KDJ WHALE Trading Guide

The KDJ Whale is a dual-engine momentum and institutional volume detector. Its most powerful feature is its ability to identify extreme market anomalies known as Whale Pumps and Whale Dumps—massive surges of buying or selling pressure that occur "under the hood."

The Core Feature: Whale Pumps & Dumps

Unlike standard volume bars, the KDJ Whale indicator mathematically isolates abnormal institutional involvement (Whale Events) by comparing price thrusts against historical EMA volatility thresholds. When a whale enters the market, it prints massive spikes on the oscillator starting from the zero line:

• Whale Pump (Yellow Spike): An explosive upward volume event. It indicates strong, aggressive institutional buying. The taller the spike, the heavier the trapped volume.
• Whale Dump (Red Spike): A violent downward volume event indicating panic, liquidation, or institutional dumping.
• Background Coloring: When significant pump or dump activity holds the market, the background dynamically paints green or red to signal the active whale regime.
• WP / WD Labels: Text markers directly highlighting the exact candle where an extreme pump or dump was detected.

Secondary Features

• KDJ Oscillator: The traditional stochastic oscillator (K, D, J lines) running behind the whale spikes to provide structural momentum context.
• OBV Divergences: Green (Bull) and Red (Bear) triangles appear when the internal On-Balance Volume disagrees with the current price action, warning of an immediate reversal.

How to use Strategy Parameters (Condition Source)

The strategy capabilities of the KDJ Whale focus deeply on analyzing institutional whale activity.

1. Advanced Whale Detection

• Whale Pump (WP) / Whale Dump (WD) — Boolean signals instantly identifying if a whale volume candle occurred.
• Whale Pump Strength / Whale Dump Strength (Abs) — The exact numerical height of the spike. Use this to filter out "weak" bumps by using comparison operators (e.g., > 0.2).
• Whale Pump Δ / Whale Dump Δ (Abs) — Tracks the momentum of the volume. Measures how much the whale pressure grew compared to the previous candle. A positive Delta means the institution is pushing harder.

Strategy Example: Join an institutional breakout by entering a long trade when buying pressure is actively accelerating: Whale Pump Δ > 0 is_true and Whale Pump (WP) is_true.

2. Divergence and Oscillation

• Bullish / Bearish Divergence — Signals an imminent trend reversal discovered through OBV anomaly tracking.
• Buy Signal (B) / Sell Signal (S) — Standard KDJ limits being breached.
