volume and ATR volatility • Structure / VWAP context • Active position and signal age • Entry, DCA, TP1, TP2, TP3 and SL • Hit status for each projected level

COMBINATION PROFILE • CORE BALANCE • Active DNA modules: 3 • Lookback: 24 • Smoothing: 5 • Signal threshold: 72

ENGINE DNA • Displacement Efficiency — Directional body displacement normalized by ATR and relative volume. • Range Structure Balance — Maps close location inside rolling high/low structure to a signed state. • Normalized Flow Acceleration — Smooths ATR-normalized return × relative volume to estimate directional flow.

MARKET / STYLE PROFILE • Market focus: Crypto • Intended style: Swing • Core engine: #06 Smart Flow Imbalance • Category: Flow

NON-REPAINT / DATA HANDLING By default, signals require a confirmed chart-bar close. This reduces intrabar signal fluctuation and makes historical signal placement more stable.

ALERTS The generated script includes alert conditions for: • Long state shift • Short state shift • DCA reached • TP1 reached • TP2 reached • TP3 reached • Stop Loss reached

HOW I USE IT StrixEDGE is designed as a market-state and trade-structure tool rather than a standalone prediction system. Stronger setups generally occur when the Strix Score, market regime, flow pressure, structure and volatility context agree instead of relying on the trigger alone.

LIMITATIONS No indicator can predict future price movement with certainty. Signals can fail during sudden news events, illiquid conditions, gaps, abnormal volatility, regime transitions or unreliable volume. DCA, TP and SL levels are systematic projections derived from the active setup and should not be interpreted as guaranteed outcomes.

Users should validate the indicator on the symbol, exchange and timeframe they trade, and should apply independent position sizing and risk management. Historical behavior does not guarantee future performance.

ORIGINALITY StrixEDGE Engine #06 is built from generic price, volume, volatility, structure and confirmed-context primitives arranged in a dedicated engine formula and optional DNA layer. It is not intended to reproduce or rename a specific community indicator.
