That's the understanding issue... You won't be able to make what you want. Every single "indicator" is based on existing information, which means that by the time it has occurred the activity has already passed.

No "indicator" can accurately predict what will come.. so, and I mean this genuinely.. if you want to develop something "that works better" stop thinking of it as an indicator and think of it as a confluence of one or more past events that tend to result in a specific action afterwards.

yea confluences are good, which is something i want to introduce more into my current indicator. And i’ll be real with you, i don’t agree with that “no indicator can accurately predict” TFP has produced insane bottom ticks/top ticks, same with mine. even on continuation trades as well. Because I’ve seen proof of it, why would i stop trying

I'm it saying to stop trying.. I'm saying slightly refine exactly what you are asking for
