MACRO_ZERO VOLUME IMBALANCE STRIP is a multi-timeframe volume imbalance visualization tool designed for cTrader. It displays three vertical strips side-by-side on the chart, each representing volume imbalance zones—also known as fair value gaps—detected on Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes. These strips share a common global high and low, highlighting the full range of imbalances across all timeframes. Two red horizontal lines mark the absolute highest and lowest imbalance levels, serving as key macro reference points.
Volume imbalance zones indicate price areas where market moves occurred with limited two-sided participation, often acting as magnets where price tends to revisit. This tool helps identify high-probability areas for support and resistance reactions, precision entries on pullbacks, profit targets on continuation moves, and confluence zones when imbalances align across multiple timeframes.
The three-strip panel is positioned to the right of the last bar with configurable offset and clear borders separating each timeframe. The background spans the full global imbalance range, with imbalance boxes drawn at exact price levels within each strip. This visualization aids traders in quickly assessing macro-level volume imbalances without manual analysis.
