OFC - Adaptive Absorption Detector ATS-edition

This script is a highly focused and clean absorption detection tool that highlights candles where volume is abnormally high relative to price movement — a hallmark of potential absorption zones. It's designed for intraday traders, tape readers, and orderflow strategists who want to visualize passive liquidity defense or aggressive limit-order fills.

The indicator detects absorption zones — areas where aggressive buying or selling meets hidden limit orders — using a normalized effort model.
It calculates volume-per-price-movement (effort) and flags candles where this effort is unusually high using a configurable Z-score threshold.

Key features:

🔍 Detects both directional (OC) and range-based (HL) absorption

📏 Highlights levels with solid, dashed, or bold lines

🚨 Includes optional visual markers for quick recognition

⚙️ Fully configurable for Z-threshold, line count, and display modes

Ideal for identifying hidden support/resistance, inefficient candles, and reversal zones in real-time or historical analysis.
