Indicator Description: Smart Candle Size

The Smart Candle Size is a technical indicator designed for traders who seek to analyze market momentum and optimize their strategies based on candle size, trend direction, and risk management parameters. This indicator combines several analytical tools to offer a deeper understanding of price movements, facilitating the identification of potential trading opportunities.

What Does the Indicator Do?

The indicator analyzes each candle in relation to the previous one, evaluating whether the size and position of the current candle meet certain predefined criteria. By incorporating an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a trend filter and adjusting variables such as candle size proportion, maximum candle size, and minimum distance from the EMA, the indicator helps identify market conditions that may be favorable for entering or exiting a trade.

How Does the Indicator Work?

• Candle Size Comparison:Size Proportion: The indicator compares the size of the current candle to the previous one. If the current candle is proportionally larger based on the set value (e.g., 1.3 times larger), it is considered significant.
  
• Trend Filter with EMA:Exponential Moving Average (EMA): An adjustable-length EMA is used to determine the general market trend. Bullish signals are considered when the price is above the EMA, and bearish signals when it is below.
  
• Additional Filters:Maximum Candle Size: Limits the size of candles considered to avoid the influence of unusually large candles.
  Minimum Distance from EMA: Ensures that the price is sufficiently away from the EMA to avoid signals in congested zones.
  
• Calculation of Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:Based on the configured ticks, the indicator calculates and visually displays the SL and TP levels on the chart.
  
• Visual Signals:Candle Coloring: Candles that meet the criteria are dynamically colored (green for bullish and red for bearish).
  Buy/Sell Labels: "W" labels are displayed for possible bullish opportunities and "X" for bearish ones.
  
• EMA Visualization:
  • A shading is added around the EMA to provide an additional visual reference on the trend.
    

How to Use the Indicator?

• Parameter Configuration:Adjust the Size Proportion to set how much larger the current candle must be compared to the previous one.
  Define the EMA Length according to your trading strategy.
  Set the Maximum Candle Size and Minimum Distance from EMA to filter out unwanted signals.
  Configure the SL and TP Ticks to automatically calculate the stop-loss and take-profit levels.
  
• Signal Interpretation:Green Candles (Bullish): Indicate possible buying opportunities if all criteria are met.
  Red Candles (Bearish): Indicate possible short-selling opportunities.
  Use the "W" and "X" labels as additional visual confirmation.
  
• Trade Planning:Use the SL and TP levels displayed on the chart to plan your orders and manage risk.
  
• Visual Customization:
  • Select the Chart Mode (Light or Dark) to adapt the indicator to your visual preferences.

• Maximum Candle Size: 120
  
• Minimum Distance from EMA: 141

Additional Considerations

• Not a Standalone Indicator: It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analyses for better decision-making.
  
• Prior Testing: Before using it on a real account, it is advisable to test the indicator on a demo account to familiarize yourself with its functionality and adjust parameters as necessary.
