MCD Hot Money visualizes three distinct market participant groups as color-coded histograms in a separate sub-window, all normalized to a 0–20 scale. The indicator uses a sensitivity-weighted, offset-adjusted RSI engine to reveal when large institutional capital is entering or exiting the market.

─── BUFFERS ───
- Retailer (Green) — fixed at 20, ceiling reference line
- Hot Money (Yellow) — short-term institutional flow, based on RSI(40) with base offset 30, sensitivity 0.7
- Banker (Red) — smart / large money flow, based on RSI(50) with base offset 50, sensitivity 1.5
Formula: Output = sensitivity × (RSI(period) − base) , clamped to [0, 20]
─── MARKET ZONES (read Banker level) ───
- 15 – 20 → Strong Bull: heavy institutional buying, strong uptrend
- 10 – 15 → Mild Bull: bullish bias, look for entry confirmation
- 8 – 12 → Neutral: no clear direction, avoid new positions
- 5 – 8 → Mild Bear: bearish bias, prepare short setups
- 0 – 5 → Strong Bear: heavy selling pressure, strong downtrend
─── SIGNALS ───
- BUY: Banker > 10 AND Hot Money crosses UP above Banker
- SELL: Banker < 10 AND Hot Money crosses DOWN below Banker
- Bullish Divergence: price forms lower low + Banker forms higher low (Banker zone < 8)
- Bearish Divergence: price forms higher high + Banker forms lower high (Banker zone > 12)
Always confirm divergence signals with a Hot Money crossover before entering.
─── STRATEGIES ─── Strategy 1 — Trend Following (Primary) Enter when Banker holds above/below 10 for 2+ bars AND Hot Money crosses in the same direction. Exit when Hot Money crosses back or Banker reverses through 10.
Strategy 2 — Divergence (Counter-Trend) Identify price vs Banker divergence, then wait for Hot Money crossover as entry trigger. Never enter on divergence alone.
Strategy 3 — Combined (Highest Probability) Divergence condition + crossover signal occur within 1–2 bars. Strongest setup, justifies tighter stops and slightly larger sizing.
─── TIMEFRAMES ───
- M5/M15: Low quality, high noise — scalping only
- H1: Medium — use H4 as confirmation filter
- H4: High — primary recommended timeframe
- D1: Very High — cleanest signals, position trading
- W1: Best — macro bias and trend confirmation
Multi-timeframe workflow: Check D1 for macro Banker direction → H4 for primary crossover → H1 for entry timing. Only trade when all timeframes agree.
─── INPUT PARAMETERS ───
- hot_money_sensitivity (0.7): RSI output multiplier for Hot Money
