Inside 4+ Candles Box (Entry + Target + SMA Stop Logic)🔍 What This Script Does
This indicator detects price compression areas using 4 or more consecutive inside candles, then draws a breakout box to visually highlight the range.
Once price closes above the box, a long entry marker is plotted, along with:
🎯 Target line at 1x box size above the breakout.
❌ Stop-loss at the box low or at a dynamic SMA-based level if the box is too large.
🧠 Why It’s Unique
This script combines inside bar compression, breakout logic, risk control, and visual clarity — all in one tool.
It also cancels the setup entirely if price closes below the box low before breakout, avoiding late or false entries.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Minimum inside candles (default = 4)
SMA length (used as stop if box is large)
Box size % threshold to activate smart stop
Entry, Target, and Stop marker colors
📌 Notes
For long setups only (no short signals).
Use on any asset or timeframe (ideal on 4H/1D).
This is not financial advice. Use with proper risk management.
Backtest thoroughly before live use.
Built with ❤️ by using Pine Script v6.
🇸🇦 وصف مختصر باللغة العربية:
هذا المؤشر يكتشف مناطق تماسك السعر من خلال 4 شموع داخلية أو أكثر، ثم يرسم مربعًا يحدد منطقة الاختراق المحتملة.
عند الإغلاق أعلى المربع، يتم عرض إشارة دخول وسطر هدف بنسبة 100% من حجم المربع.
كما يتم احتساب وقف الخسارة تلقائيًا إما عند قاع المربع أو عند متوسط متحرك ذكي (SMA) إذا كان حجم المربع كبيرًا.
الميزة الإضافية: إذا تم كسر قاع المربع قبل الاختراق، يتم إلغاء الصفقة تلقائيًا لتجنب الدخول المتأخر.

Volume Profile + Price Action Strategy (POC-based)This indicator combines volume dynamics, price action patterns, and a simplified Point of Control (POC) to highlight potential high-probability trade zones.
🔍 Key Features
POC-Based Logic
Plots the POC from the most recent closed 10-minute candle as a horizontal level for intraday structure.
Volume Spike Detection
Highlights unusual activity based on volume compared to the average of the last N candles.
Effort vs. Result Analysis
Based on Wyckoff-inspired logic:
Absorption: Large volume, small body → possible buyer/seller absorption
False Move: Small volume, large body → potential fakeout
Price Action Recognition Detects:
Inside Bars
Pin Bars
Engulfing Candles
Signal Highlights
🔺 Absorption Signals (below bar, teal triangle)
🔻 False Move Signals (above bar, orange triangle)
🔷 POC Line
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
You can control signal sensitivity with these inputs:
Volume Spike Multiplier
Raise to filter only extreme volume spikes
→ Recommended: 2.0 to 3.0 for cleaner setups
Absorption Body Ratio
Lower to detect only very small bodies (tight candles)
→ Try 0.3 to 0.4 for stricter absorption logic
False Move Body Ratio
Raise to catch only large candles on low volume
→ Use 2.0+ to filter weak moves

[FR]Custom Candles/FVG/nSideBarCustom Candles /FVG/ nSideBar
- I used this as a learning project for understanding plot()'s Better
- My goal was to see if I could use normal plots to cleanly plot FVGs on the chart using only plots with out and boxes/lines
The problem was if multiple FVGs were on back to back bars the plot fill would fill the line to the next FVG/Bar
I solved this by using 4 plots and alternating them if consecutive FVGs form
- 2 MODES
- Slim
- Normal
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-Slim
Uses 3 plotcandle() parts and divides the candle between body/wicks/open and close
by manipulating the ohlc inputs and the colors I was able to pretty make them full customizable
all components are customizable with up/down colors
-Normal
These are your normal candles but they are full customize able from components to individual up/down colors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FVGs
There are 2 FVG settings can be used with both MODES
- Big
These are the FVGs that use plots and since there isn't a 500 object limit on plots you don't need to manage them in the code and they are there how ever far you need to look back
- Slim
These use a Line and the width of the line can be adjusted for user preferences
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSIDE-BARS
These will change the color of the body of either SLIM or NORMAL Candles

Drawing Snap Features Work Just Fine!
I suggest hiding your chart candles with the eye in the top left of the screen and moving the indicator to the top of your object tree
I understand that the candles in the chart pictures are impractical I was just demonstrating the functionality of the tool
Hope You Enjoy!!

Additions to the indicator:
1. 200 EMA Band (High-Low) added
2. Bottom left table - Shows All Time High/Lows (52 weeks) and % away we are from both. The values will not change in this table even if you change the timeframe.
3. Bottom center table - Performance matrix and a quick glance comparison with Nifty with different days of return. This will show if there outperformance or underperformance in the scripts and in which duration.
4. Top Right table - This indicator plots a table off to the right of the chart to help with determining timeframe continuity. A great edge is only taking trades where full timeframe continuity is in place (i.e. if you are going long, make sure other timeframes are also green).
Green candles have green colored boxes, red candles have red colored boxes.
Inside bars are represented by a circle - ⬤
Outside bars are represented by a tall rectangle - ▮
2-up bars are indicated by an up arrow - ▲
2-down bars are indicated by a down arrow - ▼

PA_PatternPrice Action Patterns
this script detects some of the favorite Price Action Pattern
For instance 3 pattern are available, you can select what pattern is shown in the configuration box :
- Engulfing
- Inside Bar
- Key Pin Bar (Key Pin Bar is Pin bar with a noise < 1/3 of the tail)
This script works on all time frame.
Keep in mind that Pattern detection is not a Price Action Strategy. Pattern have more weight in higher timeme.
In Next release
I willl try to add more Price Action pattern as Fakey, Tweezer, Marobozu, Rail Road Trail, ...

Engulfing Reversal Market PhaseStay at the right side of the market.
This indicator detects bullish and bearish phase in the market based on recent reversal.
It is designed to help filter your trades.
Open only long trades if indicator shows green and open only short trades when indicator shows red.
This indicator will detect bullish and bearish engulfing reversal pattern on the chart.
Bullish engulfing occurs when current candle closes below the bars that created the high.
Bearish engulfing occurs when current candle closes below the bars that created the high.
The reversal pattern occurs not only on a trend change, but can be also be present as a trend continuation pattern or a breakout pattern.
The indicator is able to detect 3 candle patterns and multi candle patterns if detects inside bars in the pattern.
SC New high/lowPlots a triangle above/below the candle/bar whenever the current one breaks the high or the low of the previous one.
A green triangle indicates the breakout of the previous high.
A red triangle indicates the breakout of the previous low.
Two yellow triangles (above and below the candle) indicate an Outside bar/candle.
Two blue triangles indicate an Inside bar/candle.
CPR-Based Fib S/R with Circles by Arthavidhi📌 **CPR-Based Fibonacci S/R with Circles – Description**
This indicator combines the power of **CPR (Central Pivot Range)** and **Fibonacci ratios** to plot highly probable intraday and swing Support/Resistance levels derived from the **daily price structure**.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
* It uses the **Daily High, Low, and Close** to calculate the **Pivot Point** (P) as:
`P = (High + Low + Close) / 3`
* Then it calculates the **daily range**:
`Range = High - Low`
* Using this pivot and range, it derives both **Fibonacci-based Support and Resistance levels**:
* **Support levels** at: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, 1.618 below pivot
* **Resistance levels** at: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, 1.618 above pivot
These are **plotted as small colored circles** on your chart, with **labels on the left** for easy identification of each Fib level (e.g., "0.382", "1.618").
---
### 📈 **How to Use It**
🔹 **Intraday or Swing Traders**:
* Use these levels to **anticipate reversals**, **breakouts**, or **targets**.
* The levels act like a **natural price magnet** — price tends to pause, bounce, or reverse near them.
🔹 **Entry/Exit Zones**:
* Combine with price action (like pin bars, engulfing, or inside bars) or volume near these levels to plan entries.
* **R1.618 and S1.618** are great for extended targets or aggressive reversal setups.
🔹 **CPR Center Line**:
* Acts as a key mean-reversion zone or midline. You can combine this with VWAP or RSI for confirmation.
---
### 🧩 **Best Practices**
* **Higher Timeframe Confluence**: Align this with HTF S/R or trendlines.
* **Use Alerts**: Combine this with price action alerting tools (manually or with separate indicators).
* **Do Not Use Alone**: For best results, combine with a strategy (e.g., Supply/Demand, VWAP bounce, Trendline breaks).
Candle Range Theory StrategyCandle Range Theory StrategyCandle Range Theory Strategy delves into the intricacies of price action analysis, focusing on the behavior of candlestick patterns within specific ranges. Traders employing this strategy aim to identify key support and resistance levels by analyzing the high and low points of significant candlesticks. The core principle lies in understanding that the range of a candle—defined by its opening, closing, high, and low prices—provides valuable insight into market sentiment and potential future movements.
To implement the Candle Range Theory Strategy effectively, one must first recognize the importance of different candle sizes. A long-bodied candle suggests strong momentum, pointing to a bullish or bearish bias, while a small-bodied candle indicates indecision or consolidation, often signaling potential reversals or breakouts. By plotting these candlesticks over a defined time frame, traders can ascertain whether the market is trending or range-bound.
Additionally, traders should consider the context in which these candles form. Analysis of the preceding price action can reveal whether current ranges are extensions of existing trends or indications of market fatigue. In particular, look for patterns such as engulfing candles, pin bars, or inside bars, as they often foreshadow forthcoming price fluctuations.
Moreover, combining the Candle Range Theory with other technical indicators, like moving averages or Fibonacci retracements, can offer a more comprehensive view of potential entry and exit points. By aligning candle patterns with broader market dynamics, traders can optimize their strategies, enhancing their probability of success while minimizing risk.
Lastly, maintaining a disciplined approach is crucial. Setting precise stop-loss and take-profit levels grounded in candle ranges can safeguard one's capital. Adhering to this framework allows traders to navigate the complexities of the market with greater confidence, ultimately leading to more informed and successful trading decisions. Embracing the nuances of Candle Range Theory not only sharpens analytical skills but also enriches one’s trading repertoire, paving the way for sustained profitability in the dynamic world of forex and equities.

==> How to trade, when the high/low of CRT is swept, move to LTF to wait for confirmation to enter the order
Only sell at high level and buy at discount price.
Find CE at specific important time. Trading CRT with HTF direction has better win rate.
The more inside bars, the higher the probability.
Place a partial and Move breakeven at 50% range.
Do a backtest and post your chart.
MGR Inside 2The inside bar pattern is characterised by two consecutive candlesticks that often suggest a period of consolidation or indecision in the market. Traders and analysts can find value in identifying the setup as it can provide insights into potential future price movements.
Average True Range Level█ Overview
The indicator uses color-coded columns to represent different levels of normalized ATR, helping traders identify periods of high or low volatility.
█ Calculations
The normalization process involves dividing the current True Range by the Average True Range. The formula for normalized ATR in the code is:
nAtr = nz(barRange/atr)
█ How To Use
Level < 1
During periods when the normalized ATR is less than 1, suggesting a lower level of volatility, traders may explore inside bar strategies. These strategies focus on trading within the range of the previous bar, aiming to capitalize on potential breakout opportunities.
Level between 1 and 3
In instances where the normalized ATR falls between 1 and 3, indicating moderate volatility, a pullback strategy may be considered. Traders look for temporary corrections against the prevailing trend, entering positions in anticipation of the trend's resumption
Level between 2 and 3
Within the range of normalized ATR between 2 and 3, signifying a balanced level of volatility, traders might explore breakout strategies. These strategies involve identifying potential breakout levels using support and resistance or other indicators and entering trades in the direction of the breakout.
Level > 3
When the normalized ATR exceeds 3, signaling high volatility, traders should approach with caution. While not ideal for typical mean reversion strategies, this condition may indicate that the price has become overextended. Traders might wait for subsequent candles, observing a normalized ATR between 2 and 3, to consider mean reversion opportunities after potential overpricing during the high volatility period.
* Note: These strategies are suggestions and may not be suitable for all trading scenarios. Traders should exercise discretion, conduct their own analysis, and adapt strategies based on individual preferences and risk tolerance.
Consolidation and Breakout (Inside Bars)Consolidation indicates moments of market indecision when there is no shift in price. It is neither positive nor negative. Usually, after a price burst or strong trend movement that market falls back into a phase when traders are cautious about possible overbought or oversold positions. During this period, market reconciles before another breakout or trend emerges. Once you have identified consolidation, the next step is to keep an eye on a possible breakout.
This indicator would be useful for Breakout traders.
A candle's high and low is marked and if consequent candle fails to close above or below the marked candle, it's considered as an inside bar.
This can help breakout traders in tackling fakeouts since the wick above or below the initial candle are neglected and only the candle close above or below the range are considered as breakout.
The Strat Numbers & CombosThis indicator is an all-in-one " The Strat " script. This script displays the following:
The Strat candle numbers (1's, 2's, & 3's)
The Strat Combo labels along with trigger line
Pivot Machine Gun ( PMG ) dynamic labels
Hammer & Shooter candle labels
The Strat Candle Numbers label each candle, on any timeframe, either a 1, 2, or 3. 1's are inside bars of the previous candles. 2's take out only one side of the previous candle. And 3's go outside both sides of the previous candle.
The Strat Combo labels (which are made of the 1's, 2's, 3's outlined above) display labels when a Strat Combo occurs. The script displays a label, direction arrow, and trigger line for each Strat Combo. This indicator finds the following Strat Combos:
2-1-2 bullish reversal (BLR)
2-1-2 bullish continuation (BLC)
3-1-2 BLR
3-2-2 BLR
1-2-2 rev strat BLR
2-2 BLR
2-1-2 bearish reversal (BRR)
2-1-2 bearish continuation (BRC)
3-1-2 BRR
3-2-2 BRR
1-2-2 rev strat BRR
2-2 BRR
Double inside candles
The Pivot Machine Gun (PMG) labels any 5 or more consecutive candles that make higher lows or 5 or more consecutive candles that make lower highs. A PMG can continue going in its direction or it can reverse and come back through the range. The logic in this indicator dynamically finds each level in a PMG and draws a line for easy identification.
The script also identifies if the candle type is a Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Shooting Star, or Hanging Man. These candle types are highly likely reversal points in price action.The indicator will plot a shape with a color coded icon identifying the candle. The distance between the shape and the candles can be manually adjusted in the inputs section.
This indicator has many style options . The user can independently toggle on/off the Strat numbers, boxes around the Strat Combos, and Hammer and Shooter shapes. Also all of the colors used in this script can be changed from the inputs section, so a user can easily change colors to match their current color scheme.
Strat + HL and LH counterStrat (i = inside bar, O = outside bar) plus lower high and higher low counter.
Coloring an inside barThis script colors the candles covered in the previous candle. The candle is colored. You can make many adjustments yourself.
Price ActionThis script is an alternative version of ChrisMoody's Price Action indicator, which is quite useful.
However, I found it a little intrusive with all the colors. I wanted something more subtle, so I made this.
The only difference is that this one uses shapes to highlight the candlestick patterns, and I dropped the Inside Bar indicator for simplicity.
