Rapid Trend Mapping

Rapid Trend Mapping – Structural Context & Market Intelligence Engine

Rapid Trend Mapping is a market-structure intelligence engine designed to answer one core trading question:

“Where should I be looking for trades?”

This indicator is intentionally not an entry system.
It does not generate buy or sell signals.

Its role is to define structure, directional bias, and high-probability Areas of Interest (POIs) so that trade execution can be performed using a separate entry or trigger-based tool.

The workflow is deliberately professional and sequential:

Structure → Bias → POI → Entry

Conceptual Foundation (Why this is not a mashup)

Rapid Trend Mapping is not a combination of unrelated tools such as trend lines, Fibonacci, or Fair Value Gaps.
Every component in this script is structurally dependent on the previous one:

• IC defines the active price container
  
• Legs validate real structural extremes
  
• Confirmations anchor directional bias
  
• Flip logic re-anchors structure when violated
  
• FVGs are scanned only inside valid structure
  
• Fibonacci zones constrain FVG relevance
  

No element operates independently.
Removing one breaks the entire model.

This dependency chain is what differentiates Rapid Trend Mapping from traditional structure or FVG indicators.

1. IC (Independent Candle)
The IC represents the first meaningful expansion of price after indecision.
An IC is formed when price breaks the previous candle’s high or low, establishing an initial directional hypothesis.
From that point:

• IC High and IC Low define the active price container
  
• Expansion is wick-aware, not close-dependent
  
• IC remains active until a valid continuation or reversal occurs
  

This mirrors real market behavior, where price expands, retraces, and re-expands before committing to direction.

2. Legs (Validated Market Swings)
Legs represent confirmed structural extremes, not random highs or lows.
A leg is printed only when price forces a directional decision.
The engine maintains only the two most recent valid legs, mirroring how experienced traders track structure in real time.
Special handling is built in for:

• Short legs near reversal zones
  
• Wick-based liquidity raids
  
• Temporary compression before expansion
  

This prevents premature structure shifts and keeps the model aligned with live market conditions.

3. Confirmed Trend (Directional Authority)
Trend confirmation occurs only after structure is violated:

• Breaking a black High confirms a bullish (green) Low
  
• Breaking a black Low confirms a bearish (red) High
  

Once confirmed:

• The trend level becomes the authoritative directional bias
  
• IC and leg logic continue updating in the background
  
• Trend remains active until structurally invalidated
  

This prevents early bias changes and filters out market noise.

4. Flip Logic (Advanced Structural Re-Anchoring)
Flip logic is intentionally separate from confirmation logic.
When a confirmed trend level is violated, the engine performs a local structural scan from the last confirmation point and identifies the true highest high or lowest low formed during that period.
The new trend anchor is placed at the actual extreme, not a cached or assumed level.
This ensures:

• Trend flips align with real liquidity extremes
  
• Anchors reflect true market intent
  
• No repainting or hindsight bias
  

Market Realism & Sophistication
Rapid Trend Mapping is designed to behave like the market, not like textbook diagrams.
Key characteristics:

• Wick-aware structural decisions
  
• Double-raid protection to prevent instability
  
• IC expansion control without corrupting confirmed structure
  
• Natural signal reduction during ranging conditions
  

Periods of reduced output are intentional and protective.

Fair Value Gap (FVG) Intelligence
FVGs are not plotted globally or historically.
They are detected only:

• Inside the active structural window
  
• After trend confirmation
  
• Within the current swing range
  

Additional filtering is applied using Fibonacci boundaries:

• Bullish FVGs appear only in valid discount zones
  
• Bearish FVGs appear only in valid premium zones
  
• Optional pre-scan captures early imbalances near confirmation
  

This removes clutter and focuses attention on actionable POIs, not historical artifacts.

Recommended Usage
Higher Timeframe (Context)
Use on 4H, Daily, or Weekly charts to define:

• Structural bias
  
• Key POIs
  
• Premium and discount zones
  

Lower Timeframe (Execution)
Once price reaches a higher-timeframe POI, drop to lower timeframes and execute using a separate entry indicator.
This resolves the common problem of having entries without directional context.

Final Notes
Rapid Trend Mapping is a structural intelligence layer.
It does not chase price.
It does not predict reversals.
It does not force trades.
It reads market intent, adapts to real-time behavior, and guides traders to where attention should be focused.
When combined with a precise execution tool, it forms a complete professional trading framework aligned with real market structure.

Release Notes

Latest Update – Fibonacci Zone Refinement
Both the RAW FVG engine and the Pre-Scan FVG engine have been enhanced.
Previously, FVGs were filtered using a single Fibonacci boundary.
This update introduces a dual-boundary Fibonacci zone, meaning:

• FVGs are now displayed only when fully contained between two user-defined Fibonacci levels
  
• This applies consistently to both bullish and bearish trends
  
• The logic correctly inverts between uptrends and downtrends
  

This refinement significantly improves POI precision and removes structurally invalid gaps.
