Overview
AquaFlux only opens a position when the "undercurrent" of buying/selling pressure shifts direction first: the Money Flow Line (a volume-weighted Accumulation/Distribution Line) crossing its own smoothed average. That spark is only accepted once a Volatility Expansion Check confirms the recent trading range is genuinely widening (not a dead, range-bound market), and a short-term direction line filters out counter-trend entries. Designed for H1 charts on instruments with reliable trade volume.

Timeframe & Instruments
Timeframe: H1 (M30-H4 also workable). Best fit: Crypto / US Stocks / Indices (instruments with reliable real trade volume, since the Money Flow Line needs genuine volume data). Simulated frequency check on synthetic H1 data (regime-switching random walk, 4 random seeds): ~1.0-1.15 signals/day at default settings.
