Moving Average of Upper and Lower Wicks with optional smoothingIn the book, The New Technical Trader by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll there is a part that talks about candlestick analysis and how the wicks play a role on how the price will behave. When wick lengths increase then there could be uncertainty. Weakening of support and resistance levels can also be seen by the size of the candlestick wicks or shadows. Shoutouts to Mango2Juice from Tradingview and the The Academy of Forex for helping me out in making this and providing the moving averages function.
When combined with other indicators or strategies, I find that this increases their accuracy when used correctly. For those that believe in price action, this might be worth a try. The book has only a brief section on candlestick wicks but it is one of the most interesting ideas I found. The book likes to include a simple moving average in its indicators with a certain length to provide a smoothing type of effect or a sort of extra indicator for the other to be above to give off quicker signals at the cost of accuracy. For this indicator it acts as a smoothing type effect which I put in because it is hard to see the slope and direction of where the moving averages of the wicks are going. The type of moving averages to use and the correct lengths are questionable and are not explained well in the book. If anyone can figure out a good use for this or know better settings or tips, please let me know.
Wicks
Donchian WicksNote: This script does not perform well on its own and is meant to inspire other coders, just sharing it because why not :)
The idea is simple, highest only gets calculated for green candles, lowest only gets calculated for red candles. a yellow dot gets created when a candle gets below lowest line and closes bullish, vise versa for red dots.
Hope someone can use it.
Shadow MAShadow/Wick Moving Average
- Moving Average comparing top and bottom Shadow / Wick length
- Shadows represent price levels that have been hit, but did not close
- Not an all-purpose, all-in-one indicator for entry and exit
- Used as a visual aid to better understand price movement. For example. if price is bearish, but the Shadow MA is showing high, positive values, it is a sign that price is not tending to close at its highest point; therefore, there is bearish resistance.
- Can be used in combination with momentum oscillators and trend analysis.
BTC%I made this for personal use, for a indicator, but bcs I dont see a script like this I wanted to just post it for other ppl.
This is just a script that tells the candles based on %, including wicks. (wicks are inverted to save space and bcs I prefer it)
This works for all markets.
ATR + Trailing StopsSimple visualisation of Average True Range in Pinescript V4.
The script has two modes: Running and Trailing.
In Running mode, it continuously displays the ATR above and below the price. Specifically, it displays the High and Low price plus and minus the ATR times a user-supplied multiplier. This can be helpful for visualising volatility.
In Trailing mode, it displays the same ATR line, except the line trails until price crosses it. When price crosses it, it flips from long to short or vice-versa.
You could use trailing ATR as a stop loss. Adjust the multiplier and lookback period for your asset and preference.
Wick Delta Buy/Sell PressureIf you think of a perfect doji candle, where the wicks on top and bottom are exactly the same, that's a candle with a delta of 0. What this indicator does is show the delta/difference between wicks, if the top wick is longer than the bottom wick it show's sell pressure/bear interest, which is displayed as a red bar and vice versa for buy/bull pressure, which is shown as green bars. I added arrows for clarity.
It's a different way of visualising wicks, which can clarify sentiment and be a useful way to understand wicks better in general. One way to use it is to look for clusters of 3/4 larger bars in a row, which generally helps to determine future direction especially when seen at important levels.
Bars Counter + Daily/Weekly Highs/Low highlight.Hey!
This script is a remake from other's devs scripts.
The * makes a signal if there is a higher high or lower low , RED( I don't know why looks orange )/LIME for WEEKLY and AQUA/YELLOW for a 36 hs WINDOW.
You can change this parameter as u wish.
The bar counter is simple.
Let me know ur feedback.
Wick Sentiment & Stop HuntsTakes the length of the wicks on the tops and bottoms of each candle and plots them on their own to reduce the noise and to give an idea of whether the bulls or bears are being more insistent about direction.
It also highlights the more aggressive wicks in black, which can be used to identify stop hunting if used in conjunction with support/resistance levels.
gaps&wicksA means for tracking price ranges for gap up/down and longer buying/selling tails. This may have some value for buying/selling opportunities based on the relative significance of the range. The look back period is adjustable and works for any time frame. If you have any success using it leave some feedback.

Multiple MA's & Candle Wick AlertsUse this indicator/alerts when a wick touches one of the 5 EMA's (default 20,40,55,100,200 EMA, or you can set other MA types and lengths).
Adjusted by Me for 20,40,55,100,200 EMA, other colors for EMA lines and tiny dots)

WickinessThis script measures the maximum and average length of upper and lower wicks. While this can be used as a volatility gauge and to see if there is more support or resistance, it's primary use is to not get wicked out on stops, by adding one of these numbers to the the Moving Average or S/R level that one is using for a Stop, plus maybe a few points of buffer.

Candle Length by WiscoDishMeasure of the total candle length, including the upper and lower wicks. Works best as a histogram in my opinion. Used as a quick reference for the high minus the low of each candle.
