Indicators

The 15 order-flow, volume and price-action indicators added to Spectra's library — what each does, where it works, and how to configure it.


Open the indicator library with the f key or Chart → Indicators, search or browse by tab (Trend / Oscillators / Volume / Volatility / Profiles), and click Add. Every indicator's settings, colours and pane placement are saved to your workspace automatically and sync across devices.

This page covers the 15 indicators in the 2026 order-flow & price-action expansion. They join the existing ~60-strong library (moving averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, VWAP, SuperTrend, Ichimoku, CVD, footprint imbalance, and more).

What runs on which feed

Most indicators are pure price/volume and run on every market — crypto, stocks, forex, indices, commodities, CFDs, Hyperliquid and Kraken. The order-flow indicators need per-trade buy/sell (aggressor) data, which only crypto feeds deliver, and the footprint ones additionally need a footprint chart (the client footprint plane must be active).

Trend & volatility

Standard Deviation — the rolling standard deviation of price over a chosen window (default 14). High readings signal volatility expansion; low readings mark quiet, mean-reverting conditions.

Regression Line — the endpoint of a least-squares fit over the last N bars (a low-lag LSMA, default length 21). Tracks price like a fast moving average and doubles as dynamic support/resistance.

SuperTrend Delta — the signed distance between price and the SuperTrend line, drawn as a zero-centred histogram (green above the line, red below). Built on ATR (length 10, factor 3 by default); the magnitude shows how far price has stretched from the trailing stop.

Cycle Oscillator — John Ehlers' Inverse Cyber Cycle, plotted as two bounded lines (fast A / slow B) that oscillate around zero. Crossovers and ±0.5 extremes flag cyclical turning points.

ZigZag + Fibonacci — the ZigZag swing filter, now with an optional Fibonacci retracement (38.2 / 50 / 61.8 / 75 %) projected across the most recent completed swing. Toggle Fib retracement in its settings.

Price action

Initial Balance — the high, low and midpoint of the first N minutes (default 60) of each session, projected across the day, plus optional ±50 % and ±100 % range extensions.

Overlay Candles — a second candle series re-aggregated from the base chart and drawn over it. Choose Minutes (a higher-timeframe overlay), Volume bars, or Range bars from the Bar type dropdown.

Key Levels — the prior Daily / Weekly / Monthly High, Low, Open, Mid, VWAP and POC, drawn as labelled reference rails ("yesterday's high", "last week's VWAP", …). Toggle each period and set how many to keep on screen.

Volume

Rolling POC — the volume Point of Control over a trailing window of the last N bars (or minutes), walking as the window rolls, with three percentage envelope bands above and below it.

Order flow (crypto)

Tape Speed — a per-bar column sized by total aggressive volume and coloured by net delta (green = buyers, red = sellers). Below-average columns fade so activity spikes pop.

On-Candle Stats — prints each candle's total volume and net delta directly on the bar. Shows only when candles are wide enough to read.

Swing Volume — the ZigZag swing structure annotated with each leg's total volume and net delta, so you can see whether a move was backed by real aggressive volume and which side drove it.

Order flow (crypto footprint charts)

These read the client footprint plane, so switch the chart to Footprint (chart type 3) on a crypto symbol first.

Absorption Highlight — full-height bands where the extreme tick absorbed a large volume ratio without price moving: Ask absorption on tops (buyer exhaustion), Bid absorption on bottoms (seller exhaustion).

Stop Run Detector — rings and a "Stop Run" caption on bars that clear all eight order-flow thresholds at once — delta %, volume, volume increase, body ticks, price ticks, horizontal delta, imbalance % and stacked-imbalance count — flagging likely stop hunts. Every threshold is adjustable in its settings (defaults: 25 % / 1500 / 500 / 6 / 1 / 60 / 200 % / 2).

Unfinished Auctions — marks "bad highs" and "bad lows" where the extreme tick traded on the wrong side (the auction didn't finish with a single print), highlighting levels price tends to revisit.
