Pure Morning 2.0 - Candlestick Pattern Doji StrategyThe new "Pure Morning 2.0 - Candlestick Pattern Doji Strategy" is a trend-following, intraday cryptocurrency trading system authored by devil_machine.
The system identifies Doji and Morning Doji Star candlestick formations above the EMA60 as entry points for long trades.
For best results we recommend to use on 15-minute, 30-minute, or 1-hour timeframes, and are ideal for high-volatility markets.
The strategy also utilizes a profit target or trailing stop for exits, with stop loss set at the lowest low of the last 100 candles. The strategy's configuration details, such as Doji tolerance, and exit configurations are adjustable.
In this new version 2.0, we've incorporated a new selectable filter. Since the stop loss is set at the lowest low, this filter ensures that this value isn't too far from the entry price, thereby optimizing the Risk-Reward ratio.
In the specific case of ALPINE, a 9% Take-Profit and and Stop-Loss at Lowest Low of the last 100 candles were set, with an activated trailing-stop percentage, Max Loss Filter is not active.

Market Relative Candle Ratio ComparatorIntroducing the Market Relative Candle Ratio Comparator, a visually captivating script that eases the way you compare two financial assets, such as cryptocurrencies and market indices. Leveraging a distinctive calculation method based on percentage changes and their averages, this tool presents a crystal-clear view of how your chosen assets perform in relation to each other, both for individual candles and over a range of previous candles.
Tailoring the script to your preferences is a walk in the park, as it allows you to easily adjust input symbols, moving average lengths, and other parameters to match your analytical approach. The visually arresting column chart it creates employs vivid red and green colors to underscore the differences between the two assets on each candle. Simultaneously, the lower-opacity columns depict the accumulated differences over a specified lookback period. This vibrant blend of colors and opacities results in a dynamic visual experience, enabling you to better grasp market trends relative to each other.
The reverse bool input is a handy feature that lets you invert the effect of the input symbol (DXY by default) in the comparison. When you set the reverse input to true, the script multiplies the calculated DXY percentage change by -1, effectively reversing the comparison. This is particularly useful when examining assets with an inverse relationship or when you'd like to analyze the input symbol's impact in the opposite direction.
For instance, if the input symbol represents a market index that generally moves in the opposite direction of the selected cryptocurrency, enabling the reverse input will help you better visualize and understand the relationship between the two assets by inverting the input symbol's effect on the comparison.
In the accompanying chart, you can observe the comparison of Bitcoin's movement relative to the Dollar, Gold, Bonds, and the S&P 500. The indicator reveals that in the last day, Bitcoin outperformed Bonds, Gold, and the Dollar but not the S&P 500!
Liquidity Engulfing Candles [upslidedown]Liquidity engulfing candles (LEC) are a variant of a common candlestick pattern: engulfing candles but with a couple extra conditions applied. These conditions expect highs/lows to be taken out in order to show a continuation or reversal signal.
Filter 1: Stop Hunt Wick Filter
This filter requires the candle to wick into the prior candles high or low ( bullish = wick below prior candle lows). This is the stop hunt.
Filter 2: Close Filter
This filter requires the candle to close above or below above the prior candle ( bullish = close above prior candle high). This is the confirmation.
This idea was introduced to me by @attrk632. Thanks, mate!
Price Action CandlesThis simple script provides a visual aid for price action traders by coloring outside & inside candles, which in effect leaves the trader with 6 possible candle colors:
-Regular bullish candle
-Outside bullish candle
-Inside bullish candle
-Regular bearish candle
-Outside bearish candle
-Inside bearish candle
These candlesticks may provide powerful signals when used in conjunction with key levels, market structure and chart patterns.
Make sure to disable the regular candlesticks (body, borders and wicks) in the symbol tab inside the configuration menu!
Hope it can help someone!
Bull and Bear Marubozus Candlestick PatternMarubozus are an interesting candle pattern wherein the close and open of the candle are also the high / low points of the candle. In other words, a candle with no shadows or wicks.
How reliable are they, though? Probably not very reliable on their own. It may also depend on the size of the candle. You would probably want to incorporate this candle pattern with other filters, like RSI, MACD, to filter trade opportunities.
Hammer & Shooting Star Candle DetectorHi guys
This script will help you to find Hammer candles and also Shooting star candles.
These candle patterns indicate price reversal probability and should evaluate in bigger price context before using as a signal.
I hope you find it helpful and enjoy it.
Please leave your comments for improving this script.

Vector Volume Delta Candles [Capitalize Labs]Vector Volume Delta Candles is a visual market analysis indicator designed to highlight relative volume activity directly on price candles. The indicator classifies candles based on volume intensity and price range expansion compared to recent historical data and applies color coding for visual context only.
This indicator functions strictly as a candle-coloring overlay. It does not generate trade signals, entries, exits, alerts, forecasts, or predictions. No automated trading decisions are made or implied.
How it works
Evaluates current candle volume relative to a moving average of recent volume
Optionally incorporates a volume × price range comparison to identify unusually active candles
Classifies candles as:
Climactic when volume activity is significantly above recent norms
Elevated when volume is above average but not climactic
Applies configurable colors to candles based on classification and candle direction
Includes optional color customization and the ability to revert candle coloring
Uses historical data only and does not repaint or reference future bars
Intended use
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical purposes only. It may be used as a visual reference alongside other tools or discretionary analysis methods. All interpretations are subjective and must be evaluated independently by the user.
No assumptions are made regarding market direction, probability, or outcome.

Manipulation Candle (RIC) V0.2Interpretation and Trading Use
Boxed Candles: Represent 15-minute periods with unusually high range relative to daily volatility. These may signal:
Market manipulation (e.g., stop hunts or fakeouts).
Breakouts, reversals, or high-impact news.
Entry/exit points in strategies focusing on volatility expansion.
No Boxes: Indicates normal or low-volatility candles (range < threshold).
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: On lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min), boxes encompass multiple bars. On higher (e.g., 1-hour), they highlight specific 15-min segments.
Example: On a volatile stock like TSLA, a 0.2 multiplier might highlight candles during earnings releases, aiding in spotting trading opportunities.
Limitations and Considerations
Drawing Limits: TradingView caps drawing objects at ~500 per script. On long histories, older boxes may not load—zoom in or reduce chart bars.
Data Availability: Requires 15-minute and daily data; may not work on illiquid symbols or non-standard charts (e.g., Renko).
Real-Time Delays: Boxes appear only after 15-min closes; no intra-bar drawing.
No Alerts Built-In: Add custom alerts via TradingView's alert system (e.g., on condition changes).
Performance: Efficient, but on very low timeframes with long history, it may use more resources due to persistent boxes.
Customization: For extensions (e.g., labels, multiple timeframes), modify the code carefully in Pine Script® v6 to avoid errors.
Version History
V0.2: Added persistent historical boxes; refined new candle detection.
Future Updates: Potential additions like box limits or multi-multiplier support. Check for updates in the script comments.
If you encounter issues or need customizations, refer to TradingView's Pine Script® documentation or community forums. For error-free extensions in Pine Script® v6, ensure proper variable scoping, type declarations, and testing on historical data.

S_Sigma HTF Candles is a powerful, non-repainting overlay indicator that allows you to visualize up to 6 different Higher Timeframes (HTF) directly on your current chart.
Designed specifically for traders who need context without switching tabs, this tool draws accurate HTF candles using UTC time (standard for Crypto) while labeling them with New York Timezone data (standard for Stocks/Forex). It also detects Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances automatically.
🌟 Key Features
📊 6 Independent HTF Slots
Configure up to 6 different timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W). Each slot is customizable and can be toggled on/off independently.
🌍 UTC Drawing + NY Labels (The "Sigma" Edge)
Drawing: Candles are calculated strictly using UTC time to ensure wicks and bodies match exchange data (perfect for BTC/ETH).
Labels: Day of the Week (Mon/Tue/Wed) and Time labels are converted to America/New_York time. Never get confused by candle closes again.
#HTF Countdown Timer**
See exactly how much time is left until the Higher Timeframe candle closes. Essential for timing entries at the "Candle Close."
📈 Smart Imbalance Detection
FVG (Fair Value Gaps): Automatically highlights 3-candle reversal gaps.
VI (Volume Imbalance): Highlights wicks that pierce previous bodies.
🏗️ Custom Session Starts
Don't like the standard Daily candle? Force the Daily candle to open at 08:30 NY or 09:30 NY (Market Open) instead of Midnight UTC.
⚙️ Customization Options
Visuals: Full control over Bull/Bear colors, borders, wicks, and opacity.
Layout: Adjust padding, width, and spacing between timeframes to prevent overlap.
Trace Lines: Optional lines tracing the Open, High, Low, and Close of the forming HTF candle.
Labels: Toggle HTF names, Timers, and Day-of-Week labels on/off.
💡 How to Use
Add to Chart: The indicator draws candles to the right of the current price (offset) to keep your chart clean.
Check Alignment: Ensure the "Daily Name" matches your expected market session (NY Time).
Spot Entries: Look for price entering an FVG (Gray box) or hitting a HTF Support/Resistance level (Wick of the HTF candle).
Time Entries: Wait for the Timer to hit 00:00 for a confirmed candle close.

Reversal Candlestick Setups (Doji, Outside, Extreme, Wick)Reversal Candlestick Setups – Doji, Outside, Extreme & Wick
This indicator identifies four high-probability reversal candlestick patterns across all timeframes: Doji Reversals, Outside Reversals, Extreme Reversals, and Wick Reversals. Each setup is based on clearly defined quantitative rules, allowing traders to filter noise and focus on strong reversal signals instead of relying on subjective visual interpretation.
The tool automatically scans every candle, highlights qualifying patterns on the chart, and provides alert options for both bullish and bearish versions of all four setups. This makes it suitable for intraday traders, swing traders, and positional traders seeking early reversal confirmation.
Included Setups
1. Doji Reversal Setup
Identifies candles with extremely small bodies relative to their range, combined with a smaller-than-average bar size. Useful for spotting market indecision before a directional shift.
2. Outside Reversal Setup
Flags candles that engulf the previous candle’s high–low range and exceed the average range by a multiplier. This is designed to capture strong momentum reversals driven by aggressive buying or selling.
3. Extreme Reversal Setup
Highlights large-bodied candles that dominate their overall range and exceed twice the average bar size. These signals aim to catch climactic exhaustion and institutional-level reversals.
4. Wick Reversal Setup
Detects candles with long rejection wicks, small bodies, and closes near an extreme of the range, supported by above-average bar size. Ideal for identifying sharp intrabar rejections.
Key Features
• Automatically detects all four reversal setups
• Works on all timeframes and symbols
• Customizable variables for deeper testing and optimization
• Clear bullish and bearish labels directly on the chart
• Fully integrated alert conditions for real-time notifications
• Suitable for crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities
Who This Indicator Is For
• Traders who want objective, rule-based reversal detection
• Price action traders looking to enhance accuracy
• Systematic traders wanting quantifiable candlestick criteria
• Beginners learning reversal structures with visual guidance
• Professionals integrating reversal patterns into algorithmic or discretionary systems
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and enable alerts for the specific setups you want to track (e.g., “Bullish Wick Reversal”). Combine these signals with market structure, trend filters, volume analysis, or momentum indicators for increased conviction.
3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle)This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern.
It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers.
If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down.
In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement.
It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation.
How does it work?
Upside/Green signal
Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
Here the buyers defeated the sellers.
Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks.
I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern.
Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders.
Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Downside/Red signal
Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close.
I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
I call it the -+- or RGR pattern.
Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders.
Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Important Settings
You can enable or disable the 4th candle signal to avoid the noise, but at times I have noticed that the 4th candle gives a very strong signal or I can say that the strong signal falls on the 4th candle. This is mostly a coincidence.
You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example.
Rest are self explanatory.
Pointers
If after taking the trade, the next candle moves in your direction and closes strong bullish or bearish, then move SL to break even and after that you can trail it.
If a upside trade hits SL and immediately a down side trade signal is generated on the next candle then take it. Vice versa is true.
Trades need to be taken on previous 2 candle's body high or low combined and not the wicks.
The most losses a trader takes is on a sideways day and because in our strategy the stop loss is so small that even on a sideways day we'll get out with a little profit or worst break even.
Hold targets for longer targets and don't panic.
If last 3-4 days have been sideways then there is a good probability that day will be trending so we can hold our trade for longer targets. Target to hold the trade for whole day and not exit till the day closes.
In general avoid trading in the middle of the day for index and stocks. Divide the day into 3 parts and avoid the middle.
Use Support/Resistance, 10, 20, 50, 200 EMA/SMA, Gaps, Whole/Round numbers(very imp) for identifying targets.
Trail your SL.
For indexes I would use 5 min and 15 min timeframe.
For commodities and crypto we can use higher timeframe as well. Look for signals during volatile time durations and avoid trading the whole day. Signal usually gives good targets on those times.
If a GRG or RGR pattern appears on a daily timeframe then this is our time to go big.
Minimum Risk to Reward should be 1:2 and for longer targets can be 1:4 to 1:10.
Trade with small lot size. Money management will happen automatically.
With small lot size and correct Risk-Re ward we can be very profitable. Don't trade with big lot size.
Stay in the market for longer and collect points not money.
Very imp - Watch market and learn to generate a market view.
Very imp - Only 4 candles are needed in trading - strong bullish, strong bearish, hammer, inverse hammer and doji.
Go big on bearish days for option traders. Puts are better bought and Calls are better sold.
Cluster of green signals can lead to bigger move on the upside and vice versa for red signals.
Most of this is what I learned from successful traders (from the top 2%) only the indicator is mine.
Market Imbalance Tracker (Inefficient Candle + FVG)# 📊 Overview
This indicator combines two imbalance concepts:
• **Squared Up Points (SUP)** – midpoints of large, "inefficient" candles that often attract price back.
• **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** – 3-candle gaps created by strong impulse moves that often get "filled."
Use them separately or together. Confluence between a SUP line and an FVG boundary/midpoint is high-value.
---
# ⚡ Quick Start (2 minutes)
1. **Add to chart** → keep defaults (Percentile method, 80th percentile, 100-bar lookback).
2. **Watch** for dashed SUP lines to print after large candles.
3. **Toggle Show FVG** → see green/red boxes where gaps exist.
4. **Turn on alerts** → New SUP created, SUP touched, New FVG.
5. **Trade the reaction** → look for confluence (SUP + FVG + S/R), then manage risk.
---
# 🛠 Features
## 🔹 Squared Up Points (SUP)
• **Purpose:** Midpoint of a large candle → potential support/resistance magnet.
• **Detection:** Choose *Percentile* (adaptive) or *ATR Multiple* (absolute).
• **Validation:** Only plots if the preceding candle does not touch the midpoint (with tolerance).
• **Lifecycle:** Line auto-extends into the future; it's removed when touched or aged out.
• **Visual:** Horizontal dashed line (color/width configurable; style fixed to dashed if not exposed).
## 🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• **Purpose:** 3-candle gaps from an impulse; price often revisits to "fill."
• **Detection:** Requires a strong directional candle (Marubozu threshold) creating a gap.
• **Types:**
- **Bullish FVG (Green):** Gap below; expectation is downward fill.
- **Bearish FVG (Red):** Gap above; expectation is upward fill.
• **Close Rules (if implemented):**
- *Full Fill:* Gap closes when the opposite boundary is tagged.
- *Midpoint Fill:* Gap closes when its midpoint is tagged.
• **Visual:** Colored boxes; optional split-coloring to emphasize the midpoint.
> **Note:** If a listed FVG option isn't visible in Inputs, you're on a lighter build; use the available switches.
---
# ⚙️ Settings
## SUP Settings
• **Candle Size Method:** Percentile (top X% of recent ranges) or ATR Multiple.
• **Candle Size Percentile:** e.g., 80 → top 20% largest candles.
• **ATR Multiple & Period:** e.g., 1.5 × ATR(14).
• **Percentile Lookback:** Bars used to compute percentile.
• **Lookback Period:** How long SUP lines remain eligible before auto-cleanup.
• **Touch Tolerance (%):** Buffer based on the inefficient candle's range (0% = exact touch).
## Line Appearance
• **Line Color / Width:** Customizable.
• **Style:** Dashed (fixed unless you expose a style input).
## FVG Settings (if present in your build)
• **Show FVG:** On/Off.
• **Close Method:** Full Fill or Midpoint.
• **Marubozu Wick Tolerance:** Max wick % of the impulse bar.
• **Use Split Coloring:** Two-tone box halves around midpoint.
• **Colors:** Bullish/Bearish, and upper/lower halves (if split).
• **Max FVG Age:** Auto-remove older gaps.
---
# 📈 How to Use
## Trading Applications
• **SUP Lines:** Expect reaction on first touch; use as S/R or profit-taking magnets.
• **FVG Fills:** Price frequently tags the midpoint/boundary before continuing.
• **Confluence:** SUP at an FVG midpoint/boundary + higher-timeframe S/R = higher quality.
• **Bias:** Clusters of unfilled FVGs can hint at path of least resistance.
## Best Practices
• **Timeframe:** HTFs for swing levels, LTFs for execution.
• **Volume:** High volume at level = stronger signal.
• **Context:** Trade with broader trend or at least avoid counter-trend without confirmation.
• **Risk:** Always pre-define invalidation; structures fail in chop.
---
# 🔔 Alerts
• **New SUP Created** – When a qualifying inefficient candle prints a SUP midpoint.
• **SUP Touched/Invalidated** – When price touches within tolerance.
• **New FVG Detected** – When a valid gap forms per your rules.
> **Tip:** Set alerts *Once Per Bar Close* on HTFs; *Once* on LTFs to avoid noise.
---
# 🧑💻 Technical Notes
• **Percentile vs ATR:** Percentile adapts to volatility; ATR gives consistency for backtesting.
• **FVG Direction Logic:** Gap above price = bearish (expect up-fill); below = bullish (expect down-fill).
• **Performance:** Limits on lines/boxes and auto-aging keep things snappy.
---
# ⚠️ Limitations
• Imbalances are **context tools**, not signals by themselves.
• Works best with trend or clear impulses; expect noise in narrow ranges.
• Lower-timeframe gaps can be plentiful and lower quality.
---
# 📌 Version & Requirements
• **Pine Script v6**
• Heavy drawings may require **TradingView Pro** or higher (object limits).

Candles by Day, Time, Month + StatsThis Pine Script allows you to filter and display candles based on:
📅 Specific days of the week
🕒 Custom intraday time ranges (e.g., 9:15 to 10:30)
📆 Selected months
📊 Shows stats for each filtered block:
🔼 Range (High – Low)
📏 Average candle body size
⚙️ Key Features:
✅ Filter by day, time, and month
🎛 Toggle to show/hide the stats label
🟩 Candles are drawn only for selected conditions
📍 Stats label is positioned above session high (adjustable)
⚠️ Important Setup Instructions:
✅ 1. Use it on a blank chart
To avoid overlaying with default candles:
Open the chart of your preferred symbol
Click on the chart type (top toolbar: "Candles", "Bars", etc.)
Select "Blank" from the dropdown (this will hide all native candles)
Apply this indicator
This ensures only the filtered candles from the script are visible.
Adjust for your local timezone
This script uses a hardcoded timezone: "Asia/Kolkata"
If you are in a different timezone, change it to your own (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", etc.) in all instances of:
time(timeframe.period, "Asia/Kolkata")
timestamp("Asia/Kolkata", ...)
Use Cases:
Opening range behavior on specific weekdays/months
Detecting market anomalies during exact windows
Building visual logs of preferred trade hours
Third Candle MarkerTitel: Third Candle Marker – Highlights Trend Continuation
Beschreibung:
This script highlights potential trend continuation setups by marking the third candle after two consecutive candles of the same direction.
If the previous two candles were bullish (green), the third candle is colored green.
If the previous two candles were bearish (red), the third candle is colored red.
A white color indicates that no clear trend was detected in the previous two candles.
Additionally, the script plots small triangle markers:
Green upward triangle below the bar if the last two candles were bullish.
Red downward triangle above the bar if the last two candles were bearish.
Use this tool to visually identify potential continuation signals in trending markets. Suitable for all timeframes.
Note: This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant to assist in visual trend recognition.
HTF Overlay Candles (Aggregated)🕯️ Synthetic Aggregated Candles
Created by: The_Forex_Steward
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
🔍 Description
This indicator creates visually aggregated candles directly on your chart, allowing you to view synthetic candlesticks that combine multiple bars into one. It enables a higher-level perspective of price action without switching timeframes.
Each synthetic candle is built by combining a user-defined number of consecutive bars (e.g., 4 bars from the current timeframe form one aggregated candle). It accurately tracks open, high, low, and close values, then draws a colored box and wick to represent the aggregated data.
⚙️ Features
Aggregation Factor: Combine candles over a custom number of bars (e.g., 4 = 4x current TF)
Timezone Alignment: Aggregation is aligned with midnight in UTC-5 (modifiable in code)
Custom Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish synthetic candles
Body Opacity: Control the opacity of the candle body for visual clarity
Wick Width: Customize the thickness of the candle wick
📌 Use Case
Ideal for traders looking to:
- Reduce noise in lower timeframes
- Visualize price action in broader chunks
- Spot larger structure and swing patterns without switching charts
📈 How It Works
At every bar, the script checks whether a new aggregation interval has begun (aligned to the day start). If so, it finalizes the previous candle and starts a new one. On the last bar of the chart, it ensures the final synthetic candle is drawn.
✅ Tip

Volume CandlesVolume Candles — Context-Aware Candle Color
Description:
This visual indicator colors your price candles based on relative volume intensity, helping traders instantly detect low, medium, and high volume activity at a glance. It supports two modes — Percentile Ranking and Volume Average — offering flexible interpretation of volume pressure across all timeframes.
It uses a 3-tiered color system (bright, medium, dark) with customizable tones for both bullish and bearish candles.
How It Works:
You can choose between two modes for volume classification:
Ranking Mode (Default):
Measures current volume’s percentile rank over a lookback period. Higher percentiles = stronger color intensity.
Percentile thresholds:
< 50% → light color (low volume)
50–80% → medium intensity
> 80% → high volume
Volume Average Mode:
Compares current volume against its simple moving average (SMA).
Volume thresholds:
< 0.5× SMA → light color
Between 0.5× and 1.5× → medium
> 1.5× → high intensity
Candle Paint:
Candles are colored directly on the chart, not in a separate pane. Bullish candles use green shades, bearish use red. All colors are fully customizable.
How to Interpret:
Bright Colors = High volume (potential strength or climax)
Muted/Transparent Colors = Low or average volume (consolidation, traps)
Example Use Cases:
Spot fakeouts with large price movement on weak volume (dark color)
Confirm breakout strength with bright candles
Identify stealth accumulation/distribution
Inputs & Settings:
Mode: Ranking Percentile or Volume Average
Lookback Period for ranking and SMA
Custom Colors for bullish and bearish candles at 3 intensity levels
Best For:
Price action traders wanting context behind each candle
Scalpers and intraday traders needing real-time volume feedback
Anyone using volume as a filter for entries or breakouts
Pro Tips:
Combine with Price Action, Bollinger Bands or VWAP/EMA levels to confirm breakout validity and intent behind a move.
Use alongside RSI/MACD divergences for high-volume reversal signals.
For swing trading, expand the lookback period to better normalize volume over longer trends.
2 MA + Strat Candle ColorsThe "2 MA + Strat Candle Colors" indicator combines two customizable moving averages (MAs) with a strategic candle-coloring system to help traders analyze trends and price action. Here’s a breakdown of its features:
1. Two Moving Averages (MAs):
MA 1 & MA 2 Settings:
Users can select between 7 MA types for each line: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, LSMA, SMMA.
Adjustable periods and price sources (e.g., close, open) for both MAs.
Default settings: MA 1 = 9-period EMA, MA 2 = 20-period EMA.
Plotting:
MA 1 is blue, MA 2 is red (colors customizable via inputs).
Crossovers between the MAs can signal trend changes.
2. Strategic Candle Coloring:
Candles are colored based on their relationship to the previous candle:
Green (Bullish): "Two-Up Bar" – current high > prior high, and low does not break prior low.
Red (Bearish): "Two-Down Bar" – current low < prior low, and high does not break prior high.
Purple (Outside Bar): "Three Bar" – current candle engulfs the prior candle (higher high and lower low).
Yellow (Inside Bar): "One Bar" – current candle is contained within the prior candle’s range.
Candle coloring is based on:
Big Candle Highlighter (Nifty 1m)This indicator will help option buyers to avoid taking trade in impulsive candles.
For Example :
Normal 1m candle: ~10–15 pts
Big candle (possible liquidity/impulse): >18 pts
Very large / avoid chasing: >25 pts
If you see a candle that breaks structure with a 25-30 point range and closes strong, it’s often:
A liquidity sweep
A news spike
Or the start of an impulsive leg — in which case entering at close can be risky without a retest
SR Intensity CandleThis is a very simple script intended to find just what the title says, "Intensity Candles" is what i am calling them. A bullish intensity candle is taking the low of the previous candle and the close is above the previous candle high. Bearish intensity candle is the opposite, a candle that takes the high of the previous candle and the close is below the low of the previous candle.
Alternatively, if a "bullish" intensity candle is the mitigated and price pushes below, you can expect a back test short of the "bullish" intensity candle. They will act as SR zones for the future price action.
The BEST and most ideal spot for the intensity candles to happen is the see a bullish candle at the low of a move and a bearish candle at the highs indicating strong movement for reversal.
