1. Beyond Basic Candles 🕯️→🚀
Vector Candles upgrade traditional candlesticks by adding volume + spread analysis to spot institutional activity ("smart money"). Unlike normal candles (just price), they reveal why price moved—exposing manipulation, liquidity zones, and imbalances.
🔹 Key Insight: High volume + wide spread = institutional footprints.
2. What Makes a Vector Candle? 📊
A candle becomes a "Vector Candle" if:
Volume ≥ 200% of past 10-candle avg.
Spread × Volume is highest in last 10 candles.
Volume Density (sigmoid-normalized) signals unusual activity.
🔹 Why It Matters:
Spots market maker moves (fakeouts, traps).
Flags liquidation events (stop hunts).
Often appears at key support/resistance.
3. Best Timeframe: 1-Hour Chart ⏳
✅ Balances signal clarity + noise reduction
❌ 5M/15M = too noisy | ❌ Daily = too slow
🔹 Why? Institutional moves are clearer here.
4. Price Revisits Vector Candles 🔄
After a Vector Candle forms, price often returns due to:
Unrecovered liquidity (unfilled orders).
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) → price "magnet".
Market makers rebalancing their positions.
🔹 Trading Tip: Use retests for entries/exits!
5. Conclusion: Trade Like a Pro 🎯
Vector Candles help you:
✔ Track smart money (not just price).
✔ Predict reversals/breakouts early.
✔ Avoid traps (fakeouts, stop hunts).
🚀 Pro Tip: Combine with 1H charts + liquidity zones!
🔍 Key Takeaway: If you see a Vector Candle—watch for a retest!
