Two reversal marks in one session: what sets them apart?

With PulseFlow VWAP Levels + POC, Imbalance Sessions & ADR and FlowRev 2.1 you see what level each reversal mark lands on, how far the day had already run and whether the warning went on to confirm.

Same label, twice in one day

Picture your chart at the close with two reversal marks, a few hours apart: same label, same color, same conditions behind them. The first appeared mid-morning, with no level nearby. The second landed on a line you had marked before the open, once the day had covered its full average range. The label cannot tell them apart; the chart around it can.

Three PulseFlow indicators build that chart: PulseFlow VWAP Levels + POC, PulseFlow Imbalance Sessions & ADR and PulseFlow - Flow Exhaustion & Reversal v2.1 EXP, FlowRev 2.1 from here on.

Where is price? The levels volume left behind

PulseFlow VWAP Levels + POC draws the VWAP, a period's average price weighted by volume, for the day and week in progress, the regular New York session and the closed periods, from yesterday to last year. The closed ones no longer move, so you can mark them before the open. A Rolling POC (Point of Control) adds an approximation of the price band with the most volume in recent candles.

What is still open, and how far the day has run

PulseFlow Imbalance Sessions & ADR keeps the open imbalance zones (fair value gaps) in view: price ranges a fast move ran through that are still unfilled. Bullish ones are green, bearish ones red. Price coming back narrows a zone, and a complete fill removes it. On charts up to one hour, the indicator also marks the Tokyo, London and New York sessions and their untouched highs and lows.

The ADR, or average daily range, is the size of a typical day. The indicator stacks projection lines above today's low and below today's high, in steps up to that size; the furthest on each side marks a full average day.

Has the push turned? A warning, then a confirmation

FlowRev 2.1 gauges from the candles whether buyers or sellers are pressing harder. When a push may be wearing out, it prints a W, for warning. A REV follows only if, at a candle close, price breaks toward the turn and fast flow switches sides with it; otherwise the W expires or is invalidated. The W tells you where to look, and the REV that the turn met its conditions.

One session, two REVs

Here is that session step by step, as a hypothetical example on a 5-minute chart. Mid-morning, price dips and a W is followed by a REV to the upside. Around it: no closed VWAP, no open zone, and the furthest ADR projection below the day's high still far off. The REV says the push changed; nothing else on the chart adds to it.

In the afternoon, price falls into a green zone left by yesterday's rally, just above yesterday's VWAP and right on the furthest ADR projection below the day's high: the day has traveled about its average range. The zone narrows but stays open. A W appears inside it, then a REV to the upside, this time on a zone and a level marked before the open.

Both REVs met the same conditions; only what you knew about the place differs. In a rally, mirror it: a red zone just under a closed VWAP, the furthest projection above the day's low and a REV to the downside.

Three indicators on one chart

Running all three at once takes more than TradingView's Basic plan, which allows two indicators per chart (pricing page checked on October 10, 2026).

All three work from candle prices and volume, without footprint data. The VWAPs and the Rolling POC are built from that volume, so your symbol has to report it; without it, the zones also lose the shading that shows the volume behind each one. Zones and REVs are drawn at the candle close, and FlowRev 2.1 is an experimental version.

The mark and everything around it

With the three on, a reversal mark no longer stands alone: you see what it landed on, how far the day had run and whether a REV followed the W. Marks in the middle of nowhere can go by while you watch the places you had already chosen. You decide, with all of that in view.

Prices for PulseFlow indicators are not active for now: details are in the pricing section. Start with the closed VWAPs on your chart, then add the zones, the range and the marks.
