Structural read

Read control as it shifts.

This view highlights when momentum is actually changing hands instead of just reacting to noisy candles. Use it to spot genuine pauses, identify indecision before expansion, and see whether buyers or sellers are building pressure while price appears stuck.

Shows true trend change versus shallow pullback noise.
Helps expose pauses, hesitation, and transitional orderflow.
Lets you see which side is loading during accumulation before the next move.
Built to be customized around your own execution style, not forced into one display.

Customizable by design.

Run the full display, isolate the oscillator, keep the candle-by-candle histogram, or strip it down depending on what you want emphasized. The entire point is adaptability without losing the quality of the read.

Oscillator mode

A smoother visual read for spotting trend pressure, divergence in control, and moments where the market begins leaning one way before price fully accepts it.

Standalone histogram and oscillator view for deeper dominance analysis

Histogram + oscillator

Use the candle-by-candle histogram when you want immediate bar-by-bar confirmation, then pair it with the oscillator to better understand whether those bursts are building into a broader shift or just short-term noise.

Trend change.

Quickly separate a real transition in control from a weak counter-move. This helps you avoid treating every pause as a reversal and every reversal as continuation.

Indecision.

Some of the best opportunities appear when price looks stagnant but one side is slowly gaining command. Dominance helps reveal that hidden loading process.

Customization.

Keep the display as minimal or information-rich as you want. Remove the oscillator, remove the histogram, or combine both depending on your workflow and chart space.
