# Wyckoff Distribution Schematic Maps the distribution sequence live on the chart (PSY, BC, AR, ST, phase B upthrusts, UTAD or lower-high test, SOW and LPSY) via a state machine keyed to a prior uptrend, wide spread and climactic volume. Lettered phase zones shade the range, boundaries draw at the BC high and the ice, a markdown target projects on confirmation, and ten alerts cover the sequence. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Jun 6, 2026. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Wyckoff Distribution Schematic](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/wyckoff-distribution-schematic/) (primary) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=z1pzjjaml4dbi1fyllu69z5p - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/wyckoff-distribution-schematic/ **Wyckoff Distribution Schematic** is the definitive clean build of the [Wyckoff distribution schematic](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/wyckoff-distribution-schematic/), mapping how markups end. A buying climax requires an established advance surging into new highs on wide spread and climactic volume; the automatic reaction's low sets support (the ice), the BC high resistance. ## How to Trade the Wyckoff Distribution Schematic? - **UTAD / phase C test**: the final probe above resistance failing back inside is the classic risk-defined short area. - **SOW then LPSY**: after a break through the ice on heavy spread and volume, a dull-volume rally stalling below is the phase D entry. - **Failure upward**: sustained closes above resistance fade the labels and print Failed. Mid-range, the dashboard reminds you this could still be re-accumulation; confirmed markdown solidifies the labels and projects a 1:1 target below the ice. ## Wyckoff Distribution Schematic Settings - **Swing Length** (default 5): pivot confirmation lag for events. - **Uptrend Lookback** (default 50) and **Uptrend Strength** (default 1.0): the ATR-scaled advance a BC needs. - **Automatic Reaction Window** (default 20) and **AR Reaction Depth (ATR)** (default 2.0): deadline and depth for the break that sets the ice. - **Minimum Phase B Bars** (default 10), **Upthrust Fallback / Breakout Grace (bars)** (default 5), **Markdown Confirmation Closes** (default 2): cause time, overshoot grace, confirmation. - **Boundary Zone %** (default 25) and **Preliminary Supply Lookback** (default 30): boundary tolerance and PSY scan. - **Volume / Spread Baseline** (default 20), **ATR Length** (default 14), **Climactic Volume x** (default 2.0), **Wide Spread x** (default 1.5), **SOW Volume x** (default 1.5), **Dull Volume x** (default 0.8): event grading thresholds. - Display toggles: **Show Phase Dashboard**, **Phase Zones**, **Event Labels**, **Range Boundaries**, **Markdown Target Projection** (all on by default). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What separates a UT from a UTAD? Timing inside the cause is the whole difference. A failed push above resistance before Minimum Phase B Bars elapse is an ordinary upthrust; after the cause has built, the same failure becomes the terminal UTAD and opens phase C. ### Is this just the accumulation tool flipped? The skeleton mirrors the [accumulation schematic](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/wyckoff-accumulation-schematic/), but distribution keeps its asymmetries. UT labels exist only on this side, and LPSY rallies are graded at the underside of the broken ice. ### Does it work without volume data? Yes. With no volume, the climax, SOW and test checks fall back to spread-only signatures, and the dashboard says so. Volume is half the method, so prefer markets where it exists. ## Related indicators - [Upthrust After Distribution](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/upthrust-after-distribution/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/upthrust-after-distribution.md - [Markup & Markdown](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/markup-and-markdown/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/markup-and-markdown.md - [Upthrust](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/upthrust/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/upthrust.md - [Absorption](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/absorption/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/absorption.md - [Cause & Effect](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/cause-and-effect/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/cause-and-effect.md - [Trading-range Position](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trading-range-position/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/trading-range-position.md - [Wyckoff Method](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/wyckoff-method/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/wyckoff-method.md - [Spring](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/spring/) (Wyckoff): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/spring.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/wyckoff-distribution-schematic/ (LuxAlgo Library).
