DSMS - DeltaSurge Matrix Station - 1M Scalping [SurgeGuru]DSMS - DeltaSurge Matrix Station
HOW TO READ THE CHART
=====================================
This guide explains every visual element you see on the chart.
DSMS is a volume profile + order flow indicator built for 1-minute Bitcoin scalping.
It shows WHERE institutional money is sitting and WHERE price is likely to react next.
=====================================
1. THE VOLUME PROFILE (left side of chart)
=====================================
The colored horizontal bars extending left from the candles are the volume profile.
Each bar represents a price level (called a "bin") and shows how much volume traded there.
LONGER BAR = more volume at that price.
BAR COLOR tells you who is in control:
- Green/teal bar = buyers dominated that level (bullish delta)
- Red/orange bar = sellers dominated that level (bearish delta)
- The more intense the color, the stronger the imbalance
SPLIT BARS (bull/bear breakdown):
If enabled, each bar splits into two halves showing exact buy vs sell volume.
Top half = sell volume, bottom half = buy volume.
HEATMAP (wide faded bars behind the profile):
The large transparent boxes behind the profile bars are the heatmap.
They show the same delta information but stretched wider for quick visual scanning.
Bright = high conviction. Faded = low conviction.
=====================================
2. KEY PRICE LEVELS ON THE PROFILE
=====================================
POC (Point of Control):
The bin outlined with a bright border is the POC -- the single price level
with the MOST volume. Price tends to gravitate back to the POC.
A small label shows the POC price and context like "EQUILIBRIUM" or "BULL ATK".
POC FLASH LINE:
A short dashed cyan line appears at the POC when a bounce is detected.
Trigger conditions: price is at the POC, the current candle is bullish after
a bearish candle, and volume is at least 1.2x average. This signals that
the POC is acting as active support and price is reacting to it in real time.
VA HIGH / VA LOW (Value Area lines):
Two horizontal lines mark the top and bottom of the Value Area -- the price range
where approximately 70% of volume traded. These act as support and resistance.
- VA High = resistance when price is below, breakout level when price pushes above
- VA Low = support when price is above, breakdown level when price drops below
When a breakout happens, the line turns green (up) or red (down) and gets thicker.
=====================================
3. LABELS ON PROFILE BINS
=====================================
Each profile bin can show a small text label. These describe what is happening
at that specific price level. Here is what each label means:
ABS (with up/down arrow):
"ABS▼ 7b" = Absorption detected. Institutional players are absorbing selling
pressure at this level (likely accumulating). The "7b" means it held for 7 bars.
ABS▼ = absorbing sells (bullish). ABS▲ = absorbing buys (bearish).
FLOW (with arrow):
"FLOW↑" or "FLOW↓" = A flow shift happened here. The delta direction reversed,
meaning buyers took over from sellers or vice versa. This is a momentum change signal.
FAIL (with arrow):
"FAIL↑" or "FAIL↓" = A flow shift was detected but FAILED to confirm.
The reversal started but price did not follow through. Shown in orange.
Often means the opposing side absorbed the move.
INVAL / INVALID:
"INVAL" or "INVALID" = A previously confirmed flow shift was invalidated.
Price reversed back through the shift level, canceling the signal.
Shown in orange. Treat the original shift direction as no longer valid.
BULL EXH / BEAR EXH:
"BULL EXH" or "BEAR EXH" = Exhaustion zone. Extreme delta (above 65%) combined
with FADING volume. The dominant side pushed too hard and is running out of fuel.
Shown in gold. Often precedes a reversal. Higher delta + lower volume = more exhausted.
IMBALANCE RATIO (number:1):
"4:1" = The ratio of buy volume to sell volume (or vice versa) at this bin.
A 4:1 ratio means one side has 4x the volume of the other.
Only shown when the imbalance exceeds the configured threshold.
ICE:
"ICE" = Iceberg order detected in this bin. High volume traded but price barely
moved, suggesting a large hidden order was absorbing all the activity.
CONFL / CONF+ / CONF-:
Confluence detected. Multiple signals (structure + order flow) agree on direction.
CONF+ = bullish confluence. CONF- = bearish confluence.
CONFLICT:
Structure says one thing, order flow says another. Be cautious.
STK (with multiplier):
"STK x3" = Imbalance stack. Three or more consecutive bins all lean the same
direction. Shows institutional pressure building across multiple price levels.
OB (with arrow):
"OB↑" or "OB↓" = This bin overlaps with an active Order Block (see section 6).
FVG (with arrow):
"FVG↑" or "FVG↓" = This bin overlaps with an active Fair Value Gap (see section 7).
"uFVG↑" or "uFVG↓" = Same but for a micro-level FVG (smaller gap detected
within the profile structure rather than on-chart candle gaps).
uSR:
Micro structure level. A price level that has been tested multiple times with
high volume -- acts as local support or resistance.
EQUILIBRIUM / BULL ATK / BEAR DEF / etc:
Context labels that describe the state of the bin:
- EQUILIBRIUM = balanced buyers and sellers
- BULL ATK = buyers attacking with increasing volume
- BULL DEF = buyers holding but volume fading
- BEAR ATK = sellers attacking with increasing volume
- BEAR DEF = sellers holding but volume fading
CONFIDENCE SCORE (number at end of label):
Example: "ABS▼ CONFL "
The number in brackets is a confidence score from 0-100.
Higher = more signals agreeing. Above 70 is strong.
DWELL TIME:
"8d" at the end means price spent 8 bars dwelling at this level.
More time at a level = stronger support/resistance.
=====================================
4. ARROWS ON PROFILE BINS
=====================================
Small arrows may appear to the right of profile bars:
DELTA ARROWS (^^):
Show if buying/selling pressure is accelerating or decelerating.
pointing up = bullish momentum gaining speed
pointing down = bearish momentum gaining speed
VOLUME ARROWS:
Show if volume is increasing or decreasing at each level.
Up arrow = volume building. Down arrow = volume fading.
VELOCITY BANDS:
Small colored boxes to the right of the profile.
Green = volume accelerating. Red = volume decelerating.
Only appears on high-volume bins.
=====================================
5. CVD LINE (curved line inside the profile)
=====================================
The colored line running through the profile area is the CVD
(Cumulative Volume Delta) line.
It tracks the running total of buy volume minus sell volume across the session.
- Line going UP = buyers accumulating over time
- Line going DOWN = sellers accumulating over time
HOW THE LINE COLOR WORKS:
The line color is NOT random. It checks the CVD value against 5 moving averages
(EMA 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55). Each EMA that CVD is ABOVE scores +1. Each EMA
that CVD is BELOW scores -1. The total score (-5 to +5) sets the color:
+5 (above ALL 5 EMAs) = deep forest green -- strong bullish momentum
+3 to +4 = bright green -- solid bullish
+1 to +2 = light green -- lean bullish
0 = gray -- neutral, no clear direction
-1 to -2 = light red -- lean bearish
-3 to -4 = bright red -- solid bearish
-5 (below ALL 5 EMAs) = deep dark red -- strong bearish momentum
In practice: when the line shifts from red to green, it means CVD has crossed
above its moving averages -- buying pressure is accelerating. When green turns
red, selling pressure is taking over. A gray section means CVD is choppy and
sitting between its averages with no conviction.
CVD LABEL (at the right end of the line):
"CVD +1.2K +5"
First number = raw CVD value (+1,200 net buy volume)
Second number = confirmation count (+5 means 5 consecutive bars where the
adaptive reset system confirmed the bullish direction)
The label color uses a separate gradient based on the confirmation count:
Deep green = many consecutive bullish confirmations
Deep red = many consecutive bearish confirmations
Yellow/gray = few or mixed confirmations
=====================================
6. ORDER BLOCKS (OBs) - colored boxes on candles
=====================================
Order Blocks are zones where institutions placed large orders.
They appear as colored boxes around groups of candles.
ACTIVE OBs (not yet tested):
- Green/teal box = bullish OB (expect support when price returns)
- Red box = bearish OB (expect resistance when price returns)
- Solid fill, extends rightward from the origin candles
BROKEN OBs (breakers):
- Same colors but with a transparent fill and border outline only
- A bullish OB becomes a breaker when price closes below its bottom
- A bearish OB becomes a breaker when price closes above its top
- Once broken, the OB flips role: old support becomes resistance and vice versa
- A dotted midline shows the 50% level of the broken OB
- If price then closes through the breaker in the new direction, it is removed entirely
Two detection methods run simultaneously:
- Fast: simple 3-bar pivot swings for reactive OBs near current price
- Deep: ICS-style fractal depth swings for structural OBs from further back
The "Detection Depth" setting controls the fractal depth (Short/Intermediate/Long Term).
=====================================
7. FAIR VALUE GAPS (FVGs) - striped zones on candles
=====================================
FVGs are gaps in the price action where one side (buyers or sellers) was so
dominant that price skipped over a range. Price tends to come back and fill these gaps.
They appear as small striped/hatched boxes at the gap location.
- Purple-ish stripes = the gap zone
- Each individual stripe is deleted when price crosses through its midpoint,
so the gap visually erodes from the inside out as price fills it
- After 21 bars, remaining unfilled stripes fade to show the gap is aging
- Once every stripe is filled, the FVG is fully removed from the chart
- Maximum 30 FVGs tracked at once (oldest removed first if exceeded)
=====================================
8. MULTI-TIMEFRAME BOXES (2m / 5m / 15m)
=====================================
Colored boxes extending behind and slightly ahead of the current candles.
These show FVGs and Order Blocks detected on HIGHER timeframes (2-minute,
5-minute, 15-minute charts) projected onto your 1-minute chart.
HOW TO TELL THEM APART:
Border style:
- Dashed border = FVG (Fair Value Gap)
- Solid border = OB (Order Block)
Thickness and length:
- Thin border, extends 20 bars back = 2-minute timeframe
- Thin border, extends 30 bars back = 5-minute timeframe
- Thick border, extends 50 bars back = 15-minute timeframe
Color:
- Cyan/teal = bullish (expect support)
- Orange = bearish (expect resistance)
When your 1-minute price touches a higher-timeframe structure, it carries
more weight because institutions watch those levels.
=====================================
9. PREDICTIVE CONFLUENCE ZONES (projected boxes)
=====================================
These are the "ZONE S x3" and "ZONE R x2" boxes that project AHEAD of current price
(to the right of the last candle).
They appear when multiple structures from different sources cluster at the
same price area:
- 1m Order Blocks + 1m FVGs + 2m structures + 5m structures + 15m structures
The system scans all unmitigated levels, finds where they overlap, and projects
a high-probability reaction zone.
"ZONE S x3" = Support zone, 3 structures converge here (green box)
"ZONE R x2" = Resistance zone, 2 structures converge here (red box)
Higher count = stronger zone. These are the highest-conviction levels on the chart.
=====================================
10. SIGNAL LABELS ON CANDLES
=====================================
These labels appear directly on or near candles when specific conditions are met:
SWEEP LABELS (cyan/magenta bubbles):
Example: "VA High 8"
A liquidity sweep happened -- price wicked past a key level and reversed.
The name shows which level was swept. The number is a quality score.
Higher score = more reliable sweep. Cyan = bullish sweep. Magenta = bearish.
ICE (cyan/red squares):
Small squares below (bull) or above (bear) candles.
"ICE 2.3x" = Iceberg order detected. Volume was 2.3x average but price
barely moved. A hidden large order was absorbing all activity.
COILED:
"COILED " = Price has been compressing (low volatility) for 4 bars
while sitting near a wall of support/resistance. Like a spring ready to release.
Green = bullish coil (expect breakout up). Red = bearish coil (expect breakdown).
!!SR (with arrow and count):
"!!SR 5x" = A wall of 5 micro-structure levels stacked at this price.
Strong support (arrow down, green) or resistance (arrow up, red).
CVD DIV:
"CVD DIV (up arrow)" = Bullish CVD divergence. Price is making lower lows but CVD
is improving -- hidden buying.
"CVD DIV (down arrow)" = Bearish CVD divergence. Price making higher highs but CVD
declining -- hidden selling.
VA BREAK:
"VA BREAK (up arrow)" or "VA BREAK (down arrow)" = Price just broke out of the Value Area.
A thick green or red line extends forward showing the breakout level.
This is a high-momentum signal.
VOLUME SPIKE:
"x3.2" = Volume on this candle is 3.2x the average. Shows in magenta above the candle.
REJECT:
"REJECT (arrow)" = Price momentum is pushing into a wall of support or resistance.
Warns of a potential rejection/reversal at that wall.
=====================================
11. SEQUENCE PATTERNS (triangles)
=====================================
These track a full institutional flow sequence through 4 stages:
1. ABSORPTION = institution absorbs orders at a level
2. FLOW SHIFT = delta reverses confirming direction
3. SWEEP = liquidity grab confirms intent
4. BREAKOUT = Value Area breakout completes the pattern
PROGRESS LABELS (small, during build-up):
"SEQ:SHIFT" or "SEQ:SWEEP" = Sequence is building, currently at that stage.
COMPLETED SEQUENCE (large triangle + label):
Hot pink triangle (up or down) with "SEQ BULL " or "SEQ BEAR ".
The number is the sequence score. This is the highest-confidence signal in DSMS.
A full 4-stage institutional sequence just completed.
=====================================
12. CANDLE TECH (colored candle borders)
=====================================
Certain candles get a colored border and a small label:
- Green border = bullish pattern detected (hammer, bullish engulfing, etc.)
- Red border = bearish pattern detected (shooting star, bearish engulfing, etc.)
The label shows:
"R 5" = Reversal pattern, score 5
"(up arrow) 3" = Continuation pattern, score 3
Higher score = more confirming factors (CVD alignment, volume surge, trend direction).
Thicker border = stronger pattern.
=====================================
13. LIQUIDITY VOID LINES
=====================================
Yellow dashed horizontal lines extending left from the profile.
These mark price levels with very low volume -- gaps where price moved
through quickly without much trading. When price returns to these levels,
it tends to move through them fast again or react sharply.
=====================================
14. STATE OF THE ARENA TABLE (corner dashboard)
=====================================
The table in the corner of the chart is the real-time scoring dashboard.
It combines all signals into one weighted score from -100 (max bearish) to +100 (max bullish).
HEADER ROW:
Shows the overall market state and final score.
States: BREAKOUT, TRENDING, COMPRESSED, CONTESTED, or NEUTRAL.
COMPONENT ROWS (each scored -100 to +100, weighted into final score):
Delta Flow (10%) -- raw buying vs selling pressure on current bar
CVD Flow (10%) -- cumulative volume delta trend and EMA band position
Flow Shift (9%) -- recent delta direction reversals
Absorption (9%) -- institutional stop hunt detection
Sequence (8%) -- institutional flow sequence progress
Confluence (7%) -- structural + psychological signal agreement
OB/FVG (7%) -- nearest order block or gap bias
Sweep (7%) -- recent liquidity grab signals
MTF (6%) -- multi-timeframe alignment (2m/5m/15m)
Volume (6%) -- spike detection
Walls (6%) -- support/resistance cluster strength
Accel (5%) -- delta acceleration (2nd derivative of momentum)
Iceberg (4%) -- hidden institutional order detection
Candle (3%) -- pattern recognition score
POC Shift (3%) -- value area migration direction
The final score is the weighted sum, clamped to -100 to +100.
70+ or below -70 = STRONG conviction
40-69 = MEDIUM conviction
15-39 = WEAK conviction
Below 15 = no clear direction
Each row shows a text status, numeric score, and a visual bar made of blocks.
Green blocks = bullish. Red blocks = bearish. More blocks = stronger signal.
SIGNAL SECTION (bottom of table):
Shows the single highest-priority actionable signal right now.
"Key" = what the signal is based on
"Action" = suggested stance (BUY / SELL / HOLD / CAUTION)
"Watch" = what to watch for next
