Scalp Pump-Dump Detector with Alerts

How it works

The script calculates the percentage change for each candle on a trading chart, tracking the magnitude of price movements across different timeframes. It establishes a default threshold of 1% movement per bar to identify abnormal price fluctuations, which can signal potential trading opportunities or market volatility.

When an abnormal movement is detected, the script can generate visual or alert signals to notify traders. Additionally, the script displays volume information specifically for these abnormal candlesticks, providing traders with supplementary context about the strength and potential significance of the price movement.

Why it may be useful

Tracking percentage movements helps traders understand market dynamics and identify potential trend changes or significant price shifts that might otherwise go unnoticed. By highlighting abnormal movements, traders can quickly recognize moments of increased market volatility and potential trading opportunities.

The volume display on abnormal candlesticks adds an extra layer of analysis, allowing traders to confirm the significance of price movements. This comprehensive approach enables more informed decision-making by providing a holistic view of price action and trading volume.

When to explore it

This script is most effective in markets with moderate to high volatility, where price movements can be rapid and significant. It is particularly useful for active traders who need real-time insights into market behavior and want to quickly identify potential entry or exit points.

Traders can customize the movement threshold to suit different assets and trading styles, making it adaptable to various market conditions. It is especially valuable during news events, earnings releases, or periods of economic uncertainty when price movements can be more dramatic.
