Imbalance Heatmap (Free) – pc75

hier

A clean, efficient visualisation of liquidity voids, 3-bar imbalances, and price inefficiency zones.
This indicator highlights where the market left gaps in the order flow — areas price often revisits to rebalance.

Imbalances are displayed as stacked horizontal “heatmap strips,” making it easy to see:

Where aggressive buying/selling left a void
Whether multiple voids overlap (stronger zones)
Whether price is likely to return to fill the imbalance
How old a void is (older zones are marked differently)

This is a refined v6 rewrite based on a script I liked, completely modernised with cleaner logic, better performance, and optional labels.

🔍 Features
3-bar liquidity void detection (ICT-style logic)
Bullish imbalance when price displaces upward with no wick overlap
Bearish imbalance for downward displacement

✔ Heatmap-style visualisation
Each imbalance is sliced into multiple thin horizontal bands to create a visual density effect.

✔ Stacking intelligence
If a new void overlaps previous ones, the heatmap is drawn brighter, showing areas where the market left multiple inefficiencies.

✔ “Void xN” labels
Optional labels show how many overlapping voids existed at the moment the imbalance formed.

✔ Automatic deletion when filled
As soon as price trades back through a slice, that slice is removed.
This keeps the chart clean and focuses only on active inefficiencies.

✔ Smart ageing
Older voids are marked with a subtle border so you can distinguish freshly formed inefficiencies from historical ones.

✔ Alerts
Set alerts for when price taps a stacked imbalance zone (“Void x2” and above).

⚙ Inputs & Customisation
ATR threshold (optional)
Minimum tick size gap
Number of heatmap slices
Bullish / bearish toggles
Label toggles
Colour and transparency configuration
Max slice memory for performance

💡 How to Use
Imbalance zones often behave as:
Magnets → price gravitates toward them
Support/resistance → structure respects inefficiencies
Continuity points → used with market structure shifts
Targets → for both scalpers and swing traders

Strong (stacked) voids typically represent areas of institutional displacement, where the market is more likely to return for rebalancing.
