2 MA + Strat Candle ColorsThe "2 MA + Strat Candle Colors" indicator combines two customizable moving averages (MAs) with a strategic candle-coloring system to help traders analyze trends and price action. Here’s a breakdown of its features:
1. Two Moving Averages (MAs):
MA 1 & MA 2 Settings:
Users can select between 7 MA types for each line: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, LSMA, SMMA.
Adjustable periods and price sources (e.g., close, open) for both MAs.
Default settings: MA 1 = 9-period EMA, MA 2 = 20-period EMA.
Plotting:
MA 1 is blue, MA 2 is red (colors customizable via inputs).
Crossovers between the MAs can signal trend changes.
2. Strategic Candle Coloring:
Candles are colored based on their relationship to the previous candle:
Green (Bullish): "Two-Up Bar" – current high > prior high, and low does not break prior low.
Red (Bearish): "Two-Down Bar" – current low < prior low, and high does not break prior high.
Purple (Outside Bar): "Three Bar" – current candle engulfs the prior candle (higher high and lower low).
Yellow (Inside Bar): "One Bar" – current candle is contained within the prior candle’s range.
Candle coloring is based on:
Inside Candle ViewerInside Candle Viewer
What it’s meant for:
- This indicator is used to identify inside candles that might generate an upcoming trading range
- Works best on large timeframe (Suggested from 2 days up to 1 week) and crypto asset (Index don't show much because of daily gaps)
How it works:
- It check for daily close (or the chosen timeframe), highlight inside candles and also plot trading range limits generated by inside pattern
- Trading range limits extend until candle closes are within those limits
- Usually the longer the trading range last, the stronger the following trend is when it break in any direction
Settings:
- Change color of inside bars and enable/disable from chart
- Change color of trading range and enable/disable from chart
Alerts:
- No alerts are defined at the moment
Big Poppa Code Strat & Momentum Strategy IndicatorThis indicator is a combination of a few things in order to work with a unique trading style gleaned from Callme100k, jrgreatness, TrustMyLevels , FaithInTheStrat, Rob Smith and Saty Mahajan.
This Indicator is created to help you day trade using, ATR Fibonacci Levels, Price Action and Momentum.
It displays Fibonacci Levels Based on ATR to indicate when a security is 0.236, 0.382 +- the Days Open, +- the Days Open, 0.618 +- the Days Open and 1.0 +- Days Open.
To understand this script you need to understand
Average True Range (ATR)
1 Bar Inside Bar
2 Bar Outside Bar (Break either the top or bottom)
3 Bar Engulfing Bar
Strat Setups - 212, 322, 312
Fibonacci - 0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 1.0
Moving Averages
A Trend is considered bullish when (green)
Current Price is greater than the Fast EMA Value (8)
Fast EMA is greater than PIVOT EMA Value (21)
Pivot EMA is greater than SLOW EMA Value (34)
OR Hull is trending up and the Price is above the Volume Weighted Moving Average and price is above VWAP
A trend is considered Bearish when (red)
Current Price is less than the Fast EMA Value (8)
Fast EMA is less than PIVOT EMA Value (21)
Pivot EMA is less than SLOW EMA Value (34)
OR Hull is trending down and the Price is below the Volume Weighted Moving Average and price is below VWAP
If these conditions are not met then the Momentum is in Conflict (orange)
The Momentum band will match the color of the current trend
The table that is present can be turned off at any time lets you see
1) If Moving Averages are showing bullish, bearish or in conflict
2) If There us Time Frame Continuity, (if 5 min up, are all the other timeframes up also)
3) How much of the ATR have we moved on the day
4) Are we in Call or Put range for the day based on ATR Fib Levels
The Ideal situation for entering a call
1) Momentum is Green
2) FTFC on Green
3) A Strat Actionable Signal is present
4) You are in the call range, 0.236 - 0.618 ATR + the Price

Exit the trade for these reasons you entered (for profit or loss)
1) ATR has no more room
2) FTFC is now in conflict
3) Momentum has shifted
Take Profit when
1) You reach a new ATR Level 0.618, 1.0 , -0.618, -1, etc
Passive Stop Loss

Candlestick Trend Indicator v0.5 by JustUncleLRequested Update to this Indicator alert project. In this update I have added the option to be able select which Price Action candles you want included in the display and the generated alarm Alert. Other changes also included in this update:
Also added a Price Action candle for "Last Fractal S/R Break", this also a good continuation indication.
Added option to select a different moving average types for directional MA line.
Modified some default settings, using HullMA instead of Zero Lag EMA and standard MACD settings(12,26,9).
Description:
This is a trend following indicator and alert for Binary Options based on Candlestick patterns and trend line -
NOTE: original system was a forex trading system.
This code combines a number of indicators to create an overall trading strategy.
The indicator recognises and displays some useful candle named defined patterns that are used to support trend continuation:
Bearish + Bullish PinBars
Dark Cloud Cover
Piecing Line
Bullish + Bearish Harami
Bullish + Bearish Engulfing Candle
Bullish + Bearish Last Fractal S/R break
Also recognises main Price Action candles from ChrisMoody (CM), the four(4) price action patterns are colored coded bars:
Yellow = Inside Bar - breakout/continuance
Orange = Outside Bar - breakout/continuance
Aqua/Fuschia = Up/Down Shaved Bars - Buying/Selling pressure
Red/Green = Possible reversal PinBars - Reverse Down / reverse Up
The highlighted candles (maroon and darker green) represent the defined PA patterns that have been confirmed following the current trend direction that is indicated by the Hull MA(20) line (can select a different type of MA, or even disable) and confirmed by MACD direction (can be disabled). The confirmed Alerts are indication by green (buy) and red (sell) dots at the bottom of the chart. An alert is generated from this selection for the alert condition of the alarming system.
The fractal upper/lower break lines are also draw, if the (optional) last fractal break line is broken by a highlighted bar then this indicates a stronger trend conformation.
The MACD indicator MACD DEUTER 2 colour(12,26,9) you can visually see the MACD histogram colours with MACD direction - needs "MACD DEUTER 2 colour" indicator.
This multi-indicator set up is suitable for 1hr, 4hr and daily charts with 1-4 candle expiry.

BALUM SWINGThis Pine Script instrument delineates pivotal market inflections by synthesizing multi-factorial Gann-inspired vectoral assessments. The core computational engine operates through a recursive analysis of bar-to-bar price-time harmonics, meticulously classifying each period's dynamic signature based on Gann's foundational quadrilateral typologies (Ascendant, Descendant, Interior, and Exterior resonant states).
Inflection points are not merely identified by trivial maxima or minima; rather, they are precipitated by a critical phase-shift in the dominant directional eigenstate. The algorithm quantifies the cumulative energetic potential of successive resonant states. A confirmed pivot materializes only when the established directional momentum vector undergoes a significant angular displacement, triggered by the emergence of a contra-harmonic bar signature that overcomes the prevailing energetic threshold.
Interior resonant states (Inside Bars) are integrated as periods of temporal consolidation, their energetic signature absorbed into the prevailing directional vector without initiating immediate phase-reversal. Exterior resonant states (Outside Bars) are dynamically resolved based on their closing equilibrium point relative to their intrinsic energetic mean, contributing their weighted vector to the ongoing market dynamic.
The plotted lines thus represent the consequential pathways forged by these harmonically validated points of equilibrium shift, tracing the market's cyclical progression through its various energetic phases. The terminal, ephemeral projection visualizes the nascent vector of the current, unresolved energetic sequence.
TSCandleColor (The Strat)This indicator highlights 1 and 3 candles based on The Strat, created by Rob Smith. In The Strat, candles can only take one of 3 forms, an inside bar or a '1' where the high and low of the current candle are within the high and low of the previous candle, an outside bar or a '3' where the high and low of the current candle are outside of the previous bar, and a '2' bar where either the high or low of the current candle surpasses the previous candle but not both. Since '1' and '3' bars are key to many setups, this script highlights those candles. Highlighted colors are configurable by the user. This indicator further draws a line at the 50% mark of the previous candle for use in conjunction with the teachings of Sara Strat Sniper and her 50% rule. Her 50% rule states that when a '2' candle passes the 50% mark of the previous candle there is a high likelihood of that '2' candle becoming a '3'. Having this already drawn on the chart with each new candle makes it much easier to see this real-time. The color and style of the 50% line is also configurable.
Pullback IndicatorThe Pullback Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify pullbacks in the price action of a financial instrument. It is based on the concept that price tends to retrace to a previous level of support or resistance before continuing in the direction of the trend.
The indicator is plotted as a series of triangles above or below the price bars, depending on the type of pullback detected. A green triangle is displayed when a bullish pullback is detected, while a red triangle is displayed for a bearish pullback.
The Pullback Indicator uses Inside Bar Range, this number is a user-defined input that specifies the number of bars to look back for the highest high and lowest low.
The indicator classifies four types of pullbacks:
Swing Low - When the price forms a lower low and a higher low than the previous bar.
Swing High - When the price forms a higher high and a lower high than the previous bar.
High Low Sweep and close below - When the price forms a lower low and a higher low than the previous bar, but the close is below the previous high.
High Low Sweep and close above - When the price forms a higher high and a lower high than the previous bar, but the close is above the previous low.
The Pullback Indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm the direction of the trend and to identify potential entry and exit points.

Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements. By integrating the model with other critical trading concepts such as the Power of Three (PO3), Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC), and Turtle Soup setups, traders can enhance their ability to identify high-probability trades and achieve better trading outcomes.
Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames. Recognizing these states aids traders in determining the appropriate conditions for entering trades, particularly when combined with the power of three and candle range patterns. This understanding is crucial for positioning trades in alignment with market momentum.
High Probability Setups:
By aligning the 3 Candle Model with inside bar setups, traders can optimize their strategies for high-probability outcomes. This approach capitalizes on the inherent fractal nature of price movements, where previous patterns repeat at different scales. The combination of the model and inside bar setups enhances the trader's toolkit, allowing for more strategic trade placements.
Turtle Soup Formation:
The 3 Candle Model intricately connects with the Turtle Soup concept, which focuses on false breakouts. Identifying these formations at critical levels enhances the trader's ability to anticipate reversals or continuation patterns. The timing of these setups, particularly during specified times like 3:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 1:00 PM, is crucial for maximizing trade success.
Using the 3 Candle Model in Trading
Integration with PO3:
The Power of Three (PO3) is a fundamental aspect of the 3 Candle Model that emphasizes the significance of three distinct stages of price delivery. Traders can leverage this principle by observing the initial range, confirming patterns, and executing trades during the third phase, leading to higher risk-to-reward ratios. This three-stage approach enhances a trader's ability to make informed decisions based on market behavior.
Targeting Midpoints:
Successful application of the 3 Candle Model involves targeting the midpoints of identified ranges. This practice not only provides strategic entry points but also enhances the probability of reaching desired profit levels. By targeting these midpoints, traders can refine their exit strategies and manage risk more effectively.
Aligning with Market Timing:
Timing is everything in trading. By synchronizing the 3 Candle Model setups with the aforementioned key timeframes, traders can better position themselves to exploit market dynamics. This alignment also facilitates the identification of high-quality trades that exhibit strong potential for profitability.
Prioritizing A+ Setups:
By focusing on the 3 Candle Model and its associated concepts, traders can prioritize A+ setups that exhibit a strong alignment of factors. This methodical approach enhances the quality of trades taken, leading to improved overall performance. By cultivating a strategy centered on high-probability setups, traders can maximize their return on investment.
Ensuring Originality and Usefulness
To meet the TradingView community guidelines, it is essential that this script is both original and useful. The 3 Candle Model, in its essence, is designed to provide traders with a unique perspective on market movements, free from generic or rehashed strategies. This tool integrates unique interpretations of the three-candle model and the associated strategies that are distinctly articulated and innovative.
Practical Applications: there are many practical applications of the 3 Candle Model in various trading contexts. This model in conjunction with other strategies to cultivate high-probability trade setups that can enhance performance across diverse market conditions.
Educational Value: This script is crafted with educational value in mind, providing insights that extend beyond mere trading signals. It encourages users to develop a deeper understanding of market mechanics and the interplay between price action, time, and trader psychology.
Conclusion
The 3 Candle Model provides a comprehensive framework for traders to enhance their trading strategies in the futures and forex markets. By understanding and applying the principles of this model alongside the Power of Three, OHLC concepts, and Turtle Soup formations, traders can significantly improve their ability to identify high-probability trades. The emphasis on timing, delivery states, and alignment of ranges ensures that traders are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of market movements, ultimately leading to more consistent and rewarding trading outcomes.

TTrades Daily Bias [TFO]Inspired by @TTrades_edu video on daily bias, this indicator aims to develop a higher timeframe bias and collect data on its success rate. While a handful of concepts were introduced in said video, this indicator focuses on one specific method that utilizes previous highs and lows. The following description will outline how the indicator works using the daily timeframe as an example, but the weekly timeframe is also an included option that functions in the exact same manner.
On the daily timeframe, there are a handful of possible scenarios that we consider: if price closes above its previous day high (PDH), the following day's bias will target PDH; if price trades above its PDH but closes back below it, the following day's bias will target its previous day low (PDL).
Similarly, if price closes below its PDL, the following day's bias will target PDL. If price trades below its PDL but closes back above it, the following day's bias will target PDH.
If price trades as an inside bar that doesn't take either PDH or PDL, it will refer to the previous candle for bias. If the previous day closed above its open, it will target PDH and vice versa. If price trades as an outside bar that takes both PDH and PDL, but closes inside that range, no bias is assigned.
With a rigid framework in place, we can apply it to the charts and observe the results.
As shown above, each new day starts by drawing out the PDH and PDL levels. They start out as blue and turn red once traded through (these are the default colors which can be changed in the indicator's settings). The triangles you see are plotted to indicate the time at which PDH or PDL was traded through. This color scheme is also applied to the table in the top right; once a bias is determined, that cell's color starts out as blue and turns red once the level is traded through.
The table indicates the success rate of price hitting the levels provided by each period's bias, followed by the success rate of price closing through said levels after reaching them, as well as the sample size of data collected for each scenario.
In the above crude oil futures (CL1!) 30m chart, we can glean a lot of information from the table in the top right. First we may note that the "PDH" cell is red, which indicates that the current day's bias was targeting PDH and it has already traded through that level. We might also note that the "PWH" cell is blue, which indicates that the weekly bias is targeting the previous week high (PWH) but price has yet to reach that level.
As an example of how to read the table's data, we can look at the "PDH" row of the crude oil chart above. The sample size here indicates that there were 279 instances where the daily bias was assigned as PDH. From this sample size, 76.7% of instances did go on to trade through PDH, and only 53.7% of those instances actually went on to close through PDH after hitting that level.
Of course, greater sample sizes and therefore greater statistical significance may be derived from higher timeframe charts that may go further back in time. The amount of data you can observe may also depend on your TradingView plan.
If we don't want to see the labels describing why bias is assigned a certain way, we can simply turn off the "Show Bias Reasoning" option. Additionally, if we want to see a visual of what the daily and weekly bias currently is, we can plot that along the top and bottom of the chart, as shown above. Here I have daily bias plotted at the top and weekly bias at the bottom, where the default colors of green and red indicate that the bias logic is expecting price to draw towards the given timeframe's previous high or low, respectively.
For a compact table view that doesn't take up much chart space, simply deselect the "Show Statistics" option. This will only show the color-coded bias column for a quick view of what levels are being anticipated (more user-friendly for mobile and other smaller screens).
Alerts can be configured to indicate the bias for a new period, and/or when price hits its previous highs and lows. Simply enable the alerts you want from the indicator's settings and create a new alert with this indicator as the condition. There will be options to use "Any alert() function call" which will alert whatever is selected from the settings, or you can use more specific alerts for bullish/bearish bias, whether price hit PDH/PDL, etc.
Lastly, while the goal of this indicator was to evaluate the effectiveness of a very specific bias strategy, please understand that past performance does not guarantee future results.
[AlbaTherium] OptiStruct™ Premium for Smart Money Concepts An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:

This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with precision and heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure, Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks, Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars ) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap.
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps. It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market made a high wick up, taking out the buy-side liquidity, then made a bearish ChoCh. We place our sell order on the order block above IDM. This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed above the OB and a take profit set at the low of previous structure.

Engulfing and emaThis is a Pine Script script that helps you see the Engulfing Candlestick and Inside Bar (Boring Candle) candle patterns on the TradingView chart, as well as drawing two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Here's a simple explanation:
1. **Candle Pattern**:
- This script identifies the Engulfing Candlestick pattern, which indicates potential changes to the price. If this pattern is detected, the script will show a green (for buy) or red (for sell) arrow above or below that candle.
- The script also identifies the Inside Bar (Boring Candle), which indicates the period area in the market. This candle will be the color you choose (default is orange).
2. **Moving Average (EMA)**:
- This script also plots two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the chart. EMA is a tool that helps you see price trends more clearly.
3. **Risk Management**:
- This script calculates the Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels for each Engulfing pattern. This helps you manage your trading risks.
- Labels are displayed on the charts for SL and TP, so you know where to place them.
With the help of this script, you can easily identify important patterns in the market and manage your risks better. Make sure to choose a demo account before using it in real trading.
Compression support&resistance [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to present you Compression support&resistance script. The idea behind is to look for areas of price compression(inside bar candles). Basically the S/R lines are created after three candles that are formed in certain pattern and volume conditions. First candle of pattern is usually the most volatile and fist inside bar after volatile candle high and low creates S/R lines in order to look for breakouts or for future bounces of the S/R line. Also by default volume has to be decreasing from candle to candle, although this condition can be controlled by setting.
It has various settings as my other S/R scripts for multi timeframe analysis. The current timeframe uses line API but for multi timeframe I use plot lines. There are two filters. Volume filter for declining volume of the pattern candles and volatility filter which renders line only in case that pattern occurs after some % change has happened within some lookback period.
Credit also for this indicator goes to @berkek as he took time to explain it to me.
Hope you will enjoy it,
Lukas
Swing PointsAn indicator that identifies Swing Points (highs and lows) and then determines highs and lows of those swings. Works on all timeframes.
This is not my invention. It is a generic concept that I picked up from the trading world.
First level swings are termed as Short term Highs and Short term Lows (STH and STL)
The second level swings are termed as Long term Highs and Long term Lows (ITH and ITL)
An STH is formed when the 2nd high is higher than the highs on either side.
An ITH is formed when the 2nd STH is higher than the STH on either side.
Likewise logic for lows.
An example, A bullish trend can be expected if an ITH level is taken out after a ITL is formed after the ITH.
Inside bars: Inside bars are ignored. They can be marked, turned off by default.
Also, a "X" is placed over a swing point if two consecutive swings form simultaneously. This is turned off by default.
