Rotation Factor for TPO and OHLC (Classic)

How it works

The Rotation Factor objectively assesses market direction by tracking auction rotations within a specific period. For each bar, the indicator compares the current bar's highs and lows to the previous bar, assigning incremental values of +1, -1, or 0 based on relative positioning.

As the period progresses, these values are accumulated to create a cumulative score that represents market sentiment. Positive values indicate buyer control and potential bullish movement, while negative values suggest seller dominance and potential bearish momentum.

Why it may be useful

The Rotation Factor provides traders with an objective method to gauge market sentiment and potential directional bias. By quantifying the relative strength of buyers and sellers, traders can gain insights into market dynamics that might not be immediately apparent from price action alone.

This indicator helps traders understand underlying market psychology, offering a systematic approach to evaluating market movement beyond traditional price charts. It can serve as a complementary tool for making more informed trading decisions across different timeframes.

When to explore it

The Rotation Factor is most effective when used with daily or intraday charts, particularly in markets with clear trending characteristics. It works best in liquid markets where price movements reflect genuine supply and demand dynamics, such as major stock indices, forex pairs, and actively traded commodities.

Traders should combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and validate potential market direction. It is particularly useful during periods of market transition or when seeking to understand subtle shifts in market sentiment.
