Tolu High Tight Flag Index (HTF)

813
The Tolu High Tight Flag Index (HTF) is a composite indicator designed to quantify the conditions necessary for a classic High Tight Flag continuation pattern.

Pole Score (Part A): Measures the strength of the initial sharp upward price move (the "Pole") by comparing recent momentum against volatility. It only scores high when the price move is significantly greater than the typical volatility.

Flag Score (Part B): Only active in an uptrend (Close > 50 SMA), this score measures the characteristics of the "Tight Flag" consolidation. It combines factors like contracting price ranges, positive volume pressure, and low short-term volatility relative to longer-term volatility.

Interpretation: High index values suggest that both the explosive move (Pole) and the subsequent quiet, tight consolidation (Flag) are occurring simultaneously, indicating a potential setup for a strong continuation breakout.
