OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
HFT Jude Footprint
This script is designed to detect potential High-Frequency Trader (HFT) activity based on unusual volume spikes and candle behavior, in order to identify potential intraday breakout opportunities. It is best suited for 3-minute and 5-minute charts across NSE-listed stocks.
How It Works
The strategy combines three core conditions:
Volume Spike Multiplier: Detects when current volume is > X times the rolling average (e.g., 5× 20-bar average volume).
Breakout Confirmation: Entry is considered only if the close is:
Near the high (for longs) or low (for shorts) of the candle.
Higher than the previous high (for longs), or lower than previous low (for shorts).
Visual Signal: When all conditions align, a Buy or Sell label is plotted on the chart, right at the candle where the footprint is detected.
This script is tailored for scalpers, intraday traders, and HFT watchers. It is not a mash-up of generic indicators and based on my backtesting and observation of large HFT firms that operate in the indian equities market,
