Candle Color By OHLC ComparisonThis indicator is designed to help you recognize the price movements within a candle/bar more quickly and easily. Typically, candle coloring is based on the opening and closing prices, but in this indicator, I followed the OHLC values in reverse order: starting with closing, low, high, and then opening. Each of these is compared with the value in the previous candle. I assigned the least importance to the opening, hence did not include it in the color determination. To make the colors memorable, I used a rainbow-like color scale; with purple representing the highest value and maroon the lowest. You can also change the colors if you wish. Additionally, if you want to set alarms, I assigned values to the candles; the highest being 16 and the lowest 1. A thicker barchart provides a better visual representation.
For instance, consider the monthly chart of the NASDAQ 100. After a prolonged positive trend, when our indicator shows a negative maroon bar (representing a low value) for the first time, it could signal a change in the trend direction. In this scenario, the appearance of the maroon bar serves as a crucial alert for investors to review their current positions or prepare for a potential downtrend. This indicator provides users with a significant advantage in identifying such critical turning points and assists them in quickly adapting to market dynamics.

Volume Candle DistributionThe Volume Candle Distribution (VCD) indicator examines the volume distribution across candle type, distinguishes between neutral, bullish and bearish volume pressures.
The VCD indicator calculates and displays the cumulative volume of bullish and bearish candles over a user-defined period, aggregates the volumes of bullish and bearish candles separately and plots them.
Bullish Volume : This is accumulated when the closing price of a candle is higher than the opening price, the VCD adds up the volume of bullish candle within the user-defined period, and consequently subtracts the volume when bearish candle.
Bearish Volume : Conversely, when the closing price is lower than the opening price, the volume of that candle is considered bearish, the VCD sums the volume of bearish candles over the same period, and consequently subtracts the volume when bullish candle.
Neutral Volume : In cases where the opening and closing prices are equal, the volume of that candle is treated as neutral, and the VCD subtracts the volume from both candles.
The 3 Simple Moving Average (SMAs) included is based volume calculated separately for both bullish and bearish volume data, and the sum of them.
Trailing Candle CounterThis script is for users who like to monitor and/or analyze a specified number of candles within the time the last candle closed. Al Brooks fans may enjoy this indicator.
While searching for an indicator that already had this functionality I found a script by @Steversteves which counted the candles/percentage within a set period of time. This let me know it could be done. In honor of Steversteves I kept the table the same colors - although, I added code to allow the table to be modified.
When opening the script the user will need to set a begin/end time to analyze – don't worry as you can set anything you want and it can be altered after the script is running.
This image shows the settings for a user to be able to set a begin time and have the indicator count all the candles from that time through to the current time and update at each candle close. The user can move the beginning time as needed. This is useful if the user is monitoring the length of a trend, wedge, channel, etc.:
If the indicator is in view and the beginning time is on the chart the user can select the table to view/select/change the beginning time.
This image shows the settings for a user to monitor the last set of candles since the last candle closed. This is useful if the user expects a pullback after a set number of candles or expects some alteration in a trend within a set number of candles. In this case the user setting is to watch five candles:
This setting is the reason for my creation of this indicator. This image shows the settings for a user to monitor two sets of candles. In this case an additional set of five candles has been added to the original set of five candles:
If one is watching for movements to last a certain number of bars when the first bar of the movement is exiting the background color the user can expect a change in the price momentum.
This image shows the same functionality as in Steversteves original script (although, I used almost none of his original code). The user can set a begin time and end time to analyze the number or red/green candles and the percentage of each within that time period.
If the indicator is in view and the beginning and end times are on the chart the user can select the table to view/select/change the times.
I hope you find this useful and if you have any questions/comments/suggestions for improvement please comment below.

Candle Sentiment Volume FlowCandle Sentiment Volume Flow (CSVF)
NOTE: The indicator showcased in the 1H chart is utilized on the ticker 'SPY'.
The Candle Sentiment Volume Flow (CSVF) is a custom trading indicator designed to analyze and visualize the momentum and volume flow of a financial instrument within a specified range of candles in a chart. It provides traders with a snapshot of the prevailing market sentiment by calculating the percentage of green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles and the volume associated with them over a defined range of periods (X Range).
Core Components:
1. Candle Counting:
- Green Count: Total number of green (bullish) candles in the defined range.
- Red Count: Total number of red (bearish) candles in the defined range.
2. Volume Calculation:
- Green Volume: Cumulative volume of green candles.
- Red Volume: Cumulative volume of red candles.
3. Percentage Calculation:
- Green Percentage: (Green Count / X Range) * 100
- Red Percentage: (Red Count / X Range) * 100
- Green Volume Percentage: (Green Volume / Total Volume) * 100
- Red Volume Percentage: (Red Volume / Total Volume) * 100
4. User-Defined Parameters:
- Candle Range (X Range): Number of candles to be considered for calculations.
- Green Threshold: User-defined percentage to identify significant bullish sentiment.
- Red Threshold: User-defined percentage to identify significant bearish sentiment.
Visual Component:
- Table Display:
A table is displayed on the top right of the chart, providing a quick overview of the calculated percentages and total volume.
The table is color-coded for easy interpretation and includes:
- Green and Red Candle Percentages
- Green and Red Volume Percentages
- Total Volume
Functional Workflow:
- The indicator loops through the past 'X' candles within the defined range, counting the number of green and red candles and accumulating their respective volumes.
- It calculates the percentage of green and red candles and the percentage of volume associated with them.
- The calculated values are displayed in a table on the chart, providing a clear and concise view of the candle sentiment and volume flow within the specified range.
itradesize /\ Remaining Time - Candle close countdown A simple tool that displays the remaining time of M15, H1, H4, and D candles until they close.
Moreover, It works on all timeframes with all the exact data of the desired timeframe.
It can be such a useful tool when you using OHLC, AMD, and other theories. As you do not need to scrub back and forth through different timeframes to look for a bar close.
Notes:
• The Remaining Time Table only works in real time. It will show a “-“ sign, when you are in a replay mode.
This indicator has a Watermark section too where you can add your name/title/etc.. additionally, it shows the symbol, current timeframe, current date and you are able to customise them.
Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) [LuxAlgo]The Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) is a novel indicator highlighting trending/ranging intrabar candles and providing signals when the price breaks the extremities of a ranging intrabar candles.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator highlights candles with trending intrabar prices, with uptrending candles being highlighted in green, and down-trending candles being highlighted in red.
This highlighting is affected by the selected intrabar timeframe, with a lower timeframe returning a more precise estimation of a candle trending/ranging state.
When a candle intrabar prices are ranging the body of the candle is hidden from the chart, and one upper & lower extremities are displayed, the upper extremity is equal to the candle high and the lower extremity to the candle low. Price breaking one of these extremities generates a signal.
The indicator comes with two modes, "Trend Following" and "Reversal", these modes determine the extremities that need to be broken in order to return a signal. The "Trend Following" mode as its name suggests will provide trend-following signals, while "Reversal" will aim at providing early signals suggesting a potential reversal.
🔶 DETAILS
To determine if intrabar prices are trending or ranging we calculate the r-squared of the intrabar data, if the r-squared is above 0.5 it would suggest that lower time frame prices are trending, else ranging.
This approach allows almost obtaining a "settings" free indicator, which is uncommon. The intrabar timeframe setting only controls the intrabar precision, with a timeframe significantly lower than the chart timeframe returning more intrabar data as a result, this however might not necessarily affect the displayed information by the indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Intrabar Timeframe: Timeframe used to retrieve the intrabar data within a chart candle. Must be lower than the user chart timeframe.
Auto: Select the intrabar timeframe automatically. This setting is more adapted to intraday charts.
Mode: Signal generation mode.
Filter Out Successive Signals: Allows removing successive signals of the same type, returning a more easily readable chart.
YinYang Bar ForecastOverview:
YinYang Bar Forecast is a prediction indicator. It predicts the movement for High, Low, Open and Close for up to 13 bars into the future. We created this Indicator as we felt the TradingView community could benefit from a bar forecast as there wasn’t any currently available.
Our YinYang Bar Forecast is something we plan on continuously working on to better improve it, but at its current state it is still very useful and decently accurate. It features many calculations to derive what it thinks the future bars will hold. Let’s discuss some of the logic behind it:
Each bar has its High, Low, Open and Close calculated individually for highest accuracy. Within these calculations we first check which bar it is we are calculating and base our span back length that we are getting our data from based on the bar index we are generating. This helps us get a Moving Average for this bar index.
We take this MA and we apply our Custom Volume Filter calculation on it, which is essentially us dividing the current bars volume over the average volume in the last ‘Filtered Length’ (Setting) length. We take this decimal and multiply it on our MA and smooth it out with a VWMA.
We take the new Volume Filtered MA and apply a RSI Filter calculation on it. RSI Filter is where we take the difference between the high and low of this bar and we multiply it with an RSI calculation using our Volume Filtered MA. We take the result of that multiplication and either add or subtract it from the Volume Filtered MA based on if close > open. This makes our RSI Filtered MA.
Next, we do an EMA Strength Calculation which is where we check if close > ema(close, ‘EMA Averaged Length’) (Setting). Based on this condition we assign a multiplier that is applied to our RSI Filtered MA. We divide by how many bars we are predicting and add a bit to each predictive bar so that the further we go into the future the stronger the strength is.
Next we check RSI and RSI MA levels and apply multiplications based on its RSI levels and if it is greater than or less than the MA. Also it is affected by if the RSI is <= 30 and >= 70.
Finally we check the MFI and MFI MA levels and like RSI we apply multiplications based on its MFI levels and if it is greater than or less than the MA. It is also affected by if the MFI is <= 30 and >= 70.
Please note the way we calculate this may change in the future, this is just currently what we deemed works best for forecasting the future bars. Also note this script uses MA calculations out of scope for efficiency but there is potential for inconsistencies.
Innately it’s main use is the projection it provides. It only draws the bars for realtime bars and not historical ones, so the best way to backtest it is with TradingView’s Replay Tool.
Well, enough of the logic behind it, let's get to understanding how to use it:
Tutorial:
So unfortunately we aren’t able to plot legit bars/candles into the future so we’ve had to do a bit of a work around using lines and fills. As you can see here we have 4 Lines and 3 Zones:
Lines:
Green: Represents the High
Orange: Represents the Open
Teal: Represents the Close
Red: Represents the Low
Zones:
High Zone: This zone is from either Open or Close to the High and is ALWAYS filled with Green.
Open/Close Zone: This zone is from the Open to the Close and is filled with either Green or Red based on if it's greater than the previous bar (real or forecasted).
Low Zone: This zone is from either Open or Close to the Low and is ALWAYS filled with Red.
As you can see generally the Forecasted bars are generally within strong pivot locations and are a good estimation of what will likely go on. Please note, the WHOLE structure of the prediction can change based on the current bars movements and the way it affects the calculations.
Let's look 1 bar back from the current bar just so we can see what it used to Forecast:
As you can see it has changed quite a bit from the previous bar, but if you look close, we drew horizontal lines around where its projecting the next bar to be (our current realtime bar), if we go back to the live chart:
Its projections were pretty close for the high and low. Generally, right now at least, it does a much better job at predicting the high and low than it does the open and close, however we will do our best to fine tune that in future updates.
Remember, this indicator is not meant to base your trades on, but rather give you a Forecast towards the general direction of the next few bars. Somewhat like weather, the farther the bar (or day for weather), the harder it is to predict. For this reason we recommend you focusing on the first few bars as they are more accurate, but review the further ones as they may help show the trend and the way that pair will move.
We will conclude this tutorial here, hopefully this Predictive Indicator can be of some help and use to you. If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns please let us know.
Settings:
Forecast Length: How many bars should we predict into the Future? Max 13
Each Bar Length Multiplier: For each new Forecast bar, how many more bars are averaged? Min 2
VWMA Averaged Length: All Forecast bars are put into a VWMA, what length should we use?
EMA Averaged Length: All Forecast bars are put into a EMA, what length should we use?
Filtered Length: What length should we use for Filtered Volume and RSI?
EMA Strength Length: What length should we use for the EMA Strength
HAPPY TRADING!
blackOrb PriceblackOrb's Aspiration: Enhancing the Functionality of Area Charts
At its core, an area chart analysis serves as the foundational structure for blackOrb Price. Area charts can be seen as an addition to conventional price charts. Unlike price line charts, which connect closing prices with lines, an area chart fills the space between high and low prices, creating a visual representation of price ranges. This approach can offer several advantages, particularly in assessing price volatility and price dynamics.
A wider area between high and low suggests high volatility, while a narrower area indicates lower volatility. The orientation of the closing price concerning the high-low range provides insights into whether buyers or sellers are exerting influence on the market.
Combined with the following elements, this chart tool can support comprehensive data-driven trading analysis:
- Integrated moving averages for price dynamic insights
- Zigzag pivot identification for price level insights
- Stochastic lookback analysis for turning point insights
- Ghost mode for comparative insights
Technical Methodology
I. Integrated Moving Averages for Price Dynamic Insights
Incorporating various MA alternatives allows traders to gain insights into not only price dynamics but also their underlying strength, which is reflected in trading activity. This strength is visually depicted by the derived price line within blackOrb's Price Area Chart.
Among the array of MA alternatives, VWMA stands out as a suitable implementation choice for integrating volume data. It goes beyond the scope of a simple moving average, considering both price and volume in its calculation, as shown in the following formula:
(C1 x V1 + C2 x V2 + ... + CN x Vn) / (V1 + V2 + ... + Vn)
II. Zigzag Pivot Identification for Price Level Insights
Zigzag Pivot Identification can be a valuable tool for recognizing possible price movements and potential turning points. It operates by pinpointing pivotal moments where prices alter their course. Essential components of this method involve comparing time units both to the left and right within a designated price dynamic phase, effectively defining the search range for pivotal points.
For instance, in the analysis below, the search is for the highest price point that hasn't been surpassed in the last 10 time units to the left and 10 time units to the right:
ta.pivothigh(10, 10)
The lookback variables analyze price points by simultaneously examining a specified number of time units before and after a potential pivot point as the central reference. A pivot is identified when a price point remains unbreached throughout this period.
Note: This method retroactively validates structures, implying that this tool may redraw or adjust its values as price data evolves. This leads to inconsistency and a lack of predictability.
III. Stochastic Lookback Analysis for Turning Point Insights
The stochastic calculation methodology of this feature centers around the following formula:
100 * (close - lowest(low, length)) / (highest(high, length) - lowest(low, length))
This key formula employs a stochastic calculation methodology that assesses the percentage deviation of the closing price from the lowest low over a specified timeframe (length), relative to the span between the highest high and the lowest low. The outcome is normalized within a range of 0 to 100, providing insights into the relative position of the closing price within the high-low range. Traders can define the specific periods over which the stochastic calculation is performed.
Based on this stochastic analysis, the indicator integrates area chart coloring, affording users the flexibility to adjust the sensitivity of area chart coloring according to customized stochastic look-back evaluation phases. Consequently, the coloration by length evaluation can mirror a comprehension of market dynamics.
Note: However, it's important to recognize that the efficacy of evaluation coloring might be compromised during periods of lateral price movement, characterized by less prominent market trends.
IV. Ghost Mode for Comparative Insights
Unveiling convergences and divergences, the Ghost Mode overlays two price charts, which can reveal price trajectories and reactions (e.g. Apple stock's potential response to the NASDAQ 100 Technology Sector Index).
Note: This approach may not capture nuanced correlations during intricate market scenarios.
Note on Usability
This tool is an intricately designed area chart, meticulously created to serve as a fundamental canvas for the seamless integration of other more granular trading indicators.
blackOrb Price can have synergies with blackOrb Candle as both indicators combined can give a bigger picture for supporting comprehensive and multifaceted data-driven trading analysis.
This indicator isn't intended for standalone trading application. Instead, it offers an alternative approach to traditional area charts, serving as a supplementary tool for orientation within broader trading strategies. Irrespective of market conditions, it can harmonize with a wider range of trading styles and instruments/trading pairs/indices like Stocks, Gold, EURUSDSPX500, GBPUSD, BTCUSD and Oil.
Inspiration and Publishing
Taking genesis from the inspirations amongst others provided by TradingView Pine Script Wizard Kodify, blackOrb Price is a multi-encompassing script meticulously forged from scratch. It aspires to furnish a comprehensive area chart approach, borne out of personal experiences and a strong dedication in supporting the trading community. We eagerly await valuable feedback to refine and further enhance this tool.
blackOrb CandleAddressing the Shortcomings of Conventional Candle Charts
I. Surmounting Volatility Challenges
In the realm of combined heightened or subdued volatility and erratic market conditions, traditional candlestick charts are susceptible to deficiencies in isolating extraneous data noise (e.g. high/low wicks, given their frequent incongruity with pivotal market dynamics or arbitrary green/red coloring of candle bodies).
II. Precision in Application
Novice traders may erroneously construe and misemploy traditional candlestick patterns, culminating in erroneous trading determinations. In addressing this challenge, this indicator can help to identify critical signal confluences, enhancing potential signals accuracy.
III. Strategy at the Core
Relying solely on candlestick charts lacks potency without an underpinning well-knit strategy. blackOrb's methodology integrates discernment of pivotal chart configurations with the meticulous construction of comprehensive strategies to mirror a comprehension of potential market dynamics.

Candle Size w/ SMAThis simple indicator calculates the absolute size of the candle by the open and close or high and low values and then plots it on a histogram. It also features a simple moving average with a customizable lookback to track the average candle size based on your lookback.
This indicator can be used to spot unusually large or small candles. And can also be used for testing other strategies or indicators related to candle sizes.
Candle Tick SizeHello everyone!
I dont think it exists, I couldnt find it any way I searched, maybe it is part of a bigger indicator. This is a really basic code, all it does, it shows the tick/pip size of the candles forming. You can adjust on how many candles should it show. Also because the code counts the point size of the candles from high to low, you can adjust that how many ticks are in one point, like for ES and NQ 4 ticks to a point, which is the basic setting. It helps me with entrys when I calculate the contract size so my risk/reward stays pretty much the same depending on the candle size for my entrys.
Boring Candles by BitcoinBailyBoring candlestick is a candlestick whose body is less than 50% of its total candlestick range, this candle is usually small in size.
This indicates that the price range between the open and close of this candle was relatively small, and that there was not a lot of volatility during that time period.
Lower timeframe chartHi all!
I've made this script to help with my laziness (and to help me (and now you) with efficiency). It's purpose is to, without having to change the chart timeframe, being able to view the lower timeframe bars (and trend) within the last chart bar. The defaults are just my settings (It's based on daily bars), so feel free to change them and maybe share yours! It's also based on stocks, which have limited trading hours, but if you want to view this for forex trading I suggest changing the 'lower time frame' to a higher value since it has more trading hours.
The script prints a label chart (ASCII) based on your chosen timeframe and the trend, based on @KivancOzbilgic script SuperTrend The printed ASCII chart has rows (slots) that are based on ATR (14 bars) and empty gaps are removed. The current trend is decided by a percentage of bars (user defined but defaults to 80%, which is really big but let's you be very conservative in defining a trend to be bullish. Set to 50% to have the trend being decided equally or lower to be more conservative in defining a trend to be bearish) that must have a bullish SuperTrend, it's considered to be bearish otherwise. Big price range (based on the ATR for 14 bars) and big volume (true if the volume is bigger than a user defined simple moving average (defaults to 20 bars)) can be disabled for faster execution.
The chart displayed will consist of bars and thicker bars that has a higher volume than the defined simple moving average. The bars that has a 'big range' (user defined value of ATR (14 days) factor that defaults to 0.5) will also have a wick. The characters used are the following:
Green bar = ┼
Green bar with large volume = ╪
Green bar wick = │
Red bar = ╋
Red bar with large volume = ╬
Red bar wick = ┃
Bar with no range = ─
Bar with no range and high volume = ═
Best of trading!

ATR VisualizerAdvance Your Market Analysis with the True Range Indicator
The True Range Indicator is a sophisticated screener meticulously developed to bolster your trading execution by presenting an exceptional understanding of the market direction. The centerpiece of this instrument is a distinctive candle configuration depicting the Average True Range (ATR) and the Bear/Bull range. However, it traverses beyond the conventional channels to offer specific market settings to boost your trading decisions.
User-Defined Settings
Broadly, the indicator offers five dynamic settings:
Bear/Bull Range
The Bear/Bull Range outlines the ATR for each candle type - bearish and bullish - and then smartly opts for the pertinent one based on the prevalent market circumstances. This feature aids in comparing the range of bullish and bearish candlesticks, which deepens your understanding of the price action and volatility.
Bearish Range
The Bearish Range isolates and computes the ATR for bearish candles solely. Utilizing this option spots the bear-dominated periods and provides insights about potential market reversals or downward continuations.
Bullish Range
Opposite to the Bearish Range, the Bullish Range setting tabulates the ATR exclusively for bullish candles. It assists in tracking the periods when bulls control, enlightening traders about the possibility of upward continuations or trend reversals.
Average Range
The Average Range provides an unbiased measure of range without prioritizing either bull or bear trends. This model is ideal for traders looking for a holistic interpretation of market behavior, regardless of direction.
Cumulative Average Range
Equally significant is the Cumulative Average Range which calculates the aggregate moving average of the true ranges for an expressed period. This setting is extremely valuable when evaluating the long-term volatility and spotting potential breakouts.
Dual Candle Configuration
Going a step ahead, the True Range Indicator uniquely offers the possibility to incorporate more than one candle estimate on your screen. This ensures simultaneous analysis of multiple market dynamics, thereby enhancing your trading precision multifold.
Concluding Thoughts
In essence, the True Range Indicator is an indispensable companion for traders looking to not only leverage market volatility but also make educated predictions. Equipped with an array of insightful market settings and the ability to display dual candle estimates on-screen, you can customize the functionality to suit your unique trading style and magnify your market performance dramatically.
Z-Score CandlesThe Z-Score Candles indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It utilizes the concept of the Z-score, which measures the deviation of a data point from its mean in terms of standard deviations.
By applying a sigmoid transformation to the Z-score values of the price candles, this indicator provides a visual representation of the market sentiment. The resulting sigmoid candles offer a clearer view of potential trend reversals and market extremes.
Parameters:
Length: The length parameter determines the number of bars used in the calculations. A higher value results in a smoother representation of the Z-scores, while a lower value makes the indicator more responsive to short-term price movements.
Features:
Sigmoid Function: The indicator incorporates a sigmoid function to transform the Z-score values, making them more suitable for visual analysis.
Original Price Candles: The indicator plots the sigmoid candles, representing the open, high, low, and close values of the price action. Green candles indicate a positive sentiment (szopen < szclose), while red candles indicate a negative sentiment (szopen >= szclose).
Oversold and Overbought Areas: The indicator creates horizontal lines at 0.1 and 0.9 on the y-axis, representing oversold and overbought levels, respectively. Additionally, it adds shaded areas to highlight the extreme regions.
Usage: Traders can utilize the Z-Score Candles indicator to identify potential market turning points, reversals, and overextended price levels. When the sigmoid candles reach the oversold or overbought areas, it may suggest a possible trend reversal or the initiation of a new trend.
Note: This indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading decisions.
Hourly Ranges @joshuuuThis indicator creates a statistic to track the average range per hourly candle.
Distribution for bullish candles is the range between open to high.
Manipulation for bullish candles is the range between open to low.
Distribution for bearish candles is the range between open to low.
Manipulation for bearish candles is the range between open to high.
It has the option to filter specific days to see if price behaves differently depending of the day of the week. monday in the menu is 2, tuesday number 3, wednesday number 4, ...
It has the option to show the range in pips (for forex) or points (for indices).
One can use that data to find the hour with the biggest range to try to catch the greatest range.
Period Candle CounterThis is a very simple utility indicator.
Shockingly nothing similar was available and I really needed something to quickly count period lengths by candles (to make adjustments to indicators based on a desired lookback timeframe), so I created this.
I thought I would share it because chances are if I needed something like this, other people may need it, too.
What it does:
Its really simple and this really truly is just a utility indicator that gives you raw information to make adjustments to other indicators. It just counts the number of candles in a user defined period of time.
It will count the number of red candles, green candles and then display the total candle count.
It will also display in percent (i.e. 52% green candles vs 48% red candles, etc.).
Its point and click, so once launched you just click the area you want to start the count and click the area you want to end the count.
Purpose:
Personally, I use it to make adjustments to timeframe lengths on indicators that look at averages and also on my time series indicator. If I want the price average or range for a specific period in time (say, the past 1.5 days of an uptrend), I will use this to count the candles in that period so that I can manually adjust whichever indicator to the correct lookback length, as most indicators are adjusted by candle length (i.e. 1 candle, 2 candles, 3 candles, etc.)
And that's it, pretty straight forward. Honestly pretty boring but its actually really pivotal for me to make adjustments to certain indicators.
Hope you find it helpful, too!
Safe trades!
TWA - HTF Candle ColorOverview:
This indicator is designed to assist trend traders by confirming the market's direction on a higher timeframe and providing overlays to determine the strength and longevity of the current trend. Its goal is to help traders develop a probability-based mindset, enabling them to remain in profitable trades for longer periods and to identify when the trend might be shifting.
Main features and how to use:
The main feature of the indicator is the green and red coloring of the candles. The candles can be used to determine market direction and use that bias to pick a trading direction. The contrarian candle overlay is another useful feature that helps trend traders identify potential trend reversals. To use this feature, traders should wait until the overlay candle coloring "clicks off" to determine the probability that the current move has reached its peak or bottom and to look for a larger retracement. The unique flexibility of this feature allows trend traders to see both sides of the story.
Calculations and what makes this original:
- It finds breaks of common fibonacci retracement and extension values on a higher time frame using my proprietary williams % R indicator to find
trend direction
- To help add more confirmation to trend direction the proprietary algorithm combines the above fibonacci breaks with confirmation from price
breaking beyond multiple deviations measured from bollinger bands.
- From your current charts timeframe it automatically calculates which higher timeframe to analyze.
- The above algorithm from the higher timeframe is distilled down to a green or red candle color on the chart to show market direction.
- It uses a blend of rsi and CCI to calculate contrarian candle coloring to show trend exhaustion.
Additional features
Contrarian candle coloring:
The contrarian candle coloring feature is designed to help trend traders see possible reversals. It overlays a different candle color on top of the HTF candles at certain periods. The unique feature of this addition is its ability to transform a trend-following indicator into a tops and bottom reversion indicator all in one. This flexibility allows traders to see both the contrarian and trend-following perspectives.
Enhanced probability:
This feature helps traders determine the probability of their potential trades long-running potential by changing the background color to green or red. Traders can use this information to help define their risk per trade. For example, if the candle coloring matches the background color, they might choose a long-running move, whereas if the candle coloring does not match the background color, they might opt for a scalping trade. The unique feature of this addition is how it gives traders the ability to view the market from different perspectives all on one screen.
Use Alternate Symbol:
Allows for the candle color to be derived from a separate symbol than the current chart .
Candle Color as Line:
Plots a line across the top or bottom of the chart showing the current color which allows users the ability to use an additional indicator that colors candles.
Contrarian Color as Line:
Plots a line across the top or bottom of the chart showing the current candle color which allows users the ability to use an additional indicator that colors candles.
Candle Color as Background:
Colors the chart background the color of the current HTF candle color which allows users the ability to use an additional indicator that colors candles.
Increase Market Sensitivity:
Quickens the response time for candles to change color which can be helpful for scalping on 1 minute charts.
ALERTS
- Get an alert when the candle color changes to green or red
-Get an alert when the enhanced probability color changes to green or red
-Get an alert when the candle color and enhanced probability color align green or red
The Golden Candlestick PatternThe Golden pattern is a three-candlestick configuration based on a variation of the golden ratio (2.618) from the Fibonacci sequence.
The bullish Golden pattern is composed of a normal bullish candlestick with any type of body, followed by a bigger bullish candlestick with a close price that is at least 2.618 times the size of the first candlestick (high to low). Finally, there must be an important condition that is, a third candlestick that comes back to test the open of the second candlestick from where the entry is given.
The bearish Golden pattern is composed of a normal bearish candlestick with any type of body, followed by a bigger bearish candlestick with a close price that is at least 2.618 times the size of the first candlestick (high to low). Finally, there must be an important condition that is, a third candlestick that comes back to test the open of the second candlestick from where the entry is given.
CandlesticksIndicator that identifies the classical candlestick patterns for markets that are open 24/7 like the crypto market.
Why? because those markets don't gap, so many patterns won't need to gap to be valid.
Also, the theoretical rules about the patterns are very strict but it is to the discretion of the trader or technical analyst to decide if the patterns are yet valid. This is how Steve Nison uses candlesticks, i.e. a hammer is still valid if it has a small upper shadow, a marubozu is still valid if it has tiny shadows, etc.
So, for each candlestick pattern there are tolerance parameters so you can decide what is an acceptable upper shadow size for a hammer etc. I have set them to my liking but you might want to adjust them which is totally fine.
Additional features:
-to avoid the clutter, decide how many candles have to be analyzed
-use a trend filter based on the ema 5 (you can change the value) so you only see reversal patterns relevant to the trend
-plot pivots (swings HL)
-volume confirmation: bearish signals don't need volume confirmation as prices fall off their own weight. But volume confirmation for bullish price action can serve as added confluence. You have a setting that allows you to decide how many times the volume needs to be bigger than the previous candle's volume : if you have a bullish candlestick pattern printed, if the volume is1.5 times bigger than the previous candle then you will have a shape plotted at the bottom of your chart
-there is a cheap vs expensive feature that colors the bars
-you can also color the background so you see the oversold/overbought RSI
-finally, there are a couple of custom signals
"RULES" ABOUT CANDLESTICKS
-this is not a system in itself, but combined with other candlesticks (cluster of candlesticks), volume, oscillators, trend lines, support and resistances, bollinger bands can give amazing results and that is where the magic is
-most candlesticks can establish a support or resistance or confirm one
-a reversal candlestick doesn't mean that market will shoot the other direction right away, trend changes occur usually slowly and the trend might not reverse but convert in a period of sideways. It shouldn't actually be named reversal patterns but rather trend change patterns.
-reversal patterns need a trend to reverse (or change), in ranging markets you should ignore the signals
-you might think that there are many false signals, you need to understand that they are early warnings and the next candle's close is of major importance. A hammer at the end of a downtrend isn't enough to enter a position, you will have to wait for the next candle to close above the high of the hammer to validate the bullish reversal and vice versa.
-some signals are based on 1 candle only (like the hammer) others on 2 candles (like the engulfing pattern), others on 3 and more (tower top, morning star, etc). Patterns based on multiple candles have more probability.
-you might want to wait for price to revisit the support created by the pattern (read below) to get a better entry
-candles do not provide price targets
-long lower shadows is bullish, long upper shadows is bearish, small bodies (spinning tops, stars, dojis) means indecision and market is vulnerable to a trend change and the color of the body is irrelevant, declining size of bodies means trend strength weakening
HAMMER
stop-loss under the lower shadow
lower shadow can become a potential support or confirm an existing support
ENGULFING
with bearish engulfing pattern use the highest high of the 2 candles as a resistance, and with bullish engulfing pattern use the lowest low as support
DARK CLOUD COVER
use the highest high of the 2 candles as resistance
PIERCING PATTERN
use the lowest low of the 2 candles as support
MORNING STAR
use the lowest low of the 3 candles as support
the smaller the body of the 2nd candle the more potent the signal
for traditional markets, an ideal morning star would have a gap between 2nd and 3rd candles' bodies
EVENING STAR
use the highest high of the 3 candles as resistance
the smaller the body of the 2nd candle the more potent the signal
HARAMI
the smaller the size of the candle the more potent the signal
TWEEZERS
very important signals by themselves on weekly and monthly charts
for daily and intraday signals, it is potent only if it meets additional criterias (1st candle long, 2nd short, a candle pattern with with same highs or lows)
BELT-HOLD
they are more important if they confirm a support or resistance or another belt-hold or if they have not appeared for a while.
3 BLACK CROWS AND 3 WHITE SOLDIERS
candles 1 and 2 should act as support for the 3WS and as resistance for the 3BC
RISING AND FALLING 3 METHODS
stop-loss is the low of the 1st candle that started the rising 3 methods
stop-loss is the high of the 1st candle that started the falling 3 methods
ideally 1st and last candles have the strongest volume
DOJI
signal is reinforced by subsequent candles, if market is oversold or overbought, if the market doesn't have many doji on the chart, if market is at an important junction, if there are other technical alerts
doji after a tall candle are especially potent, the highest high of the 2 candles is the resistance
doji are especially potent after an uptrend, less so after a downtrend
gavestone doji is a bearish signal
dragonfly doji is a bullish signal
long-legged doji is a confused market
CUSTOM
*1st signal is a continuation pattern based on the progression of bodies' sizes and/or shadows' sizes
*following ones are reversal patterns based on the progression of bodies' sizes and/or shadows' sizes
*early reversal is based on a "secret" excess signal
reversal confirmed is when the early reversal's excess resolves and price reintegrates the non-excess area + prints a custom reversal pattern
for both early reversal and reversal confirmed the same rule applies as with any candlestick signal: we wait for the next candle's close above the previous upper shadow (bullish reversal) or below the previous lower shadow (bearish reversal)
*swings are 3 candles fractals, they are not reversal or continuation patterns but serve to mark swing highs and lows
this is all based on Steve Nison's book Japanese candlestick charting techniques

Thomas N. Bulkowski's Encyclopedia of candlestick charts
[TT] Entry ProIndicators doesnt make money, it is the concept behind the indicator that makes money. Please read and understand before contact. This is not for beginners or people who are looking for Buy Sell signals. Purely for those who can understand the concept of confluence.
This indicator will help you identify the Entry candle with confluence of SMC or Pivots or any other analysis that you use.
Rules to follow :-
1. Identify Support Resistance (Smart Money Concept), Pivots, Trendlines (Choice is Yours)
2. Once Identified S&R Look for Bearish Candle at resistance or Bullish signal at Support, mark the areas
NSE:NIFTY
3. At Support as shown above in examples if the pink candle or the confirmation candle doesnt close break the support but closes above the support area, we do not consider it as break down. Some time breakdown happens and then at retest we get the bearish signal, that will be a good entry.
4. Like wise at resistance if you cant see a bullish signal breaking the resistance area, we do not consider break out. Same as above sometimes we get a signal after breakout and while retesting. Bullish SIgnal At support example is given below
NSE:BANKNIFTY
5. Enter in to a trade right when you get the signal use less lot size when you do and once you see price coming in to the range of the colored candle keep accumulating more at OHLC areas, first at high of colored candle and then close and then HL2 areas likewise, this helps to reduce your SL.
Note:
Areas to remember and not to get confused. At Important levels (Support or Resistance) once you get a relavent signal while retesting that signal you get a counter signal do not get confused by that and exit the trade. once you enter a trade you have to remain there as long as your SL is not hit. Remember that You have to use this retest candles to enter in to a trade, but not to get scared.
How to Use this in Swing or Long term trading? Futures or Stocks !!!
Look at the setup below Use weekly Chart to analyze for investment. In the below chart you can see there is a breakout of Swing high with candle and then a retest happened Twice but that area is intact. The best strategy to consider confluence is SMC. Thats what my perfect Setup is. You can use Orderblock to see if that orderblock is valid or not. Below you can see NSE:BANKNIFTY
Few more Stocks for Example. NSE:AXISBANK
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
OANDA:EURUSD
Strictly Not assuring any 100% results. You need to least be confident on one concept of trading to aquire results.
