📌 Indicator Name

HTF Accumulation–Distribution Zones (Analysis)

This indicator highlights potential accumulation and distribution contexts on the price chart using a combination of volume behavior, volatility (ATR), momentum, and VWAP positioning.The script is designed to help traders understand market participation and positioning, especially on higher intraday and swing timeframes, where institutional activity tends to leave clearer footprints.

🔍 What the indicator shows

ACC (Accumulation) : Marks areas where controlled buying activity may be present, identified through:

Strong candle structure relative to volatility
Healthy or controlled volume participation
Improving momentum within defined ranges

DIST (Distribution) : Marks areas where selling pressure may be emerging, identified through:

Price stretching away from VWAP
Weakening momentum
Strong bearish candle structure

These labels represent contextual zones, not trade signals.

🧠 How to use it

Use ACC and DIST labels as market context, not as direct buy or sell instructions.

Best used as a confirmation layer alongside:

Trend filters (EMA, VWAP, structure)
Support & resistance
Breakout or pullback strategies

Works well on 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and higher timeframes

Suitable for indices, futures, and liquid stocks
