Candlestick analysis

Impulse Move FVG TrackerThis script identifies strong directional impulse moves and automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) only in locations that are contextually relevant to those moves. It tracks consecutive candle bodies to determine when a large move up or down has occurred, calculates the midpoint of that impulse, and then displays bullish FVGs above the midpoint after strong upward moves and bearish FVGs below the midpoint after strong downward moves. The script operates only within a user-selected, scrollable time-of-day window and allows full control over FVG colors, extension length, minimum impulse size, and how many of the most recent FVGs remain on the chart. It is designed to reduce noise by showing FVGs only where price displacement suggests meaningful imbalance rather than marking every gap indiscriminately.

True FVGs v2This script identifies and plots true Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using a strict three-candle structure, distinguishing between two formation types while accounting for doji candles. It draws shaded boxes to represent untraded price imbalances, with Type A and Type B gaps defined by precise wick-to-body and body-to-body relationships that reflect institutional price displacement. The indicator allows the user to control how far each FVG extends and how many recent FVGs remain visible, keeping the chart clean and relevant. This is helpful because it highlights high-probability areas where price is likely to react, enabling more precise trade planning, entries, and risk management without visual clutter. It expands on the first script (True FVGs) and allows for a more controlled design fitting each trader's desires.

Short-Term Weekly Refuges (Shelters)## // Introduction // ══════════════ Short-Term Weekly Refuges (Shelters) (WR or RS) is a structural analysis indicator designed to track price action during the current week. It combines a configurable ZigZag with Fibonacci retracements anchored to recent phases, using the Weekly Opening Price (W.O.P.) as a key reference level. This indicator is optimized for 4H timeframe but also works on 1H and 15min charts. ## // Theoretical Foundation of the Indicator // ═══════════════════════════════ The WR (RS) indicator provides a structural framework for following price action during the current trading week. The core concept: Recent ZigZag phases, combined with the Weekly Opening Price, create dynamic support and resistance levels that institutional traders often monitor and use for intraweek positioning. The indicator allows you to select which recent phase (1-10) serves as the Fibonacci anchor. ## // Indicator Objectives // ══════════════════ 1) Display a configurable ZigZag showing recent price structure with numbered phases (1 = most recent). Users should configure the ZigZag parameters based on whether they are analyzing a Major Degree Pattern (larger swings, less noise) or a Minor Degree Pattern (smaller swings, more detail), following standard Elliott Wave terminology. Configure the ZigZag to match the degree of your analysis: use higher Depth values for Major Degree Patterns, or lower values for Minor Degree Patterns. 2) Draw Fibonacci retracements on a user-selected phase, with two modes: • "On ZigZag": Traditional Fibonacci on the selected phase. • "Relative to W.O.P.": Fibonacci from phase anchor (i0) to Weekly Opening Price. 3) Show Weekly Opening Price lines as horizontal references, with the current week's line extended into the future. 4) Provide Pivot Up/Down markers for additional confirmation of local highs and lows. 5) Support multiple simultaneous indicator loads with visual identifier labels to distinguish between different analysis degrees (e.g., "Major Degree Pattern" vs "Minor Degree Pattern"). 6) Optional Embedded Indicator: Enable Intraday Shelters (RID) - percentage-based support/resistance levels calculated from the Daily Opening Price, useful for 1H and 15min trading. ## // Key Features // ══════════════ • **Flexible ZigZag**: Adjustable Depth, Deviation, and Backstep parameters to adapt to any asset's volatility. • **Phase Selection**: Choose from the 10 most recent phases for Fibonacci anchoring. • **Dual Fibonacci Modes**: Trace on the ZigZag phase itself, or relative to the Weekly Opening Price. • **New Age Color Palette**: Professional Fibonacci color scheme used by old school experienced traders. • **Weekly Opening Price (W.O.P.)**: Historical weekly opens plus current week projection. • **"Show Only W.O.P." Mode**: Isolate just the Weekly Opening Price line for cleaner charts on non-4H timeframes. • **Optional Intraday Shelters (RID)**: 11 percentage levels (±0.382%, ±1%, ±1.5%, ±2%, ±2.5%) based on Daily Opening Price. • **Multi-Load Support**: Visual identifier tags and Large Label for running multiple indicator instances simultaneously. ## // Recommended Workflow // ═════════════════════ 1) Load the indicator on a 4H chart. 2) Adjust ZigZag parameters (Depth, Deviation) until the phases match your visual analysis of recent price structure. 3) Select the phase you want to use as Fibonacci anchor (typically Phase 2, 3 or higher). 4) Choose Fibonacci mode: "On ZigZag" for phase analysis, or "Relative to W.O.P." for analysis based on weekly opening price context. 5) Monitor how price interacts with the Fibonacci levels and Weekly Opening Price throughout the week. 6) Optionally enable RID for intraday precision on 1H or 15min charts. ## // Integration with Other Refuge Indicators // ════════════════════════════════ WR (RS) is part of a complete refuge-based analysis ecosystem: • LTR (RLP) (Long-Term Refuges): For automatic determination of the predominant phase of a ZigZag, which institutional investors choose as the basis for a Fibo whose levels calculate the projection for order placement over the following months and years. • LTRS (RLPS) (Simple Long-Term Refuges): Simplified version of LTR in which the known coordinates of the predominant phases (obtained with the LTR indicator) of one or up to five assets are easily captured for permanent long-term operation. • WR (RS) (Short-Term Weekly Refuges): (This indicator) For short-term tactical analysis (4H, 1H) based on chosen phases of a ZigZag that define Fibo levels generated during the near past week(s) and probably effective in the present week. • IDR (RID) (Intra-Day Refuges): For daily operations relying on intraday levels on timeframes of 1H or less. Ideal for scalping traders. By combining LTR, LTRS, WR and IDR, you obtain a multi-level framework that allows you to operate with clarity at any time horizon, from intraday positions to investments spanning months and years. ## // Additional Notes // ════════════════ 1) Default parameters are optimized for volatile assets (crypto, tech stocks). For forex or less volatile instruments, consider reducing Deviation to 3-8%. 2) The "Phase in Development" (dashed line) shows the tentative current ZigZag segment that may still change as new bars form. 3) Bug reports, improvement proposals for the ZigZag generator, pattern determination, or Fibo composition, etc., will be greatly appreciated and taken into account for a future version. Best regards and happy hunting. (Sorry: Spanish translation erased trying to avoid confusing publishing banning rules).

Lanovyx# Lanovyx — Setup Window Confluence System ## The Problem This Solves Traditional confluence indicators require all conditions to align on the exact same bar: stochastic must be oversold AND price must touch support AND divergence must form — all simultaneously. In real markets, this rarely happens. Price touches VWAP -2σ, but stochastic doesn't reach oversold until 3 bars later. The opportunity is missed. **Lanovyx solves this with the Setup Window methodology.** --- ## Core Innovation: Setup Windows Instead of requiring simultaneous conditions, Lanovyx separates trading signals into two phases: **Phase 1 — Context Event (Setup Activation)** When a meaningful event occurs, it "opens a window" that stays active for a configurable number of bars: - Price touches VWAP ±2σ or ±3σ band → window opens - Price tests Previous Day High/Low → window opens - Stochastic divergence forms → window opens - Opening Range breakout occurs → window opens - Price reaches Support/Resistance level → window opens Each event adds to a cumulative "setup score" (capped at 8). Higher scores indicate stronger context. **Phase 2 — Trigger (Signal Generation)** Within the active window, when stochastic conditions confirm, a signal fires. The trigger doesn't need to occur on the same bar as the context — it just needs to occur while the window is open. This two-phase approach captures setups that traditional indicators miss entirely. --- ## Why Stochastic + VWAP Confluence Works **VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** tells us where institutional money has transacted. The standard deviation bands identify statistical extremes: - Price at VWAP -2σ is extended to the downside (potential mean reversion long) - Price at VWAP +2σ is extended to the upside (potential mean reversion short) **Stochastic Oscillator** measures momentum exhaustion. When price reaches a VWAP extreme AND stochastic shows momentum reversing, we have confluence of: 1. Price extension (VWAP bands) 2. Momentum exhaustion (Stochastic) 3. Context validation (Setup Window score) The multi-lane stochastic (14/21/55 periods) adds timeframe confluence — when fast, medium, and slow stochastics align, the signal is stronger. --- ## Five Signal Families Each family targets a specific market condition: ### 1. Trend Entry (T) — Blue Labels **When:** Stochastic pulls back to 25-55 zone (longs) or 45-75 zone (shorts) during established trend **Logic:** In trending markets, pullbacks to the "value zone" offer low-risk entries with trend **Best for:** Trending days with clear directional bias ### 2. Mean Reversion (R) — Green/Red Labels **When:** Stochastic exits oversold (<20) or overbought (>80) with active setup window **Logic:** At VWAP extremes with momentum exhaustion, price tends to revert to mean **Best for:** Range-bound, choppy markets **Requires:** Active setup window (context event must have occurred) ### 3. Breakout (B) — Orange Labels **When:** Stochastic lanes compress ("coil") then expand, crossing the 50 midline **Logic:** Compression precedes expansion; breakout from tight range signals new trend **Best for:** Transition days, post-squeeze moves ### 4. Momentum (M) — Green/Red Labels **When:** Stochastic crosses 50 from extreme zone (<25 or >75) within lookback period **Logic:** Catches V-shaped reversals where regime detection lags the move **Best for:** Fast reversals, news-driven moves ### 5. Counter-Signal / FADE (C) — Purple Labels **When:** A signal fires and immediately fails (stochastic reverses sharply against it) **Logic:** Failed signals often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction (trapped traders) **Confidence gating:** High-confidence fades generate signals; low-confidence show warnings only --- ## Institutional Key Levels Lanovyx incorporates levels that institutional traders use: - **PDH/PDL** (Previous Day High/Low) — Major support/resistance where stops cluster - **PDC** (Previous Day Close) — Settlement price, gap reference - **ORB** (Opening Range) — First 15 minutes high/low, breakout trigger - **IB** (Initial Balance) — First 60 minutes range, institutional benchmark These levels automatically activate setup windows when price interacts with them, adding to the setup score. --- ## Filtering System **ADX Filter:** In strong trends (ADX > 25), blocks counter-trend mean reversion signals to avoid fighting momentum. **HTF Bias Filter:** Optional alignment with higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour) EMAs. Can block or demote signals that oppose the larger trend. **Regime Detection:** Classifies market as Uptrend, Downtrend, Sideways, or Squeeze using EMA alignment and market structure (HH/HL/LH/LL patterns). --- ## How to Use 1. **Wait for Setup** — Watch for context events (VWAP band touch, key level test, divergence) 2. **Check the Score** — Higher setup scores indicate stronger context (visible in debug mode) 3. **Wait for Trigger** — Let stochastic confirm within the window 4. **Confirm Regime** — Ensure signal type matches market condition 5. **Manage Risk** — Use the ATR-based stop/target levels shown after signals **Strong signals (★)** appear when multiple confluence factors align — these are highest probability setups. --- ## Settings Overview | Setting | Default | Purpose | |---------|---------|---------| | Setup Window | 10 bars | How long context events stay active | | Entry Zone | 25-55 | Stochastic zone for trend pullback entries | | OS/OB Levels | 20/80 | Stochastic extremes for mean reversion | | Stop Loss | 1.5 ATR | Risk management distance | | Target 1 | 2.0 ATR | First profit target (1.33:1 R:R) | Recommended timeframes: 5-minute and 15-minute charts. --- ## Disclaimer This indicator is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose. No indicator can predict the future — use this as one input in your trading decision process, not as a standalone system.

Engulfing Candle Mid-pointsThis Pine Script, “Engulfing Candle Mid-points,” identifies bullish and bearish engulfing candles within a user-selected intraday time range. For a candle to qualify, it must fully engulf the previous candle’s body in the opposite direction and meet a configurable minimum body size in points. When such a candle is detected, the script draws a horizontal line at the mid-point of the candle’s body, extending forward for a user-defined number of bars. The script stores only the five most recent bullish and bearish lines to keep the chart clean, and all line colors, widths, and extension lengths are configurable, allowing traders to visually track significant price moves during specific trading sessions.

True FVGsThis script highlights 3-candle Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart, showing areas where price moved quickly and left potential gaps in market structure. Bullish FVGs are shown with green boxes and suggest possible support, while bearish FVGs are shown with red boxes and suggest possible resistance. It also includes doji candles—very small-bodied candles that indicate indecision—so these patterns are not missed. The script displays the most recent 5 FVGs, making it easy to spot recent potential areas where price may react.

CSS Reversal - VAThis indicator identifies a price action reversal pattern known as CSS (Candle Stop Setup). Unlike standard 3-candle patterns, this logic is dynamic and "hunts" for the true peak or valley before confirming a shift in momentum. Core Logic & Rules The script follows a specific sequence of "Initiation, Waiting, and Triggering" to ensure it captures high-probability reversals: 1. Initiation (The Sweep): The process starts when a candle (the Pivot) sweeps the liquidity of the previous candle. Bearish: Candle 2 makes a higher high than Candle 1. Bullish: Candle 2 makes a lower low than Candle 1. 2. Identifying the Extreme: The script tracks the absolute highest high (for bearish) or lowest low (for bullish) during the setup. If a subsequent candle goes higher/lower without triggering a close, the "mark" moves to that new extreme candle. 3. The Waiting Room (Inside Bars): The setup remains active even if several candles follow that do not break out of the Pivot's range. The script can wait indefinitely (e.g., 3, 4, or 5+ candles) as long as the original extreme is not breached. 4. The Trigger (The Confirmation): A signal is only confirmed when a candle closes past the opposite side of the extreme candle's body. Bearish Trigger: A candle closes below the Low of the highest candle. Bullish Trigger: A candle closes above the High of the lowest candle. 5. Retrospective Marking: Once the trigger close occurs, the script automatically places a visual marker (arrow) on the actual extreme candle (the peak or valley), even if that candle occurred several bars ago. Visual Indicators Red Arrow (↓): Placed at the high of the highest candle in a confirmed bearish reversal. Green Arrow (↑): Placed at the low of the lowest candle in a confirmed bullish reversal. Use Cases This script is designed for traders who look for Liquidity Sweeps and Market Structure Shifts. It filters out "fake" reversals where price merely wicks past a level without a solid closing confirmation, and it specifically accounts for "inside bar" periods where price consolidates before making its move.
