Elaris Market Energy [Professional]Elaris Market Energy
Overview
Elaris Market Energy is a multi-factor oscillator designed to evaluate the strength, direction, participation, and sustainability of market movement.
Rather than relying on a single momentum calculation, the indicator combines several independent market characteristics into one normalized energy score. The goal is to help traders distinguish between weak price movement, developing participation, strong directional expansion, compression, and potential exhaustion.
The Market Energy score is displayed in a separate oscillator panel and generally ranges from -100 to +100.
* Positive values represent bullish market energy.
* Negative values represent bearish market energy.
* Values near zero represent neutral conditions, weak participation, or market compression.
This indicator is intended to support market analysis and confirmation. It is not presented as a complete trading system and does not guarantee future price movement.

Core Market Energy Model
The final Market Energy score is calculated from six configurable components.
Price Impulse
Measures directional price displacement relative to current market volatility.
This helps distinguish meaningful movement from ordinary price fluctuations.
Candle Conviction
Evaluates the structure of the current candle using:
* Candle body size
* Closing position inside the candle range
* Upper and lower wick balance
* Bullish or bearish candle direction
A strong directional candle generally contributes more energy than an indecisive candle.
Volume Participation
Compares current volume with its recent average and evaluates whether market participation supports the current directional move.
On symbols where volume data is unavailable or limited, the volume component may provide less information.
Range Expansion
Measures whether the current true range is expanding relative to recent market activity.
Range expansion can help identify periods where volatility and directional participation are increasing together.
Trend Alignment
Evaluates:
* Price position relative to an internal trend average
* Direction and slope of the trend average
* Alignment between current movement and broader market direction
This component helps reduce the influence of momentum that is moving against the prevailing trend structure.
Momentum Efficiency
Combines directional momentum with movement efficiency.
Movement efficiency compares the net price displacement with the total distance traveled. Cleaner directional movement generally produces a stronger reading than unstable or highly overlapping price action.
---
Directional Movement Confirmation
The indicator also uses Directional Movement Index information.
The relationship between positive and negative directional movement helps confirm whether bullish or bearish pressure is dominant.
ADX is used as a supporting measurement of trend strength. It does not independently determine the Market Energy score and is applied as a controlled confirmation component.
---
Market Regimes
The indicator classifies market conditions into several practical regimes.
Compression
Market Energy remains close to zero, suggesting limited directional participation or reduced momentum.
Compression can occur during consolidation, low volatility, or periods of market indecision.
Bullish or Bearish Energy
Directional participation is developing, but the movement has not yet reached the strong-energy threshold.
Strong Bullish or Bearish Energy
Multiple components are aligned and directional participation has increased.
These conditions may support continuation analysis when confirmed by price structure.
Extreme Energy
The oscillator has reached an unusually strong directional reading.
Extreme energy can represent:
* Strong continuation
* Rapid volatility expansion
* Late-stage momentum
* A condition that may eventually transition into exhaustion
An extreme reading should not automatically be interpreted as a reversal signal.
Fading Energy
Directional energy remains elevated but is beginning to weaken.
Fading energy may indicate reduced participation, consolidation, or potential exhaustion. Price confirmation remains important.

Signal Types
Bullish Energy Entry
A bullish signal may appear when:
* Market Energy crosses above the selected entry threshold
* Energy is above its signal line
* Energy acceleration is positive
* Enabled trend and directional filters are satisfied
* Optional volume and candle-quality filters are satisfied
Bearish Energy Entry
A bearish signal uses the opposite conditions:
* Market Energy crosses below the negative entry threshold
* Energy is below its signal line
* Energy acceleration is negative
* Enabled bearish filters are satisfied
Compression Release
Compression-release markers identify a transition from low-energy conditions into directional expansion.
These signals are intended to highlight developing volatility and participation after a compressed market phase.
Energy Exhaustion
Exhaustion markers identify situations where:
* Energy recently reached an extreme level
* The energy score begins to decline
* Energy acceleration turns against the previous direction
* Price begins showing an opposing reaction
Exhaustion markers are warnings of weakening momentum. They do not confirm a complete trend reversal on their own.

Visual Elements
Energy Histogram
The histogram displays both direction and intensity.
* Bullish columns represent positive energy.
* Bearish columns represent negative energy.
* Stronger opacity represents increasing directional intensity.
* Faded columns indicate weakening energy.
Energy Line
The main line shows the smoothed composite Market Energy score.
Signal Line
The signal line provides a slower reference for identifying changes in short-term energy direction.
Energy Cloud
The cloud between the Energy line and Signal line provides a quick visual representation of bullish or bearish energy alignment.
Regime Background
Optional background shading highlights:
* Strong bullish conditions
* Strong bearish conditions
* Market compression
Dashboard
The optional dashboard summarizes:
* Current Market Energy score
* Current market regime
* Energy acceleration
* Relative volume
* ADX
* Price impulse
* Candle conviction
* Volume pressure
* Range expansion
* Trend alignment
* Momentum efficiency
* Signal confirmation mode
The dashboard is intended to provide a quick overview without requiring the trader to interpret each internal calculation separately.

Calculation Profiles
Fast
Uses shorter internal calculation lengths.
This profile reacts more quickly but may also produce more frequent changes and additional noise.
It may be suitable for lower-timeframe analysis when combined with strict filters.
Balanced
Provides a middle ground between responsiveness and stability.
This is the default profile and is suitable as a general starting point.
Conservative
Uses longer calculation lengths.
This profile produces slower and generally more stable readings, which may be useful on higher timeframes or when fewer signals are preferred.
---
Suggested Usage
The indicator can be used for several types of market analysis.
Trend Confirmation
Bullish price structure combined with positive and increasing Market Energy may support bullish continuation analysis.
Bearish price structure combined with negative and decreasing Market Energy may support bearish continuation analysis.
Breakout Confirmation
A breakout accompanied by:
* Range expansion
* Increased relative volume
* Strong impulse
* Rising Market Energy
may have greater participation than a breakout occurring during weak or compressed energy.
Pullback Analysis
During a broader trend, temporary energy weakness followed by renewed directional acceleration may help identify continuation conditions.
Compression Monitoring
Low absolute Market Energy can help identify markets that are consolidating or losing directional participation.
A later compression release may highlight the start of renewed expansion.
Exhaustion Monitoring
Extreme energy followed by weakening acceleration may help traders identify when a mature move is losing participation.
This should be combined with price structure, support and resistance, liquidity levels, or other confirmation methods.

Recommended Starting Settings
For lower timeframes, traders may consider:
* Fast or Balanced profile
* Higher entry threshold
* Volume filter enabled
* Candle-quality filter enabled
* Candle-close confirmation enabled
For medium timeframes, the Balanced profile and default settings provide a practical starting point.
For higher timeframes, the Conservative profile may provide smoother regime identification and fewer short-term fluctuations.
Settings should be adjusted based on the symbol, timeframe, liquidity, and trading approach.

Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for:
* Bullish Energy Entry
* Bearish Energy Entry
* Bullish Compression Release
* Bearish Compression Release
* Bullish Energy Exhaustion
* Bearish Energy Exhaustion
* Strong Bullish Regime
* Strong Bearish Regime
* Energy Compression
For stable alerts, enabling candle-close confirmation and selecting “Once Per Bar Close” when creating the PulseWire alert is recommended.
---
Repainting Information
Elaris Market Energy does not use future data, lookahead logic, or future-confirmed pivot calculations.
The indicator does not repaint historical closed-bar signals when candle-close confirmation is enabled.
The live Market Energy value may change while the current candle is still forming because price, volume, candle range, and volatility are still changing.
When “Confirm Signals On Candle Close” is enabled, signals are only confirmed after the candle closes.
When this setting is disabled, signals may appear during an open candle and may disappear before that candle closes.

Important Notes
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be interpreted as financial advice.
Market Energy measures current and historical market conditions. It does not predict future results with certainty.
Signal performance can vary significantly across:
* Symbols
* Asset classes
* Timeframes
* Volatility conditions
* Liquidity environments
* Trending and ranging markets
Traders should use appropriate risk management and independently evaluate all trading decisions.
