# Re-distribution Re-distribution is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®. Follows pauses inside established downtrends as candidate re-distribution, filing weak-rally evidence (lower highs, stalled rallies at resistance, upthrusts and contracting up-move volume) on a live dashboard. Confirmation requires a breakdown holding 3 closes below the range low; sustained acceptance above the range high invalidates the thesis as accumulation. Six alerts track the sequence. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Jun 2, 2026. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Re-distribution](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/re-distribution/) (primary) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=gov5bnsk96dzpypjqsvluxg3 - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/re-distribution/ **Re-distribution** watches the pause that lets a downtrend reload. A stall low ending a qualifying ATR-normalized decline opens a candidate range, and the build files the weak-rally evidence behind [re-distribution](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/re-distribution/): lower highs, quick rejections from the resistance zone, failed upthrusts, rallies running lighter than declines, contracting up-move volume. The verdict waits for a breakdown that holds; acceptance above the range kills the thesis and argues accumulation. ## How to Trade the Re-distribution? - **Range detected**: the pause qualifies as a trading range inside the downtrend; the checklist goes live, the bullish base alternative still open. - **Upthrust**: a poke above resistance failing within the recovery window prints an Upthrust label, the bearish mirror of a spring, heavily weighted. - **Re-distribution confirmed**: the breakdown holds the required closes below the range low, the label noting breakdown volume against the pre-break average. - **Acceptance above**: closes held above resistance beyond the upthrust window invalidate. The read flips to accumulation. ## Re-distribution Settings - **Downtrend Lookback (Bars)** (default 50), **Minimum Decline (xATR)** (default 2.0), **ATR Length** (default 14): the qualifying decline. - **Swing Length** (default 5): pivot strength of the boundary swings. - **Minimum Range Duration (Bars)** (default 15): a short upward drift is bear-flag territory, not a range. - **Upthrust Recovery Window (Bars)** (default 5): how long price may close above resistance and still snap back. - **Breakdown Hold (Bars)** (default 3) and **Volume Average Length** (default 20): confirmation and volume baseline. - **Resistance Zone (% of Range Height)** (default 25) and **Rally Rejection Window (Bars)** (default 5): what counts as a rejected rally. - **Show Dashboard** (on), **Position** (Top Right), **Size** (Small); **Show Range Box**, **Lower-High Markers**, **Event Labels** (on), **Range Fill Transparency** (default 90). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How does this relate to the Upthrust indicator? The dedicated [Upthrust](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/upthrust/) build isolates the failure above resistance as its own event; here they are one evidence line, weighed with lower highs, stalled rallies and volume asymmetry toward a diagnosis only a held breakdown settles. ### Can it call re-distribution before the breakdown? No. The score leans, but no verdict is issued early; the same behavior can precede a base, so acceptance above is tracked with equal care. ### What happens without volume data? Structural checks still run (lower highs, stalled rallies, upthrusts, close position), and the evidence total drops from six to four; the breakdown volume note is skipped. ## Related indicators - [Retest & Break Setup](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/retest-break-setup/) (Breakout-pullback-continuation): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/retest-break-setup.md - [Range Detector](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-detector/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-detector.md - [False Breakout](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/false-breakout/) (Market Structure): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/false-breakout.md - [Fibonacci Ranges (Real-Time)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fibonacci-ranges-real-time/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fibonacci-ranges-real-time.md - [Range Intelligence Suite](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-intelligence-suite/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-intelligence-suite.md - [Parabolic Phase](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/parabolic-phase/) (Market Structure): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/parabolic-phase.md - [Bart Pattern](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/bart-pattern/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/bart-pattern.md - [Range Average Retest Model](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-average-retest-model/) (Trading Range): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/range-average-retest-model.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/re-distribution/ (LuxAlgo Library).
