Jake Orderflow Profile — Imbalance & Zone Tracking

Jake Orderflow Profile displays a detailed, chart-anchored price ladder with estimated buy/sell volume, imbalance highlighting, and zone-entry tracking.

Each row follows its price level as you scroll or zoom. Switching timeframes recalculates the profile using the selected chart’s candles.

FEATURES

• Up to 30 individual price rows in one indicator.
• Estimated buy and sell volume displayed at each level.
• Relative volume bars for each side.
• Aqua BUY IMB, red SELL IMB, and white neutral rows.
• Detection of three or more consecutive imbalance bins.
• Signal outputs for stacked imbalance, zone entry, and exit back out.
• Adjustable lookback, resolution, horizontal offset, font size, colors, and imbalance threshold.

HOW IT WORKS

The indicator divides the recent high-to-low price range into equal price bins.

Bullish candles contribute their volume to the buy side; bearish candles contribute to the sell side. Doji candles contribute to neither side. A candle’s full volume is assigned to every price bin its range overlaps.

At the default 75% threshold, a bin receives a BUY IMB or SELL IMB label when that side accounts for at least 75% of its combined assigned volume.

Three or more adjacent imbalance bins on the same side produce a stacked-imbalance condition.

ZONE TRACKING

When a stacked-imbalance condition first appears, the indicator saves a qualifying zone and tracks it for the configured number of bars.

ENTERED identifies a subsequent candle that overlaps the saved zone.

EXIT BACK OUT requires the entire candle to move above a previously touched BUY zone, or below a previously touched SELL zone. A close outside the zone alone is insufficient.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

• Lookback: 12 previous candles plus the current candle.
• Profile resolution: 30 rows.
• Horizontal offset: 4 chart bars.
• Volume bar width: 8 characters.
• Imbalance threshold: 0.75.
• Alert only on bar close: enabled.
• Imbalance hold tracking: enabled.
• Hold-tracking window: 6 bars.

READING THE DISPLAY

Colors identify imbalance conditions. Buy and sell bar lengths are normalized separately, so compare the displayed numbers and imbalance labels rather than bar lengths alone.

Rows remain anchored to chart prices, while font size stays fixed in screen pixels. Increase vertical chart spacing or reduce the font size if rows overlap.

METHODOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS

This is a candle-direction volume approximation, not exchange bid/ask footprint data. Volume is repeated across overlapping bins, so summing the rows does not represent total traded volume.

The live profile can change while a candle forms. The close-only setting gates signal outputs; it does not freeze the display. Results depend on the instrument, timeframe, and available volume data.

This indicator provides analytical context, not guaranteed trade entries or outcomes.
