Azimuth

Azimuth: Multi-Level Swing Structure Indicator for MT5

Overview

Azimuth is a multi-level swing structure indicator by Merkava Labs. Four nested swing layers, swing-anchored VWAP, ABC pattern detection, and closed-bar confirmed entry arrows — powered by the Meridian adaptive trend engine. One chart, one workflow from micro-swings to macro-cycles.

While most ZigZag indicators show only major swings, Azimuth reveals four structural levels simultaneously, giving you early-cycle entries, late-cycle warnings, and full structural context.

1. Main Features

Meridian Adaptive Trend Engine

An adaptive trend ribbon with momentum gating and dynamic volatility adaptation. Candle colors driven by trend state for cleaner structure reading. Three tunable parameters: Period, Depth, Volatility Adaptation.

Closed-Bar Confirmed Entry Arrows

Confirmed buy/sell arrows that validate only after the ABC setup and a confirming candle close. Basic momentum and volume filters help clean up weaker triggers. In Azimuth Free, the confirmed layer is live-confirmed only: on a fresh load it starts clean instead of reconstructing historical arrows after the fact. Full alert system: popup, sound, push notification, email.

4-Level Swing Hierarchy

Minor, intermediate, major, and macro structure rendered simultaneously on one chart. Color-coded visualization for instant pattern recognition.

2. Core Features

• Swing-Anchored VWAP — AVWAP from major swing highs and lows plus Daily VWAP as institutional benchmark. Directional logic: support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends.
• ABC Pattern Detection — Early Cycle, Main Trend, and Late Cycle setups. Current TF bias filtering with Cycle and Wave modes.
• Multi-Timeframe Dashboard — Current TF, HTF1, and HTF2 bias in one compact panel. Draggable and minimizable. ATR%, ADR%, spread, candle timer, and live price.
• HTF Structure Lines — Support and resistance from higher-timeframe swings projected onto your chart. Overlapping zones merged automatically.
• 20 Quantum Color Themes — Smart candle coloring with 3-color or 2-color modes, plus Bars mode for minimal chart setups.

3. Timeframe Compatibility

Optimized for M1 to M30 with default settings. On H1 and above, raise MaxCalculationBars only if you want fuller higher-timeframe dashboard coverage. Recommended: M5–M30 for the best intraday and swing workflow.

For traders who need synthetic multi-timeframe context, Signal Quality control, and advanced confirmation intelligence, Azimuth Pro is available separately in our Market portfolio.

Important: Confirmed entry arrows are generated only after the ABC setup and a confirming candle close. Candle Color Mode must remain enabled because the confirmation logic still depends on candle-color state. Azimuth Free is live-confirmed only: on a fresh load it shows new confirmed events, not reconstructed historical confirmations. ZigZag and ABC signals update dynamically as structure evolves — this is normal live structure behavior.

Risk Disclaimer: Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Azimuth is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice. Always use proper risk management.
