Vexrate Complex

Vexrate Complex is an ATAS indicator suite combining Smart Money Concept market-structure analysis with footprint-based order-flow pattern detection. The suite brings together two complementary modules — SMC for macro context and Footprint Patterns for candle-level volume analysis — unified through a multi-layer filtering system.

Modules

Smart Money Concept Module

The SMC module maps the broader market structure by detecting and rendering the following elements:

• Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH)
• Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Mitigation Blocks and Breaker Blocks
• Sweep Failure Points (SFP) and Counter-Trend Reversals (CTR)
• Liquidity events and session zones

Users can select short-term, intermediate-term or long-term structure logic, adjust structure-point sensitivity, and configure visual styles for zones and labels individually.

Footprint Patterns Module

The Footprint Patterns module analyzes cluster data inside each candle to surface volume-based behavioral patterns:

• Volume and delta distribution
• Bid/ask imbalances
• Absorption and trapped-trader patterns
• Delta divergence

Pattern thresholds for volume, delta and imbalance are fully configurable. Individual pattern types can be enabled or disabled independently.

Multi-Layer Filtering

The pattern set can be narrowed by requiring confluence with one or more of the following layers:

• SMC zones and BOS/CHoCH context
• Order Blocks
• VWAP and Volume Profile levels
• Dynamic Levels and pivots
• Divergence filters
• Session zones

Visualization and Alerts

• Flexible visualization of zones, levels, structural events and detected patterns
• Alert support for selected pattern types and structural events

Core Logic

The suite is built around a two-step analytical workflow. The SMC module identifies the broader market context — structure direction, key zone types and liquidity events. The Footprint Patterns module then provides candle-level volume data at those zones. Users apply this combination to assess whether buyer or seller activity is present at structurally relevant locations, and to evaluate whether a breakout is supported by volume, delta and imbalance data.

Analytical Workflow Examples

• Structure + footprint: Identify bullish or bearish market structure using BOS and CHoCH, then analyze footprint data inside an Order Block or Fair Value Gap to assess buyer and seller activity at that zone.
• Liquidity zone analysis: Detect absorption, trapped-trader patterns or delta divergence near key liquidity zones.
• Breakout assessment: Evaluate whether a breakout is supported by initiative volume, delta and imbalance behavior.
• Confluence filtering: Require alignment with VWAP, Volume Profile levels, pivots or session zones to narrow the pattern set to higher-confluence locations.
• Zone-based analysis: Use SMC levels as structural reference points and Footprint Patterns as a volume-behavior layer at those locations.
