Price Delivery Bias (PDB) Indicator @ MaxMaserati
The Price Delivery Bias (PDB) indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify and track market structure shifts through price action analysis. It helps traders identify potential trend changes and continuation patterns by monitoring price delivery sequences.
Key Features:
- Automatically detects and labels Change of Delivery Long (CDL) and Change of Delivery Short (CDS) points
- Tracks subsequent Delivery sequences (LD1, LD2, LD3... for longs; SD1, SD2, SD3... for shorts)
- Dynamic support and resistance lines for active buyers and sellers
- Real-time bias status display with delivery count
- Customizable colors and display options
How It Works:
The indicator analyzes price action using fractal patterns to identify significant structural points where the market bias changes or continues. When price breaks above a key level, it marks a CDL (Change of Delivery Long), followed by subsequent long deliveries (LD1, LD2, etc.). Similarly, breaks below key levels are marked as CDS (Change of Delivery Short), followed by short deliveries (SD1, SD2, etc.).
Use Cases:
- Trend Direction: Identify potential trend changes through CDL and CDS signals
- Trend Strength: Monitor delivery sequences (LD/SD count) to gauge trend strength
- Support/Resistance: Track active buyer and seller levels
- Trade Management: Use delivery sequences for managing entries, stops, and targets
Customization Options:
- Adjust the look back period for structure detection
- Customize colors for long and short bias signals
- Toggle label visibility for CDL/CDS and delivery sequences
- Modify text size for better visibility
- Show/hide buyer and seller lines
- Customize table position and appearance
Settings Guide:
1. Length: Determines the look back period for structure detection (default: 5)
2. CDL/CDS Colors: Set colors for bullish and bearish signals
3. Label Controls: Toggle visibility of CDL/CDS and delivery labels
4. Text Size: Choose between Tiny, Small, and Normal for label text
5. Buyer/Seller Lines: Toggle and customize dashed lines showing active levels
6. Bias Table: Configure position and visibility of the status table
#### Pro Tips:
- Use the delivery count to gauge trend strength - higher counts often indicate stronger trends
- Watch for bias changes (CDL/CDS) after extended delivery sequences
- Combine with volume and momentum indicators for confirmation
- Use buyer/seller lines as dynamic support/resistance levels
- Monitor label sequences for potential exhaustion points
#### Notes:
- The indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H and above)
- Signals are more reliable in trending markets
- Multiple delivery sequences often indicate strong trend continuations
- Consider using with other indicators for confirmation
This indicator is ideal for both trend traders and swing traders who want to understand market structure and bias through price action analysis. It provides clear visual cues for potential trend changes and continuation patterns while offering extensive customization options to suit different trading styles.
