Delta Slingshot & FADE & ABS Triggers for Sierra Chart
Detect high-probability delta-based slingshot reversals and exhaustion fades — all in real time.
Delta Slingshot & FADE & ABS Triggers is a professional-grade ACSIL study for Sierra Chart, engineered for advanced orderflow traders who seek to capture reversal momentum bursts and exhaustion fades using the interaction between Delta, VWAP standard deviations, and Bollinger bands on delta.
What Delta Slingshot & FADE & ABS Triggers Does
The study identifies three distinct classes of setups:
- Slingshot Triggers (2-Bar & 3-Bar): Detect sudden delta-based reversals caused by trapped momentum traders. These are fast-reacting setups that often precede aggressive follow-through candles.
- FADE Triggers (Long/Short): Identify exhaustion points near VWAP ±2σ deviations, confirming when order flow exhaustion meets contextual overextension.
- ABS (Absorption): Micro-structural exhaustion detection using Volume at Price analysis. Identifies finished business at price extremes combined with consecutive absorption patterns across multiple price levels. Catches reversal points where one side runs completely dry and the other side takes control.
- Key Distinction: While FADE triggers identify exhaustion near VWAP deviations, ABS triggers detect micro-structural exhaustion at the extremes using VAP analysis.
The logic combines multiple advanced elements:
- Delta Bollinger Bands (dynamic extremes)
- VWAP and VWAP STD
- Heiken Ashi optional smoothing for FADE filtering
- Configurable minimum consecutive candles for fade confirmation
Key Features
🔹 Delta Slingshot (2-Bar & 3-Bar):
Automatically detect short-term delta reversals triggered by trapped aggressive traders.
🔹 FADE Triggers (Long & Short):
Spot areas where order flow exhaustion meets VWAP deviation extremes, signaling high-probability fade reversals.
🔹ABS (Absorption): Micro-level exhaustion detection using VAP analysis. Spots finished business combined with multi-level absorption patterns that precede violent reversals.
🔹 Bollinger Bands on Delta:
Statistically adaptive Bollinger Bands applied to delta, dynamically identifying delta overextensions and reversals.
🔹 Heiken Ashi Filter (Optional):
Refines FADE setups by smoothing candle noise to isolate exhaustion patterns from genuine continuation.
🔹 Advanced Configuration:
Customizable Bollinger Length/StdDev, VWAP StdDev, consecutive candle count for fade validation, and optional HA-based filters.
🔹ABS: Configurable minimum consecutive opposite delta rows (1-10), minimum consecutive candles before trigger (0-10), optional Heiken Ashi filtering for context smoothing.
Why Use Delta Slingshot & FADE & ABS Triggers
Turn raw delta and footprint volume into actionable reversal signals.
This study provides contextual precision to traders, giving them real-time confirmation of when imbalances flip and momentum shifts.
✅ Identify delta-based reversals before price action confirms
✅ Spot exhaustion fades near VWAP ±2σ for precise countertrend entries
✅ Visual clarity with up/down arrows for instant interpretation
✅ Catch micro-structural exhaustion at exact price extremes using VAP analysis
✅ Works seamlessly with your existing SC chartbook / template.
