Buying/Selling Proxy

TiltFolio Buying/Selling Proxy
This simple but effective indicator visualizes short-term buying or selling pressure using log returns over a rolling window.
How It Works:
Plotted as a color-coded histogram:
✅ Green = net buying
❌ Red = net selling
Why Use It:
This proxy helps traders gauge directional bias and momentum beneath the surface of price action — especially useful for confirming breakout strength, timing entries, or filtering signals.
- Inspired by academic return normalization, but optimized for practical use.
- Use alongside TiltFolio's Breakout Trend indicator for added context.
