B1: Yesterday High B2: Yesterday Low
C1: Today High C2: Today Low.
Here's the way you can utilize the script.
First look at the Yesterday high, and Yesteday Low.
You need to consider that would be the symbols can travel into.
If today high has broke yesteray high, there's possibly the price will can keep higher and will create new high. Likewise if today lowest broke yesterday low, there's possibly the price can keep dropping and create new low.
VWAP : You can use this to determine if the price is fair or not, the more it's trading away away the vwap this will determine if it's overbought, or oversold.
PVSRA :
using 10 Periods, it's determine the volume.
Blue(Bullish) and Pink(Bearish) the 150% more Volume from previous bar.
Green(Bullish) and Red(Bearish) the 200% more Volume from previous bar.
Candlestick Analysis
Nested Candle Highlighter @shrilssThe Nested Candle Highlighter identifies when the current candle's body is completely enclosed by the previous candle's wick zones. It examines the upper wick zone, from the previous high to the open or close, and the lower wick zone, from the low up to the open or close. This focused analysis can signal consolidation and potential shifts in momentum, offering an insightful addition to your trading analysis.
Previous Candle + Inside/OutsideThe script uses the previous candle of the current timeframe to assess the state of the current candle.
1. Previous candle high/low and midpoint are displayed
2. Highlights current bar if INSIDE previous candle
3. Highlights current bar if POTENTIAL OUTSIDE bar. This condition uses the logic that if the previous high/low has been swept and price then reaches previous bar 50%, then an OUTSIDE bar is possible.
4. If current candle breaks previous high/low, a label is added to identify.
5. If above condition is true and current candle color is opposite of previous, then label is highlighted to show possible bull/bear condition.
6. If current candle live price is below previous midpoint, a BEAR label is shown
7. If current candle live price is above previous midpoint, a BULL label is shown
I personally use the indicator on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts to help with my overall market assessment. However users may find their own use for the indicator...or modify it to their own preferences.
As ever, the indicator should only be used with live trading accounts after thorough backtesting using a large data range.
FOMO Alert (Miu)This indicator won't plot anything to the chart.
Please follow steps below to set your alarms based on price range variation:
1) Add indicator to the chart
2) Go to settings
3) Choose timeframe which will be used to calculate bars
4) Choose how many bars which will be used to calculate max and min range
5) Choose max and min range variation (%) to trigger alerts
5) Choose up to 6 different symbols to get alert notification
6) Once all is set go back to the chart and click on 3 dots to set alert in this indicator, rename your alert and confirm
7) You can remove indicator after alert is set and it'll keep working as expected
What does this indicator do?
This indicator will generate alerts based on following conditions:
- If min and max prices reach the range (%) from amount of bars on timeframe set for any symbol checked it will trigger an alert.
- If next set of bars reaches higher range than before it will trigger an alert with new data
- If next set of bars doesn't reach higher range than before it will not trigger alerts, even if they are above the range set (this is to prevent the alert to keep triggering with high frequency)
Once condition is met it will send an alert with the following information:
- Symbol name (e.g: BTC, ETH, LTC)
- Range achieved (e.g: 3,03%)
- Current symbol price and current bar direction (e.g: 63,477.1 ▲)
This script will request lowest and highest prices through request.security() built-in function from all different symbols within the range set. It also requests symbols' price (close) and amount of digits (mintick) for each symbol to send alerts with correct value.
This script was developed with main purpose to send alerts when there are strong price movements and I decided to share with community so anyone can set different parameters for different purposes.
Feel free to give feedbacks on comments section below.

BINANCE-BYBIT Cross Chart: Spot-Perpetual CorrelationName: "Binance-Bybit Cross Chart: Spot-Perpetual Correlation"
Category: Scalping, Trend Analysis
Timeframe: 1M, 5M, 30M, 1D (depending on the specific technique)
Technical analysis: This indicator facilitates a comparison between the price movements shown on the Binance spot chart and the Bybit perpetual chart, with the aim of discerning the correlation between the two charts and identifying the dominant market trends. It automatically generates the corresponding chart based on the ticker selected in the primary chart. When a Binance pair is selected in the main chart, the indicator replicates the Bybit perpetual chart for the same pair and timeframe, and vice versa, selecting the Bybit perpetual chart as the primary chart generates the Binance spot chart.
Suggested use: You can utilize this tool to conduct altcoin trading on Binance or Bybit, facilitating the comparison of price actions and real-time monitoring of trigger point sensitivity across both exchanges. We recommend prioritizing the Binance Spot chart in the main panel due to its typically longer historical data availability compared to Bybit.
The primary objective is to efficiently and automatically manage the following three aspects:
- Data history analysis for higher timeframes, leveraging the extensive historical data of the Binance spot market. Variations in indicators such as slow moving averages may arise due to differences in historical data between exchanges.
- Assessment of coin liquidity on both exchanges by observing candlestick consistency on smaller timeframes or the absence of gaps. In the crypto market, clean charts devoid of gaps indicate dominance and offer enhanced reliability.
- Identification of precise trigger point levels, including daily, previous day, or previous week highs and lows, which serve as sensitive areas for breakout or reversal operations.
All-Time High (ATH) and All-Time Low (ATL) levels may vary significantly across exchanges due to disparities in historical data series.
This tool empowers traders to make informed decisions by leveraging historical data, liquidity insights, and precise trigger point identification across Binance Spot and Bybit Perpetual market.
Configuration:
EMA length:
- EMA 1: Default 5, user configurable
- EMA 2: Default 10, user configurable

- EMA 4: Default 223, user configurable
- Additional Average: Optional display of an additional average, such as a 20-period average.
Chart Elements:
- Session separator: Indicates the beginning of the current session (in blue)
- Background: Indicates an uptrend (60 > 223) with a green background and a downtrend (60 < 223) with a red background.
Instruments:
- EMA Daily: Shows daily averages on an intraday timeframe.
- EMA levels 1h - 30m: Shows the levels of the 1g-30m EMAs.
- EMA Levels Highest TF: Provides the option to select additional EMA levels from the major timeframes, customizable via the drop-down menu.
- "Hammer Detector: Marks hammers with a green triangle and inverted hammers with a red triangle on the chart
- "Azzeramento" signal on TF > 30m: Indicates a small candlestick on the EMA after a dump.
- "No Fomo" signal on TF < 30m: Indicates a hyperextended movement.
Trigger Points:
- Today's highs and lows: Shows the opening price of the day's candlestick, along with the day's highs and lows (high in purple, low in red, open in green).
- Yesterday's highs and lows: Displays the opening price of the daily candlestick, along with the previous day's highs and lows (high in yellow, low in red).
You can customize the colors in "Settings" > "Style".
It is best used with the Scalping The Bull indicator on the main panel.

SMC Market Structure (MTF)Introducing the Smart Money Concept Market Structure analysis indicator, a sophisticated tool designed to display the true market structure, in multiple timeframes. Inspired by Lewis Kelly's renowned strategy, this indicator offers a unique approach to defining market structure.
It's worth noting that the Smart Money Concept Market Structure analysis indicator employs Lewis Kelly's strategy for swing detection.
However, it differs from other scripts in the market that utilize alternative methods for swing detection.
Some of these alternative methods that are not used by this script (as it doesn't define market structure properly according to Lewis Kelly's rules):
- ignoring previous market swings. New swings are created inside the internal noise, as they don't need a close above or below previous swings.
- considering that a swing detection is a tops/bottoms with pivots (left, right) with HH/LL.
Any existing market structure script using any of the above will lead to a wrong Break of Structure or Change of character detection and may induce traders to wrongly take trades against the true trend (and lose their trades).
This is why none of the listed above is used here, and this distinction also offers traders a diverse range of options to suit their individual trading preferences and styles.
Here's the main principles of how it works that differentiate from other scripts:
- New Swings are detected only if the new candle closes above/below the previous swing.
- A pullback is detected after 3 (by default) candles going in the same direction, against the current trend. The pullback candles do not need to follow each other, but the count is reset when invalidated. The pullback invalidation strategy is not disclosed here.
Also, unlike most indicators out there, the Smart Money Concept Market Structure (MTF) is multi-timeframe, eliminating the need for traders to constantly switch between different timeframes or add additional indicators. This feature enhances efficiency and streamlines the analysis process, allowing traders to focus more on making informed decisions.
It's important to understand that this indicator is fundamentally based on price action and is not specifically designed to detect market manipulations. Therefore, it should be used in conjunction with your own analytical skills and expertise to derive optimal trading strategies.
While still in its development phase, the indicator may receive updates and new features in the future to further enhance its functionality and usability.
Some of these new features may also not be implemented by existing market structure scripts.
If you have any question or need for new features, please feel free to ask them.
Also, it is recommended to compare the results of this indicator and other existing ones to see which is the most suitable to your trading style.
In the meantime, Enjoy !
3. [Pufferman] - HA Candle Color OverlayThis indicator is designed for traders who utilize Heikin-Ashi (HA) candles to determine market trend direction and strength but prefer not to clutter their charts with multiple candlestick overlays or constantly switch between chart types. It aims to enhance chart readability by marking significant HA candles directly on the price chart, leveraging the unique characteristics of HA candles to signal trend direction and momentum.
Key Features:
1. Trend Identification through HA Candles: Automatically calculates Heikin-Ashi candles based on standard price data, highlighting significant HA candles that exhibit flat tops or bottoms. These characteristics are indicators of strong trend presence and direction. Highlights are in darker or lighter shade (darker - bearish or light - bullish colors) than the standard candles for easy read.
2. Cleaner Chart Presentation: Offers a streamlined alternative to overlaying HA candles on traditional candlestick charts or toggling between different chart views, keeping the user's interface uncluttered.
3. Selective Highlighting Based on Agreement: Marks traditional candles only when there's a concurrence between the HA candle's trend (bullish or bearish) and the traditional candle's trend. This feature ensures that only the most relevant signals are highlighted for the trader's attention.
Operational Mechanism: The script identifies HA candles with open equal to high (for flat tops) and open equal to low (for flat bottoms), which typically indicate strong trend movements. By marking these on the regular price chart, it provides immediate visual cues about trend strength and direction without needing to switch between HA and traditional candlestick views.
This tool is particularly useful for traders looking for a clean and efficient way to incorporate the insights of Heikin-Ashi candles into their technical analysis without the visual complexity of full HA candlestick overlays.
QuarterCandlesChanges candle color when close is within the top 25% or bottom 25% of candle range (High - Low) on the last candle update.
Due to limitations of barcolor command, I'd suggest that you turn OFF the candle borders (chart settings--> right click on chart --> settings -->symbol and uncheck the border option) to ensure that the bar color is easily identifiable.
Flow of Trade [Orderflowing]Flow of Trade | Supply & Demand Zones | Turtle Soup Reversal Pattern Detection (+)
Built using Pine Script V5.
Introduction
The Flow of Trade indicator is a trading tool designed to leverage the principles of Supply and Demand, along with automatic “Turtle Soup” reversal pattern detection.
This indicator is made for traders who aim to identify potential market reversal points, supported by multi-timeframe analysis for a more complete market overview.
Core Concepts and Innovation
Supply and Demand (S&D) Zones
At the heart of the Flow of Trade indicator is the concept of Supply & Demand, along with Market Imbalance, which is sound for identifying the Supply and Demand zones.
The Turtle Soup Reversal Pattern Detection
Named after the ICT-derived trading pattern, the Flow of Trade script tries to find and plot these "failed breakout" reversals based on the user input configuration.
Inputs
The Flow of Trade indicator offers customization, allowing traders to fit the tool to their specific analysis needs and trading style.
Zone Ratio: Determines the scale of imbalance required for a candle to be considered for a zone. A higher value indicates a need for a more significant imbalance, making zones less frequent but potentially more reliable.
Zone Extension: Specifies how far to the right of the latest bar the zones should extend, providing a visual projection of potential future support and resistance areas.
Display LTF Zones: Enables the visualization of zones from lower timeframes on the current chart, offering a multi-timeframe perspective on supply and demand areas.
Supply and Demand Zone Colors: Customize the colors for supply (red) and demand (blue) zones, including opacity for chart visibility.
Border Color: Adjust the border color to find a suitable view of the zones. Optionally disable the S&D colors with 0% opacity and only keep border colors for a border-only view.
Text Display Settings: Options to display high/low quotes information within zones.
Timeframe Options: Select which timeframes to include in the analysis, from shorter periods like 30M to longer ones like Daily (D) or Weekly (W), allowing for a complete view across different timeframes.
How It Works
Imbalance Calculation.
The indicator looks at consecutive candles to measure the magnitude of price movement and volume imbalances.
A significant imbalance between buying and selling pressure is what defines a potential supply or demand zone.
Supply Zones Identification.
A supply zone is flagged when there's imbalance favoring sellers, typically after a notable price drop. It looks for a consolidation phase where the price fails to achieve a higher high, suggesting an area where sellers might regain control.
Demand Zones Identification.
A demand zone is marked in the presence of a buyer-dominated imbalance, especially after a significant price rally.
The indicator seeks periods of consolidation where the price doesn't make a lower low, indicating potential buyer accumulation.
Multi-Timeframe Imbalance Analysis.
The indicator extends its imbalance analysis across multiple timeframes of identified zones.
This multi-layered approach allows traders to discern the strength and relevance of supply and demand zones within a broader multi-timeframe market context.
Turtle Soup Reversal Pattern Detection.
The Turtle Soup pattern detection is fitted into the imbalance analysis.
The indicator scans for setups within or near the identified supply and demand zones, providing an additional layer of confirmation for potential reversals.
The Turtle Soup Pattern Logic
Attempts at detecting false breakouts within the zones. For example, a bearish Turtle Soup pattern emerges when the price dips below a demand zone but quickly reverses, indicating a failed breakout and potential upward momentum.
Integration and Practical Application
The Flow of Trade indicator integrates these elements, marking out S&D zones while also scanning for reversal patterns within or adjacent to these zones.
The added multi-timeframe analysis can help the traders understanding of broader market context, enabling you to find the relative strength of MTF zones and see how reversal setups perform in the specific asset.
Strategic Entry and Exit Points: Use the confluence of S&D zones and Turtle Soup patterns to find possible entry and exit points.
Risk Management: Potentially leverage the defined zones for setting stop-loss levels and managing trade risk based on supply and demand concepts.
Confirmation and Confluence: Apply multi-timeframe analysis to validate S&D zones and Turtle Soup patterns.
Example of High/Low (H/L) Quotes from Zones:
Example of MTF S&D Zones (4H/D/W):
Conclusion
The Flow of Trade indicator is of time-tested market principles and along with innovative pattern recognition, designed to offer traders a customizable method for more systematized view of supply and demand, along with reversal signals.
Its multi-timeframe analysis can be useful for decision-making and systemizing your trading layout.
Disclaimer
While the Flow of Trade Indicator is a useful tool for analysis, it is important for traders to remember that no single tool can guarantee success.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Do not solely rely on the signals from the Flow of Trade indicator.
The indicator is meant to be used as confluence to an existing strategy.
HTF FVG and Wick Fill trackingImbalances in the charts are some of the clearest and most traded price areas. Two of the best and most used are fair value gaps FVGs and large candle wicks. In both of these price appears to move in such a way that most are left behind having 'missed' the move. But in reality price will often come back to these price points to re-balance and absorb the liquidity that was left behind.
This indicator takes these areas and makes viewing and tracking them clearer than ever. It does this, by first allowing the user to overlay a higher timeframe candle on the current chart. This in itself provides an in depth look at a higher timeframe candle both as it forms and in its final form.
Next the indicator identifies either the FVG or large wicks, on the chosen higher timeframe, all while the chart remains on a lower timeframe. As seen here the fair value gaps are clearly highlighted, taken from a 4 hour timeframe, while the actual chart is on 15 minutes. This allows the user even greater accuracy in identifying their key trading areas.
Utilizing the indicators unique feature, these areas can optionally be extended forward to the current timeframe and 'filled' in realtime. Areas that are filled to the users defined level, will be removed from the chart.
With supplementary settings for how much history to show, how large of a wick should be highlighted and complete control over the colour scheme, users will be able to track and understand the filling of imbalances like never before.
Market Structure (Range) & Internal Liquidity
This indicator will simplify the price-action reading of any trader/investor by decluttering his/her charts from un-important & confusing candles to highlight the true momentum candles which are usually formed by institutional buying/selling .
The indicator will be a good tool in the arsenal of the following styles of Trading/Investing
Smart Money / Liquidity Concepts
Price Action Concepts
Demand & Supply Concepts
Support & Resistance Concepts
UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Market Structure - Range & Internal Liquidity:
Unlike other liquidity indicators, this indicator only highlights liquidity levels of significant importance. Not every intermediate high & low in a chart are worthy of noticing, hence by enabling the 'Swings' & 'Range (BoS)' feature in the indicator settings, the structure highs and lows (external liquidity) in a chart can be identified.
Any other liquidity levels within a market range (Range between structural High & Low) is known as internal liquidity which price targets to collect enough orders before heading towards the external liquidity levels.
2. Gaps (Fair Value Gaps / Imbalance):
Not every imbalance / gap between candles are important & trade-worthy. This feature of the indicator is different from the other widely available imbalance indicators & only highlights gaps formed by true momentum candles. Gaps between unimportant inside bars are not highlighted, as these bars occur in the absence of momentum.
3. True Price Action:
Looking at the two charts below, we can clearly observe the difference between price action of a confusing normal chart & the simplified price action highlighted by the indicator. This feature declutters the charts by only highlighting the candles a trader / investor should notice in a chart.
This feature when used in confluence with the liquidity levels feature & gap feature of the indicator, helps identify the true demand & supply zones (order blocks) in a chart.

After
4. Zig Zag Lines:
This unique feature which is useful to Identify & Backtest different entry types taught by Smart Money Traders . This feature helps the trader understand the True Fractal Nature of price. This can also be seen as an alternate to the default line chart feature.
Examples of Entry Types taken by Smart Money Traders
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
(These features are essential addons to trade liquidity. However, these are derived from publicly available indicators from the Tradingview library, but with a different interpretation for a better visualization of charts & or to time better trade entries without cluttering the charts)
a. Inside Bar & Outside Bars:
Identify not just a single Inside Bar as highlighted by other indicators, but to highlight a series of candles which are within a master candle range and are exhibiting unimportant sideways price action.
Outside Bars only relevant to momentum candles are highlighted, ignoring candles that occur within a master candle range. Highs & Lows of such Outside Bars are used by aggressive traders to identify liquidity levels in the charts.
b. Highs & Lows of previous Monthly / Weekly / Daily & Hourly Candles:
This feature draws Highs & Lows of previous Monthly / Weekly / Daily & Hourly Candles on the extreme right hand side of the chart to keep the charts clean.
Additionally for Hourly time frame, the indicator includes a setting to select the hourly candle time frame (60 min / 75 min / 240 min), which are personal and different for each trader.
UNDERLYING CONCEPT:
In the image below we see how a large majority of Traders / Investors incorrectly mark Structure markings, mistaking a raid of internal liquidity as a Break of Structure, thereby taking trades opposite to the broader trend of the markets
However, this indicator has a higher accuracy of identifying the correct price structure by only marking a structure high or low, when a subsequently opposite side liquidity is taken/raided. Further the broader trend of the markets can be easily identified by looking as to which side the Break of Structure has happened. (This is visible in the indicator in the form of 'Range' feature, so if a Range High is broken then it is understood to be in an uptrend & vice versa)
The underlying core functionality of the indicator is best displayed by the image below
USECASE OF THE INDICATOR:
Before taking any Buying/Selling position in the markets, a Trader / Investor must analyze the price action on the following parameters
HTF & LTF Trend Identification (To judge if trade is Pro-Trend or Counter-Trend)
Is Price at a High Probability Area of Interest?
Is Price satisfying the trade entry conditions?
Let us see how this indicator can be used as a complete trading system in itself and addresses each of the above parameters
Disclaimer: Illustrations shown below are just for understanding the features of the indicator & does not guarantee profitability. Every trader must back test their setups to arrive at a setup with an edge (positive expectancy) before they start actively trading the setup.
1. HTF & LTF Trend Identification (Pro-Trend / Counter-Trend) using 'Range (BoS)' feature of the indicator
Let's assume a Day Trader, uses hourly chart (75 min) to frame his Higher Time Frame (HTF) ideas & 15min charts (LTF) for trade entries
Looking at the chart below the Trader concludes that the HTF has most recently broken the structure to the downside and is considered Bearish till price action is below the range high of 48600 levels. It can also be concluded that the price is currently in a Bullish retracement.
The Trader can choose to take both Pro-Trend or Counter-Trend Trades, timing the trade entries using the LTF charts.
Looking at the LTF chart below, it is evident that price on LTF has also broken structure to the downside and is now aligned with the HTF Bearish Trend. The Trader will now look to get into short trades, to take trades both in line with HTF & LTF trend.
2. Let's identify if Price is at a High Probability Area of Interest, using either single or combination of the 'Swings' / 'Gaps' / 'Outside Bars' / 'HL of previous M,W,D, H candles' features of the indicator
Definition of High Probability Level / Area differs from each Traders perspective depending upon which of the Trading Styles (mentioned in the beginning) does one use.
Smart Money Traders
SMC Traders are known to get into trades early and their high R:R trades are taken mostly at a High Probability Area of Interest which are identified by them on HTF, by looking for candles with imbalance (gaps) & or candles which have taken out a previous liquidity and then having creating imbalance (gaps).
Also Turtle Soups is one of the favorite setups for SMC traders, where a trader enters a trade on LTF (typically 1 min/3min & 5min) after grabbing HTF liquidity lying at H/L of outside bar / previous monthly, weekly, daily or hourly candles.
Demand & Supply Traders
Some of the Best Demand & Supply Traders have the patience to wait for trades and take trades at the extreme Demand & Supply Zones within a market Range.
As illustrated below, the extreme hourly supply zone just below the structure high, which has the confluence of imbalance and Bearish HTF confirmation resulted in a good R:R trade.
Price Action Traders & Support & Resistance Traders
From the illustration below we can see how the 15 min Range breakdown confirms the breakdown of the Inverted Cup Pattern for Price Action Traders & Support & Resistance Traders using the same area of breakdown as the new Resistance to enter Short trades
3. Let's identify if Price is satisfying the Trade Entry Conditions using the 'Zig-Zag Lines' feature
Statistics say that majority (> 80%) of Traders blow up their accounts multiple times or completely give up and never achieve profitability.
One of the primary reasons for this is Traders punching trades randomly and without having proper Setup or rules for entering Trades.
Also in order to arrive at rules or execute the different entry models (couple of examples highlighted earlier) taught by different Trainers, a Trader needs to learn to visualize charts in a similar format to what the trainers are teaching.
The Zig-Zag lines feature is a form of line chart that joins the swing high points to the swing low points on the chart to represent the True Price action & a proper fractal nature of the markets, unlike the line chart which is formed by only by joining the closing value of each candle.
From the image below we can see that the Zig-Zag lines feature eliminates the randomness visible in the line chart and is a more smoother chart. Using this feature one can back test the various entry models widely available on the internet or arrive at a user specific model which he/she is comfortable with.
CONCLUSION:
Trading with a deeper understanding of Price Action allows a Trader/Investor to enter or exit trades with ease. Price Action trading allows individuals to keep their charts clean and stay away from the other lagging technical indicators and enter trades much earlier than other technical indicators.
This indicator attempts in simplifying the understanding of price action for every one and identify potential high probability areas / levels where one should enter / exit trades.
This indicator will be an important tool in the arsenal of any Trader / Investor to take better informed trades, however it does not guarantee profitability of a Trader, due to the randomness of the markets & external factors that influence each trader.

QTE Scalper ModifiedA modified version of the QTE scalper indicator. Produces a buy/sell signal based on a 2 candle pattern. For long signals it produces a signal when the high and low of the second candle are below the high and low of the first candle and both candles close above the 10 period EMA. The reverse is true for short signals.
Added functionality so that signals will trigger an alert: Add the indicator to the chart on the instrument and timeframe you wish to use it on. Add an alert and in the 'condition' section choose the indicator and set the trigger as 'once per bar close'. You will have to set individual alerts for both long and short signals and if you change the time period on the chart.
Candle Close TrendFirst of all, a huge credit to Wade for all the help with this indicator. An absolute Legend!
The idea behind this indicator is to identify a potential trend with simply the close of candles.
If a candle closes above the previous candle High, the trend would be "bullish" and remain bullish until there is a candle that closes below the previous candle Low. The opposite is true for a "bearish" trend.
As always, this is NOT intended to be used by itself, but with other TA.
For cleanest results, I find it best to use with the candle borders turned off in the chart settings but that is just my preference.
Works on all timeframes.
Bollinger Band Wick and SRSI Signals [MW]Introduction
This indicator uses a novel combination of Bollinger Bands, candle wicks crossing the upper and lower Bollinger Bands and baseline, and combines them with the Stochastic SRSI oscillator to provide early BUY and SELL signals in uptrends, downtrends, and in ranging price conditions.
How it’s unique
People generally understand Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. Buy at the bottom band, sell at the top band. However, because the bands themselves are not static, impulsive moves can render them useless. People also generally understand wicks. Candles with large wicks can represent a change in pattern, or volatile price movement. Combining those two to determine if price is reaching a pivot point is relatively novel. When Stochastic RSI (SRSI) filtering is also added, it becomes a genuinely unique combination that can be used to determine trade entries and exits.
What’s the benefit
The benefit of the indicator is that it can help potentially identify pivots WHEN THEY HAPPEN, and with potentially minimal retracement, depending on the trader’s time window. Many indicators wait for a trend to be established, or wait for a breakout to occur, or have to wait for some form of confirmation. In the interpretation used by this indicator, bands, wicks, and SRSI cycles provide both the signal and confirmation.
It takes into account 3 elements:
Price approaching the upper or lower band or the baseline - MEANING: Price is becoming extended based on calculations that use the candle trading range.
A candle wick of a defined proportion (e.g. wick is 1/2 the size of a full candle OR candle body) crosses a band or baseline, but the body does not cross the band or baseline - MEANING: Buyers and sellers are both very active.
The Stochastic RSI reading is above 80 for SELL signals and below 20 for BUY signals - MEANING: Additional confirmation that price is becoming extended based on the current cyclic price pattern.
How to Use
SIGNALS
Buy Signals - Green(ish):
B Signal - Potential pivot up from the lower band when using the preferred multiplier
B1 Signal - Potential pivot up from baseline
Sell Signals - Red(ish):
S Signal - Potential pivot down from the upper band when using the preferred multiplier
S1 Signal - Potential pivot down from the baseline
DISCUSSION
During an uptrend or downtrend, signals from the baseline can help traders identify areas where they may enter the trending move with the least amount of drawdown. In both cases, entry points can occur with baseline signals in the direction of the trend.
For example, in an uptrend (when the price is forming higher highs and higher lows, or when the baseline is rising), price tends to oscillate between the upper band and baseline. In this case, the baseline BUY signal (B3) can show an entry point.
In a downtrend (when the price is forming lower highs and lower lows, or when the baseline is falling), price tends to oscillate between the baseline and the lower band. In this case, the baseline SELL signal (S3) can show an entry point.
During consolidation, when price is ranging, price tends to oscillate between the upper and lower bands, while crossing through the baseline unperturbed. Here, entry points can occur at the upper and lower bands.
When all conditions are met at the lower band during consolidation, a BUY signal (B), can occur. This signal may also occur prior to a break out of consolidation to the upside.
When all conditions are met at the upper band during consolidation, a SELL signal (S), can occur. This signal may also occur prior to a break out of consolidation to the downside.
Additional, B1 and S1 signals can be displayed that use the baseline as the pivot level.

Calculations
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool that are used to measure market volatility and identify overbought or oversold conditions in the trading of financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. Bollinger Bands consist of three lines plotted on a price chart:
Middle Band, Basis, or Baseline: This is typically a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over a certain period. It represents the intermediate-term trend of the asset's price.
Upper Band: This is calculated by adding a certain number of standard deviations to the middle band (SMA). The upper band adjusts itself with the increase in volatility.
Lower Band: This is calculated by subtracting the same number of standard deviations from the middle band (SMA). Like the upper band, the lower band adjusts to changes in volatility.
The candle wick signals occur if the wick is at the specified ratio compared to either the entire candle or the candle body. The upper band, lower band, and baseline signals happen if the wick is the specified ratio of the total candle size. For the major signals for upper and lower bands, these occur when the wick extends outside of the bands while closing a candle inside of the bands. For the baseline signals, they occur if a wick crosses a baseline but closes on the other side.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
To understand future price movement, this indicator assumes that 3 things must be known:
Evidence of a change of market structure. This can be demonstrated by increased volatility, consolidation, volume spikes (which can be tracked with the MW Volume Impulse Indicator) or, in the case of this indicator, candle wicks.
The potential cause of the change. It could be a VWAP line (which can be tracked with the Multi VWAP , and Multi VWAP from Gaps indicators), an event, an important support or resistance level, a key moving average, or many other things. This indicator assumes the ATR bands can be a cause.
The current position in the price cycle. Oscillators like the RSI, and MACD, are typical measures of price oscillation (other oscillators like the Price and Volume Stochastic Divergence indicator can also be useful). This indicator uses the Stochastic RSI oscillator to determine overbought and oversold conditions.
When evidence of the change appears, and the potential cause of the change is identified, and the price oscillation is at a favorable position for the desired trading direction, this indicator will generate a signal.
ATR Bands (or Keltner Channels) are used to determine when price might “revert to the mean”. Crossing, or being near the upper or lower band, can indicate an overbought or oversold condition, which could lead to a price reversal. By tracking the behavior of candle wicks during these events, we can see how active the battle is between buyers and sellers.
If the top of a wick is large, it may indicate that sellers are aggressively attempting to bring the price down. Conversely, if the bottom wick is large, it can indicate that buyers are actively trying to counter the price action caused by selling pressure.
When this wicking action occurs at times when price is not near the upper band, lower band, or baseline, it could indicate the presence of an important level. That could mean a nearby VWAP line, a supply or demand zone, a round price number, or a number of other factors. In any case, this wick may be the first indication of a price reversal.
Shorter baseline periods may be better for short period trading like scalping or day trading, while longer period baselines can show signals that are better suited to swing trading, or longer term investing.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
The TradingView platform allows a maximum of 500 labels per chart. This means that if your settings allow for a lot of signals, labels for earlier ones may not appear if the total number of labels exceeds 500 for the chart.

Morning & Evening Star [TradingFinder] Stock Indices Gap Candle🔵 Introduction
In "technical analysis", there are certain reversal patterns that alert us to a potential reversal of a stock's previous trajectory.
Two significant patterns in this regard are the "Morning Star" pattern and the "Evening Star" pattern, which are formed by a combination of three different candlesticks and are considered as reversal patterns.
Here, we will examine how to identify these patterns and how to respond to them.
🟣 Morning Star Pattern
This pattern forms at the end of a downtrend and indicates the beginning of an uptrend.
The pattern consists of three candlesticks in the following order :
1.A large bearish candlestick
2.A candlestick with a short body
3.A bullish candlestick
With the formation of the morning star pattern, it is expected that the stock price will change direction and continue to rise. Therefore, in such situations, it is advisable to enter a long position and follow the uptrend.
Signs of the morning star pattern :
•The first sign of this pattern is the presence of a small-bodied candlestick at the end of the trend, accompanied by a gap from the previous candlestick (a bearish candlestick with a large body). Therefore, the bodies of the first and second candlesticks do not overlap.
•The second candlestick indicates market confusion and uncertainty. The color of the middle candlestick is not significant.
•The third candlestick must be positive and have a higher price than the previous candlestick (i.e., the small-bodied candlestick).
•The closing price of the third candlestick must be higher than half of the first candlestick.
🟣 Evening Star Pattern
This pattern forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates the beginning of a downtrend.
The pattern consists of three candlesticks in the following order :
1.A large bullish candlestick
2.A candlestick with a short body
3.A bearish candlestick
With the formation of the evening star pattern, it is expected that the stock price will change direction and continue to fall. Therefore, in such situations where this pattern is identified, it is advisable to refrain from entering a long position.
If the stock is traded in a two-way market, it is possible to profit by taking a short position after the formation of the evening star pattern.
Signs of the evening star pattern :
•The first sign of this pattern is the presence of a small-bodied candlestick at the end of the trend, accompanied by a gap from the previous candlestick (a bullish candlestick with a large body). Therefore, the bodies of the first and second candlesticks do not overlap.
•The second candlestick indicates market confusion and uncertainty. The color of the middle candlestick is not significant.
•The third candlestick must be negative and have a lower price than the previous candlestick (i.e., the small-bodied candlestick).
•The closing price of the third candlestick must be lower than half of the first candlestick.
🔵 How to Use
The "Filter" and "Market" features are available in the settings section, allowing you to customize the output of the indicator according to your needs.
With the "Filter" feature, you can filter the "Morning Star" and "Evening Star" patterns as "strong" or "weak." The difference between strong and weak patterns lies in their "Candle Body."
In strong patterns, the candle bodies account for more than 80% of the total candle range, while in weak patterns, the bodies comprise between 60% to 80% of the candle range.
If the "Filter" feature is set to "On," only strong patterns will be displayed. If it's set to "Off," all patterns will be displayed. By default, it's set to "Off."
The "Market" feature allows you to include "gaps" in your pattern identification calculations. You can choose between "Forex" and "Stock" modes. In the Forex pattern, calculations are performed without considering gaps since there are fewer gaps in the Forex market.
If gap calculations were to be part of the pattern identification conditions, only a very small number of patterns would be identified. However, in the "Stock" mode, gaps are considered as part of the identification conditions.
EHRHART Algo Premium (V.2)EHRHART Algo Premium is a indicator designed to help traders analyze market flow. It work with multiple EMA for identifying the sentiment of market. It's very simple calculation but it's a good help for people who use price action. I think the visual of the chart is very important and and I wanted to create an indicator very visual. I'm price action lover like lots of people and I personally think it's very important to identify the flow of market because buying when the flow of market is up give you better chance to win your trade. It's not BUY and SELL signal, this indicator don't tell u when u need buy or when u need sell, it's principally here for helping the visual of trading chart (have a good clear chart). I decided to post this indicator because people were asking me how it worked and were curious about these colors, so here we go !
This indicator show:
The main flow ( green candle=buy pressure /red candle=seller pressure ), it's based on two EMA cross over, this two EMA are editable so u can take the combination you want depending on your trading strategy. When the first EMA is above the second EMA candle becoming green and when the second EMA is above the first EMA candle becoming red.
The trend of two EMA crossover (blue=bullish and violet=bearish), it's based on two EMA (two different than main flow) cross over, this two EMA are editable so u can take the combination you want depending on your trading strategy. When the first EMA is above the second EMA the trend becoming blue and when the second EMA is above the first EMA the trend becoming violet.
Potential trend reversals (violet candle), it's calculate with the two EMA of the main flow, when these two EMA becoming closer, the candle becoming violet. It meaning that the trend may reversals. I added sensitivity parameter, so u can adjust it depending on your trading strategy, the more sensitive it is, the more candle will be colored violet.
A system of RSI print on the chart, when the RSI becoming overbought (more than 75) a red triangle will pop up on the chart, and when the RSI becoming oversold (less than 25) a green triangle will pop up on the chart. U can show or hidden these setting.
Bullish candles are represented by hollow candles.
Bearish candles are represented by full candles.
You can use this indicator with multiple strategy, I personally use it with price action (support/resistance) and I made it for that (but it's your choice).
This is an example of how I'll use it:
Here we can see that the price is coming testing our weakly support, however the main flow is bullish (red candle), so I'm waiting my first signal (violet candle). When the first candle passed violet I decided to enter the trade because violet candle after red candle means that the two EMA start closed to themselves meaning that's the flow may turn green. My second signal will be candle passed green, because it meaning the two EMA start deviate from themselves, buyer are taking advantage. In this situation a green triangle on the support will be my third signal.
Gradient Candles
The Gradient Candles indicator is crafted to be a comprehensive replacement for default candlesticks, offering users an enhanced and visually stunning alternative. To experience the intended results and fully immerse in the distinctive features of Gradient Candles, it's recommended to hide the default candlesticks. This ensures that traders can fully appreciate the unique color gradient and dynamic visual representation that this indicator brings to chart analysis.

Wick %Heyo Fellas,
thanks for checking out my new indicator.
Introduction
Wick % is a simple indicator to compare wick size with body size (mode 1) and to compare wick size with candle size (mode 2).
Upper wicks are bullish when close is higher than open pricen.
Lower wicks are bearish when close is lower than open price.
Wick Theory
In general, big wick and small bodie on a bar means that bull and bears are fighting heavily.
A big wick below the body means the bulls are leading in that fight,
and a big wick above the body means the bears are leading in that fight.
Calculation Formula
Mode 1 – Percentual Increase Wick/Body:
upperWickPercentage = (upperWick / body) * 100 - 100
lowerWickPercentage = (lowerWick / body) * 100 - 100
Mode 2 – Percent Wick/Candlestick:
upperWickPercentage = (upperWick / (high - low)) * 100
lowerWickPercentage = (lowerWick / (high - low)) * 100
Usage
You can use it on every symbol and every timeframe.
The indicator repaints by default, but you can disable it in the settings.
When you disable repaint, it moves the label one bar to the right.
If you want to use the indicator for signals, you must disable repainting.
Best regards,

CandleStick [TradingFinder] - All Reversal & Trend Patterns🔵 Introduction
"Candlesticks" patterns are used to predict price movements. We have included 5 of the best candlestick patterns that are common and very useful in "technical analysis" in this script to identify them automatically. The most important advantage of this indicator for users is saving time and high precision in identifying patterns.
These patterns are "Pin Bar," "Dark Cloud," "Piercing Line," "3 Inside Bar," and "Engulfing." By using these patterns, you can predict price movements more accurately and therefore make better decisions in your trades.
🔵 How to Use
Pin Bar : This pattern consists of a Candle where "Open Price," "Close Price," "High Price," and "Low Price" form the "Candle Body," and it also has "Long Shadow" and "Short Shadow." In the visual appearance of the Pin Bar pattern, we have a candle body and a pin bar shadow, where the candle body is smaller relative to the shadow.
Just as the candle body plays an important role in analysis, the pin bar shadow can also be influential. The larger the pin bar shadow, the stronger the expectation of a trend reversal.
When a "bearish pin bar" occurs at resistance or the chart ceiling, it can be predicted that the price trend will be downward. Similarly, at support points and the chart floor, a "bullish pin bar" can indicate an upward price movement.
Additionally, patterns like "Hammer," "Shooting Star," "Hanging Man," and "Inverted Hammer" are types of pin bars. Pin bars are formed in two ways: bullish pin bars have a long lower shadow, and bearish pin bars have a long upper shadow. Important: Displaying "Bullish Pin Bar" is labeled "BuPB," and "Bearish Pin Bar" is labeled "BePB."
Dark Cloud : The Dark Cloud pattern is one type of two-candle patterns that occurs at the end of an uptrend. The 2-candle pattern indicates the shape of this pattern, which actually consists of 2 candles, one bullish and one bearish. This pattern indicates a trend reversal and is quite powerful.
The Dark Cloud pattern is seen when, after a bullish candle at the end of an uptrend, a bearish candle opens at a higher level (weakly, equal, or higher) than the closing point of the bullish candle and finally closes at a point approximately in the middle of the previous candle. In this indicator, the Dark Cloud pattern is identified as "Wick" and "Strong" .
The difference between these two lies in the strictness of their conditions. Important: Strong Dark Cloud is labeled "SDC," and Weak Dark Cloud is labeled "WDC."
Piercing Line : The Piercing candlestick pattern consists of 2 candles, the first being bearish and consistent with the previous trend, and the second being bullish. The conditions of the pattern are such that the first candle is bearish and a price gap is created between the two candles upon the opening of the next candle because its opening price is below (weakly equal to or less than) the closing price of the previous candle.
Additionally, its closing price must be at least 50% above the red candle.
This means that the second candle must penetrate at least 50% into the first candle. Important: Strong Piercing Line is labeled "SPL," and Weak Piercing Line is labeled "WPL."
3 Inside Bar (3 Bar Reversal) : The 3 Inside Bar pattern is a reversal pattern. This pattern consists of 3 consecutive candles and can be either bullish or bearish. In the bullish pattern (Inside Up) formed at the end of a downtrend, the last candle must be bullish, and the third candle from the end must be bearish.
Additionally, the close price must be more than 50% of the third candle from the end. In the bearish pattern (Inside Down) formed at the end of an uptrend, the last candle must be bearish, and the third candle from the end must be bullish. Additionally, the close price must be less than 50% of the third candle from the end. Important: Bullish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Bu3IB," and Bearish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Be3IB."
Engulfing : The Engulfing candlestick pattern is a reversal pattern and consists of at least two candles, where one of them completely engulfs the body of the previous or following candle due to high volatility.
For this reason, the term "engulfing" is used for this pattern. This pattern occurs when the price body of a candle encompasses one or more candles before it. Engulfing candles can be bullish or bearish. Bullish Engulfing forms as a reversal candle at the end of a downtrend.
Bullish Engulfing indicates strong buying power and signals the beginning of an uptrend. This pattern is a bullish candle with a long upward body that completely covers the downward body before it. Bearish Engulfing, as a reversal pattern, is a long bearish candle that engulfs the upward candle before it.
Bearish Engulfing forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates the pressure of new sellers and their strong power. Additionally, forming this pattern at resistance levels and the absence of a lower shadow increases its credibility. Important: Bullish Engulfing is labeled "BuE," and Bearish Engulfing is labeled "BeE."
🔵 Settings
This section, you can use the buttons "Show Pin Bar," "Show Dark Cloud," "Show Piercing Line," "Show 3 Inside Bar," and "Show Engulfing" to enable or disable the display of each of these candlestick patterns.
Engulfing [TradingFinder] Bullish & Bearish CandleStick Pattern🔵 Introduction
The candlestick engulfing pattern is important pattern in technical analysis that can be observed in candlestick charts. This pattern occurs when a complete candle engulfs or "engulfs" the body of a previous candle, meaning that the body of the new candle completely covers the body of the previous candle.
The candlestick engulfing pattern has two types: the bullish engulfing pattern and the bearish engulfing pattern.
• Bullish Engulfing Pattern: This pattern occurs when a market candle opens with a larger and higher body than the previous market candle and completely covers the body of the previous candle. This pattern may indicate the presence of strong buying pressure and a potential change in price direction upwards.
• Bearish Engulfing Pattern: This pattern occurs when a market candle opens with a larger and lower body than the previous market candle and completely covers the body of the previous candle. This pattern may indicate the presence of strong selling pressure and a potential change in price direction downwards.
The candlestick engulfing pattern is usually used as a valid signal for a change in price direction in the market and can enhance a combination of crossover investments and technical analysis. However, it should always be evaluated alongside other indicators and market factors, and counter decisions should be made accordingly.
🔵 Recognition Method
Correct, the candlestick engulfing pattern is one of the important patterns in technical analysis that is typically used as a strong signal for a valid change in price direction in the market. This pattern occurs when a candle (usually in the market) opens with a larger and higher (for bullish engulfing pattern) or lower (for bearish engulfing pattern) body than a previous market candle and completely covers the body of the previous candle.
Example of Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
• First Candle: A bearish (downward) candle with a small red body.
• Second Candle: A bullish (upward) candle with a larger body that completely covers the body of the previous candle.
This pattern may indicate a change in price direction from downward to upward.
Example of Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
• First Candle: A bullish (upward) candle with a small green body.
• Second Candle: A bearish (downward) candle with a larger body that completely covers the body of the previous candle.
This pattern may indicate a change in price direction from upward to downward.
The most important point is that the candlestick engulfing pattern should be carefully considered and always evaluated alongside other market indicators and overall conditions. For example, the engulfing pattern near important support or resistance levels, during significant market command changes, or accompanied by other technical signals can have greater signaling power.

🔵 Settings
The "Engulf Filter" option allows the "Optimal Condition" to be executed and will show fewer candlesticks.
🔵 Status
Off: Default mode, showing more identifications.
• Green color indicates optimal "Bullish Engulfing" candles.
• Red color indicates optimal "Bearish Engulfing" candles.
On: By changing the default to "On," the number of identifications decreases and the optimal condition is applied.
• Blue color indicates "Bullish Engulfing" candles.
• Black color indicates "Bearish Engulfing" candles.
🟣 Important Note
"Engulfing" candles are very useful signals in the direction of the overall trend, but we do not expect a suitable movement from "Engulfing" candles against the trend.
Fetch EngulfingBuysThis script makes use of bullish engulfing candles, trend analysis, and time.
The trend is devided between an up- and downtrend. This is based on a simple cross over strategy, using the 9 and 50 moving averages.
The buys are calculated based on how many times a bullish engulfing candle was displayed on the chart during a downtrend. Bullish engulfing candles in an uptrend will never result in a buy signal.
The sells are simply based on time. This means that the script counts how many days you have been in a trade. The default is 100 candles. You can tweak this in the settings of the indicator.
Finally, this script does not provide you with any stop-losses. I am planning on releasing a v2 once I figured out what a good balance is. Also, you might notice that there are more buys than sells. This is because only the first trade in the series is tracked. V2 could improve on this flaw of the indicator.
Hope you enjoy this first iteration of the indicator.
