Institutional Activity Index [AlgoAlpha]🌟 Introducing the Institutional Activity Index by AlgoAlpha 🌟
Welcome to a powerful new indicator designed to gauge institutional trading activity! This cutting-edge tool combines volume analysis with price movement to derive a unique index that shines a spotlight on potential institutional moves in the market. 🎯📈
Key Features:
🔍 Normalization Period : Adjust the look-back period for normalization to tailor the sensitivity to your trading strategy.
📊 Moving Average Types : Choose from SMA, HMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, or VWMA to smooth the index and pinpoint trends.
🌈 Color-Coded Trends : Instant visual feedback on index trend direction with customizable up and down colors.
🔔 Alerts : Set alerts for when the index shows increasing activity, decreasing activity, or has reached a peak.
Quick Guide to Using the Institutional Activity Index:
1. 📝 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites. Adjust the normalization period, MA type, and peak detection settings to match your trading style.
2. 📈 Market Analysis: Similar to volume that reflects the amount of collective trading activity, this index reflects an estimate of the amount of trading activity by institutions. A higher value means that institutions are trading the asset more, this can mean selling or buying as the indicator does not indicate direction . Look out for peak signals, which may indicate that institutions have already secured positions in preparation for a move in price.
3. 🔔 Set Alerts: Enable alerts to notify you when there is a significant change in the activity levels or a new peak is detected, allowing for timely decisions without constant monitoring.
How It Works: 🛠
It is common knowledge that institutions trade with high amounts of capital, but employ tactics so as to not move the price significantly when entering on positions. This can be done by entering in times of high liquidity so that when an institution buys, there are enough sellers to cancel out the price movements and prevent a huge pump in price and vice versa. The Institutional Activity Index calculates liquidity by measuring the volume relative to the price range (close-open). This value is smoothed using median and a user defined moving average type and period, enhancing its clarity. If normalization is enabled, the index is adjusted relative to its range over a user-defined period, making the data comparable across different conditions.

Institutional Strength & Flow (Expo)█ Overview
The Institutional Strength & Flow (Expo) Indicator is a tool that's designed to help traders identify institutional activity in the market. Institutional investors, such as hedge funds and investment banks, have a major impact on the market. By tracking their activity, traders can gain insights into the direction of the market and make more informed trading decisions.
█ How is Institutional Strength & Flow calculated?
Institutional strength and flow refer to the large trades made by institutional investors, such as pension funds, hedge funds, and mutual funds. These investors manage large amounts of money and can make significant trades that move the market. As a result, it is essential to understand and interpret the impact of these trades on the price of an asset.
To calculate institutional strength and flow, you would need access to information on the amount of money institutional investors have to invest in the market and the volume of their trades. Unfortunately, this information is not readily available to retail traders.
There are, however, some proxies for institutional strength and flow that can be used to approximate these values by looking at other factors correlated with institutional activity. Three factors are:
The average trading volume over a given period.
The strength of the price changes.
The given volatility.
This indicator uses these approximate values to calculate the institutional strength and flow.
█ How to use
Market trends
One of the key benefits of the indicator is that it can help traders identify market trends. By tracking institutional activity, we can get a sense of which way the market is headed.
Market sentiment
Institutional strength and flow can also provide insight into market sentiment. Positive institutional flow indicates that institutional investors are buying a particular market or security. This could be a sign of bullish sentiment and may indicate that prices are likely to rise. Negative institutional flow indicates that institutional investors are selling a particular market or security. This could be a sign of bearish sentiment and may indicate that prices are likely to fall.
Divergences
Another way to use the indicator is to look for divergences between the indicator and the price of a particular stock or market. For example, if the price of a stock is trending upwards, but the indicator is trending downwards, this could be an indication that the market is weakening and a good time to sell. Conversely, if the price of a stock is trending downwards, but the indicator is trending upwards, this could be a sign that the market is strengthening and a good time to buy.
Overbought and Oversold
Use the divergences to look for overbought or oversold conditions. If the indicator is above its scaling factor of 1, this could indicate that the market is overbought and due for a correction. Conversely, if the indicator is below 0, this could indicate that the market is oversold and due for a rebound.

Order Blocks Finder By DrewAn Order Block is a technical analysis technique that tracks the accumulation of orders (when bullish) and distribution of orders (when bearish) of banks and institutional traders. In other words, it is an area or an indication of where big institutions would pile up their orders to enter the market – their order blocks.
If you know how order blocks works and know how to trade via order blocks, then this indicator will help you in finding order blocks by itself which you don't need to worry about finding any.
For settings, I personally use Box Length as 10 and Box Transparency 80. Hope this helps! Feel free to drop a comment for any questions :)
Would appreciate you all if you can LIKE and FAVOURITE this indicator.
