Hooke's Law: Market ElasticityHooke's Law: Market Elasticity is a physics-based mean reversion system that models price action using the principles of Classical Mechanics.
Most technical indicators treat the market as a purely statistical entity. This script takes a different approach, treating the market as a physical object with Mass (Volume) and Stiffness (Volatility) . By adapting Hooke’s Law of Elasticity (𝐹=−𝑘𝑋), it visualizes the "Tensile Stress" between price and its equilibrium, identifying the exact moment when a trend becomes unsustainable and must "snap back."
The Physics of Trading
In physics, Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched. We map this to financial markets using four key components:
Equilibrium (𝑋=0): The "Resting State" of the market, calculated using a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) . This represents the fair value where buyers and sellers agree.
2. Displacement (𝑋): The distance price travels away from this equilibrium.
3. Spring Constant (𝑘): We use Volatility (Standard Deviation) to measure the market's "stiffness."
• Low Volatility: The spring is loose; price can wander far without snapping.
• High Volatility: The spring is stiff; even small deviations create massive tension.
4. Force (𝐹): The calculation is weighted by Relative Volume . A price spike on low volume has low force (easy to reverse), while a spike on high volume carries high momentum (harder to reverse).
Visual Guide & Signals
The indicator uses a hierarchy of visuals to guide you through the trade lifecycle:
1. The Elastic Ribbon (Heatmap)
Connects Price to the Baseline. As the ribbon turns Solid White , the market has reached its Elastic Limit (Critical Zone). This is your warning that a move is overextended.
2. The "Golden" Labels (LONG / SHORT)
These are your Entry Signals . They appear only when the physics "snap" is confirmed by an internal momentum filter and price action.
3. The Small Circles (Minor Reversions)
These dots represent "Minor Snaps." They occur when the elastic tension releases, but the momentum filter hasn't fully confirmed a major reversal.
• Usage: These are excellent Early Warning signs or Scale-In points for aggressive traders.
Strategy: Entries, Exits & Take Profits
This script is designed as a complete system. Here is how to manage the trade using the visual cues:
• Entry: Wait for a LONG or SHORT label to appear.
• Stop Loss: Use the Solid White Line that appears automatically with the signal. If price touches this line, the physics setup has failed—exit immediately.
• Take Profit 1 (The Equilibrium): The Gray Baseline represents the market's center of gravity. In mean reversion trading, price tends to snap back to this line. This is the statistically highest-probability target.
• Take Profit 2 (The Circles): If you are in a trade and a Circle appears in the opposite direction, it indicates the market is experiencing counter-tension. This is an ideal place to secure partial profits or trail your stop.
Settings & Configuration
• Baseline Length (Default: 34): The lookback period for the Center of Gravity.
• Elasticity Limit (Default: 2.618): The Golden Ratio is used as the standard deviation threshold for the "Critical Zone."
• Volume Weighting (Default: True): Recommended. Adds the "Mass" component to the physics calculation.
• Stop Loss Buffer (Default: 0.5): The distance (in Sigma) for the Stop Loss placement.
Risk Disclaimer
Not Financial Advice: This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. It visualizes market data based on mathematical formulas (Hooke's Law and Statistical Deviation) and does not guarantee future performance or profits.
Market Risks: Financial trading involves significant risk. The "Critical Zones" and "Signals" generated by this script identify statistical extremes, but markets can remain irrational or overextended for long periods ("Plastic Deformation").
Usage: Do not trade blindly based on these signals. Always use this tool in conjunction with your own analysis, risk management, and stop-losses. The author assumes no responsibility for any trading losses incurred while using this script.
