Market Entropy is a dual-component indicator combining an oscillator and an optional on-chart overlay designed to quantify market structure and identify regime shifts among Order, Transition, and Chaos phases. It uses OHLCV data inputs—Directional Consistency (DC), FlipRate (sign flips), normalized volatility (ATR ratios), and volume turbulence (standard deviation of volume changes)—to compute a raw entropy value. This value is adjusted for volatility compressions and smoothed with an EMA, producing a final entropy measure scaled between 0 and 1.

The indicator features a secondary Trendness line (DC) to distinguish true trends from volatility squeezes. It provides visual markers: CRYSTAL signals when entropy crosses below a low threshold indicating emerging order (trend or pre-break squeeze), and DISSOLVE signals when entropy crosses above a high threshold indicating breakdown into chaos or trend decay.

Displayed in a separate panel, users see Entropy, its EMA, Trendness, threshold levels, and background zones. On-chart elements include state-colored bars, a ribbon above price highs, and CRYSTAL/DISSOLVE markers, which can be toggled on or off.

Interpretation guidelines classify low entropy with high DC as organized trends, low entropy with low ATR as squeezes anticipating breaks, mid-range entropy as transition phases, and high entropy as chaotic conditions where trend continuation is uncertain. Typical use cases include trading breakouts after squeezes and managing risk by scaling out during trend dissolutions.
