Yes: add Absorption. It is a free official indicator that flags candles where heavy one-sided volume failed to move price. That is the classic sign that someone took the other side quietly.
- Click Indicators in the top bar, or press
/. - Search for "absorption" and click Add on Absorption, the row marked Official.
It draws each candle's delta (buy volume minus sell volume) as a histogram in its own pane and lights the candles that qualify. On the price chart, a dot and a box mark each flagged candle. Absorption also works on CME futures charts.
What counts as absorption
A candle qualifies when both of these are true:
- Its delta is at least Delta spike multiple times the average absolute delta of the last Delta window in bars candles (2 times over 48 candles by default).
- Its range from high to low stays under Max range in ATRs times the ATR (0.8 by default), with the ATR taken over ATR length in bars candles (14 by default).
Raise the multiple for fewer, stronger signals, or lower it to see more. To read absorption by hand on the footprint, see the footprint playbook.
